Mariners 2026 Spring Breakout Preview

The annual Spring Breakout game has arrived! A relatively new feature to the MLB spring training schedule, the spring breakout is a prospect-only bout pitting one organization’s best against another, providing fans an easy way to get familiarized with the team’s top farmhands. The Mariners have one of the more potent rosters in the league […]

Six degrees of Diego Seguí to celebrate a 6-4 Mariners win

What a silly, precisely Spring Training baseball game. In celebration of the Mariners’ six-run seventh inning, we’re going to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon but with a Mariners twist (duh). I bandied about six degrees of Jerry Dipoto (yawn), six degrees of Jack Zduriencik (grim and boring) and six degrees of Alex Mayer (compelling, […]

Mariners Spring Training Game #26: Open Game Thread

A week from today the Mariners will be playing a game that counts, and the Cactus League will fade away into obscurity for another year. For now, though, we have a matchup against the A’s. Rhylan Thomas was initially scheduled in center field, but a late scratch has forced Luke Raley to cover and Rob […]

AL West Preview – Astros Prognosis, Orbiting the Drain

The Astros aren’t dead yet.  It felt like the AL West would run through Houston forever. The Astros won seven consecutive division titles in non-COVID seasons, collecting three pennants and two World Series’ trophies between 2017 and 2024. Few teams had ever been more successful, and few teams had ever been more relevant. They were […]

Mariners Prospect Rankings #9 SS Nick Becker

The lone high school talent taken by the Mariners last July, Nick Becker makes his LL organizational prospect debut at #9, beating out Tuesday’s entry Griffin Hugus by a healthy margin and setting the foundation of what we’d consider the upper echelon of present prospect pedigree. Hailing from the state of New Jersey, the cold […]

Mariners win 7-3 behind big day from Luke Raley

Emerson Hancock had 70ish pitches to work with today and made them last for 3.2 innings – not as efficient as one would hope. He had to dance around some trouble right away, loading the bases in the first on three singles, but was able to work out of the trouble by striking out Reese […]

Mariners Spring Training Game #25 Game Thread

It’s a preview of the Spring Breakout game as the Mariners take on the Brewers in Peoria. Emerson Hancock gets the start as he continues to eye an Opening Day slot in place of the injured Bryce Miller. Lineups: Julio back! Julio back! Injury news: J.P. Crawford saw Dr. Kenneth Meister yesterday for his injured […]

Venezuela wants it more, defeats USA 3-2 in World Baseball Classic stunner

The game meant more to Venezuela. One of sportswriting and broadcasting’s most wizened, decrepit shorthand takes. Every game is meaningful at the highest levels, the sport too onerous and skill-specialized to draw success for many who cannot muster daily effort. If a victorious will alone were the separator, David would not have merited memory in […]

AL West Preview – Astros prospects, the fun part

This might be the easiest, low-stress, high-joy article I write this season. It’s just so much fun to research the Houston farm system. It’s kind of hard to even come up with sections or headers for this one, so let’s just jump into it.  Baseball America: 27th in organizational rankings, 0 Top-100 prospects (hell yeah) […]

Mariners Spring Training Game #24 Game Thread

It’s split squad action today in Peoria and at Salt River Fields. Both games are televised, so choose wisely. Don’t get too attached to this Josh Naylor graphic; he was a late scratch. Luis Suisbel is now in the lineup, batting ninth and playing first base. Also scheduled to pitch in this game: José A. […]

World Baseball Classic 2026 Semifinals recap and Final preview

The bars might be full of St. Patrick’s Day revelers dressed in green today but there should at least be a corner of baseball fans ready to see the US take on Venezuela in the finals of the WBC tonight. Venezuela earned a trip to the finals in a hard-fought battle against Team Italy yesterday […]

AL West Preview – Astros Pitchers, Hunter Brown and the Boys

Since their first World Series run in 2017, the Astros have produced, traded for, and developed a huge amount of pitching talent. From Cy Young winners like Dallas Keuchel and Gerrit Cole, to future Hall of Famers like Zack Greinke and Justin Verlander, the Astros have had no shortage of pitching excellence in their domination […]

Mariners Prospect Rankings #10, RHP Griffin Hugus

A lot has changed for Griffin Hugus since joining the Seattle Mariners organization. Drafted in the third round for slightly under slot value, the University of Miami product checked every box of a “Seattle Mariner starting pitcher”. With an athletic 6’2 frame and a full arsenal of offerings at his disposal, Hugus paired intriguing underlying […]

AL West Preview – Astros Position Players, on the rebound

The Astros seem like they’re reaching the end of their decade-long contention window. They missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, ending a run of dominance that included seven division titles, four AL pennants, and two World Series championships. Instead of restocking their roster with a bunch of high profile moves, […]

Mariners News: Julio Rodriguez, Brendan Donovan, and Bryce Miller

Good morning! The Mariners defeated the Cincinnati Reds yesterday 6-3 with another solid George Kirby outing. His final line after 4 2/3 innings pitched included two runs, seven hits, one walk, and four strikeouts. There is no game today as the players will get a break from live game action. With Team USA’s win in […]

Mariners Spring Training Game #23

If you’re interested in a little amuse bouche before tonight’s semi-final WBC game between the DR and US, the Mariners are playing an exhibition game against the Cincinnati reds this afternoon. George Kirby gets his third Cactus League start, where he’ll hope to round into cleaner form. Keep an eye on him between pitches to […]

World Baseball Classic 2026 Quarterfinals Pt. 2 Recap & DR/USA Preview

The field was halved Friday in the WBC, and once again Saturday, with a pair of impressive games and historic milestones for national baseball in Italy and Venezuela. Yesterday’s matchups and how the Mariners performed: Italy 8, Puerto Rico 6 The caffeinated fairy tale continues. Facing the ace of Team Puerto Rico in Royals starter […]
