Do you prefer comfortable blowout wins, or games that are close throughout that may or may not result in wins? Yesterday’s 8-0 drubbing of the Angels was deeply satisfying, but by the sixth inning or so, the energy in the ballpark had taken a noticeable dip, as many fans—wearing both red and teal—streamed towards the exits between innings. Today the Mariners eked out a win, 3-2, keeping it closer than one might hope against the Zombie Angels, with 31,250 fans in attendance—all of whom seemingly stayed until the last pitch was thrown (well, actually: the last throw. More on that later).
