Latest news and updates about the Mariners
At a time when his rotation-mates are relishing the opportunity, while their catcher is away at the WBC, to try out new tricks, Bryan Woo is dancing with the one that brought him. Woo looked sharp today in his third spring outing: his pitches were crisp, well-located, and thrown with conviction. He opened with a […]
Record 8-9. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-11-2. The pitching was on point for both teams this afternoon. For Arizona, that meant starting with three perfect innings from Zac Gallen, who struck out a trio as he retired all nine batters faced. It took him 41 pitches to get there, and was probably the […]
As I write this, I am watching the Great Britain baseball team take on Brazil in the World Baseball Classic. While both sides have been eliminated, there’s still something to play for here: the winning country will automatically be entered the next WBC, without having to go through the qualification tournament. So this is definitely […]
We’re back, and so is J.P. Crawford. The Mariners play the Diamondbacks in another rousing round of Spring baseball. Crawford is in the lineup and playing shortstop for the first time this Spring, after a slower start than usual while battling shoulder issues. Ryan Bliss and Brendan Donovan flank him on either side of the […]
Good morning! The Mariners fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 3-6 yesterday, with their three runs coming from big homers by Leo Rivas and Brennen Davis. Starter George Kirby had many good moments but wasn’t completely satisfied with his outing, specifically the movement on his sliders. Kate highlighted yesterday that Kirby is now calling some of […]
Box Score Jake Bauers and Andrew Vaughn both had two extra-base hits, Ethan Murray channelled his inner Barry Bonds, and Kyle Harrison struck out over half of the batters he faced to earn Milwaukee their fourth straight spring victory. The only batter to reach base for either team in the first inning was Jake Bauers, […]
After briefly flirting with a win yesterday the Mariners went back to their comfort zone today, losing 3-6 in Maryvale to the Brewers. All three of their runs came off homers: a two-run shot by Leo Rivas and a mammoth tank job by spring breakout star Brennen Davis. Lefty Kyle Harrison, Milwaukee’s big trade acquisition […]
I have alarming news. Somehow, while I wasn’t looking, we passed the halfway point of spring training. Counting today’s game, only 15 games remain between Opening Day and [gestures at the smoking ruin of the 27-6 blowout against San Diego] whatever this is. It’s been a weird spring, with so many regulars gone with their […]
Today’s spring training matchup pits the Brewers against the Seattle Mariners, who finished one win shy of the World Series last season. On the mound for Milwaukee tonight is lefty Kyle Harrison, acquired from the Red Sox this offseason in exchange for a package headlined by infielder Caleb Durbin. As I wrote about a few […]
Happy Sunday everybody! This morning I will be on the way down to Phoenix for a few days of Phoenix sunshine and Spring Training baseball! My phone battery is going to get worked to within an inch of its life trying to stream as much WBC as possible. Really looking forward to seeing the result […]
It’s certainly nice to watch a White Sox game where the team that looks like it has no idea how the game is supposed to be played is the other guys. It was the supposedly good Mariners (yeah, yeah, they’ve got 18 guys playing in the WBC, but so what?) who misplayed two bunts, started […]
Boring is good. The Mariners lost to the White Sox on Saturday. It doesn’t really matter how because it’s Spring Training. That I have nothing more pressing to tell you is a good thing. Spring Training is meant to be boring. It’s practice. And practice baseball follows the same conventions for all news: if it […]
It started out as a joke: while Cal Raleigh is away, his pitchers will play. Cal’s clubhouse chair wasn’t even cold before Logan Gilbert made a start where he was throwing his cutter and sinker, two pitches his opinionated catcher does not like him to throw, as revealed in this in-depth analysis by Zach Mason. […]
The White Sox hit the road to face a Mariners team that’s a whole lot better than its spring record, so they may be doing a whole lot of experimenting so far. The Sox can hope the experimenting continues, which is likely given all the players the Mariners have on international rosters at the moment. […]
We continue to trudge our way through Spring Training. We’ve reached the point where the novelty of these exhibitions has waned, and time has slowed to a crawl. There’s still 18 days until Opening Day, though really it’s more like 17.9 days, since we get to shave an hour tonight. I’ll take what I can […]
Good morning dear friends and happy Saturday! Things are getting busy in the baseball world with the World Baseball Classic and spring training games all in full swing. Have any WBC results surprised you so far? I was holding my breath in the early innings of that Nicaragua-Dominican Republic game, but I suppose I should […]
Amidst the first full day of Western Hemisphere-oriented World Baseball Classic games, spring training took the back seat, if not a full day off broadcasting. Despite no TV broadcast, Seattle was able to benefit from a handful of its young and less-seasoned players taking turns in the limelight. The 5-1 win for the Mariners featured […]
The Texas Rangers welcome the hated Seattle Mariners to Surprise for an Arizona-flavored AL West battle. RHP Jack Leiter will take the mound for Texas opposite fellow notable former first-round SEC hurler Kade Anderson. The lefty for Seattle is fresh off leading LSU to a championship last summer, while Leiter made his name with Vanderbilt […]
For many players and countries, the most important baseball of the year is going in earnest right now. The World Baseball Classic, which you can get caught up on the details of right here courtesy of Isabelle, is in its first full day, with games watchable on the various FOX/FS1/FS2 outlets, as well as free […]
Texas Rangers lineup for March 6, 2026 against the Seattle Mariners. Texas plays a spring game against the hated Mariners of Seattle this afternoon. Jack Leiter will be the starting pitcher for Texas. The lineup: Nimmo — RF Carter — CF Pederson — 1B Jansen — C Duran — 2B Canha — LF Helman — […]
While we’ve been getting a heavy dose of Mariners prospects this spring with so many players out at the WBC, there’s still a showcase event for prospects: the Spring Breakout games, a prospects-vs-prospects contest between two teams. Last year the Mariners matched up with the Guardians, including top prospect Travis Bazzana. This year, they’ve drawn […]
Hello friends and happy Friday! The Mariners took a generational spring training drubbing at the hands of the Padres yesterday, losing 27-6. It’s a bad day to be a reliever on the fringes of the big league roster. Are there any high-scoring games in either spring training or the regular season that you most fondly […]
Walker Buehler made his first start as a member of the San Diego Padres organization against the Seattle Mariners at the Peoria Sports Complex on Thursday. That was supposed to be the lead story of the game as Buehler, JP Sears and Triston McKenzie, who are all battling for the final spot in the San […]
If you missed today’s Mariners spring training game, well, that might have been for the best. This one got out of hand early when the Padres put up an twelve-spot in the second and didn’t improve from there. Of all the spring training games, this one was the spring trainingiest (so far). Luis Castillo got […]
Spring training doesn’t count, but the Mariners currently sit at 3-8 after losing again to the Giants last night. Spring training doesn’t count and also spring training doesn’t count, but it would sure be nice to bank another win, even if spring training doesn’t count. Lineups: Also slated to pitch for the Mariners: Casey Lawrence, […]
