I don't like trades where the return is entirely dependent on the health of one pitcher's arm. The risk of getting almost no value at all is so much higher than a deal with one or more position players. And when you're already potentially dealing more WAR than you're getting.... (Bedard, cough)

Ferrer was really good & has lots of team control, but dealing a potential league-average bat at catcher for any reliever is sus. AND the M's threw in another pitcher? If this is the deal I will need convincing it was not a mistake.

The Kraken are not sharp. So many sloppy passes, missed pucks in the offensive zone, poor shots...Lucky to be tied.

Wright with the game-winner on a nice move to the net to beat Hofer.

I hope Ohtani getting relentlessly intentionally walked last night triggers the league to do something about the intentional walk. In no other sport can you simply say, "that guy doesn't get to play" like in baseball. It hurts the sport to miss four ABs by one of the greatest players in history.

I was at last night's game and there were a TON of Blue Jays fans. I would not assume that the boos heard after George Springer was hit came from Mariners fans.

I'm getting that Sonics '96 feeling where you know you're looking at facing an all-time great player and team in the finals if you make it. Even so, that was a great series and you never know what can happen. Might as well go win the whole fuckin' thing.

Today on Volts: In a big blue city, a progressive up-and-comer is challenging an establishment Democrat to be mayor, having already scored a surprise win in the primary. Naturally I'm talking about Seattle's Katie Wilson! We talk housing, transit, public order, the threat of Trump, & much more.
Seattle mayoral candidate Katie Wilson on governing a blue city in 2025

We just watched a team score before their first out of the game, then get shut out for nine. Need to add on.

This is about how I felt watching the game. Additon wasn't accurate or consistent and he was hurting the M's more.

The Mariners pitching did get lucky on a lot of hard-hit balls tonight. Miller's FIP was 5.80. And just watching the game there were a lot of "Oh no.....WHEW" moments so it meets the eye test for me.
Nevertheless the win is in the books. The M's are three wins from the World Series holy craaaap.

Incredible win. I honestly thought they would need at least six runs with Miller on short rest. They needed two.

Cal's Dinger and Julio's walk chasing Gausman is huge. Honestly thought he might go eight.

Miller spotted the Jay's a run and still threw four innings of one run ball.

That Kraken game would've stressed me out a lot more, but after all these high-stakes Mariners games I rode it out like a champ. Amazing finish.
