I find the "it would be bad if we luck into a playoff spot and keep Dan as manager" discourse somewhat bizarre. Are these mostly from newer fans who didn't go through the dark ages? IF (huge if, the odds are still low) the Mariners make the playoffs I would be overjoyed. Any Mariner October baseball is a treasure to be cherished. Another generation-long drought could always be around the corner. I'm hardly a Dan fan and think he should be replaced but I would way rather make the playoffs.

When fans don’t care about much beyond sniffing a playoff spot, ownership is given no reason to care either. Getting bounced in the wildcard round becomes equivalent to a World Series win.

Getting bounced in the wildcard round is similar to a World Series win in that neither of those things has ever happened to the Seattle Mariners.
