Mariners face baseball's most grueling travel schedule | Big League Stew - Yahoo Sports

The Seattle Mariners biggest disadvantage won't come on the field this season. As is frequently the case, it will come at about 35,000 feet in the air, as they are once again faced with baseball's most grueling travel schedule.

According to Baseball Savant, the Mariners are currently scheduled to travel 43,281 miles during the 2015 regular season, which is 2,514 miles more than the next closest team, the Oakland A's. Of course, those numbers are subject to change based on Mother Nature's cooperation, but there's no chance it'll end up lower.

It's because they are in the furthest corner of the country would be my guess.

Most isolated team is a better way to put it.

No question.

In unrelated news, there are more ocean-front homes in California than in Utah for the 500th consecutive year. The Utah governor has ordered an investigation into this clear miscarriage of justice.

- thread was started by a non m's fan
- links to an article written by somebody not affiliated with the m's
- article states the fact that the m's travel more than other teams
- zero m's fans or fans of any other team have made excuses of any kind in the thread

Grow up, kid.

Is Lex Luthor the governor of Utah?

No one was using this as an excuse. I was just posting this because it was interesting. I haven't heard one single Mariners fan using this as an excuse either.
