7-2 against an objectively awful team doesn’t feel good, but honestly, this game feels like it could have been lost at 4-1. Or 2-1. The Mariners bats are so cold right now scientists are applying for grants to study them. They’ve also lost any ability to string hits together; the Mariners had six hits, and were only able to push across two runs, one in garbage time and one thanks to the fact that the Blue Jays are objectively awful defenders. Being virtually shut out by Ryan Borucki isn’t as bad as being dominated by Mike Hauschild, whose MLB photo features him wearing a Memphis Redbirds hat, but it doesn’t feel good either, especially because Borucki’s control wavered at times.
Mariners do nothing to earn fans’ trust, dollars, or goodwill, lose 7-2
