The Mariners are going to make the playoffs. It’s just going to happen.
I know last week sapped all of our collective strength and made The Thing happening feel more up in the air, but as our own Isabelle Minasian wrote on Monday, the worst case scenario for the Mariners is Wild Card #2.
But, as we saw today, it’s worth aiming for the best case.
Yet early on, tonight’s game threatened to be another painful, no good, very bad, M’s loss to a bad team. In the first inning, Nathaniel Lowe bounced a double off the centerfield wall before being driven in by Josh Jung, may the devil double triple damn him.
