A great teammate is often times better than a great player. But most of the time the greatest players are also the best teammates. There is a direct correlation. The closest teams usually win, and have fun doing it.

What an absolutely iconic photo.

@JoeDoyleMiLB I find it fascinating that Dax can generate that much velo with such a short pullback, effectively limiting the strain on his elbow. It looks borderline effortless.

13 freaking strikeouts in just 5 innings of work for Oregon State righty Dax Whitney. Up to 100 mph again tonight. Perhaps the top prospect in the 2027 Draft.

@zuniflip @GB_Baseball @WBCBaseball @MLBNetwork Congrats to Will! We will be watching and rooting for him!

@GB_Baseball @WBCBaseball @MLBNetwork I’ll be watching!…. And I’m glad I live in the US PST time zone! 😂

Great Britain's roster for the 2026 @WBCBaseball will be revealed on @MLBNetwork and MLB.com just after midnight tonight in the UK - 7 PM Eastern time in the US! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Who's staying up to watch??? Let us know in the replies ⬇️ loom.ly/scXZvw4

@BuckyJacobsen It was a great listen this morning! Everyone could hear how genuinely happy and surprised you were. Good stuff.

Can't believe I just met and talked to TERRELL DAVIS! It's all downhill from here.

@BuckyJacobsen Can't argue this take if you actually watch and know baseball. Bucky is right.

For further clarification: I know that Mitch Garver is a respected veteran in the clubhouse, that also knows the pitching staff. I also understand that he wouldn’t be getting the paycheck he didn’t live up to the last couple years. The reason that it’s a hard pass for me is his approach at the plate, and his inability to make, or lack of want to make adjustments to his hitting philosophy. I can’t stand to watch it any longer. He took way too many damage pitches. Garver can go be a good guy that battles for walks somewhere else. PLEASE.

@Courterfield @LatvalaTahvo Personally, I like that you post videos like this with specific examples of how the pitcher is maturing and learning how to perfect his specific delivery. Much better than just showing some kid throwing 93mph balls.

Sophomore Spotlight #4: RHP Tahvo Latvala Tahvo had a very transformative summer and fall, simplifying and finding consistency in his delivery. While he still showed some true flashes of his high potential out of the bullpen his freshman season, he has worked hard to be more steady. He will look to carry over that growth he showed this fall into the spring season for the Bulldogs. @LatvalaTahvo

The Mariners are still in SE Alaska when it comes to the respect of their stars Cal did something never done in baseball, a switch hitting catcher obliterating a record that will never be broken ECB is real East Coast Bias needs to stop Cal is our MVP

@ClayTravis Agree 1 million percent. This has become so silly. And easily foreseen. Cash grab.

Do any of you believe streaming sports today is better than sports on basic cable in 2008? I feel like today is way worse for sports fans than 2008 was. Am I wrong? In 2008 you could watch everything with one remote. Now it feels nearly impossible to find & pay for all the games.

@CoachNellie25 Good to know that Shane Bieber, who is currently pitching in the World Series tonight and throwing 93, would barely make that coach's radar. Learning how to actually pitch and get outs is more important at any level in college than velo - regardless of Division.

From a premier D3 program coach: “We return 11 arms at 90+. To even get on our radar for recruitment right now they gotta be 92 or better.” Velo matters at all levels.

I’m not a parent, but I’ve seen plenty of times when “I’m doing what’s best for my kid” really means “I’ve lost perspective.” Coaches want to win too. If you coddle your kid, he’ll pay for it later in life.

@Softykjr I just hate overthinking pitching decisions. If a guy is dealing - leave him in until he gets hit hard. Very simple. George was getting better as he went. Sad. i

Heartbreak. Sorry guys. Go Mariners

Let a pitcher that is DEALING stay in the game and pitch. It's a very simple concept. @BuckyJacobsen @PuckSports

Springer hit a 1st inning leadoff home run — on the first pitch. Blue Jays went 1-28 the rest of the game. Bryce Miller with a performance made for October. Absolutely incredible win.

@Mitch_Seattle A whole heck of a lot. Like $60M a year a lot Mitch.

Honestly. That f’ing changeup. How many 100’s of millions is that pitch worth?

He’s heeeeere! Cal and our friends at @AlaskaAir wanted to make sure Jameson was in the house for Game 5! #SeizeTheMoment

@BuckyJacobsen I love everything about Naylor. Dude just seems to have it all. Still can't believe he had the presence of mind to tag the runner on that play at 1B the other day before stepping on the bag that quickly. Smart man for sure.

I want Garver to prove me wrong ALL GAME LONG!!

@PuckSports Same bad angle by Randy 2 days in a row. Gotta limit that to a single and it's a different ballgame.

Squeeze one more from Miller??

This is Jameson Turner from Longview who caught Cal Raleigh’s HR. He brought a second shirt in anticipation of the HR! #Mariners

How about the northwest pitching dominance yesterday to start the playoffs. Tarik Skubal (Seattle U), Blake Snell (Shorewood HS), Matt Boyd (Mercer Island/Eastside Catholic). 19.0 / 1.89 ERA / 23 K

Chills for 3 straight hours. Incredible, and so fun to root for great guys that love each other. #Mariners
