They won their last 2 games against the Seattle Mariners for a come-from-behind series victory, making that their 3rd in a row. With the gritty Tampa Bay Rays and division rival Philadelphia Phillies […]

Tacoma Rainiers The Rainiers found some success for the first time in a while this week, snagging five of six against a very solid Albuquerque team. It’s been a brutal stretch of baseball recently for this Tacoma team, so managing to string together some W’s is an awesome sight to see. A rehabbing Cal Raleigh […]

The Mariners open up a six-game homestand on Tuesday, and two key names figure to be returning from the 10-day injured list.

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 […]

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’ […]

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 […]

The Seattle Mariners have been named as a perfect trade for a new outfielder. Considering their lefty expectations entering 2026, the Mariners have been somewhat disappointing so far this season. Nevertheless, they are still sitting in first place in a lackluster American League West. At the moment, Seattle is the only team in the division […]

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 […]
