Broadcaster + Director of Media Relations @RainiersLand (Triple-A, @Mariners) • Juice 🐶 • Opinions = Mine
Let’s go @RainiersLand ‼️ Thrilled to share that I’m headed out west to join the Tacoma Rainiers as their Director of Media Relations! In addition to that, I’ll also be a part of the broadcast team! Buffalo will always be home, but I cannot wait to get started! #WeRTacoma
Casey Lawrence allowed just 2 hits in his complete game tonight…the last AAA 9-inning CG with less than 2H allowed was August 19, 2019 when Buffalo’s TJ Zeuch threw a no-hitter against Rochester Zeuch’s catcher that day? Current Rainiers’ coach Beau Taylor #TridentsUp
CASEY LAWRENCE COMPLETE GAME!!!
Excited for the @RainiersLand to have a handful of games on @ROOTSPORTS_NW down the stretch! See you on 📺 August 5! #TridentsUp
Get a closer look at the future! Starting on August 5, @ROOTSPORTS_NW will be broadcasting 1️⃣3️⃣ games from our affiliates live. #TridentsUp 🔗 atmlb.com/44N8zWI
A ridiculous 2 games for Lock: -Has reached in his last 10 PA's (8x8,2B, 3HR, 8RBI, 2BB) -2nd Rainier since '05 to reach base 5x in B2B games (Samad Taylor, 7/5-6/25) -Of 28 PCL hitters to reach base 5x in B2B games since '05, Locklear is 1/10 to not record an out #TridentsUp
LOCKLEAR IS EIGHT FOR HIS LAST EIGHT INSANITY
2 HOMERS, 4 HITS, 6 RBI FOR LOCKLEAR AND IT'S ONLY THE 6TH!!
TAYLOR TO THE LAUNCH PAD! 15th homer of the year for Samad!
Back in the saddle again! The 1st-place @RainiersLand look to get a series victory tonight over El Paso! Blas Castaño takes the mound in just about 10 min. Come hang on KIXI 880! #TridentsUp
If we sacrificed the potential swing-off in yesterday’s derby for the derby finish tonight that is 1,000,000% fine by me
This, unequivocally, is why the MLB All-Star Game remains the best product of the 4 major sports
Hey look an all-star game where the players actually try is delivering an entertaining product.
This is an awesome time to remember that we could see a HR derby finish!!!
The National League was once ahead 6-0 in the All-Star Game. The American League has tied it 6-6 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth on a two-strike infield single by Steven Kwan. If the game remains tied after 9, there will be a Home Run Derby to determine the winner.
He’s done it!!!
Cal Raleigh will be the 1st former @RainiersLand to participate in the HR Derby since Adam Jones (w/ Tac in 06-07) was in the 2014 Derby in Minneapolis and look to be the 1st former Rainier to win it since Ken Griffey Jr. (w/ Tac in ‘95 on ML Rehab) won it in ‘99 #TridentsUp
Don’t get me wrong, happy Cal moved on, but what are we doing here. The swing-off is an electric product. Why are we depriving the fans of that.
Man, a swing-off would’ve been so much cooler & more entertaining than a graphic with decimal points.
Samad Taylor is the first AAA player to hit an extra-inning HR on their birthday since Bobby Kielty, who hit a walk-off solo HR to give Tucson a 3-2 win over New Orleans on August 5, 2011
EXTRA-INNING BIRTHDAY BLAST FOR SAMAD TAYLOR!
