Newsome for Seattle has some tree trunks for legs.

Would be completely insane, bat**** insane, to take him out.

Did someone just say "Brandon Hyde"?

I think Brown should shut up.

He'll need a few extra days off if he finishes this. Hate to see him blow out his elbow as a result of this.

Tom Seaver-like

up 6-0 in the ninth -- this is the time hitters can just tee off and swing for the fences.

Just be thankful it’s not Kevin Cash

Shut UP, Brown!!

[Moose Milligan]

Dude, Stewart.  Nice at bat but no one wants to see you hit right now.

To Garceau's credit (and Ben of course....) Scott has danced around the jinxing words, the WHOLE game. GOOD on him!

Kevin Brown's credit. I'm drunk.

7-8-9 up for the Mariners.  They're probably going to look to spoil this before swinging for the fences.

Here we go guys.  I'll be crossing my fingers the entirety of the 9th inning!

He's at 101 pitches right now.

So far this year:  97 93 88 96 101 93.

So a 10 pitch or less inning wouldn't be too terribly out of line.   It would be the season high.
