A lot of things went wrong in today’s 10-1 loss to the Nationals. You’d think so with a score like that. But the one I want to focus on is pitch selection. Emerson Hancock got the start today, and while he’s been having a breakout year, some people have been arguing that while he’s improved, […]
Talk about recapturing the vibes! The Nats have now fully put the San Francisco meltdown in the rear view mirror after taking the series against the Mariners with a 10-1 win. After the Mariners scored a run in the first inning, this was a comprehensive beatdown by the Nats. On the one year anniversary of […]
Nationals 10, Mariners 1 When you toss a game so bad we won’t list the highest WPA in the chart: Emerson Hancock, -0.33 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
The Milwaukee Brewers are finalizing their starting rotation plans for their next two series. Earlier today, it was reported that Jacob Misiorowski, who is coming off of a 15-strikeout, one-hit complete game shutout, will not pitch in the Cleveland Guardians series, which starts on Tuesday. Instead, that series will see the Brewers send Robert Gasser, [...]
The Mariners will try to wipe the slate clean today behind Emerson Hancock. He could use a great outing as much as the Mariners could use one from him. Since his first start in May, Hancock has looked less like a breakout star and more like a somewhat improved version of his old self. Over […]
While Dylan Crews only went 1 for 4 with a single yesterday, it still felt like he was in the middle of everything for the Nats. His impact in the field and on the bases was very loud in the Nationals 8-3 win over the Mariners. Crews pretty much sealed the win with his mad […]
Good morning and happy Sunday everybody! Nick links are back which means injury news is back too. I want to think it’s not my fault but the evidence is getting overwhelming at this point. I’m heading out of town for a week and I’m hoping that that can help stem the tide. I suppose time […]
It was a terrible first inning for the Mariners, in what would eventually be an 8-3 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. Cole Young flew out on the first pitch of the game. Julio Rodríguez struck out on the next three. And Josh Naylor popped out on the first pitch he saw. That’s right: Nationals’ […]
Nationals 8, Mariners 3 Day baseball nap: Colt Emerson, .17 WPA Day baseball nap, on the cap: Luis Castillo, -.37 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
After the historic meltdown in San Francisco, the Nats came out flat and the Mariners made them pay. Now they need to prevent things from spiraling out of control. A win today would be a great way to move on from that Giants loss. The Nats need Cade Cavalli to be a stopper. The Nats […]
The Mariners will play a real baseball game today. Yesterday’s game was delayed two hours due to rain, resulting in a purely non-competitive game in a mostly empty stadium. The Mariners won 10-2. Build a roof. The sun is out on Saturday in the nation’s capital, however, and the Mariners will have to play a […]
The Seattle Mariners continue chasing a World Series breakthrough, and Julio Rodriguez still carries lessons from last October. The Mariners star outfielder offered a candid reflection on the 2025 playoff loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, focusing on accountability instead of excuses. Rodriguez spoke with ESPN’s Mina Kimes about the final at-bat that ended Seattle’s […]

June is Pride Month, which means there are many LGBTQIA+ events to attend across the country. Sports leagues are also joining the celebration, most notably Major League Baseball. 29 of the 30 MLB franchises are hosting Pride Nights. At Pride events, teams often offer special ticket packages and exclusive swag, such as jerseys and caps.…
It’s another Saturday morning, which means we’re about to record a Meet at the Mitt episode. Look for it later in the day. We’ll be without the baritone of one Anders Jorstad, which is why I’m covering links. He enters Day 7 of his honeymoon, a career high for the young righty. The Mariners face […]
The Mariners are finishing out their long road trip with an interleague set against the Nationals and things got off to a tough start with a two-hour-plus rain delay, their second of the season (glares in the general direction of Minnesota). Rain delays historically haven’t been kind to the Mariners, but today they overcame the […]

East coast road trips to stadiums without roofs are the pits. Today’s series opener between the Mariners and Nationals will begin in a delay due to bad weather in the area. We’ll post the latest updates here as well as the general game preview information. If the game is played, this post will also serve […]
That loss to the Giants was absolutely brutal, but the great thing about baseball is that there are 162 of these games. The Nats will get a chance to bounce back as they kick off their home stand with a matchup against the Mariners. This team has been resilient all year, but this is a […]
The Nationals’ West Coast trip was a successful one, taking 2 out of 3 in both series and bringing themselves back over .500, but the way the final game of the trip ended, it felt like a disaster. After entering the bottom of the 8th inning leading 9-1, the Nats surrendered 10 runs in the […]
After a strong start to their series in Baltimore, the Mariners had to settle for a split series after two lackluster efforts on Wednesday and Thursday. That eight-game win streak a week ago is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Seattle’s overall place in the standings. It feels like the team has slipped back […]
Happy Friday! The Mariners suffered a 5-7 loss to the Baltimore Orioles yesterday, with a tough outing from starter Bryan Woo resulting in seven earned runs. The Mariners began a new series with the Washington Nationals this afternoon at 3:45 PM, with Bryce Miller taking the mound against RHP Zack Littell. In Mariners news… Around […]
The Seattle Mariners (36-34) have spent the last five years teetering between elation and heartbreak, so every key player must perform competently. Bryan Woo led the M’s in strikeouts and innings pitched last season, and despite suffering a pectoral injury late in the year, he was a huge reason why the franchise won its first […]
The post Mariners’ Bryan Woo is ‘tired of sucking’ after another disaster vs. Orioles appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Kyle Bradish and Bryan Woo could have given tonight’s national audience a pitcher’s duel, but that thought went out the window with the very first batter. The Orioles scored six runs in the third, Seattle countered with four runs in the fourth, but the O’s did enough to outlast the M’s 7-5 in the series […]
Orioles 7, Mariners 5 Cloudless blue sky and sunshine: Julio Rodriguez (0.2 WPA) Thunder, lighting and rain: Bryan Woo (-0.42 WPA)
Personally, I hate the series in Baltimore every year about as much as Andrés Muñoz. The weather sucks no matter what time of year it is, the Mariners never seem to score many runs (especially when George Kirby is on the mound for some reason), the injury bug always seems to bite in Oriole Park […]
