The atmosphere was terrific. Mariner fans polite and fun to interact with.

Ballpark is top notch. Between inning entertainment excellent.

We have already booked our accommodations for next year to do it all again!

If you would have asked me that it would be the Manoah start that got us our only win of the series. I would have laughed you off. But there you go...

did you get caught in any of the Taylor Swift madness next door?

I see the Dodgers' probable starter has a 6.40 ERA, so I guess he can expect that number to come down tonight

Career high of 8+ strikeouts coming up.

[KelVarnsen]

Half of which will be Varsho

[Kidder]

I believe it was stated Bichette is in his longest drought of his career currently.

0 for his last 17?

That’s Edmonton level of no good.

Also shows how consistent he's been. Most players mughts do that a few times a season

I lol'd hard at this.

Varsho hasn’t had an extra base hit since June 28th, and some of his hits are bunt singles. Truly staggering levels of futility for an every day player.

Schneider must have heard you because Bo isn't in the lineup at all tonight, I think that's only his third game off this season. Espinal at SS.

[flamingred89]

I did a ####ing crazy thing tonight and put Varsho in my fantasy lineup. He's my whipping boy lately and an absolute turd at the plate. So surely he's due to go 2-4 with a SB or something...

[KelVarnsen]

I hate the phrase “start to the year” when someone says it in July

3 in the first inning so far

A couple of games ago, Bo was flexing his hand after swinging. I wonder if there might be something minor going on there. He hasn’t had good results since then.

Just some speculation.

Is Varsho the new JP Arencibia?

Only 2 in the 2nd inning. Progress!

I remember the name but I’ll need this explained.

Reference Sidebar, I always thought of Frank Catalanotto as the Conroy of the Blue Jays.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Outman is an unfortunate name for a baseball player who isn’t a pitcher. Varsho might be earning a last name change.

[flamingred89]

Nice job by Berrios to wiggle out of walking the 9 guy.

Surely the Jays can do something against a guy with a 6.5 Era...

[Kidder]

Dan Shulman is just the best announcer.

Enjoyed that little anecdote about Freddie Freeman.

I bet Will Smith is a slap hitter.
