🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨

This one starts with me saying "this series was basically Lizard by King Crimson" so if that's the kind of analysis you crave, you're in luck! Jamie and I recap the Mariners' triumph over the Tigers and preview the ALCS. Available wherever you listen to podcasts! ⚾ linktr.ee/tlampod

A simple collage consisting of two 2024 Topps baseball cards (Jorge Polanco and Leo Rivas) as well as Humpy the salmon mascot.

This isn't funny. Strike zones only do this when they're in extreme distress.

Is this strike zone good? Asking for a friend

Chart showing the pitches called by Doug Eddings, as charted by the Hawkeye camera system.

The strike zone is ringed with an even blend of green(ball) and red(strike) calls in a completely inconsistent manner. It's not good.

Yeah even when I ate it… it’s fundamentally not as good as chicken

I do expect the Brewers to embarrass the Dodgers in the NLCS. Let’s see how wrong I am about that

Not feeling great about my “Jays in 6” prediction, but also not complaining. GOMS

I wanted to yell at them!

The Mariners radio booth is going on about Canadian football right now. I know almost nothing about the CFL except that they've been wrong on almost everything

As a vegan I’m not wild about the meat fetishization on broadcasts but I usually keep those thoughts to myself. Hilarious to see my whole feed complaining about this turkey

Regardless of result, I think we can all agree that Doug Eddings sucks ass

For a plus-15-run outfield defender, Daulton Varsho has been doing a lot of odd shit tonight

Humpy is running around the watch party like a madman and Tucker the Mariners Pup was chasing him. I didn’t have my phone ready for that.

I love that Polo answered the “why would you pitch to Cal?” rhetorical question that Jays fans are asking

Bold prediction but they could still get a run in the 5th 😉

This was a lot of fun! Highly recommend checking this episode, and maybe a few of the player deep dives, out.
