Just a friendly reminder that "Edgar: An Autobiography" is out June 11 and can be pre-ordered on Amazon. Hmm, Father's Day is coming.... amazon.com/Edgar-Autobiog…

When I see Martin Perez, I still think of Brad Miller breaking his forearm with a vicious line drive in a spring game between the Rangers and Mariners in Surprise, Ariz. in 2013. I wonder if he holds a grudge.

@Akermaniac Sorry, haha.

All things considered -- the way the team had been going, the way the game had been going, the quality of opponent -- I'm going to call that the win of the year for the #Mariners.

@Akermaniac Mainly because he's been in the league since 2017 so that joke has been played out for nearly a decade

@StoneLarry The best part of the game was that it came at the expense of A Bummer. How did nobody mention this? Seems ripe for Twitter jokes

Eduard Bazardo has been quietly and consistently outstanding this season

@stonejordan07 @RyanDivish My sources tell me this wasn’t Ryan’s only spill that day. Bad cups at Target Field, I guess.

A really touching tribute from @RyanDivish to his former colleague on Monday at Target Field. Just like @StoneLarry, he even tried to blame it on the cup.

@stonejordan07 @RyanDivish I AM touched. But it was always the cup’s fault.

Baseball’s best second baseman? Mariners’ Cole Young makes his case. seattletimes.com/sports/mariner…

@_mcameron44 Well said, Cammy

Hey, the Mariners are currently a playoff team (by a percentage point). Technically tied for the second and third wild-card with Cleveland (both .484) and Baltimore (,483).

A single away from a cycle this inning #Mariners

I understand that the disparity is due to the different way they evaluate defense. It's just notable to me that such a key tool used to determine value can be so divergent

Cole Young is 9th in MLB in Baseball Ref WAR (1.7) and 99th in MLB in FanGraphs WAR (0.7). Weird.

@MarinersF4n You get me

@StoneLarry I’m just glad I’m not the only one out there ripping jokes that appeal to an audience of one. That’s true self love.

The Cardinals have Urias batting 8th because they believe in the separation of Church and Scott

@wshays Except he had 79 plate appearances for the Red Sox

@StoneLarry One plate appearance, like Archibald "Moonlight" Graham? 😉

I wonder if Pozo is any relation to former Mariner (one AB in 1995) Arquimedez Pozo

@rddawg14 No. Traded to Boston for Jeff Manto

@StoneLarry Wasn’t he part of the Cruz Jr trade ?

Three high-quality wins for the Mariners in St. Louis
