Felix is ours.
The Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, is already underway (Max has the recap for you on Triple-A Opening Weekend here.) The Mariners’ Double-A affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, open up their season at home in Dickey-Stephens Park on April 7. Today the Travs announced their 2026 roster, and the big news is that the Mariners’ […]
Fresh off the heels of a big Opening Day weekend, the Mariners and KING 5 made a significant announcement this morning. Friend of the blog Joe Veyera had speculated on this two days ago after coming across a peculiar TV scheduling on April 10: And it all became official this morning: This is a pretty […]
Welcome back, prospect lovers! Whether you’re new to the minor leagues or a seasoned veteran, our weekly roundup of all that’s occurred down on the farm is a fantastic way to stay up to date on all the up-and-comers in the organization. Releasing weekly on Mondays! Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma started off the season with a […]
Walking away with two wins in four games against that very pesky and tough Guardians ballclub was a decent way to start the season. Even though the results didn’t exactly line up with their performance, there were a bunch of encouraging things we saw from the Mariners during Opening Weekend. The bottom of the lineup […]
Good morning! An incredible outing last night from starter Emerson Hancock led the Mariners to an 8-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians to wrap up their first series of 2026. Hancock recorded nine strikeouts over six innings with no hits, joining only Felix on the day of his perfect game as the only Mariners to […]
It’s spring but it’s definitely not spring training anymore, as 30,000 fans shivered through the Mariners-Guardians series finale before being rewarded by a convincing 8-0 win. It might have felt like spring training metaphorically though, as the runs stacked up for the Mariners, and Emerson Hancock carried his impressive spring into the chilly confines of […]
Mariners 8, Guardians 0 Crab nachos in a souvenir ferry boat: Brendan Donovan, .30 WPA; Emerson Hancock, .24 WPA Canned salmon on a soggy rice cake with a souvenir kick to the shins: Guardians starter Slade Cecconi, -.26 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day: Look, sometimes it’s best to just keep things simple, like […]
I hate to leave the old thread behind because it has a Hancock no hitter and six runs in it but needs must, sadly. Like AMPM’s horrifying mascot, there’s just too much good stuff. Except the wave that just started. Stop that. (Edit: it stopped.)
After a heartbreakingly close loss last night, the Mariners will look to avoid losing their first series of the season today against Cleveland. Emerson Hancock will make his season debut for Seattle. Thanks to Zach Mason, who accidentally wrote this preview for Hancock when he’s actually recapping Castillo’s start against the Yankees tomorrow. All mine […]
Tonight’s Mariners game won’t be just their Sunday Night Baseball debut; the team will also debut their new Steelheads uniforms, created to honor the short-lived Negro Leagues team located in Seattle. The Mariners are the first MLB team to feature a historic Negro Leagues uniform as part of the club’s standard uniform rotation. The black […]
Having had a while to process last night’s 6-5 loss against the Guardians, I have determined that as far as losses go, I’m pretty okay with this one. Yes, there were incredibly frustrating things: the bullpen coughing up a key run after some questionable decisions, the utter lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, […]
I cannot emphasize enough the degree to which I think lineup construction is overrated in the discourse relative to the difference it makes in practice. I almost don’t even want to post this. But even with that caveat, lineup construction doesn’t not matter, and I think we saw a mistake last night. So thanks to […]
I’m gonna keep it real with you guys, I worked consecutive eleven hours days this weekend, so I’m actually pretty stoked about the Mariners playing on Sunday night, because I’m just not willing to commit to getting out of bed for 1:10 game at this time. The Mariners hosting the national audience has led to […]
The Mariners picked up their first singles of the season but couldn’t get much action until too late. The Mariners entered the ninth inning Saturday with six hits and six walks and just two runs to show for it. They trailed the Guardians 3-2 when Cole Young leadoff the inning by plopping a a soft […]

The Mariners and Guardians will go for history Saturday in just their third game of the season. The Mariners do not have a single yet. They are the first team ever to not have a single in their first two games of a season. There have only been nine instances in history where a team […]
The Mariners won their first game of (hopefully) many, it’s a glorious Saturday and today our beLLoved LLinks master gets married! Ders has been writing here for 12 years, while also doing things like high school graduation, college graduation, broadcasting around the country, getting engaged and now, literally today, perhaps even at this very minute […]
Tonight’s game started off on a sour note, with another first-inning bomb from Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter, already his third on the season. It seemed to foreshadow a replay of last night’s loss. But the next batter flipped the vibes, as Cole Young went full extension to corral a hard-hit grounder from Jose Ramírez and […]

The Mariners made their first in-season roster move today, placing RHP Carlos Vargas on the 15-day IL with a lat strain and recalling RHP Cole Wilcox from Tacoma. In December 2020, the Padres acquired Blake Snell from the Rays in a high-profile trade that sent highly-ranked prospect Luis Patiño, catchers Francisco Mejia and Blake Hunt, […]
Opening Day festivities are in the books, but unfortunately so is loss number one. It will not be the only loss the Mariners accrue this year, but hopefully it’ll be the last one for a while. To repeat yesterday’s introductory material for new readers, in addition to our analysis and commentary, Lookout Landing will feature […]
