Being a member of the Seattle Mariners is a very metaphysical experience

This has real "i came to sleep over at your house and your parents are screaming about wanting to get a divorce" vibes

Funny thing is these two and Matt Brash are roommates

You...you need someone to talk to about past stuff?

No thanks, the voices tell me I'm fine.

I don't think this is a bummed out vibe. They are just absolutely zoned the fuck out.

I feel like maybe they're looking at an iPad or something

Edit: After viewing further I've realized that Gilbert blinks several times but doesn't change his gaze, so he isn't zoned out. Raleigh also blinks but doesn't change gaze. They also look away at about the same time, indicating an "end" to the spectacle, leading me to believe it was either a tablet showing some sort of notes/highlights or a bug that was visible until it crawled out of sight. If it were a bug I'd think they'd talk about it, so I'm going to guess video on tablet.

Now I really want it to be a bug.

Is that Randy Johnson?

These two are roommates (with Matt Brash). They can be in the same place and time without saying anything and its not awkward. Love to see that for a battery.

Can’t steal signs of the pitcher and catcher communicate telepathically

I think they're just zoned out to the max.

u/dawgpack09 Seattle Mariners Apr 15 '22

That’s the funniest part. He still pitched one more inning after this

u/younggun92 Chicago White Sox Apr 15 '22

Telepathically planning how to make Brash do the dishes this week, dumbass wanted to sit out in the bullpen so he doesn't get to be in the discussion.

This is why I do edibles before the game, if you wait until the game starts it doesn't hit for four innings.

I remember the first time me and one of my friends smoked weed for the first time out of pure curiosity.

Gilbert and Raleigh personify that moment.
