In the pregame show, a female fan wrote in "Is it just me, or are the Mariners not having any fun playing baseball?" Possible answers to this unspeakably naive question:

that one was going to be a #Whale of a contest right from the swing of the bat. What the run expectancy here, about 0.93 #jemanji #SSI

On the most recent occasion that Taijuan was torn limb-from-limb, May 21st, Dr. D opined that the difference between Good Taijuan and Bad Taijuan could be illustrated in 3-dimensional space:

M's 3, Vannelope 6

Careening around the peaks and pikes of Sugar Rush Speedway -- that's Archer, Bauer, Salazar, Kluber, Pineda, with Taffyta Muttonfudge and Swizzle Malarkey up next -- the M's have been trying hard to glitch their way into a couple of leads. Early in the game Sunday, Dr. D was not holding his breath.
Funny thing, though: around the fifth curve, the Mariners took the high side on Salazar and caught no fence on the pass. Logan Morrison led off with a clean off-field single and I don't care how many Dustin Ackleys you carry in your pit crew, you've now got:
- A run expectancy on the inning of +1,
- Your SP throwing great and already into the 6th,
- Your bullpen almost ready to go.
But this is exactly what's so frustrating about the M's, knowhutuhmean? You've got a 240-lb. first baseman with an average batted-ball velocity of 120 MPH, and he can ping a single the other way, and ... we've been the better part of a month since his last home run. Here we are again.

On May 10th, Dr. D advised the M's to play easier teams. As usual, they nodded and implemented my recommendation. Since then okay!, okay! since roughly then or thereabouts, they ripped off a 6-3 homestand against OAK, SDP and BOS. They followed this with a 6-3 road trip against ... I dunno, teams way East that aren't the Yankees.

Mariners … ELEVEN Runs ?!

Mike Zunino hit a home run, impossibly, over the beer garden in center field. They gave him credit for 445 feet, of which ripoff stunned Jay Buhner into silence. That should give you a feel for how chintzy the measurement was. Then again, Stanton's ball was off the legal premises at Dodger and that got only 475 feet, so okay. But here's the vid if you want to savor id.
