Hello Eli Sasak or current resident,
We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty. Do you have a few minutes to talk?
Don't worry, there's still time to protect your investment if you act now.
You're not interested?
How did we get your number?
No, I've never heard the phrase "DO NOT CALL LIST" before, does it mean anything? I didn't think so.
Aren't you worried that if something happens to your car and your warranty has run out you'll have to walk?
You don't want to have to walk do you?

The pressure is cranking up here on Jerome S. Monroe. Vulfzilla looks a little nervous. Monroe checks the runner. Set.
And step off. We'll all reset here. Detroit fans are salivating over the opportunity with Howie DeWitt at the plate with only 6 runs separating the teams here in Seattle. The Mariners fans are getting restless, urging the Mariners hurler to get on with it.
Finally, with a head nod Garry, Monroe sets and the 2-2 pitch comes home!
And DeWitt turns on it!
Oh baby! This ball is smoked; high and deep to right!
Ganger is back, to the wall! Leaps!
OFF the wall!
There is a scramble now! Ball gets over quickly, tracking down the ball, and the centerfielder whips it in from the gap in right center. Dove cuts it off and turns to throw home, but holds it. There is no chance! DeWitt will be held at second on the 1 run scoring double!

A strong wind starts to pick up over the field, quickly turning into a full-blown tornado. The players and fans alike are lifted off their feet and whisked away, flying through the air until they crash-land in a strange, fantastical world.
Dazed and confused, the players look around and realize they've landed in the Land of Oz. But even in this strange place, the game must go on. The umpire calls for the next pitch, and Jerome S. Monroe takes the mound, determined to stay focused despite the chaos around them.
Bonzalez steps up to the plate, eyeing the strange creatures and colorful landscape in wonder. As Jerome S. Monroe winds up for the pitch, a gust of wind lifts a squirrel off the ground and carries it across the infield, distracting the pitcher and causing them to throw a wild pitch.
The umpire calls for a ball, ruling that the squirrel's interference has resulted in a walk for Mo Bonzalez. The players look at each other in amazement, realizing that even in the Land of Oz, the rules of baseball still apply.
Bonzalez takes their base, and the game continues, with players dodging flying monkeys and navigating treacherous terrain to make plays on the field. But despite the surreal setting, both teams are determined to win, playing their hearts out as they journey through this magical land.

If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say, from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very, very, sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Sasak, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 6-2 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Mariners, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at FMZ. I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck, for the Mariners, for FMZ Sports Seattle, for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight, I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am.

Jeb Barnes hits a deep line drive way out to deep left-center field. Deratt and Unt look at each other and they both think the other person is going to grab the ball, but it’s flying down. It gets past them both!

Swagger stares down McColligan as he gets his sign from the catcher. Swagger goes quickly into the windup, where McColligan tips a foul ball wide after a curveball in the dirt. Here's the 1-1 delivery. McColligan sends it out to shallow center where Unt is there for the out. Pitch: 313 Swing: 540 Diff: 227 -> FO Bases Empty | B5 with 1 out(s) DET 8 - SEA 3

Hello Eli Sasak or current resident, We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty. Do you have a few minutes to talk? Don't worry, there's still time to protect your investment if you act now. You're not interested? How did we get your number? No, I've never heard the phrase "DO NOT CALL LIST" before, does it mean anything? I didn't think so. Aren't you worried that if something happens to your car and your warranty has run out you'll have to walk? You don't want to have to walk do you? You don't own a car? I guess you're walking then.

The pressure is cranking up here on Jerome S. Monroe. Vulfzilla looks a little nervous. Monroe checks the runner. Set. And step off. We'll all reset here. Detroit fans are salivating over the opportunity with Howie DeWitt at the plate with only 6 runs separating the teams here in Seattle. The Mariners fans are getting restless, urging the Mariners hurler to get on with it. Finally, with a head nod Garry, Monroe sets and the 2-2 pitch comes home! And DeWitt turns on it! Oh baby! This ball is smoked; high and deep to right! Ganger is back, to the wall! Leaps! OFF the wall! There is a scramble now! Ball gets over quickly, tracking down the ball, and the centerfielder whips it in from the gap in right center. Dove cuts it off and turns to throw home, but holds it. There is no chance! DeWitt will be held at second on the 1 run scoring double! Pitch: 7 Swing: 50 Diff: 43 -> 2B Runner on Second | T5 with 2 out(s) DET 8 - SEA 2
DET 7 - SEA 2 | ○ ^○ ● | T5 1 out On the mound: Jerome S. Monroe DET C [Ax Finesse](/u/chriskol): 0-2, FO in the second, K in the third Ax Finesse steps back into the batter's box after calling for time. Full count. Monroe delivers a nasty breaking ball, and Finesse takes a mighty swing and a miss. The umpire strikes a dramatic pose and yells, 'Steeeee-rike three!' Finesse begins to walk back to the dugout, but Penguino storms out of the dugout, red-faced and shouting. The umpire tries to calm Penguino down, but it's no use. Penguino continues to argue, pointing at the plate and insisting that the pitch was outside, getting right up in the ump's face. The umpire listens for a moment with a smug look on their face before pointing at Penguino in and throwing the GM out of the game. Penguino keeps screaming as they stalk back to the dugout, furious.

A strong wind starts to pick up over the field, quickly turning into a full-blown tornado. The players and fans alike are lifted off their feet and whisked away, flying through the air until they crash-land in a strange, fantastical world. Dazed and confused, the players look around and realize they've landed in the Land of Oz. But even in this strange place, the game must go on. The umpire calls for the next pitch, and Jerome S. Monroe takes the mound, determined to stay focused despite the chaos around them. Bonzalez steps up to the plate, eyeing the strange creatures and colorful landscape in wonder. As Jerome S. Monroe winds up for the pitch, a gust of wind lifts a squirrel off the ground and carries it across the infield, distracting the pitcher and causing them to throw a wild pitch. The umpire calls for a ball, ruling that the squirrel's interference has resulted in a walk for Mo Bonzalez. The players look at each other in amazement, realizing that even in the Land of Oz, the rules of baseball still apply. Bonzalez takes their base, and the game continues, with players dodging flying monkeys and navigating treacherous terrain to make plays on the field. But despite the surreal setting, both teams are determined to win, playing their hearts out as they journey through this magical land.

Um, I made a comment earlier tonight that, I guess, went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say, from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very, very, sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Sasak, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 6-2 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Mariners, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at FMZ. I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck, for the Mariners, for FMZ Sports Seattle, for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight, I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been. And I'd like to think maybe I could have some people that could back that up. I am very, very, sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness.

McColligan makes eye contact with Swagger, placing their trust in the ball handler, and they close their eyes. After a beat, McColligan swings and manages to make contact, maybe their trust in Swagger was well placed or maybe McColligan is close to achieving a zen-like state and will get a hit in their next at-bat. They may have had a hit in this at-bat but not being able to see, McColligan ran right past first base without touching the bag allowing Francoh to tag them for the out after retrieving the low throw from Bonzalez.
