I don’t need to consult the actual statistics, so I’m sorry if you want to see that. I want to speak from the heart.
The Mariners don’t hit well. Simply.
And they haven’t for a long time. I feel like it’s been since Ichiro in 2008 or something that I really felt confident in any Mariner to produce.
Again, I don’t need to look up the exact number of years that the M’s have ranked near the bottom of the American League in runs, batting average, and pretty much everything else that matters offensively. I just know it’s been far too long since I’ve felt like the Mariners were a capable offensive team.
