this is hilarious

No fastballs today. All sliders and a few changeups. First time ever for Muñoz.

too many dingers, but hancock’s swinging-strike percentage on his four-seamer is >20%. higher than jacob misiorowski’s. bananassssss

one of my closest coworkers, “Ate C”, was forced out of work for three months to take care of her disabled husband, and then was hospitalized for a week herself. she and her family need support please consider sharing this post/gofundme. venmo @ migrantesayo www.gofundme.com/f/bayanihan-...

www.lookoutlanding.com/2025/5/8/244... finally getting around to reading this. i’ve been wondering why hitters struggle to hit in seattle forever, and this is a valiant effort trying to see what about the batter’s eye could be the culprit. great work @swingsandtakes.com

back at lookout landing for a day with a tribute to rick rizzs, perhaps the most underappreciated voice in MLB. it also doubles as a tribute to my dad, who is the best www.lookoutlanding.com/looking-back...

This is exactly the vibe & setting I remember driving home to Puyallup from Kingdome games with my dad. Erstwhile LLer Mikey Ajeto crushed this one, goodbye baseball: www.lookoutlanding.com/looking-back... @lookoutlanding.bsky.social #Mariners #RickRizzs

Always a joy for a familiar face to flex the pen with us. Today, that familiar face is @ajeto.bsky.social, on the most familiar voice in the PNW: Rick Rizzs.

the mariners are after a type right now. this is the second day in a row they’ve acquired a pitcher with a deceptive sinker but mid K-BB% sinkers taken for strikes in the zone, from 2024-2025: - criswell, 96th percentile - dunning, 82nd percentile

love dane dunning. i like this move a lot. i wrote about him in 2022 www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

trauma also, we’re calling bsky posts what now???

www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article... first article of 2026 on edward cabrera, and hopefully many more (but probably not on edward cabrera)

I've been bothering you about signing up for BP before our price increase happens (tomorrow! sign up today!!) but the good news is, I can now also bother you hocking our book! The BP Annual is available to preorder from our distributor, bookshop, amazon, B&N, etc.

i have long said that the white sox will be the ones to unlock jarred kelenic

yall ever think about how evanescence evanescened

still love shane baz

fact

i personally wouldn’t want my team to give cease seven years, but he’ll be good for as long as he can sit 96+

they’re gonna wheel varland out like this by game seven

i wonder why the steelers hadn’t worn these since i was born

miss the playoffs with mike trout, shohei, and vladdy jr

I grew up here, captained football+baseball at Garfield HS, & have lived in 8/9 city council districts. Maybe Bruce Harrell wants the best for people. But his legacy is folding to the wealthy & comfortable. Katie Wilson fights for a Seattle that cares for ALL our neighbors. Plus she’s a good hang!

People’s names are how you can show respect. I make people correct me when I get it wrong. Pronunciation or spelling. It’s important. It’s not hard either.

The world has gotten to know Eduard Bazardo in these playoffs. But the Mariners’ fiery Venezuelan reliever wasn’t always this guy. @ajeto.bsky.social is back to tell you how Seattle found its stopper. www.lookoutlanding.com/mlb-postseas...

back at @lookoutlanding.bsky.social for a day, because eduard bazardo rules. his numbers, pre- and post-change: xERA: 70th to 77th percentile Strike%: 43rd to 92nd K-BB%: 30th to 64th Zone%: 73rd to…👀

They ran the salmon race at the scrimmage and Victor Robles jumped in and won it

A guy on tik tok onside kicks into random things

tomorrow is my birthday, which, as some of you hopefully know by now, is the 53rd anniversary of martial law in the philippines. i’m wanting to raise some money for my org. if we can raise, say, $310 for my 31st birthday, i’ll bring back my podcast for the playoffs. what do yall think? 🙂‍↔️

this man is genuinely insane

this was good @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social

Thanks so much to the Filipino American Civic Employees of Seattle for inviting Katie to speak at their picnic today! We look forward to working more closely together in the future.

thank you katie for supporting the filipino community sa seattle!

i feel that we should figure out how to make julio rodríguez not a career 114 wRC+ hitter in the first half of the season

this is not necessarily what chris is saying but i genuinely believe that analytics has made all of my favorite sports worse

wish crank a hap birth by subscribing to @baseballprospectus.com, where you’ll consume articles from a lot of great writers, and also me like three times a year

As you might guess, while trending up is a good thing, 2% is not enough to fend off a potential price increase. So here I am asking again to help us keep our price an insanely affordable $45.95 for what you get. It's a great time to subscribe with our Midseason 50 out and the deadline coming up.

since his debut, bryan woo ranks: - RV/100: 93rd percentile - xERA: 95th - Strike%: 98th - K-BB%: 72nd - Barrel/PA: 82nd
