A nice Mariners post-mortem from @95coffeespoons.bsky.social www.thestranger.com/sports/the-i...

I know John Smoltz doesn't watch or make any effort to learn about the modern sport of baseball, but every so often "I know he hasn't had a lot of at-bats, but I think they give him the green light 3-0" about *Rowdy Tellez* still managed to get to me.

John Smoltz *praising* Mookie Betts for NOT challenging strike three, that should have been ball four (followed by a Shohei single) and I'm begging this network to hire literally any of the hundreds of more qualified color commentators out there.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”
LHP Ray Kerr starting a winner-take-all playoff game tonight means two 2021 Tacoma Rainiers (along w/Taylor Trammell) will have started playoff games in 2026. Matt Festa awaits in the ALDS. Just two of their 2021 teammates started games for Seattle: Cal Raleigh & Logan Gilbert, plus Andrés Muñoz.
