of great starts, homer streaks and too many errors. . .

Well, this was unexpected!

Whodathunk that the Mariners would be leading the majors in WINS after the first ELEVEN games?!? Granted, they’ve played TWO more games than every other team but the A’s but, still . . .

Going in to today’s rubber match w/the White Sox, this was the stat leader board . . .

Yes! YOUR Seattle Mariners were leading in ALL the above offensive categories! (plus doubles and stolen bases – which didn’t show within the screen print) 🙂

And, AFTER today’s game . . .

the homer streak is alive! ELEVEN straight games with a home run!

The Mariners have 27 home runs in their first 11 games, which is the most by an MLB team since the Cardinals hit 29 in 2000. (Though worth noting the Dodgers have 22 in their first 9 games going into tonight's game at Coors Field).

The #Mariners have scored 85 runs in 11 games. The Mariners become the 6th team in the expansion era (1961-c) to score at least 85 runs in the first 11 games of a season (last: 1999 Cleveland Indians, 90 R).

And, the pitching isn’t all that bad – EIGHT wins from starters and SIX saves from relievers (despite our closer being on the IL)

And then there’s the defense . . .

once upon a time, among our strongest suits, now the weakest sauce 😦

Fun fact: The Mariners players (not as a team, but as individuals) currently have the lead for the most errors at LF, 1B, 3B, and SS. They have the top 2 at 3B. @LookoutLanding @USSM_Marc @ProspectInsider
