Well, that series against the Yankees exposed some of the lingering issues with the Mariners roster, as currently constructed. Left-handed pitching is going to be a huge problem for this extremely lefty-heavy lineup throughout the season, and there really isn’t much relief in sight — J.P. Crawford is back from his brief IL stint but […]
Hello my friends and happy Friday! In case you missed it, the Mariners have activated J.P. Crawford from the injured list and he will be with the team today in Anaheim. I remember back in the day when the Mariners-Angels rivalry used to mean a whole lot more. Do you still consider the Angels to […]
J.P. Crawford is our shortstop… again… for now. The Mariners activated Crawford from the injured list on Thursday. He will join the team in Anaheim as they begin their first road tip of 2026. Crawford missed the first week of the season with right shoulder inflammation, which bugged him throughout Spring Training. It’s a precarious […]
Maybe you really need the off day. But if not, come chat with us for an hour this evening. (Hour and a half? Two hours? I know some of you will never log off—looking at you, Rusty.) I’d expect Mariners and baseball content to dominate, but anything goes (within the bounds of our community guidelines). […]
Jonny Farmelo’s professional career has unfortunately been defined by his absence. First battling a torn ACL, Farmelo missed the bulk of his debut season, cooling some of the momentum he’d built after a hot start had him rapidly ascending up prospect rankings. Opening last season late due to an oblique injury, he would again return […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners’ late comeback fell short yesterday as the team fell to the Yankees in the rubber match by a 5-3 final. We’ve now got our first M’s off-day of the season. What do you usually find yourself doing on an off-day for the club? Do you watch other baseball games, tune […]
As a wise giant once said: “it is happening again.” For the sixth time in seven seasons the Mariners carry a 3-4 record after their first seven games. This simply isn’t a roster that gets off to a hot start. And for reasons ranging from the sensible to the silly, that’s basically fine. For one: […]

Lousy Smarch Weather! Hey look at that, no more March baseball, which really shouldn’t even be a thing. Now we’re playing in April, like the good baseball gods intended where it is also cold and rainy. Nevertheless, DAY BASEBALL on a WEDNESDAY! Let’s get into it. The Mariners had their first true stinker of a […]
Good morning everyone, and happy April! I’d like to thank everyone who passed along their congratulations for my wedding in the comments on Saturday — it meant a lot to me! And a thank you to the LL crew for covering me over the weekend. In case you missed it, the big news of the […]
This was the matchup in the series the Mariners had the lowest percentage of winning (even while still being favored, apparently no one told the oddsmakers at FanGraphs the Mariners are suffering a bit of a limp offensively), but it was still pretty rough to watch. Max Fried outdueled Logan Gilbert, holding the Mariners scoreless […]

The Mariners recorded their first walkoff win of the season last night and in narrative-pleasing fashion, it was Cal Raleigh who dealt reigning MVP Aaron Judge’s Yankees the loss. Ah, that’s the good stuff. The Mariners really needed that win because they have two rough draws for the rest of this series, starting with Max […]
The Mariners surprised the baseball world today with the news of a record-breaking extension for prospect Colt Emerson. While much of the extension chatter has focused on the Mariners’ pitching core, the Mariners instead locked down the 20-year-old shortstop who has steadily climbed prospect lists since his draft year in 2022, when the Mariners took […]
Yesterday the Mariners’ Double-A affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, announced their 2026 roster, highlighted by the inclusion of the Mariners’ two top pitching prospects, Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan. That unfortunately doesn’t leave a lot of frontline starter talent for High-A Everett, but the AquaSox will still boast five of Seattle’s Pipeline Top 30 prospects, and […]
Lazaro Montes, perhaps the single most powerful bat the Mariners have had in their minor leagues this decade, is a polarizing player within the scouting community. While many see his thunderous bat that launched 32 homers last season across two different levels and liken him to some of the great sluggers of our time, others […]
In an unexpected announcement Tuesday morning, Seattle Mariner top prospect Colt Emerson reportedly agreed to an 8 year, $95 million contract extension with the organization. The deal includes a ninth year club option as well as various escalators that can bring the total up to $130 million. Additionally, Emerson was granted a full no trade […]
Happy Tuesday! We were treated to our first walk-off of 2026 last night after a single from Cal Raleigh slipped past first base and scored Leo Rivas from third. Another stellar pitching performance featured six innings from Luis Castillo with no runs, two hits, and seven strikeouts. The bullpen largely did their job, and Matt […]
Even though the Mariners were winning most of the game, it still felt like they were going to have to win on a comeback, which they eventually did. The Yankees were dominating the ABS challenge system, and the Mariners had a few defensive miscues, driving all the focus to the Yankees’ half-innings. Meanwhile, despite putting […]

It’s giving Tormund Giantsbane:
The Mariners draw a tough opponent in their quest for their first series win of 2026. The Yankees of New York, New York look every bit the force of nature they’ve been the past few years, with Aaron Judge already climbing the home run leaderboard. In their attempt to win game one, Seattle will hand […]
