These 10 pitch at bats in classic Kyle Seager or Seth Smith style is some of the most entertaining stuff.  It is much preferred to inning ending ground into double plays and one hoppers to the first baseman.  That's bad baseball.  My eight year old kid can get into an 11 pitch at bat.  "What happens if he fouls it 75 times"?  "Nothing, the game goes on." 

There is such a thing as boring yet effective style.  Check the MMA career of Cole Konrad.  He wasn't a good interview, his muscles didn't bulge, he didn't hype a crowd, and he never lost a bout.  He was the Bellator champ before he retired, and the UFC stayed well away from him in favor of more exciting brawlers. 

We like moon shots, swinging strikes and doubles down the line, but at the end of the day, we will take our winning however we can get it.  If the Mariners win boring or ugly, then so be it.
