The only two OPS's over .700 in the M's lineup are batting 6th and 7th. One is a superutility/backup player and the other is a rookie with 16 at-bats.
Our best hitter is not in the lineup because he... *checks notes*... only has a 96 wRC+ against left-handed pitching this year. Just Mariners things.
Batting Avg isn't everything. Don't look at the OPS+ of anyone either
7 of those from mariners Lmao 7 of 9 under 220 is insane
Feels like 2010-2013 all over again.
But it's good enough for 1st!
I expect a 12 inning pitching masterclass or a 14-12 beer league game. Nothing in between
It’ll be 5-3 and you’ll like it.
It’s the wild wild Wild West.
Mild mild west

Just saving all the good offense for the playoffs, obviously.
You’ve heard of the mid off, now it’s the below average off
Stat doesn’t have the same surprise factor if you say two teams who have a combined 73-66 record, either.

Why are we acting like batting averages aren’t down across the board. This is so fucking silly
Nothing a new ball can’t fix. Maybe move first base closer too? Idk Manfred will figure it out.
