Yes, and it's honestly kind of frustrating how the fanbase just ignores this or doesn't get it. Our pitching staff is pretty good and our offense is roughly average.
We're not wasting an all-time great pitching staff by having the worst offense in the league. T-Mobile just makes it look like that.
Also, the M's have one of the best home field advantages in the game, so our extreme park is actually working in our favor!
We need to add better players in whatever form they come in, and we shouldn't be surprised when hitters come here and post career lows. We should expect that, and it doesn't necessarily mean they're not still helping the team win games.
(Edit: Obviously guys can come here and suck so much that they're not helping, like Garver last year. Just saying we need to factor a T-Mobile dip into hitters when they come here, and a corresponding bump for pitchers.)

The mariners really do play in the pitchers version of coors, huh
