SEATTLE — Over the course of baseball’s 162-game season, a game in which nothing seems to go right — whether it’s on the mound, in the batter’s box, in the field or some combination of all three — is going to happen. It’s unavoidable over that many games.
Managers have an assortment of labels for these forgettable performances. “Clunker” is a favorite of manager Scott Servais.
And while such lackluster performances are expected if not willingly accepted, it just looks and feels a little worse when one comes in the second game of the season.
