The Mariners lost a bummer of a game in Chicago yesterday but still have a chance at a series win tomorrow at 11:10 am PST.
Happy Sunday everybody!
In Mariners news…
Big shoutout to the Chicago White Sox who made the super classy move of going well out of their way to honor the great Rick Rizzs during his last visit to the Southside.
Around the league…
The great Bobby Cox, who managed the Braves during their juggernaut era of the ‘90’s, sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 84 years old. The tragic news was met with a massive outpouring of respect and grief from a litany of Braves legends, both past and present.
(CW: Domestic Abuse) The writers at [eyeblack] obtained a recording of a call between Olivia Feinstead, one of the women who accused Mike Clevinger of domestic abuse, and MLB’s Department of Investigations. In the call, Feinstead strongly opposes that the evidence provided by herself and other accusers did not qualify as substantial evidence. Also learned by [eyeblack] was that the league did not interview all of the accusers and witnesses provided. If true, this all paints an upsetting picture of gross incompetence by the investigators tasked with evaluating all available evidence to determine disciplinary action.
Nick’s pick…
Growler Guys, the delightful Lake City tap room that has hosted a number of Lookout Landing community events, was struck by tragedy yesterday. The owners have announced that they will be closed for the remainder of the rest of the weekend and are asking for privacy at this time.
