Jose Montero guns down Sam Fuld at second base.  The umpire called him safe.  Nice timing on Cindy's photo though, eh?  Single shot.

If you saw the slo-mo's on TV, you saw Seager get the glove down onto the leg, just as Fuld's hands were about 4-6 inches from the bag.  Not sure whether you'd call that "bang-bang"; a hand's length is a pretty good separation as baseball "beat the throw" plays go.  Had Fuld been called out, as he would have been if an Angels catcher had been throwing and a Mariner running, Montero's CS% would be at exactly the league average.

You notice that Wedge, and Wakamatsu before him, usually accept the treatment that the umpires inflict on the Mariners.  You can't fight City Hall, though Piniella and Weaver made life pretty miserable for the mayor.

Ah well.  Not a bad photo from the third deck, if y'ask me.  :- )

No, this isn't the Spirit of Seattle Sports Joy fleeing Safeco for greener pastures up the street at C-Link.  Cindy happened to catch a trick of the lighting.  But I, for one, am psyched about Russell Wilson.  Hadn't realized, until back-searching the Seahawk reporting, that Carroll is open to the idea of Wilson winning the starting QB job.

John Jaso's OBP this afternoon is ... wait for it ... .397.  That ain't because he's robbing Peter to pay Paul; his slugging average is nearly .500 too.  That puts his OPS+ at one fifty, and his wRC+ (almost the same thing) at one forty six.  This exceeds the numbers for Josh Hamilton and Robinson Cano, because they aren't getting their bases in Safeco.

Remember when Jaso apologized for his teammates, "You know when you hit it at Safeco it isn't going anywhere"?  One can be tooooo polite, you know.
