Latest news and updates about the Mariners
The Mariners finally put together a complete series with every part of the roster firing on all cylinders. That it came against the division leading Athletics and led to a sweep, launching the M’s into first place in the AL West makes it all the sweeter. The team still isn’t above .500 yet — it’s […]
Good morning everyone and happy Friday! The M’s will take on the Diamondbacks today for the first in a three-game weekend set. The D-Backs have long been one of my favorite NL squads — they’re geographically close(ish) but harmless to the Mariners in the grand scheme. Though, nobody will top the Nationals for me. What […]
Our second righthander in two installments of draft coverage thus far, Cade Townsend profiles as one of the more unique first-round arms we’ll see drafted this 2026 cycle. Equipped with about as big of an arsenal as you’ll see any pitcher deploy at the amateur level, Townsend has an uncanny ability to manipulate the baseball, […]
Good morning everyone! Your Seattle Mariners get to enjoy this off-day in sole possession of first place in the American League West after confidently toppling the A’s last night 9-1. The squad will now head back home for a pair of interleague battles against the Diamondbacks and Mets. What are you most looking forward to […]
Heading into a pivotal divisional series in Sacramento, the vibes were off in Mariners Land. They had just dropped another series to the middling Royals in which they couldn’t put all the facets together in one game. And even though the M’s took the series opener on Monday night, their work was cut out for […]
Hoping to avoid a sweep at the hands of American League West Rival Seattle Mariners, the A’s took the field today at Sutter Health Park for game three of the three game set.

Mariners 9, Athletics 1 Ice cream on a sunny day: Logan Gilbert, +0.22 WPA Razor scooters or baseball helmets to the shin: Julio Rodríguez, -0.06 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Two sub-.500 teams will duke it out for first place on a minor league field. Logan Gilbert gets the ball for the M’s as they look to sweep away an AL West rival in the third and final game of the series Wednesday in Sacramento. Gilbert’s last start on May 22 was a no decision […]

Good morning friends! Happy Wednesday to you all. Last night, the Mariners triumphed over the A’s 4-1 thanks to another strong outing from Emerson Hancock, who kept it rolling even in the hitter-friendly Sacramento confines. The M’s have a chance to slide back into first place in the AL West with a win today in […]
It was a simple win. The Mariners got a lot of hits and scored four runs. The A’s got fewer few hits and scored fewer runs. The Mariners beat the A’s 4-1 on Tuesday. It was that simple. The Mariners wasted no time in jumping on Gage Jump, making first his first start as a […]
After dropping the series opener to the visiting Seattle Mariners, the A’s hoped to rebound in game two of the three-game set. Gage Jump, the 23-year-old lefty, was called up from Las Vegas for the game today. He tossed a clean first inning, striking out 2 of the first three batters he faced. Unfortunately, Jump […]
Mariners 4, Athletics 1 Good: Emerson Hancock, +0.27 WPA Bad: Cole Young, -0.06 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
The Mariners go for a series win. Emerson Hancock takes the mound. He faces rookie Gage Jump, a top 100 prospect and — crucially — a lefty. The Mariners lineup has been bad against lefties all season, and they’ll look to change that against youth and inexperience Tuesday. Against Mr. Jump, the Mariners send their […]
After dropping the series opener to the visiting Seattle Mariners, the A’s hope to rebound in game two of the three-game set. The Athletics, at 27-27 remain in first place in the American League West a game and a half over the Mariners who are right behind them in second place. The A’s hope to […]
The Seattle Mariners announced Tuesday that they have activated LHP Gabe Speier off the 15-day injured list for pitchers, optioning RHP Nick Davila in a corresponding move. Speier had joined the ballclub in Sacramento following rehab stints in Everett and Tacoma. The southpaw has been a core part of the back end of Seattle’s bullpen […]
Greetings! Inspired by posters Cleavertime and Telekinectic Sasquath, I threw this Breaking Bad prompt out into THE FEED and foLLks did not disappoint. But first, if you haven’t seen Breaking Bad yet, you may want to skip this one just in case of spoilers, I suppose. But, it’s a great show if you like gritty […]
Good morning and happy Monday everybody! Sorry about the late links! Traffic, am I right? The Mariners offense took advantage of windy conditions in Sacramento while the piggyback tandem of Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller stifled the A’s offense to cruise to a comfortable 9-2 win. The squad will look to secure a series win […]
Six hundred and fifty-plus episodes in, and the Royals Rundown Podcast is still finding new angles on Kansas City Royals baseball. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco mark the milestone with one of the more wide-ranging conversations, from a series victory over the Seattle Mariners to a daunting date with the New York Yankees on the […]
The piggyback situation remains an uncomfortable – and I would argue, untenable – situation for Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller, but both of them pitched through that tonight and did their jobs, pitching all nine innings without touching the bullpen, giving up two runs (both Miller’s) with a combined 10 strikeouts to just two walks […]
The A’s had no answers for the Mariners tonight as the team came up helpless on their Holiday evening, dropping the first game of the series. Time to get back to winning. More to come…
Mariners 9, Athletics 2 Trampoline Parks: Luis Castillo, .14 WPA; Randy Arozarena, .13 WPA Trampoline Parks Masquerading As Baseball Fields: J.P. Crawford, -.04 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
After a disappointing series loss to the Royals where the offense looked blinkered, the Mariners now have to contend with the high-flying Athletics offense in their pint-sized ballpark. Sounds like a recipe for a good time. Also, per Shannon Drayer, it’s looking like it will be a windy game in Sacramento. Surely that won’t lead […]
Happy Memorial Day everyone! The A’s are back at home and return to the friendly confines of Sutter Health Park still in first place in their division after a 4-3 road trip. Now the team will go head-to-head against the team that won the AL West last year and are hot on our heels this […]
Pre-season prognosticators were virtually unanimous: The Seattle Mariners will win the AL West. And they may well do so, but if they win the division it will not be on the strength of the season’s first 1/3. The Mariners completed their 54th game yesterday, an 8-6 loss to the Royals that left them 25-29 for […]
