@doug_s35 @nut_history The right answer.

@nut_history Ichiro

Alright. Rickey Henderson is at third base. One out. Tie game. Bottom of the 9th. You’re the fielding team. DEEP fly ball to right field. Who do you want as your right fielder?

@jwhittenbergK5 I don’t think that Dan has the balls to be the contrarian to Jerry. Until that happens we’ll consistently end up seeing Connor Joe, Mitch Garver and Rob Refsnyder in high leverage at bats late in games. At least we’ve move on from Rivas. More work to do with the roster.

How do you feel today Mariners fans?

Hey @Mariners an inning or two of Buhner is fine once a year, but three straight games is intolerable. Jay and Dave talk so much about the past, they’re missing today’s game. Please make the stories stop. Bring back @RyonHealy25

The Jay Buhner/Dave Valle color combo makes my ears bleed. An empty chair is better than either of them alone. Together they’re intolerable.

@NotTyFrance @MarinerMenace It’s like sitting next to the chatty and overly confident guy on the plane how only wants to talk about himself. I’m annoyed at every anecdote.

@MarinerMenace I do not enjoy Buhner in the booth at all

Jay Buhner does all of the same things that people complain about Angie doing, and everyone loves him for it.

@RyonHealy25 you’re killing it in the booth. Great insight with a bit of humor. But…the hand is NOT part of the bat. On a non-swing, if the pitch hits the hand it is officially a HBP. Different story if determined to be a swing attempt.

@TridentTrue 100%. Pulling hyphen into the convo throughout the game feels like buddy’s watching a game together.

I’m so in on Ryon Healy in the booth, he’s done a fantastic job this series.

@TridentTrue 10 out of 10. Best color guy since Blowers.

Am I tripping or is Ryon Healy crushing it in the booth right now?

@Mariners I’ll chip in on a seat heater if @RyonHealy25 can do color every night!

@RyanDivish Ryan, have you ever come across data showing that the right-left match up metrics match a pinch hitter vs a starter? It feels like sticking with a guy who’s in a groove with lots of ABs outperforms a hitter off the bench who hasnt seen much live MLB pitching.

Asked about it postgame, Dan Wilson acknowledged it was based on matchups and Joe had solid ABs all spring.

@DanClarkSports Players play. Umps ump. As a coach, I tell my athletes to let them do their job. THAT is what makes sports fair. What about check swings and bang-bang plays at first? Maybe they should add “ask the player” as part of a challenge system. Insanity.

This is a freaking disgrace and needs to be called out! After reading Rule 5.09(a)(1), I do not believe TJ Friedl caught this ball. If a player drops the ball upon falling, it is not a catch. What's worse, he would have known he dropped it, yet chose not to make that clear...

@NotTyFrance Dave Valle is the Pace Picante of color analysts. Tolerable but mediocre. C+ maybe B- on his best day.

Two words: Dave Valle

@LO_Mariners @TyDaneGonzalez Who is this coach next to Bone and why is he drinking a dugout beer midgame (Sunday)?

Mailbag tomorrow. Drop us your #Mariners questions below!

Is that a dugout beer being consumed by a Mariners coach in the top of 3rd? I mean, it has been a rocky start to the season. @Mariners

@TridentTrue I think this is a bad read. Dave does not articulate the nuances of the game very well. That, or he’s cognitively playing checkers while Aaron plays chess. I prefer Hyphens insights and confidence. I really miss Blowers. Valle is not the answer.

Doesn’t it seem like Goldy enjoys the hell out of nights calling games with Dave Valle? He elevates his game too imo

@dcinvestor Multiple possible causes. The first thing I’d recommend is a trial of wearing a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Good data leads to good decisions. If monitoring is normal, we can talk about an appropriate lab panel. I’d avoid changes to diet, supplements or training for now.

dealing with a thing where whenever i train fairly hard on a given day (1 hour fairly high intensity weightlifting with average heart rate at 120+), even when i do it at like 1 or 2 PM, i get pretty tired by 10 PM and crash hard. that part is OK the problem is i find myself awake by 3-4 AM and often can't get back to sleep. my body feels sore and i'm a bit jittery with a brain which doesn't want to turn off this happens about half the time, and i feel more worn out the next day and feel like i'm not recovering as well as i should be. i try to nap it off, but often don't have time for that what am i doing wrong?

@AngieMentink Extend the man!

😳

@JarrettMentink During an Ultimate Fan night 6 years ago, Angie let my 12 yo daughter “interview” her for a school assignment. Angie was incredibly kind and generous. That 12yo is applying for college and wants to go into sports broadcasting because of Angie’s example. I’ll always cheer her on.

Wife’s new role in her 29th season covering the M’s has reinforced my views on the awful isms in this 🌎. As for sexism, what is it- Inadequacy, insecurity, self-loathing? One thing’s clear, the normalcy is repugnant. We’re at the 2 mile mark of the Ism marathon— long way to go!

@hyphen18 @thetopsteptv @ROOTSPORTS_NW Which Ms prospects are the most likely to be called up and make an impact the second half of the season? Is it Montes? Maybe Ford? Locklear?

Recording a @thetopsteptv show tonight. What questions do you l have for the 2nd half of the #Mariners season? I will answer them on the show. Show will air Friday on @ROOTSPORTS_NW Make sure you leave your name with the question for the shout out!

@SamiOnTap $22M for Tellez, Haniger and Leody. I agree that there is a money issue but Jerry has struck out when allocating the little resources he does have.

Let’s never forget Rowdy Tellez was one of the Mariners “offseason moves” to help this team “win” Mariners NEVER get an offseason done right. We truly need new ownership as fast as possible. I don’t blame Dipoto, it’s a money issue. This ownership group is awful. We need to spend to win.
