I like spring training. It’s fun, kind of goofy, and ultimately free of the burden of consequence. Sure it’s our first real chance to judge the teams ahead of a new season, but it’s also baseball for baseball’s sake. And I think that’s worth celebrating. BUT. Don’t let that distract you from the really meaningful thing about this afternoon’s game:
The Mariners won a baseball game!
After losing Monday, then tying Tuesday, the M’s came back on Thursday to win! I see a trend here, but I’m not sure what’s next. (super winning?)
The Mariners bats were quiet in the first two innings, the first six hitters failing to reach base.
