Series Preview: Mariners (18-13) vs. Cubs (14-12)

After a strong start to their series against the Rangers, two ugly games over the weekend left a bad aftertaste. In those two games, the Mariners combined for seven errors leading to 10 unearned runs. That pushed their season totals to 37 errors and 31 unearned runs. That puts them on pace to come close to the modern record for team errors set by the 1974 Cubs (199 errors). These ridiculously high error totals haven’t been commonly seen since the turn of the 20^th century when gloves looked more like glorified oven mitts than the standard baseball glove of today.
