A quick glance of tonight’s pitching matchup would show what manager Dan Wilson described pregame as “an old veteran versus a young veteran.” Perhaps a symbolic representation of the nearing yet uncertain end of this 2024 Mariners season, many of the team’s most promising results have come out of learning from the old and embracing the new. With long term changes to the team including new signings and contract extensions, as well as the notable recent changes of manager, hitting coach, and overall team philosophy, this team still has much to learn from past performances but has appeared to embrace the new aspects of the club and slowly head towards an upward trajectory.
