Doubly weird:
With a 4-3 victory over the Reds on Tuesday, the Mariners' win-loss record from 1995-2019 now stands at, yep, 1,995-2,019.

Eh.... not as special as you would think since they both involve the same periods of time and, because of that, the same number of games. Every team besides the D'backs and Rays (and likewise, a manager who has been in the game during the entirety of that period) has or will participate in their 4.014th game at some point around right now. That two of them have exactly 1,995 wins in those 4,014 games isn't all that weird.... though I'll admit it's neat.

Incidentally, ScrabbleTed had exactly 4,014 posts on the Bored... so that number jumped out at me when I did the math there....

Oh, and 30K. Woo.
