Also, Randy Arozarena had himself quite the day.
He's the seventh player in Major League Baseball history to hit a leadoff home run and then a walk-off home run in the same game.
He also robbed a home run in the third inning of a game over the weekend.
Arozarena, not one of the reasons the Mariners are not making the postseason.
He's done sort of his job, Tom.
He's exactly who you think he's gonna be at the end of his, the season.
His stats are gonna be very close to what he usually is, and he's a fun, exciting player, and, and he's actually perfect for what the Mariners do.
It's just the rest of their offense, that's been the issue.
Yeah, we always get these oddities of baseball.
You know, we saw it with PCA.
He's hit- he's hitting a home run one day.
He's leading off the home run the next day.
These are all super fun things.
And, you know, for the Mariners, it's great to have a player like this in the lineup.
Where's more of them, right?
You need, you need three more of these guys in the lineup to truly be an offensive threat.

Like, the production that we get from the Mariners' lineup is far below, what anything, and anyone anticipated.
