A lot of anti-labor responses to this, but it is not Alonso's job to give out realistic contract expectations. He's anchoring before teams have a chance to.

Pete Alonso Expected To Seek Seven-Year Deal In Free Agency

First baseman Pete Alonso is ticketed for a second consecutive trip through free agency, as he told reporters when the regular season came to a close that he intends to opt out of the final year of his contract and return to the open market. He won’t officially become a free agent until five days…

Here's my recap of Mariners/Tigers Game 5. Somehow this is the image that is sticking with me the most.

The Mariner Moose lifts Humpy the Salmon up in celebration after Humpy won the Salmon Run for the first time ever. Mariners fans can be seen going wild in the background.

This bollard was knocked down before & reinstated less than a year ago. Either drivers so incompetent that they can't stay off the pavement or doing it on purpose so they can drive on the pavement to the car park. Meanwhile I get a load of earache about cyclist entitlement & the cost of bike lanes.

Black bollard that has been crashed into and uprooted from pavement, bollard and loose broken paving stones lying on pavement. Former pub behind.

This is part of why I like the regular season extra runner because .. in theory, extra inning games that go on very long sounds fun, but in practice, they all just start to look like *this.*

Can’t lose if you don’t field a pitcher in the 13th 😎

If you insist on ending tie games earlier the following are all better ideas than the free runner on second:

- ending game in tie after 12
- runners left on base return for next inning
- teams have to pull a fielder every inning after 10 or 12

Here’s the thing with sports: when you’re in the high-pressure playoff spaces, it might feel like hell. But that’s the greatest thing about sports fandom: you get to feel it. You get to live and die. Feel it, live it, embrace it. You might never forget it, and how many things are like that?
