It’s rally ferry time

Rookie move by me that, when considering all the annoying things about ABS this year, I failed to factor in how catastrophically obnoxious the “why aren’t you tapping your helmet you moron” discourses would be

In the last few years, I started reading this each Opening Day and sending an extra thought of the baseball lovers I’ve lost out into the universe. I’m not particularly religious, but it’s a way to feel like they can still come along on new seasons with us. mason.gmu.edu/~rmatz/giama...

thanks to @95coffeespoons.bsky.social's recap of today's spring training game i learned that mitch garver and d.j. peterson were college teammates and i think i need to go lie down

Bottom of the ninth, two outs, one strike, geopolitically tense World Baseball Classic title on the line. Thank you to the LoanDepot Park organist for giving us "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands" in that exact moment

I’ve never seen more tears after winning a championship. It’s baseball, and it’s fucking everything

On Saturday, I watched my mom become the #1 Emmanuel De Jesus fan. Did that mean she spent most of Monday’s game demanding to know why they weren’t bringing Emmanuel De Jesus in? Yes. Am I now attempting to create from scratch an Emmanuel De Jesus jersey for her? Also yes. The WBC is so great

How to describe the experience of Venezuelan players at a fraught political time in VZ and the US? The Red Sox’ 5 Venezuelan players - Narváez, Abreu, Suarez, Contreras, Monasterio - offered insight into what Abreu called a “double life.” Story for Globe Magazine: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/17/m...

The role they describe in here I think is incredibly valuable. Narrative/storytelling is crucial in decision making. If you can't synthesize and defend your philosophy at a high level in plain language, then you don't understand it. Broad strokes, watercolors, picturing the view from 50K feet, etc.

Omar Lopez with the jokes postgame 😂 Q. Is everyone available in the bullpen? OMAR LOPEZ: Even Johan Santana is going to pitch.

Spanish broadcast: “the only boring team at the tournament has been Team USA” #wbc

An underrated magical part of these WBC games is watching so many people in the crowd FaceTiming their friends and loved ones from back home

Well that’s a heavy-handed way for this game to end

Forget national pride, I am levitating with an unparalleled level of Seattle Mariners pride

We are not talking enough about Albert Pujols in his new glasses

I cover a lot of the mind-numbingly frustrating things about baseball. a lot of the time, it sucks the fun out of watching a game and it's just ... whatever. but goddamn if the World Baseball Classic doesn't remind me why I fell in love with baseball in the first place

There’s no crowd like a WBC crowd (Not pictured: the full (and choreographed!) band playing for Team Japan)

They’re showing a full recap of the 2017 WBC as we’re in a rain delay in San Juan and this must be what it feels like to attend your high school reunion. Talk about formative years/players, phew

Don’t you dare sleep on Team Nicaragua this WBC

Huge shoutout to @meetatthemitt.bsky.social listener Josh for sending us this in response to our most recent pod on the WBC and Mariners Spring Training.

This shouldn’t be novel, but especially after all the crap this week with the men’s hockey team, it’s really meaningful to hear a professional athlete speak this way

If it feels impossible to fathom a Mariners season without Rick Rizzs, you’re not wrong: In Seattle, it’s only ever been Dave or Rizzs. Two of the best to ever do it. For all the team’s foibles, we have been so blessed in this.

If it were written by anyone else, I’d be furious. But based on Boob’s reporting record, Félix Hernández is now basically a lock for the Hall of Fame

Huuuuge Juan Soto in Cancun energy

pretty sure you’re supposed to go to the ER if your organ goes hard for more than four hours

Classic Dodgers, ruining everyone’s fun again

Might be time to start warming up…

They stop selling alcohol in the bottom of the 7th but if you stick around they should start selling other drugs in the bottom of the 14th.

“Man, if you like your walk up song, tonight is your night.” This game has been going on for so long that John Smoltz finally said something that made me laugh

the intentional walks will continue until the Buble stops

Cal Raleigh would still be catching this game

I’m watching the World Series. I’m taking part o the Stanford prison experiment. I’m at the combination World Series/Stanford prison experiment

So did any other Seattle folks shift all of their nervous energy from the Mariners to the upcoming mayoral election, or is it just me? (Relatedly: Actively seeking any TV/movie/general entertainment recommendations)

We’re still in various stages of Seattle Mariners heartbreak and loss here. @95coffeespoons.bsky.social found peace and purpose within a greater loss our community still feels daily. www.lookoutlanding.com/about-last-n...

And when there was even more hope, @95coffeespoons.bsky.social wrote about the moment and what it was doing to our city thttps://www.lookoutlanding.com/about-last-night/136283/seattle-is-a-baseball-town

it's going to be weeks before I'm ready to talk about baseball again, but I want to thank @95coffeespoons.bsky.social for this. It wrecked me, but I needed it. Isabelle, you're one of the good ones. goms forever. www.lookoutlanding.com/about-last-n...

Nobody fails up like a mediocre backup catcher

“my favorite baseball team is doing better than they ever have before“ “that must be wonderful” “It’s the worst thing thats ever happened to me”

There have been so many good pieces written about this run. This is one of my very favorites. Sharing this experience with my M's friends has been magical, but celebrating with strangers, seeing the whole area light up for this team, has been so beautiful too. Thank you @95coffeespoons.bsky.social ❤️
