What is the story about?
The
Mariners continue to maintain a comfortable, arms length distance away from .500 after a miserable loss in Kansas City last yesterday. The gang will try for a series win this morning at 11:10 am PST.
In Mariners news…
- J.P. Crawford and the Mariners took a little time out of their trip to Kansas City to gift a Steelheads jersey to Bob Kendrick and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
Around the league…
- Astros superstar Yordan Álvarez was removed from yesterday’s game in the middle of his sixth inning at-bat with spasms in his always troublesome back.
- The Los Angeles Angels have found their ace of the future!
- Chris Taylor said SIKE!
- Craig Breslow and the Boston Red Sox have already begun shopping around in search of bats to fill the Rafael Devers shaped hole in their lineup that’s led them to being one of the worst offenses in the league so far in 2026.
- Life imitates art.
- Joey Votto went on Jayson Stark’s podcast Rates and Barrels to talk about his life in retirement, and what a life it is! In the less than three years since calling it a career, Votto has spent significant time in Japan, Spain, Ireland, Egypt, and Jordan, and that’s not even to get into some of what he’s done in those places. Truly living the “this is what it’s all about” lifestyle.
Nick’s pick…
- John Travolta doing the laziest RTJ hand sign we’ve maybe ever seen is my new Roman empire. I’m literally incapable of elaborating beyond that.
- Oh, Grizz. I’ll miss you most of all.
