In talking about yesterday’s teeter-totter victory, Scott Servais said “That’s how we played a lot of games last year. The never-quit attitude. And to do that, everybody has to chip in, get out of themselves, and be focused on the team, and that’s what you’ve seen the last couple games.” But there’s a part of the quote I failed to transcribe, and it’s the part that failed the Mariners today: you also need a little bit of luck.
Of course, you also have to make your own luck, and the Mariners didn’t do a great job of that today.
