how do i become a fan of the mariners

^ still coping with blaseball end. went to a couple games as a kid but all i remember is a player named raul

man baseball has helped me SO much with losing blaseball so i get that. start with the Dorktown Mariners doc, if you haven’t already! it’s on YouTube. it’s a history of the Mariners (and Seattle baseball in general) up to about 2019, so that’ll give you a good overview of the team (and how wild it is that the team even exists in the first place)

if you want to get to know the current team, there’s an excellent Mariners blog called Lookout Landing, and every season before Spring Training starts they do a series called 40 in 40 where they write 40 articles, one for each of the players on the Mariners 40-man roster. a handful of the players detailed here aren’t on the current 40-man (Ty Adcock and Taylor Trammell wound up on waivers and were picked up by other teams, Prelander Berroa, Blake Hunt, and Zach DeLoach were traded, and Matt Brash and Jackson Kowar both needed surgery and won’t be back until next season) but it’ll give you a fairly good overview of who’s here, particularly our main guys on the 26-man roster (so the guys who are active with the big league club)

Lookout Landing is just really great reading, in general - every article is truly well-written, from deep-dives into players and stats to write-ups on literally every single game the Mariners play. god, i gotta see if i can dig up my favorite article, gimme a sec…. ah! found it. it’s from a random July game, in a season where the Mariners would wind up finally, FINALLY making the playoffs for the first time in 21 years (thanks in large part to Cal Raleigh, who is featured prominently in the article, though of course we couldn’t know that at the time), and the end of it just… gets me every time.

speaking of Cal Raleigh, i would be remiss in not mentioning the Truth Meeting article - this all happened when Cal (and Logan Gilbert, one of the Mariners starting pitchers) were in the minors together, but it’s really good insight into the type of guy Cal is and the relationship he has with Logan (and other pitchers in general - he’s become such a leader with both the pitching staff AND the team as a whole and it’s been very cool to watch)

after that, if you wanna watch games, 🏴‍☠️ is gonna be your cheapest (aka free) options. i unfortunately don’t have a ton of insight into that front but i do know that options are out there. otherwise, if you’re in-market the Mariners are on Root Sports (which is carried by Comcast and Fubo, among others) and if you’re out-of-market you can watch them on MLB TV. both options have subscription fees, which can unfortunately be kinda pricey. if you’re a T-Mobile customer you can get a free MLB TV subscription, but it’s only available at the start of the season, so unfortunately it’s passed for this year. there’s also radio, which is free but i’m not 100% sure if you need to be local? (i’m assuming you’re probably local if you’re looking to get into the Ms + you mentioned Raul who i’m assuming is probably Raul Ibanez, but there’s lots of out-of-town Ms fans too so!) there’s an online option and also an app as well!

some other random Ms content:

Felix Hernandez’s perfect game is on YouTube

Tayler Saucedo (one of our relief pitchers) streams on Twitch - he’s more active during the offseason, obviously, but recently he’s been on the IL (has a minor knee injury and should be back pretty soon) and has been occasionally streaming DURING the games which has been pretty funny (he went viral on Mariners Twitter the other day for his reaction when we had a very exciting comeback win against the Yankees). he’s also a local guy who grew up an Ms fan so it’s been very cool to have him around!

Jen Mueller, one of the Mariners on-field reporters, has a YouTube series called “I Cook, You Measure” where she cooks and chats with various Seattle athletes, including some of the Mariners. so far she’s done episodes with Cal Raleigh, Logan Gilbert, Tayler Saucedo, Bryce Miller, Luis Castillo, and Bryan Woo, as well as former Mariners Mike Cameron and Tom Murphy (Tom was on the team when the episode was filmed but went to the Giants this season). there’s also the Bonus Bites which are just outtakes from the eps that are also really worth watching, there’s some fun stories in there!

okay uhhhh this is way longer than i anticipated it being so i’ll stop here but if you have any other questions lemme know! also if you ARE local and have any questions about coming to a game, the stadium, etc let me know as well, i basically live at T-Mobile Park during baseball season so i’ve got plenty of tips 😅

so i saw you reblogged one (1) blaseball art post about a year ago and in the tags said she should get into blaseball and i think you should keep your word. runs away

one year later and I still need to get into blaseball. the art and aesthetics for it all look very cool but it's also incredibly daunting to get into from a complete outsider's perspective haha.

if anyone has any tips on how to get into it ... I'd highly appreciate it!

Jay: Bisexual/Biromantic Demiboy (He/They, experimenting with the Demiboy label. Is also responsible for Kai looking into being Demigender)

On rainy days people can measure how big their love is. Even when they share umbrellas, as everyone holds them at different angels, it’s clearly visible how big their love is. So love and rain come hand and hand.  — 18 Again (2020)

a bodyswap au would be really funny to me

well! while drawing this, i had a few actual thoughts on it! not too much, but just the basics because this was mostly made out of a study for me figuring out what to carry over in terms of their general demeanor/preferences.

{ KEIJI } - generally prefers loose clothing and doesn't like the feeling of clothes/hair on his neck. combined with the scar kai has on the back of his neck, it makes it less irritable to loosen his collar and put his hair up! he sits hunched over due to habit and due to the burn scar on kai's stomach being more painful when it's stretched out.

{ KAI } - prefers having his sleeves down so he knows how to manage them! he also prefers sleeves with cuffs on the end so they stay in place. he usually prefers tight long-sleeved shirts with an additional layer over it (seen with the cardigan, here, because he's not working), because it makes him feel 'safer' ... he's also a bit hunched over in the right pic, but that was mainly a body language thing (wanting to leave...) more than anything x']

&, as mentioned here, kai's body still endures the aftermath of assassination training and kai would feel some guilt in anyone being forced to deal with that when they haven't had the experience to. learn how to numb/discard that (other than pain flares). and then, atop typical pains, there are scars on the esophagus that also contribute to making it difficult to speak loudly or even. enjoy food w that + dead tastebuds. keiji's taste may not be the greatest because of smoking, but kai's were eroded over time because of poison. he doesn't want anyone else to deal with that, even if he doesn't care much for this fool. it'd honestly mostly end up being a learning experience for keiji.
