Mariners Game #55: 5/29/25, WAS at SEA
Lineups: This may not be the facing-a-lefty lineup one might expect given neutral ground, but it is certainly one we have been conditioned to expect this season. Nationals lineup! News: Casey Lawrence is back for another stint with the big-league club, replacing Blas Castaño, who made his big-league debut in last night's stinker. Lawrence will inevitably be sent down again when the team reinstates Bryce Miller, who is slated to pitch Friday. Advertisement Also in rehabbing pitcher news, Logan Gilbert is making a rehab start tonight in Tacoma. Game time is 7:05 PT and you can watch on the MiLB TV app, or follow along in the First Pitch app. In more injury news, Luke Raley was at the ballpark today taking some swings off the machine. He said he wasn't swinging max effort, but that didn't stop him from sending a few over the fence during his power round of BP. Raley says he's feeling fine as he continues to work back, just dealing with normal soreness after exertion. Obliques are tricky injuries to rehab and Raley said it's the first time he's dealt with this kind of injury, so he's trying to be really careful and not overdo it effort-wise (always a challenge for the all-out Raley), but if he feels good after today there's a possibility he could take some swings in Tacoma this weekend. Captain's Log: Dan Wilson on Emerson Hancock's spike in velocity, fourth-highest increase in MLB this season: Advertisement 'That's been a really encouraging sign for him. Some of that I think you can attribute to his mentality and his ability to attack hitters. We talk a lot about attacking the zone, but he's taken that to the next level. And sometimes that mental approach can help with your stuff as well. I think he's just in a really good spot, physically and mentally, and continues to throw the ball well for us, and the confidence has really grown.'

Caitlin Clark Gold Vinyl 1/1 hits the market and what is the true hot dog rookie card?
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - MAY 17: Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever plays against the Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 17, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this Photograph, user is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) The 'next Messi,' aka 17-year-old wunderkind Lamine Yamal, got the Topps Now treatment this week with a card that features him alongside Travis Scott . Per usual, some lucky collectors have the potential to grab numbered parallels and one will end up with the 1/1 auto. I am going on record and saying that I absolutely love when they have non-sports stars on baseball cards. Advertisement Or even cross-over cards, like Wemby juggling at Yankee stadium or Jayden Daniels, Juju Watkins and Angel Reese throwing out the first pitch. Here are some of my favorite celeb-featured Topps cards: Finally, I want you to think of a celebrity that you would absolutely be thrilled about pulling while opening a pack. Think really hard. You got a card? OK, keep thinking… is this your card ? Again, I'm a big fan of the celebrity cards, whether they are First Pitch or Topps Now or in Allen & Ginter, however - and this is a big however - you should never consider a non-sport card auto or relic a 'hit' in a box. Especially a relic. But it feels like you're mostly setting up disappointment. And this is not Shin Lim slander, this goes for about 98% of the celebrities in the set. Speaking of Yamal, he's been a hot riser in the hobby over the last month, with a 42% increase in sales month-over-month according to Alt . Advertisement Even Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the Yamal craze. Watch for Yamal sales on eBay. If the user name is 'IWantOutOfMilwaukee' then you might be selling to a future Hall of Famer. The Caitlin Clark Gold Vinyl Prizm 1/1 has hit Alt auctions and this card is probably going to break all sorts of records. The timing is perfect, with the WNBA season just underway and Clark coming off a triple-double in the opening game against Chicago. She very well might be the league's MVP in just her second season. And while this 6-figure-plus card likely won't beat the $366,000 price tag for the Gold Vinyl 1/1 Prizm Auto that sold at the end of March, it's probably going to become the second most expensive women's sports card ever. Advertisement Very cool. Sponsor patches have officially reached the inside of baseball cards. This one's for the 'boy, cards have really gone too commercial for my taste' crowd. And the 'they'll put anything in cards' crowd as well. How's this for a hot hand : We The Hobby pulled seven 1/1's in a single case of 2024 Clearly Donruss FOTL. Ever since the Backyard Breaks scandal people were starting to wonder where their juiced boxes were ending up, well, I guess we now know! (Note: as you know I'm not a juiced-box-conspiracy-theorist. This is very fun to see, IMO). People are paying over $100 for the 70th Anniversary commemorative Key to Disneyland which was recently launched. It's a super fun search-for-rewards offering that Disney debuted and I suppose that if you aren't intending on making your way there this summer then it makes sense to grab one on eBay, but paying $100+ seems a little excessive at this point. Right? And finally, Bill Walton's personal collection of sports and music memorabilia is up for auction, including some incredible grails for any Grateful Dead fans. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit a charity. Advertisement So, if you're a music and/or sports collector, then take out the old credit card and throw it down, big man . Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.
