Griffin Jax had to be scratched with elbow discomfort, while Taylor Walls was removed from the initial lineup still dealing with back soreness. The loss of Jax (and hopefully not for too long) changed the strategy shifting towards a full on bullpen game. Combine that with […]

Well, this could be awkward. The Mariners will take another step in the never-ending Hell that is the 2026 season. They lost last night, two solo homers to one. The lineup continues to look lifeless, and the pitching has been the worst in the majors for weeks now. This is a very bad baseball team […]

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners may have lost a sleepy 2-1 game to the Rays yesterday, but the Alumni Home Run Derby provided plenty of fun as former Mariner Stefen Romero took the crown, defeating Austin Nola in the final round. But truly, has there been a more fun moment this season than […]
Bullpen woes hit the Tampa Bay Rays hard to begin the 2025 season, but by season’s end, despite a 77-85 regular season record, they had MLB’s 12th best reliever ERA at 3.81 and tied for the third-lowest WHIP at 1.23 alongside the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago Cubs. Numbers of that quality and caliber wouldn’t have […] The post Kevin Kelly Is Re-emerging as a Rays Bullpen Weapon appeared first on Just Baseball .
The good news is that the Mariners weren’t shut out. A last-gasp Julio Rodríguez solo homer helped the 2026 Mariners avoid making some ugly history, on a night when the Mariners opened the celebration of 50 years of the franchise. The bad news is that they might as well have been, with another lifeless offensive […]
The Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners kicked off a three-game set in Seattle on Friday night and the pitching matchup that featured Drew Rasmussen and Logan Gilbert did not disappoint.

Sometimes you’re the broom, sometimes you’re in the dustpan. After sweeping the Kansas City Royals in a three-game series, the Colorado Rockies found themselves on the other end, dropping three straight to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rockies enjoyed a nice Thursday off after the homestand and will try to turn their fortunes around under […]
The Seattle Mariners are making a change before Friday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Mariners marketing machine has been building the hype for this weekend’s festivities for months, but I’m finding it extremely difficult to get excited about a team that seemingly has no interest in actually winning their games. Getting shutout twice against the Tigers — a team that sold at the trade deadline — was a […]

And, of course, J.P. Arencibia—playing in his first MLB game—hit two home runs and went 4-for-5 with a double. At […]

The Tampa Bay Rays took a look at their American League competition and then took a look in the mirror. They quickly came to the conclusion that they were the best team in the AL. They have proved it throughout the season. The Rays are in first place with a 68-46 record — just one-half […] The post Rays’ biggest mistake after 2026 MLB trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Yankees fell in lackluster fashion on Wednesday, scoring just a single run en route to a 3-1 loss. Will Warren wasn’t as sharp as his previous outing, but when your offense is as hard-pressed as the Yankees’ lineup is to score multiple runs in a rally you’d have to be in phenomenal form to […]
