SEATTLE – If this Mariners season ends up taking the same course as the past few have, the club’s playoff hopes will likely be decided in the final week or two. It’s an “every little thing matters” situation – something that doesn’t necessarily apply to MLB titans such as the Yankees or Dodgers.

The question here is: Do you believe the stat geeks?

SEATTLE – On his first Father’s Day as a dad, J.P. Crawford marked the holiday in one of the grandest ways possible.

SEATTLE – I could say don’t panic … but this is blossoming into a disaster.

The guy who made sure the vibes were always good in the Mariners clubhouse sent his former team back to Seattle with a very opposite feeling. The Mariners vibes right now? They’re very bad.

PHOENIX — Now it starts all over.
