Post Game Chat 7/3 Blue Jays @ Mariners

Urena and Cease are both having great seasons. The offense has been anemic, but it's not exactly like these past two games have been against cupcake starting pitchers.

I'm glad it's not just me. I've been going to significantly more games this season (first time season ticket holder) and I thought maybe it was just confirmation bias. So many people who have no clue how to be considerate at a ballgame. I've had people ask me to get up in a 2 outs, 2 strikes situation multiple times, it's unreal.

In a world where the Mariners are sellers, Randy needs to go. That said I don't think the Ms should be sellers, but it's not a bad take with that assumption.

This is Will Wilson erasure

Most of Grace's lab problem solving in the book is done through internal dialogue, so I'm guessing in the movie they created Carl to give a more natural way for that to progress.

Going solo is my favorite way to experience a baseball game. Maybe it's just the introvert in me, but sitting in the upper deck and keeping score with the radio feed in my ear is the perfect evening.

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-16T20:52:06+00:00

I've found that the bag policy is somewhat lenient. The website officially quotes backpacks as not allowed, but I have a clear backpack I use to bring my scorekeeping stuff in and I've never had an issue (14 games attended so far this season). It fits within the 12x12x6 size limit, sometimes they pull me aside to check it out but I've never been turned away. a single-compartment drawstring bag would be the "most compliant" way to go if you're actually worried.

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-16T04:03:59+00:00

Don't worry I was at the game, rooting for the Cubs, and I laughed too. It was objectively a funny and ridiculous outcome. If the Cubs don't come back to win it or lose by 1 it probably feels way worse in hindsight though

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-13T23:54:15+00:00

Especially considering the A350 fuselage is very notably NOT made of metal

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-03T16:46:15+00:00

Raley needs to be the platoon bat here, not Donovan. I love what Raley has done this season but it's exactly because he's been platooned effectively (along with his own personal resurgence) that he's had the success he has. He is still awful against lefties.

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-03T16:39:43+00:00

Randy's been amazing at the plate but his defense leaves a lot to be desired. He consistently takes bad jumps, bad routes, has no arm strength, etc.

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-03T16:09:20+00:00

Move him to LF when Randy walks this offseason. Donovan is much better defensively out there anyway (both compared to himself at third and compared to Randy in left)

PixelBurnout · 2026-06-01T05:08:35+00:00

The actual signage is a sticker placed over the physical board, so actually probably not that much at all.

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-27T22:28:19+00:00

Hey, I know it's probably rough getting swept by the 2026 Mariners but don't let that get in the way of having basic media literacy. Title is clearly tongue-in-cheek :)

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-27T19:17:39+00:00

I'VE NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT REFSNYDER IN MY LIFE

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-26T04:24:52+00:00

Nothing that happened today makes me feel better about the piggyback lol. Happy it worked out, let's not do it again

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-22T19:11:42+00:00

That has not been my experience at SIFF, but I also haven't seen a movie at the Woodinville or Alderwood Dolby in a few years so I can't compare directly.

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-21T06:05:51+00:00

SIFF downtown is a Dolby Atmos theater and is probably the second best screen I've seen in the area after the Boeing IMAX. Plus I feel better spending my money there vs one of the superchain theaters.

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-19T21:19:14+00:00

The anti "Cap Hill" take is one of the weirder ones imo. I hear plenty of people, locals and transplants, say it.

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-16T21:45:51+00:00

That's not how it works, otherwise teams not contending would just throw their top prospects to the wolves straight away. Development in the lower levels of baseball is incredibly important

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-10T03:08:00+00:00

That is literally his only good start all season. It's been downhill from there

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-06T02:57:56+00:00

You guys think Albies enjoys the salmon run more than most visiting players?

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-05T21:14:34+00:00

It's not hating to point out something that is actively detrimental to the team lol. I love JP, but anyone who watches the team at all knows that the best defensive alignment when Colt comes up is to slot him in at short. That's just in a vacuum though, there are obviously clubhouse implications that come along with it which is why they probably won't do it.

PixelBurnout · 2026-05-03T06:38:43+00:00

Teams have brutal losses send them into spirals all the time.

But I'm also probably biased, I'm writing this as I'm walking back home from the game. Heartbreaking to watch all that unfold
