In order for us to look at how bad things are right now, we need to go back to when things were good. When the Mariners were sitting right at .500.
May 10, 2017 Game 2 of Philadelphia series
Seattle blew out Philadelphia 11-6 on Wednesday, after completing the most improbable of comebacks the night before. Seattle was 17-17. They had momentum, quite a bit of it in fact, and in that moment it felt like all the injuries in the world couldn’t stop this team.
Then as the icing on a sweet, sweet cake, Seattle got 4 games against the hapless Blue Jays who were at the time 14-21.
