One time in college a guy in my dorm stopped me and was like, You look like you play baseball. And I replied, I did, yes. And he was like, want to go throw, I need to throw. And we went out to throw for an hour and that was the only time I ever hung out with that guy.
There should be an app for dudes who just want to play catch. Nothing serious. No commitment. Just like, idk. Let’s go toss a ball around.

If you are new to Seattle, here are some things you need to know:
1. No, the roads will not be clear tomorrow. It’s in God’s hands now.
2. If you try to drive on them, it probably won’t go well. Your struggles will be caught on camera by TV news and then what. Embarrassment.

The Seahawks with Russell Wilson, Julio Jones, DK Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett would be the most dangerous offense ever to run the ball 65% of the time
The Falcons continue to field calls from teams interested in trading for Julio Jones. The Seahawks have had discussions about a possible trade with Atlanta, per sources. In fact, QB Russell Wilson & Julio Jones have spoken to discuss the possibility of playing together.

Also, an important factor here: We were on the same page as far as level of throwing goes. We both wanted to stretch it out and long toss and ended up really airing it out. You have to have that mutual alignment for a really good toss.

So Max Scherzer beat the ceremonial first pitch thrower to the mound tonight and wouldn’t let him throw it. It was the Japanese ambassador to the U.S. who got embarrassed as a result. On Japanese Heritage Night, no less. The universe rewarded the Mets with a loss.

I know a lot of people haven’t seen it before. It’s been 21 years, so it’s completely understandable. But when the Mariners are good, it’s the most fun Seattle sports scene. It’s different than the Seahawks, different than any other sport. It’s for everyone, it’s great.

Before that insane top of the 8th inning, they showed a guy with a shoe on his head on the jumbotron at the Mariners’ T-Mobile Park watch party. By the end of the inning, the entire place was chanting “Rally Shoe.” So that is very much a thing now. Don’t question what works.

I'm not sure if even the Mariners can bounce back from something like that. But if they're going to, it starts with finding a reason to put Robbie Ray on the IL and swap him out for pretty much anyone else, because he can't pitch again in this series after that.

Every critique of Russell Wilson in recent years - can’t run like he used to, not taking what the defense gives him, slow to get rid of the ball, questionable (to put it nicely) teammate - has gone out the window with Geno Smith. Geno is everything everyone wanted Russ to be.
