The Mariners had many chances to win this game today and climb above .500. They had several key opportunities to pick up their ace, La Piedra, and to yeet that rock at the heads of their enemies (the Rangers, sliders in the dirt, RISP, etc), but they failed to do so and now everyone who was rightfully wary of the Now Dangerous Texas Rangers (Kate, et al.) gets to feel validated. Sad, but validated still. The Rangers are going to make the road to the top AL West in 2023 significantly more covered in speed traps and qualified immunity.
