Mariners 1 Blue Jays 8 Today’s game was soooo much more fun than yesterday’s. First, Dylan Cease was excellent—six innings, just four hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. The run against was a home run by the second batter of the day. We were a little worried for a moment. But just a moment. He […]

Just be a better game than yesterday’s game. It is a simple ask. Admittedly, it would be hard to be worse. The season has me thinking about the value of hitting coaches.

The game got started early today— much to the relief of us East Coasters— and so did the Phillies—much to the relief of all of us. Kyle Schwarber doubled to begin the game, and Bryce Harper ensured he wouldn’t have to wait around on base for long, scoring the both of them with a gopher […]
