So now that it's over, Starfleet Academy season 1 was bad. There was one good episode, one above average episode, two meh episodes, and 6 awful episodes.

Overall better than Discovery/Picard season 1. But still pretttttttty bad.

We'll see if season 2 is any better.

β€œI hate that this is a thing,” Raleigh said. β€œI really don’t think this is a big deal, a big story. It shouldn’t be a thing.”

Amen brother. Amen.

Putting aside that they're clearing fucking with each other, if Raleigh/Arozarena want to be Kent/Bonds, that's totally fine with me.

Ever used mlb.tv? Then it's that. Same app. Only difference is if you pay for mariners.tv on it's own or with the mlb.tv bundle, then now when you click on Mariners games in mlb.tv, you won't get blacked out.

Kinda hilarious that the Brendan Donovan trade got accelerated along finally because Dave Cameron texted Jeff Sullivan to let him know than Ben Williamson was available.

I've basically decided if this isn't available to purchase by my birthday in July, I'm just going to get a birthday present for myself by just building a living room gaming PC and calling it good.

I already just use Bazzite on an old gaming laptop in my living room and it works great in general.

Mariners Were Reluctant To Discuss Cole Young In Ketel Marte Talks Among players who were not traded this offseason, few found themselves in more rumors than Ketel Marte. Arizona general manager Mike Hazen maintained throughout the winter that a trade was unlikely and said last month that talks never got close to a deal. Nevertheless, the D-Backs took calls from various teams who had interest in…

This week's Star Trek Starfleet Academy wasn't bad, but instead it was incredibly boring.

Watched two plate appearances of today's game* and that's enough glorified practice for me. See you in five weeks Mariners.

*Mostly just to make sure mariners.tv worked.

I really really hate agreeing with Arte Moreno, but yeah this is mostly correct I'd say.

Though I'll quibble with the top 5 comment. I bet winning is at least 4th.

Rewatching the FΓ©lix perfecto and I forgot just how early Sims started calling it as such. He was on it by the third.

Star Trek: Into Darkness. The only time I've ever been "that guy" who was yelling things at the screen in the theater. Though thankfully there was maybe 20 people in the theater, including my friend and I.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧡 πŸ‘‡

I didn't realize Chris Bassitt signed a 1 year, $18.5M deal with the Orioles.

Would have loved that for the Mariners. Would have been a perfect finishing move to this off-season to push Bryce Miller into depth role.

The Mariners' 2024 rotation was very good, and the 2025 rotation was indeed hurt. But I think there's a tendency to exaggerate:

1. How good in 2024
2. How hurt in 2025
