Many years, the Seattle Mariners reaching the midway point of the season above .500 would be seen as a distinct success. Similarly, reaching Game #82 in first place by 2.5 games would be a state of abject glee. But the expectations are different in 2026, and the rubber match of Seattle’s series with the Pittsburgh […]

The Mariners lineup continued to sputter with their 10th game in a row failing to score at least 4 runs. Which hitter’s struggles are most concerning to you during this prolonged slump? In Mariners news… […]

Hello, friends. The west coast road trip of disappointment is finally over. At times, it seemed like it could have been something better than it was. If only the Orioles had scored more than six runs in three games against the Mariners. If only they hadn’t blown the series opener against the Dodgers. If only […]
Sometimes, hot dogs can go to hell, because it’s language itself that is a sandwich. Piracy is known today by its two modern utilizations – the crime of attacking ships at sea to rob them, and the illegal copying of media with the purpose of publication and sale. The former is a profession and a […]
Pirates 11, Mariners 1 Retired in Bend: Cal Raleigh, 0.06 WPA (hit some lasers, got barely rewarded) Real tired in Pittsburgh: Bryan Woo, -0.30 WPA (gave up some lasers, got constantly punished) Game thread comment of the day: At the midway point of the season, yes, yes it is.
The Mariners will reach the midway point in their regular season on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. Bryan Woo will be on the mound as his team looks to secure a series win on the road and return to .500 in games away from T-Mobile Park this year. Woo is coming off one of his best […]
Seattle Mariners vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, June 24, 2026, 6:40 p.m. ET The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking for revenge after a tough 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners last night at PNC Park. The Pirates held a 2-1 lead going into the seventh inning, but a pair of runs surrendered by Mitch Keller off of a […]
The Seattle Mariners are expected to strengthen their bullpen in the coming weeks. Despite leading the American League West, Seattle seemingly has multiple needs in the trade market. They have been linked with acquiring a right-handed hitter to help balance out the lineup in recent days. However, Jerry Dipoto, the team’s president of baseball operations, […]

Good morning everyone! Pittsburgh native Cole Young had a homecoming to remember last night, delivering the go-ahead homer in a 3-2 Mariners victory over the Pirates. Importantly, Andrés Muñoz also looked electric last night. How are you feeling about our closer after his dominant showing? In Mariners news… Around the league…
There’s a running joke in one of my group chats that Cole Young looks like a Disney prince who decided to play baseball instead (show me the lie). In tonight’s series opener against the Pirates, Young Prince Cole had a game fit for a golden era Disney film. Making his first-ever appearance as a big-leaguer […]
Mariners 3, Pirates 2 Achieving a childhood dream: Cole Young, .20 WPA; Andrés Muñoz, .21 WPA Not doing that: Julio Rodríguez, -.15 WPA Game thread comment of the day: Very Cole, indeed. All aboard the Cole Train, it’s a Love Supreme.
The Mariners kick off a road trip in Pittsburgh, returning them to the sweaty mid-Atlantic region they’d just escaped a week ago. George Kirby will take the mound against the famously right-handed Mitch Keller, and all the lefty bats in Seattle rejoiced. Get up to speed on the Pirates in the series preview here. Lineups: […]
Count me shocked that the Mariners were able to win one of their games against that trio of lefty starters the Red Sox rolled out last weekend. That win on Sunday wrapped up a 3-3 homestand and pushed the team another game ahead of their division rivals. Now the team embarks on a midwest road […]
Good morning! The Mariners are back in action today as they begin a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. George Kirby gets the start at 3:40 PM against RHP Mitch Keller. With a thinning starting lineup due to injuries, who do you predict will step up in the major absences and be […]
After a rousing review of everyone’s favorite Mariners conspiracy theories last week, I decided to come back to a familiar topic: how much we, as Mariners fans, dislike the rest of the AL West. I asked everyone rank the other AL West teams from most hated to least hated in order to get the pulse […]
The Boston Red Sox wrapped up their series in Seattle on Sunday with a 3-1 loss to the Mariners, unable to complete the sweep despite another strong outing from the pitching staff. The defeat dropped Boston to 31-45, a record that sits uncomfortably close to the worst in the MLB.The offense has been the story […]

Tony Vitello has put together 60 different batting orders in 77 games with 8 different lead-off hitters so far this season. The Giants have had four different players log at least 40 plate appearances at the top of the order, which along with the Seattle Mariners, is the most across the Majors. There are plenty […]
Being the highest-paid player on a Major League Baseball team seems like a sweet gig, minus the pressure. Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers are thriving, while others struggle.
After winning their first two games of their weekend series against the Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox were looking for a rare sweep on Sunday. The Red Sox’s home/road splits this year have been eye-opening.However, whether it’s been at Fenway Park or on the road, there has been one common theme when it comes […]

The Red Sox had a chance to finish off a sweep of the Mariners on Sunday, but missed opportunities throughout the afternoon led to a 3-1 defeat.
After three straight seasons in Seattle with ERAs in the mid-3.00s, with solid WHIPs and strong strikeout rates, Luis Castillo has taken a step backward this season at the age of 33. He sports a 5.22 ERA. Castillo has been bumped from the top 5 in the Mariners' rotation, bouncing back and forth to the bullpen. But there's enough credit on his resume, with nine previous seasons of strong work at the top of pitching staffs, that teams should be looking to capitalize on the situation ...
A day after being left behind by some more lefty pitching from the Red Sox, the Mariners righted the ship and escaped being swept by Boston thanks to the righteous contributions of three of their lefties: Dominic Canzone (actual lefty), Cole Young (actual lefty), and Logan Gilbert (spiritual lefty). Gilbert – who does everything except […]
In the game thread, I joked that if the Red Sox were going to get hot, now would be the time to do so. They’re heading to Colorado next for a three-game series with the Rockies, the only team in baseball with fewer wins than the Red Sox. After that, they have a four-game series […]
