All 3 Mariners that homered tonight have a first name that starts with “J”

Julio Rodríguez, Jorge Polanco & Josh Naylor.

🔱 Against the JAYS.
🔱 J is 10th letter in alphabet; M’s scored 10 runs.
🔱 Julio (and Polo): first Mariners with 3+ run HR in ALCS since JAY Buhner.

I did have my phone ready for this:

Humpy, a salmon mascot, has one knee on the ground and is petting a dog, Tucker, a team dog for the Mariners, who is facing away from the camera.

Tucker, the Mariners dog, bites the blue life preserver ring around Humpy’s waist.

Humpy is wearing a “winner” sash and gold chain in addition to his regular costume.

Look I understand. It’s the Mariners. You haven’t paid attention to them all year. But this is a very big, very dumb mistake to make on national television! Especially in this particular matchup!
