From today for @apnews.com #Royals hold #Mariners to 4 hits for a 4-1 win and 3-game series sweep apnews.com/article/mari...

Emerson Hancock strikes out the side in order. He is up to eight K's through four innings. Game tied 1-1. #Mariners #Royals

I’m back in the press box for @AP today, as the #Mariners take on the #Royals. The Big Unit is also getting his No. 51 retired before the game. This should be a fun night. There does seem to be ice cream in the press box, and Rick Rizzs has a very snappy suit on.

Just got tickets to see Bruce Springsteen this Friday night in Portland, and I have not been this hyped for a show in many years. #Springsteen

The Mariners are the first team since at least 1900 without a single through their first two games of a season BASE BALL 9th team in span with 0 singles in ANY 2-game span, first since 2021 CHC Ty @J_Kirshenbaum for the q!!

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

If you want to listen to the local radio broadcast for this Apple TV game, go to the audio button (the button on the far right that looks like sound waves), and choose which of the three audio options you'd like. Rick Rizzs and Gary Hill are on the call. #Mariners

The Mariners fall to 0-1 since MarinerVision became the world's largest Fire TV (which in true Fire TV fashion was glitching at the end of the game).

22nd consecutive #OpeningDay

We are so back #Mariners #OpeningDay

Rick Rizzs just walked up to the microphone here at the Hatback and the fans absolutely lost their minds. #Mariners

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...

I love that he's not in a private box, or behind a plate, hes just another New Yorker in the crowd enjoying the game. This is how politicians should be, just like everyone else.

Welcome back, baseball. Welcome back. #OpeningDay #Mariners

How can you not be romantic about baseball? Congrats to the Iowa kid.

More like Team BBrazil, amirite? #WBC

The Dumper is going to hit a three-run homer tonight. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. #WBC

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

My dad has the yard all decked out for the #SuperBowl  #Seahawks

In addition to the sheer amount of awful music and bad vibes at this festival, it is insane to describe Sioux Falls, SD, as a “small town.” It is home to almost 200,000 people.

I officially graduated from @WGU today. After more than two years of nightly homework, dozens of essays, three months of student teaching, and a huge amount of hard work, I now have a Master's Degree in Teaching- English Education. Time to celebrate at a local dive bar.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

I’m back on press row for the first time since September, covering tonight’s #Seakraken  (16-14-7) game against Nashville (18-17-4) for @AP. It’s good to be back. Let’s hockey.

From all of us at Puyallup United Methodist Church, Merry Christmas. Especially if you are alone or grieving this season, I wish you a blessed and comforting night.

Having a girlfriend will forever change your #SpotifyWrapped. But Sturgill is in the right place. He’s always number one in my heart.

I still have one more day left in the classroom but after my final eval today, I have officially passed student teaching. I still have a couple of things left to turn in, but I’ve cleared the biggest hurdle in my journey to a Master’s Degree. What a weight off the shoulders.

Kicking off a week of looking at the starting pitchers on the BBWAA ballot, I reckon with Félix Hernández's early flameout, the lack of Hall-bound starters in recent decades, and the reality of decreasing pitcher workloads and career lengths.

One last visit to another of my favorite Seattle bars-the Pike Brewing Taproom near Pike Place Market. I’ve had some fun times in this place, I am sad to see it go. It will definitely be missed, along with Kate’s Pub. I wish my favorite pubs would quit closing.

This is the shit right here. bsky.app/profile/the-...

It was seven years ago today that the #Mariners traded The Big Maple to the #Yankees, and I am stuck wondering- why is time passing so quickly? It feels like maybe two years ago.

I'm sorry for Jason Myers and the Seahawks fans in my life but also I'm not going to pass up the opportunity to bring up one of my favorite answers ever given to a Talk About question.

Not to be a dick, but my newsletter is six years older than Substack. Baseball Prospectus, as a paid product, is 13 years older. Also, "audience-backed media" covers radical concepts like "books," "magazines," and "newspapers." The idea that people shouldn't pay for words is a recent invention.

The #BlueJays failed to end their 32-year #WorldSeries title drought with last night’s loss to the Dodgers. But least Canadians can now turn to hockey, where they have also not won a #StanleyCup in 32 years.

Baseball makes America bigger and the world smaller ❤️

I think that was my favorite overall baseball season of the past 20 years or so. I’m sad it’s over. Can’t wait until next year.

Now that the World Series is over, let’s talk about position player needs for the #Mariners.

This is the sixth straight season in which a Will Smith wins a World Series:   2025: C Will Smith (LAD) 2024: C Will Smith (LAD) 2023: LHP Will Smith (TEX) 2022: LHP Will Smith (HOU) 2021: LHP Will Smith (ATL) 2020: C Will Smith (LAD)

100 days until pitchers and catchers report for #SpringTraining

My latest story for @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social Named the starting QB from Week 1 of his freshman season, Graham-Kapowsin sophomore AJ Tuivaiave has already garnered eight college offers, including from #UW and #Oregon. www.seattletimes.com/sports/high-...

Hoping @megrowler.fangraphs.com saw Eugenio Suarez give Jorge Polanco a little kiss after Julio’s homer. That’s the good stuff. #ALCS

Cal Raleigh hit 2 HR & grand slam on 4️⃣ year anniversary of MLB debut (July 11, 2021). Cal also became seventh player with 38+ HR in team’s first 94 G. The first: Babe Ruth. What else do Cal & Babe have in common? Both made MLB debut on July 11! 🤯 (July 11, 1914). #TheMayerGWS
