On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners released their commercials to promote the 2019 regular season. They’ll begin showing today before the team’s game against the Oakland A’s (5:40 p.m. on Root Sports).

As in years past, the commercials are the result of a creative collaboration between the Mariners and Seattle agency Copacino+Fujikado and shot on location in Peoria at the team’s spring training complex.

Enjoy:

Dee Gordon’s pit Crew

Dee Gordon is pretty fast and gets around the bases pretty quickly. Well, much like a race car, he’s got a trusty pit crew to help him out.

Hangin’ with Haniger

Something like this happens during the season, someone out in the field has to go in the stands to grab a foul ball and they occasionally run into a fan. Now, having a conversation with a player? That’s a different animal as Mitch Haniger learned.

Mallex speed

Mallex Smith is pretty fast, but unlike Dee Gordon he doesn’t need a pit crew. You’ve just gotta be a step or five, or 10 ahead of him.

The “Crafty” left-handers

This one may be my favorite of all. If you think left-handed pitchers aren’t crafty off the field, then you haven’t met Marco Gonzales, Wade LeBlanc, and Yusei Kikuchi. Near the end, a veteran right-hander tries to figured just what the heck are these guys up to?

Always pay homage to those crafty ones who came before you.
