Sometimes, when you’re in the midst of things, it can feel much worse than reality, and it’s only with the benefit of hindsight that you can look back and laugh at your own foolishness.
The Mariners’ July was not like that. It was, in fact, just as bad as it felt. July was the first month of 2018 when the team played below .500 ball, going 10-12, and it felt as though all the enthusiasm had been siphoned from Seattle.
MVP of the Month (hitter): Denard Span
The bar was, admittedly, overwhelmingly low for July, with all but two of the Mariners hitters unable to push their wRC+ beyond 100, but Denard Span has been crushing it.
