You'd think the local pandering angle here is the Mariners, but it's really drinking beer under a tent in questionable weather. Vote Wilson, she gets it.

Go Mariners! We should all be as smart and courageous as Josh Naylor. #thisisyourcity

I moved here in September 2001 and could immediately tell this was a baseball town, and I loved it for that. I had no idea how long the drought would last after that, but seeing all the M’s fans persevere was inspiring.

The cost of excavating the stations on your map and tunneling off the main line west to Ballard is likely going to be pretty similar to what the cost of the current proposal is to Ballard. Your idea is a fine one but we don’t save $$ by redrawing the map, we have to figure out how to build better.

This is a fine idea. It does nothing to solve the ST3 cost issue. But worth looking at nonetheless

I started the day with news that Gavin Newsom was going to sign SB 79. I’m closing it out with the Mariners winning the ALDS. I gotta say…

I think this is a friendly and fair wager and I hope our BC friend accepts

Is this hell? I thought hell would be a four-way stop in Seattle where no one ever goes, but it turns out it might be a baseball game in Seattle that never ends.

Worth it. Mariners can’t hit a baseball, so trying to steal made sense.

We can probably drive to Mount St. Helens and still get there before this game ends

Mariners just cannot hit a baseball to save their lives

Robert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 3h

Now to see if the Mariners can show plate discipline this inning

Robert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 3h

This is true, they do have a reputation to uphold

Mariners have squandered so many chances tonight

No, they should have been bunting earlier in the game

Robert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 4h

Right?! Especially with the cold Mariners bats, bunting at least gives you more options

Robert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 4h

The way that inning ended, stranding the leadoff double, certainly suggests to me having Crawford bunt - at least for the first few pitches - would have been a better choice

Well and of course the Tigers walk Cal to get to Julio, who has been terrible all series

Mariners plate strategy has been...unusual
