A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

Man, got a little emotional tonight, had to go to an event at Talmage’s school and one of the families I’d been buying groceries for during the ICE occupation was there. It was wonderful seeing them all feeling comfortable enough to be back and participating in the school community.

Shout out to all the guys with charts who told me there was no way we were undercounting while I watched nursing homes and hospitals refuse to test and send my friends’ elderly relatives home to die of “respiratory illness” to keep their official numbers down.

last night was history in many ways, but also a huge win for women in baseabll.

Just a reminder as we head into the MLB season, if you want to tell a woman she knows a lot about baseball, you can just say, “Wow, you know a lot about baseball!” No need to qualify it or make it weird by adding “for a woman” at the end!

Gas prices are crazy. You should invest in a solar powered lawn mower.

Hello Greater Seattle Area. It is my solemn duty to alert you that Fishwife is currently 30% off at Town & Country Markets.

#WPBL team names are expected to be announced this spring

Good Vibes Only. Eugenio Suárez wore these batting gloves, now en route to the Hall of Fame, when he gripped and ripped the game-winning double for Team Venezuela.

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family: Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider? And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!?  So we got to work …

Mariners bullpen catcher Justin Novak getting after it in Kirby’s BP. Brings the energy -and here sound effects- in everything he does. The guys love working with him.

Turns out it didn't have legs

There has literally been a trade war for **an entire year** brought on by punishing tariffs across a wide variety of goods and threats to turn the entire country into the 51st state, resulting in an extended national boycott of Canadians canceling travel, avoiding US alcohol and other goods.

"Venezuela -- you guys know what is going on. I can't hide it. It's a beautiful country. I know Venezuelan people are singing everywhere right now, and I know they're happy right now. So this will mean a lot for us." - Salvy on MLB Tonight

I asked Maikel Garcia what this win means for Venezuelans, both in Venezuela and the diaspora. Garcia: "God just gives it to us because our country is ... they need this. a lot of Venezuelans [aren't] out of Venezuela and they need this."

Okay hear me out What if players who were on the reigning WBC winning team could wear a lil thingie - a lil WBC logo patch or something above the jersey sleeve advertisement - on their uniforms during the regular season I think it would be fun

Spanish call of final out of WBC

This is, quite literally, what it’s all about. These brothers behind me burst into tears at that final out and just stood there hugging each other and crying. There is more pure collective joy in this building right now than maybe any place on earth at this moment. Baseball forever.
