In Mariners news...

- I don’t like telling people what to do, but I won’t let that stop me from doing it. Stop doing the wave. Especially if you’re in the Diamond Club.
The fans did the wave behind home plate right when Speier started his delivery of a huge 3-2 pitch. pic.twitter.com/6LAN9iPCU9

Around the league...
- Top pitching prospect Paul Skenes made his Major League debut yesterday in what ended up being a really bizarre game, but Skenes’ first inning was absolutely electric, with the crowd engaged with every single pitch thrown.

- And those fans were treated to a show immediately, with nine out ten Skenes fastballs in the first inning being clocked over 100 mph.
Paul Skenes’ 101.9 mph pitch in the first inning, the 12th of his MLB careerr, is the fastest pitch by a Pirates starter in the pitch-tracking era (2008, incl PS)

- If watching a game from McCovey Cove wasn’t already on your bucket list, it definitely is now.
The best seats in @MLB just got better!!! A super large TV was just installed by the @SFGiants on the @oraclepark Arcade wall facing #McCoveyCove. Now fans in their kayaks no longer have to depend solely on their radios. @bleacherreport @sportscenter @espn #SFGiants @NBCSGiants pic.twitter.com/x3UuyqATz7

- Max Scherzer was already facing a long recovery following back surgery last year, and nerve issues that extend up the entire arm are certainly not going to help him get back sooner for his age 39 season.
Max Scherzer's thumb soreness, which slowed down his recovery from back surgery, is actually a nerve issue that extends to his tricep. He received an injection in his neck to try and address it, but he doesn't yet know what this means for his recovery moving forward.

- No, you aren’t imagining it. Mascots are actually getting hornier by design. ($)
Nick’s pick...
- Umpires do this on the field between innings and get a standing ovation, I do this at the farmer’s market and get arrested. Doesn’t seem fair.
