Spring Training this year is a good exercise for Mariners fans in preparing themselves for what promises to be a fairly rocky season: focus on the process, not the results. Sure, the Mariners lost today, but we got a Jarred Kelenic dinger and an Evan White almost-dinger in the process, so who really won? I mean, it was still the Rockies. They won the game. (By, I just realized, a score of 9-6, meaning the Mariners lost 6-9 for the second time is as many recaps as I’ve written. Not nice.)
The Rockies won the game on the back of not one, not two, not three, but FOUR home runs, as they warm up to return to the homer-happy confines of COORS.
