ALN: J.P. Crawford, a Star
It’s a common misconception that we can’t see the stars during the day because the Sun is too bright, the relative luminosity of our proper-noun Sun overpowering the distant, cold light of the rest of the galaxy’s stars. It seems intuitive – the human eye is limited in the range of the light spectrum it […]
Mariners Game #162 Preview and Discussion: 09/27, ANA at SEA
Today, we’ll test one of the great questions in our beautiful game. Jimmy got this wrong, of course (as he did so many things). There is so much crying in baseball. I don’t know that I’ll cry for Randy—it still feels like a dream that he ever even became a Mariner. But for sure, I […]
Mariners News: Josh Naylor, Justin Verlander, and Jesús Luzardo
The Mariners won last night. I didn’t watch it. I haven’t watched them in a while. They let me down this year. It’s not the first time they’ve done that, but it’s definitely the worst. I’ve seen that writing on the wall before, and I didn’t watch these last few games because I couldn’t bring […]
A better world, a special outfield, an 8-4 Mariners win
Starting in centerfield for what is all but assuredly his penultimate game with the Seattle Mariners, Randy Arozarena carried Randyland with him once again. I wonder what goes through his mind. I often wonder this, in fairness, whether it’s while hopscotching away from 2-0 pitches, filling out a bingo card as he rounds the bases […]

Mariners Game #161, Preview and Discussion: 9/26/26, SEA vs. LAA
Autumn beckons. The chilly rains of Friday night kept Seattle’s bats cool and offered little comfort to Bryce Miller as he struggled through another disappointing outing, hampered at every turn by his dismal defense. Tonight’s penultimate affair has rookie LHP Kade Anderson on the hill, hopeful to finish his season strong and bully another below […]
The devil in the details of Julio Rodríguez’s 2026 season
Julio Rodríguez has a new favorite phrase in English, one he said a couple of times at a pregame media availability on Friday: the devil’s in the details. Interestingly, it’s a newer phrase, not appearing in Bartlett’s until the latter half of the 20th century, likely as a permutation on a saying most notably linked […]
Mariners News: Andrés Muñoz, Rick Rizzs, and Shohei Ohtani
Good day friends, and welcome to the final weekend of the regular season. Last night the Mariners fell short in their comeback effort, dropping a 7-5 game to the Angels. The M’s will play in their last night game of the year this evening with first pitch set for 6:40 pm PT. In Mariners news… […]
Mariners commit defensive sins in 7-5 loss to Angels
[Ed. note: if you don’t know the show Derry Girls and the wonderful character Sister Michael, I suggest you remedy that forthwith. It’s much more entertaining to watch than this game, I promise.] Well, apparently you have some atoning to do, because somehow you’ve arrived here at the 2026 Mariners season, watching a fruitless game […]

Mariners Game #160, Preview and Discussion: 9/25/26, SEA vs. LAA
After some sloppy defense and less-than-ideal pitching (what else is new, amirite?) sunk the Mariners last night, they’ll have another chance to deal the Angels their 99th loss of the season. Please, baseball gods. We are asking for so little at this point. Lineups: If you groaned upon seeing Weston Wilson and Leo Rivas round […]
Cal Raleigh brutally blunt about failure of 2026 Mariners
Anyone who watched the 2026 Mariners could easily point to areas where the team failed, but Cal Raleigh, meeting with the media on Thursday, was unflinching in his assessment of what went wrong this season. “I think there’s a lot of areas you can point to. I think ultimately, I think it was a lack […]
Mariners News: Josh Naylor, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Luis Castillo
Good morning folks and happy Friday. The Mariners were officially eliminated from playoff contention yesterday with the Rangers boxing them out in a 3-1 win over the Mets. The M’s also lost in a 6-4 contest to the Angels. With that, we officially turn our gaze towards what will likely be a long offseason. In […]
Mariners play slopball, lose sloppy game to Angels, 6-4
“When there’s nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire” – Stars, “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” “When there’s nothing else to fight for, let me fight for this” – Bryan Woo, on fighting to stay in a little too long in tonight’s Mariners game, a sloppy 6-4 loss to the Angels. I’m […]

Mariners Game #159 Preview and Discussion: 9/24/26, SEA vs. LAA
At long last, the math has said no. With the Rangers’ 3-1 victory over the Mets this afternoon, the 2026 Mariners’ postseason hopes have been snuffed out. There will doubtlessly be thousands – if not hundred of thousands – words spilled this autumn and winter about where, how, and why it all went wrong, but […]
Seattle Mariners eliminated from 2026 playoff contention
Though the title of this article was true days, even weeks ago, with the 3-1 victory of the Texas Rangers over the New York Mets Thursday afternoon, the Seattle Mariners have officially been eliminated from the 2026 postseason race. The shockingly disappointing club will finish 3rd in the American League West, failing to defend their […]
Brock Rodden placed on IL with patella tendon inflammation, Leo Rivas recalled
The final series of the season for the Seattle Mariners will be without one of their rookie utilitymen. INF Brock Rodden was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 23rd, with left patella tendon inflammation. Correspondingly, Seattle activated INF Leo Rivas to fill the role for the final weekend of the regular season. […]
Series Preview: Mariners (74-84) vs. Angels (60-98)
Technically, there’s a miniscule chance the Mariners could sneak into the playoffs. They’d need to win out and both the Rangers and Astros would have to lose out. That would give all three teams a 78-84 record and Seattle would take the division via a three-way tiebreaker. FanGraphs thinks the chances of that happening are […]
Find the helpers: Checking in with Josh Naylor at the end of year one
Last night’s walk-off win aside, it hasn’t been an ideal first year for Josh Naylor in Seattle after joining the team at the trade deadline last year for a thrilling run to the playoffs, followed up by signing the largest contract of his career this off-season: a contract that represented stability for Naylor, who is […]
Mariners News: Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge, and Jackson Holliday
Good morning everyone! The Mariners won a thrilling 6-5 extra-innings contest against the rival Astros last night. The team’s final series of the season begins tonight against the Angels with first pitch set for 6:40pm PT. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Mariners Live, Beat Astros 6-5 in Extras
The 2026 season refuses to die. Josh Naylor walked off the Astros 6-5 in the 10th inning on Wednesday to keep the Mariners longshot playoff hopes alive. The Mariners entered the bottom of the inning down a run, but drew three walks to force the Manfred Man across to make it 5-5. Naylor followed with […]
