If the Mariners lose tonight they should pump Centerfield on repeat until the last person leaves the stadium. Play it all weekend, loud enough that people hear it as they walk their dogs. Keep it going all through the winter

The Seattle Mariners and their fans have died many, many times. We are still here. Let's win the damn game. open.substack.com/pub/thelight...

New episode of Five & Dive is up in time for the Game 5s. @cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com, @jeffreypaternostro.bsky.social and I broke down all the division series action, from tragic to dumb (this is the official gamut of baseball).

Five & Dive, Episode 498: Nathan Lukes For You | Baseball Prospectus

Craig, Patrick, and Jeffrey catch up on the NLDS series, look ahead to what's next for eliminated teams and what we learned about those advancing. They also play a game.

To put it another way: A subscription to BP costs a dollar more per month than the amount Apple+ and Disney+ *increased* their monthly rates in October. It's ridiculously cheap and you get to support great independent baseball writing. Give it a shot.

This one is for subscribers, which I know will limit its reach. If that's the case for you, I'd suggest you consider subscribing to BP; it's only four bucks a month for an annual subscription, which is basically the same price as Howdy, the service that lets you watch Ski School without ads

After weeks of internalizing and suffering, I tried to examine why exactly the Google Cloud with AI ads were upsetting me so much. I think it's a good one.

I really appreciate that. And I'm very happy for Clement - after all, they can't be three-run homers unless they have guys on base when they happen.

My latest for @baseballprospectus.com is on the team presidents of the Red Sox and Dodgers giving public support toward the idea of centralized broadcast revenue and TV rights. Which puts Rob Manfred in a better position for his revenue-sharing plan than Bud Selig was at the start of his own.

Revenue-sharing was once a controversial concept. Now, it could be transformed and expanded.

I just asked my son what baseball positions he knew. His answer: "left base, right base, batter, umpire." It warmed my heart. In an alternate universe he could have become a Mariners fan
