The Mariners played baseball tonight and casually beat the Oakland Athletics at home. The stakes were low, even with the A’s technically in contention for a Wild Card spot, but Marco Gonzales threw eight strong, bullpen-icing innings and the bats did more than enough damage to sock away a morale-boosting victory.
My 2-year-old daughter threw a pitch to me for the first time today. I play in a wiffleball league (#LGSC) and this season I decided to finally buy a wiffleball bat and some balls and do some practicing between games when I can, but also I figured our kiddo would enjoy playing with them, as well.
