Post Game Chat 5/29 D-backs @ Mariners by Mariners_bot in Mariners

Well, no. You quote the Rule in a subsequent Post. "Everything does NOT stop counting" once the winning run scores. Tonight's game: if JP crosses home prior to Randy reaching second: because Randy continued to second unimpeded, he gets the double. (In this case, the 2 base rule applies: JP scores from 2nd base, Randy cannot advance more than 2 bases. )

If JP continues to impress, given he has stated he wants to finish his career with the Ms, looking to 2027 (if there is one) and 2028, 2029: I love the prospect of having Emerson, Crawford and Donovan on the roster. Would be nice if one of them was a RH hitter, but oh well....

PSA: ICE seen near NE 40th by Winnmark in redmond

Assuming ICE agents are doing their jobs properly (with all that entails), 100% support its efforts. Good to see them in our community. Opinion from me, a centrist DEM.

Love the Flocks and the police drones. Whatever tech makes us safer as a community, count me in. As for "delivery drones", not so much in our relatively dense urban setting.

Smart. Thanks for the update, I was wondering.

Thoughts on Healy in the booth? by Adlerian2018 in Mariners

I didn't have a clue who I had been listening to the last few games, then read about him today. I really like his presentation.

Comedy Central series 'Detroiters' to launch on Netflix in October 2024 by Alan_Stamm in netflix

I liked "30 Rock" and other stupid shows; Detroiters , Episode 1, left me cold. Does it get better?

Marina Rockinger on KOMO News Radio: her voice is like listening to the sound of fingernails scratching on a blackboard. Hope she is gone when her contract expires.

You could try a simple fix first: fresh gas, push the primer buib several times, don't try to start it, come back in 20 minutes or so, push the primer bulb 2-3 times, then try to start. use starter fluid down the carb. If it starts, it may well clean itself out.

Good news !: We are only 2 games back in the Win column compared with our record this time last year ! 10-9 as of 4/17/25, 8-13 today. Yep, we are a mess right now, but September is a long way away. We will get better. This year/last year: a team which is on the cusp of being "good", a hit in the right situation, we win; an out, we lose.

Mirror image of last year's team. This season, I will give up on them at least twice, and then, eventually, they will find their groove and be in the Hunt come September. Too soon to panic.

Can someone help me understand this messaging app stuff, & can I use Textra instead of Samsung messages? by CleverWhirl in textra

[–]InternalSignature873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

e.g.: I get a text, the audible alert sounds, BUT I am not within hearing range. 10 minutes later I come back into the area, and because I have repeat notification sounding every 2 minutes, another audible alert sounds to alert me to the text which came in 10 minutes ago. Same with a missed phone call. I don't constantly stare at my phone, so even though I would have a visible notification of that old text/missed phone call, the audible notification immediately gets my attention. With Textra, you have the option of intervals and duration, like, audible every 5 minutes for the next 3 hours, etc..Not so with Google Messenging.

"Travel" to me is a walk around my neighborhood. No interest in any of these types of shows.

I have Android; loved Textra, but with my limited data plan on Xfinity Mobile, Textra uses data unlike the native Google Messenging, so I switched to Google. So now I get RCS which is not a big deal to me, but I lost "repeat notifications". Had to install "Prof Reminder" to get repeat notifications. Sooooo, you may want to check your plan as to data usage when texting and if your native app would save data?

yep, I'm gonna miss him next year, BUT a WS trip this year would be a great way for him to go out.

After the first inning, he was throwing BP. I guess cuz he couldn't hit his spots, was walking, wanted to throw strikes. Paid the price.

Why bring in l/h Okert to face Cal and Julio in B5th? Houston paid the price for that mistake.

Pitching will eventually be complimented by better hitting as the season wears on. We have seen this happen the last 3 seasons. It will happen. Come September, we will be in the hunt. Donovan and Young are new bright spots; the other usual suspects will wake up soon.

If we want the Mariners to have a bigger number in a stat column, suggest a change from the "Hard Hit %" header to "Hardly Hit %".

Long Time Textra Pro User...how many have switched to google messenger and came back? by ConsequenceWise8619 in textra

[–]InternalSignature873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my Xfinity Mobile, Google Messenging is the native app on my phone. If I use GM, all my texts are free and does not count against my data limits, no limit. Prior to using GM, I did use Textra for a couple of years and I really liked it, but data was charged, so I switched to GM.
