thanks!

@AngieMentink It happened in the Nebraska Wichita State baseball game earlier this season also. youtu.be/NMK4LrC8__o?si…

@TMobilePark @Mariners Okay, I did at least find out that all MLB ballparks are doing this as part of some collab / marketing campaign. Still weird, but glad it isn’t specific to this organization, haha.

@TMobilePark @Mariners *googles wtf this means* “Fourth Wing is a new adult fantasy romance novel…” Alrighty then…

The Basgiath War College is coming to the ballpark! Join us on Tuesday, August 25 for an epic Fourth Wing Night. Whether you’re a Rider or a Scribe, we have the perfect mission for you. 🔗 Mariners.com/FourthWing

@saz_theman Welcome!

me hopping on twitter this morning to see what people were talking about after i went to sleep when the mariners were up 6-0

It’s only sexist when people hurl sexist insults about it. Everyone is allowed to criticize performance, but the comments are full of “keep women out of baseball” and calling her all sorts of names generally used for insulting women. Some real gross behavior coming out of some people.

@JulioIsKing44 Saw a post saying it’s sexist, guess she’s allowed to used AI because she had a stroke recently. What happened to if you couldn’t do your job correctly, you found a new one? Completely disrespectful to the thousands of journalists who would die to be in her position.

Get her out of the booth

Tons of people in the comments of every post about her specifically say she doesn’t know baseball, call her a DEI hire, and use some pretty strong language specifically related to her gender. Don’t act like everyone’s criticism is well thought out and rooted in facts. All that said, my vote is to keep Brad and Angie pre/post and give us full time Goldy and Valle. Hyphen can sub in whenever. Buhner as a third on occasion.

Another season, another helping of defending Angie and making it seem like she’s invincible to criticism. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Nobody is calling into question her knowledge of baseball, and it continues to be weird how people interpret criticism of her as such. The criticism stems from the flow of the broadcast, comments made to meet the moment, etc. A few examples: 1. With the Mariners losing by one run against the Rangers on 4/6, Josh Naylor threw a ball into LF which turned an inning-ending DP to men on 1st and 3rd with one out. Angie’s contribution was suggesting that Naylor was probably “smiling” because the runner got in his way of the throw. 2. Countless examples of overanalyzing aspects of the game to where the analysis bleeds into the next pitch, which simply doesn’t allow Goldsmith to call the action because she can’t succinctly provide analysis in the allotted timeframe. There are others of course, but those are two prominent examples. You know what ISN’T a criticism? Her gender. And it’s beyond tiring the lengths weirdos like Jim Moore will go to paint the narrative that anyone who criticizes her is somehow a misogynist freak. In fact, I would bet LOTS of money that the people who regularly criticize her (like myself) would say that they love Angie on the pre and postgame shows. She’s better suited for that. And there’s nothing wrong with that! It’s our opinion. Stop demonizing us for vocalizing it. It’s just fucking weird.

@TridentTrue Willed into existence beautifully by Valle just before the swing.

Julio gets his first of the year ✅

Been trying to think of who Cole Young reminds me of as he approaches the plate, and it finally hit me... it's the "construction worker does Ohtani impression" guy. instagram.com/reel/DFCCdbjJW… #Mariners #TridentsUp

@JomboyMedia It’s the right call. Of course he was thinking like a catcher in that moment and attempting to make it difficult for Stephenson to make the play. Tried his luck and got called on it.

Kurt Suzuki is ejected for the first time as Angels manager, arguing this call that Logan O'Hoppe was out of the baseline running to first

@lovesicknoon Was thinking the same when I first saw it… it’s not like it could get worse, right? Right?? Might’ve been just the shakeup in mojo we needed.

maybe ichiro’s broken bat is actually the curse breaker

We have a malfunction

@marxiners Love Don and Mud so much.

i had an alcoholic beverage and a gyro. i’m watching the padres and the rockies on the padres broadcast which has my second favorite broadcasters in baseball. i’m playing animal crossing on handheld. life is good.

There was never any issue with over face tickets on the platform. It’s always about demand and fastest finger on alerts for high demand tickets. All this does is expose to the site to many more people and likely bots… making the pool of tickets that much more difficult to acquire. People are going to snipe face value tickets and resell them elsewhere. Truly no idea what this is supposed to be solving.

Validating tickets at the source is the only way to keep them at face value. No more above-face or fake receipts. Just verified pricing, real tickets, & direct transfers. This isn’t an acquisition—it’s verification. Learn more: cashortrade.org/about/ticketma…

@CashorTrade There is not a world where I can see this turning out net positive for the community. No matter how the people supporting this try to spin it… partnering with TM can bring nothing but the worst. CoT user and Gold subscriber since day 1, sad to see it go this way.

BREAKING: Ticketmaster partners with face value resale platform CashorTrade, to power verified resale and reduce ticket scalping. A major step towards expanding the face value resale movement. 🔗 cashortra.de/tw-ticketmaster

@Everett44204106 @ChitownNolaWoj @WildMediaOnly Easy to say in hindsight. The book says to double there.

@ChitownNolaWoj @WildMediaOnly Why do you think he lost. He took an extra card in the double down. Again why pull a card if you ca have 18. Like it’s not just an 8

Dawg I would’ve been so sick 😭😭😭

I’m mainly surprised by the amount of people dragging cinnamon raisin bagels. It’s not my go-to order, but they’re pretty good if it’s a good bagel place. That said, it’s not a flavor you just get someone on a whim, and it is unconscionable for a partner of 18 years to not know their partner’s bagel order/preference!

oh good, the “well ACKSHULLY” people have found my bagel discourse take

@KeriTombazian @JomboyMedia This is a toddler throwing a tantrum. Not a baby being shaken. Kid is probably 2-3 years old. I agree it looks kinda bad at face value, but the flailing is being done by the kid himself.

@JomboyMedia That is dangerous. That kid's brain is bouncing inside his skull. That guy is about to get bombarded.

Daniel Susac’s family is celebrating him going three-for-three in his MLB debut except one child who’s having the worst time of his life

Naylor wanted to keep the baseball 😂

@dpwenjoyer LET'S GO! Time for him to turn things around. (didn't lead to much, but so glad he finally got one)

Naylor finally has a hit
