When you used to wrangle Randy Johnson and now these kids all want to have an attitude
The reports from Adam Jude at the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social are that Seattle is engaged still w/the Padres for a reliever, tho if that's Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon, and/or Jeremiah Estrada is variable on cost. I pitched a trade like that last week. www.lookoutlanding.com/seattle-mari...
Enjoyed doing this and seeing the varied outcomes from folks. Thanks for sharing.
Mariners are playing the game that The Show or MVP Baseball start for you if you leave the home screen open and idle for long enough
There’s just the one, tho despite my other camerawork this week, I did not manage to capture my own eyes, ft. @95coffeespoons.bsky.social
With a great deal of appreciation that Cole Young has been the Mariners' best defender, I must nonetheless note
I don’t mean this as a “Gotcha!” but I wrote this for Baseball Prospectus as his defensive assessment pre-‘24 and then pre-‘25. I was surprised how poorly he played 2B last year, but bc he seemed so out of sorts with his footwork and timing. The arm always was his ball and chain
Immediately this riff jolted out of the deepest recesses of my brain: youtu.be/NWlXp2sHbm0?...
Randy is exploring the space with a Mad Max-esque guitar-trident combo.
The Seattle Mariners' statue reveal for Ichiro Suzuki had, well, one of the more inauspicious mishaps imaginable.
I love my day job, its biggest drawback is it’s exceedingly difficult for me and my clients (IDD) to meet without driving to get around more of the city/county. Build the trains, @sound-transit.bsky.social
Seattle has many famous & beloved Venezuelans. Félix Hernández’s hometown of Valencia is as close to the Caracas bombings as Seattle is to Portland. Maracay, origin of active Mariners Leo Rivas & Eduard Bazardo, is closer. Eugenio Suárez was playing for the Leones del Caracas *this time last year*.
I don't know why people act like Shohei Ohtani doesn't have kryptonite. Whoever wins the ALCS just needs to unearth Wade LeBlanc for one last ride.
If you start Monty Python and the Holy Grail right now, it will conclude exactly at when the ALDS Game 3 between the Mariners and Tigers will (hopefully) start.
I just met Russ, who made the Naylor Hammer and brought it for the first time tonight. He plans to upgrade it, we hope with several years to work on it. *So* many good Mariners signs and fan outfits these last few weeks.
Shoutout to this top-tier hater in attendance of the Angels-Astros series over the weekend.
I’ve not seen Sogard and Nick Allen in the same room recently, but Allen is rocking the look this year in Atlanta. images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload...
It’s a great day for a haircut and to run slowly & laboriously. It’s also the best (and FINAL) day to vote on behalf of a better, affordable vision of Seattle we can all be proud of, not *just* those who are comfy in wealth/homes they bought in the 20th century!
And what type of creature is an otter? A sea creature. A Sea creature. And what's another word for a warm-blooded sea creature? A marine mammal, that's right. Marine, aquamarine, a hue of blue-green akin to teal. Teal, which the Mariners call Northwest Green! Steven Kwan will be a Seattle Mariner.
