Used to write about baseball at USS Mariner (mostly), Baseball Prospectus (rarely), and probably a few places I’ve forgotten. Love music, Seattle sports, cooking.

Well if it isn’t just the best news. @bgawlowski.bsky.social is a gem, Fangraphs is better for having him, and now I can mock him in public again.

Mickey Van de Ven, wow. Defender gets the ball at the top of his own box, casually runs past the entire Copenhagen team and scores it at the other end, unassisted.

Whoooooa. (Ok, you all were like 10 seconds ahead of me, so I saw the reactions as Yamamoto was getting ready to pitch.)

This is a true fact seemingly designed in a lab to get a reaction from Mariner fans. I legitimately hissed like a vampire or a cat or possum. Whatever is sexiest to you, personally, that’s what I did. GOD Paul Assenmacher. I was not prepared to encounter that name today.
Louis Varland has appeared in 13 games this postseason
Only two pitchers have appeared in more in a single postseason:
2017 Brandon Morrow
1997 Paul Assenmacher

Four consecutive intentional walks for tomorrow’s starting pitcher. Who also has multiple home runs tonight. I know we talk all the time about how weird this all is, but maybe not enough? This is peak Bonds at the plate, and he’ll start a World Series game tomorrow.

I just don’t understand how no one has scored. I mean, I get what happened each time, but that it keeps happening is baffling.

Every inning has some absolutely bonkers/absolutely critical assist and tag. Not sure I’ve ever seen a game like this.

Here's my recap of Game 7, or at least, my recap of 15 seconds of Game 7. It can give out from under you at any moment.

Weirdest - maybe grossest - easy Seahawks win I can remember. Bizarre, but also confidence-inspiring?

Nervous enough that vomiting feels like it could happen pretty quickly, but enjoying the game thus far. Love this from Julio/Cal.
