With all that insanity last night I completely forgot there was a Huskies game. Bonus win! That I didn’t experience, and therefore stress about, at all!

I did spare a moment in my joy to think that a series like that requires two teams playing their hearts out and that Detroit’s fans had the exact same experience as I did until the last second

Looking at your profile picture and you really should have said pancakes

Hard disagree

At least five months until I’m forced to watch George Kirby pitch to Kerry Carpenter again

They definitely want payback for the game where we won when Bichette and Springer collided. Also Seattle, not Toronto, is the northernmost franchise

Five hours of anxiety spontaneously combusting into joy is a heady feeling

We should thank Lenny Randle every day for breathing the Mariners’ identity into existence in that moment

I hope you and they will remember it forever and every few years you can reminisce about it

Steve Hasegawa @stevehasegawa.bsky.social · 21h

Love it!

I can’t even celebrate. I feel like a soldier wandering Gettysburg as the gunsmoke clears

They saved it for this

Oh my god… Humpy just earned a win in the Mariners Salmon Run.

You can eat your shoes like the Donner Party did for starters

These are the teams whose games MLB showed at noon on weekdays because they needed to show the Yankees lose by 8 in prime time

Really all I ask of you is that when I die of anxiety you tell my wife and children that I loved them

Wouldn’t even want that. I want the team with a guy who got down on all fours to blow a ball foul

And for some reason I think there is a rule that Yordan Alvarez and Kerry Carpenter get to bat every inning

Steve Hasegawa @stevehasegawa.bsky.social · 22h

I want people who are not Mariners fans to know that they’re all like this. For the last 5 years we have been within a game of the playoffs 162 games a year and every game is 11 innings and then if we make the playoffs we lose a game where we held them scoreless for 17 innings

Everybody is so made at Pierczynzki for bunt-love but nobody said anything when he was demanding fastballs even though Mariners were destroying Tigers with sliders

All of these people joking about bunting as if my life isn’t contingent on the outcome of this game

We have a veteran dog

Me. I died already during the bunt sequence

The funny thing is that we all knew he would have been star-adjacent if he played in NY (and maybe didn’t have glasses) but then he played in NY and missed his star-adjacent period. But also he didn’t care—hated the limelight

Joey Cora looks like a guy who looks vaguely like Joey Cora’s grandpa

Phelps was a wildly underrated hitter who just happened to hit his decline the moment the Yankees traded for him
