One of the most challenging parts of baseball is the grind of playing a game every day, and also, one of the biggest gift of baseball is getting to play a game every day. Tonight the Mariners swept away yesterday’s bad vibes and disappointing loss to the Cubs with a team win that featured what so many of the games so far this season have lacked: solid pitching, grinding out at-bats, stacking hits, and playing clean defense, all working together in harmony. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a player making a debut; as Lou wrote, a debut is one of baseball’s most beautiful moments, creating a generous pride that connects us all as people.
Mariners, fans, enjoy vibe-repairing win over Reds, 9-3
