Grand Salami Time
Grand Salami Time is a fresh, fan-driven baseball analytics blog and media platform that brings sharp insights, unique storytelling, and a distinctly Seattle voice to the world of MLB coverage. Originally launched as Late Night in Seattle by Robby Gross and Adam Jacobson, the project began as a local sports podcast and blog focused on the Mariners and Seattle sports culture.
Now rebranded as Grand Salami Time, the platform has expanded its reach to feature league-wide baseball analysis—combining data-driven commentary with personality, humor, and a healthy dose of Pacific Northwest flair. Whether it’s spotlighting underrated stars like Randy Arozarena, breaking down Statcast trends, or playfully calling out fan takes, Grand Salami Time is where baseball gets smart and fun at the same time.

Current Events
UW Men's basketball is on a bit of a slide...lost the Apple Cup at home in dramatic fashion. While the Pac-12 is pretty tightly grouped -- only 4 games separate the 10th place Huskies from 1st place Arizona State -- that's because the conference is strong
top to bottom. The Cougs are 16-6 (7-4 in conf) and have already beaten Arizona this year. The dawgs sit at 12-10(4-7) with 8 regular season games left. If the P12 tourney started today, the Dawgs would face UCLA in the first round.
Mariners have made some more additions...Jorge Polanco and Gregory Santos
