Jesús Montero and the tyranny of expectations

Former Mariners catcher and designated hitter Jesús Montero died last week after succumbing to injuries sustained when his motorcycle crashed into a truck in Caracas, Venezuela, on October 4. He was 35 years old. If you were a Mariners fan during Montero’s time with the team, this sad news probably brought back unpleasant memories of […]

BYB Roundtable: Who takes the 2025 World Series trophy?

The culmination of the 2025 Major League Baseball season is here, with the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the Toronto Blue Jays for this year’s World Series title. Of course, the Detroit Tigers were a part of the postseason action, but they faltered in the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners in a white-knuckle five-game series. […]

Thursday Tidbits:World Series Musings

Introduction I’ll be frank – this wasn’t the World Series matchup I was hoping to see when the playoffs began. I feel confident that I’m not alone in that feeling, especially within this fanbase. Personally, I would have preferred a Mariners-Brewers World Series and the level of disappointment and disillusionment here in Milwaukee is palpable. […]

Across the room, Justin Hollander also became overwhelmed with emotion while talking about the end to a Mariners season that came just short of a World Series run. Dan Wilson, true to […]

Thursday Morning Links

Morning, all! The Rangers traded for Jake Burger last year in the hopes to improve on their weak 2024 offense, but things didn’t exactly work out as planned. Burger is aiming to turn things around in 2025 after undergoing wrist surgery. We also have a podcast that asks if the Mariners were the perfect team […]

Tails never fails

The 2025 Mariners are no more.  I already wrote my season recap. I intentionally published it before the playoffs to feel like I could say something objective without the benefit of hindsight. The playoffs are random, if you hadn’t heard. They’re a short series of coin flips. The best player in MLB can lose. The […]

Four Down Territory: Seahawks play with their food, almost choke on it

To ease the pain of all Mariners fans, the Seattle Seahawks came out flying on Monday Night Football in the first 20 minutes, before trying everything possible to give the game to the Houston Texans. Despite their efforts, the Seahawks held on for a 27-19 win, climbing to 5-2 on the season. I won’t say […]

WS Blues: Dark Blue David Takes On Light Blue Goliath

And then there were two. Unsurprisingly the Los Angeles Dodgers are representing the National League and from a near flatline pulse the Toronto Blue Jays marooned the Mariners en route to their first World Series appearance since 1993. Pundits have quickly dismissed the series as a formality in which the Dodgers will female dog slap […]

There’s some crying in baseball

I was seven years old when I had my heart broken for the first time. Funnily enough, it wasn’t by the Mariners. The year was 2001. The Mariners had lost in the ALCS the year before, but I was too young to understand what that meant. My brain must have undergone some maturation that winter […]

Dear Tim (again)

Hey Tim, Last time I wrote* was to exalt. Today it’s in desolation. Mariners baseball, huh? Last night, your Seattle Mariners lost Game 7 of the ALCS to the Toronto Blue Jays. I refuse to get into bullpen management discourse with you again, but suffice to say that it was a heartbreaker. That’s kind of […]

It’s time to move past the 2017 Astros sign-stealing scandal

Halfway through Game 7 of the American League Championship Series between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, I finally, finally got the chance to sit down and watch some baseball. At the time, Seattle led. But I didn’t care who wound up winning—I’d be rooting for the winner of this game in the World […]

Evaluating Detroit’s 40 man roster going into the offseason

With the Detroit Tigers’ season officially over at the hands of the Seattle Mariners, it’s time to take a slightly too early look at some upcoming roster situations. Our very own Patrick covered the offseason timeline as a whole here, so I won’t be getting into too much detail there. Instead, I’ll skip straight to […]

More On Last Night’s Game: Bullpen Choices

We have five days to talk about last night’s game (and I won’t get tired of doing that). The Mariners had their own bullpen usage controversy. Seventh inning. Bryan Woo has given up a walk and a single. With the addition (I spelled that addison at first) of a bunt, the Jays had the tying […]

Tuesday Morning Texas Rangers Update

Good morning. The inherent and powerful loser energy of the Seattle Mariners was on full display last evening against a team that walked into ALCS Game 7 with their star player wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater. The Leafs, mind you, are on a record-tying seven consecutive NHL playoff game 7 losing skid. Vladdy Jr. […]
