true that the M's are last in everything.
If they're *attempting* to do one or the other, though, the Mariners right now are going for precision, pro AB's, per the Wakamatsu Doctrine.
They're taking a lot of pitches, but not doing anything with them once they get their pitches. What do they have, 1 HR in 12 games? Wotta joke.

So there's the catch-22 -- much harder to get a BB when everybody's glad to tube the pitches on 3-1.
