Hello folks and happy Friday! The Mariners offseason has unofficially begun now that Jerry and Justin have given their first offseason press conference. Let’s check in on the other news and notes from around baseball as the World Series prepares to kick off this evening. In Mariners news… Around the league… Anders’ picks…
The sting hasn’t worn off quite yet. “We’re still in grief mode,” said Mariners team president Jerry Dipoto at today’s end-of-season media availability. Across the room, Justin Hollander also became overwhelmed with emotion while talking about the end to a Mariners season that came just short of a World Series run. Dan Wilson, true to […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Thursday! We apologize for the delay for today’s Moose Tracks. In Mariners news: Around the league:
My first conscious memory of the Silver Slugger award was opening a pack of Upper Deck baseball cards and pulling out a Daryl Strawberry card (when he was on the Dodgers) with a Silver Slugger award logo in the corner. I asked my dad, “What’s a Silver Slugger?” and he probably said something like “oh […]
The 2025 Mariners are no more. I already wrote my season recap. I intentionally published it before the playoffs to feel like I could say something objective without the benefit of hindsight. The playoffs are random, if you hadn’t heard. They’re a short series of coin flips. The best player in MLB can lose. The […]
I was seven years old when I had my heart broken for the first time. Funnily enough, it wasn’t by the Mariners. The year was 2001. The Mariners had lost in the ALCS the year before, but I was too young to understand what that meant. My brain must have undergone some maturation that winter […]

Hey Tim, Last time I wrote* was to exalt. Today it’s in desolation. Mariners baseball, huh? Last night, your Seattle Mariners lost Game 7 of the ALCS to the Toronto Blue Jays. I refuse to get into bullpen management discourse with you again, but suffice to say that it was a heartbreaker. That’s kind of […]
I have a lot to say about this season, but for now, I will just say thank you to everyone who stuck with us during this long ride and never gave up. This is the best Mariners team I have ever witnessed in my 22 years of existence and I am forever grateful to share […]
It was always going to Game 7. The Mariners have given fans a magical ride this season, but they haven’t always made it easy. Whether extra-inning games, or late-inning heroics, or winning streaks followed by losing streaks, or pushing things to the make-or-break moments, the Mariners have been playing Game 7 in one form or […]

Well. It was never going to be easy.

One more “never been done before in team history” tonight; this is the first and last time we will say this: The Mariners are playing in their first-ever Game 7 of the ALCS tonight for the opportunity to go to the World Series. Regardless of what happens tonight, what a ride it’s been. Lineups: The […]
The fires are mild this summer. I know because we’ve journeyed east on schedule. It will be five years before my window for this time shrinks from a Carlos Vargas target to George Kirby’s. Five years til we go from seasons of adventure to a weekend in August, sandwiched between 80 of my baseball games […]

The Mariners will play in their first ever Game 7. The Mariners lost 6-2 on Sunday in a sloppy, bad ALCS Game 6. A shaky outing from Logan Gilbert and poor defense behind him allowed the Blue Jays to get out to an early lead. The lineup struggled to get much going at the plate […]

The Blue Jays will also run back their Game 2 starter, starting rookie Trey Yesavage. Gilbert didn’t have a strong outing against the Blue Jays in Game 2, getting bailed […]
