On Friday, I looked at the Seattle Mariners current state of affairs and then posted this poll on Twitter about the Seahawks: Would you rather they finish 3-13 or 8-8? The immediate response was “The answer to this is too easy” as many responded that Seattle should tank their final five games, but slowly started to edge closer to even as the poll continued and I made some points about the 2010 Seahawks. Still, 3-13 was the clear winner.
More so than arguing that 8-8 is the right move, I’ve been arguing that 3-13 is far from the “obvious” move.
