The 2026 MLB draft cycle is officially under way! When: July 11 – July 13 Where: Philadelphia, PA TV/Streaming: MLB Network Top Mariners Selections: 24, 65, 101 After nearly running the draft lottery table and selecting top pitching prospect Kade Anderson with the third overall pick in the 2025 iteration of the MLB draft, the […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners are coming off one of their more satisfying wins of the season, with Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone leading the squad to a 10-2 victory over the Astros. Has Randy’s hot start to the season changed your mindset on whether or not the M’s should extend him beyond this season? […]
In what felt like an eternity in today’s pitch-clock era, Dominic Canzone waited over a minute-and-a-half before being allowed to step to the plate in the fourth inning Tuesday. Following J.P. Crawford’s four-pitch walk, the bases loaded were with nobody out, with a reeling pitcher on the mound struggling to find the strike zone. Astros […]
Mariners 10, Astros 2 Funshine Bear: Randy Arozarena, +0.27 WPA Grumpy Bear: Julio Rodríguez, -0.10 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
As we wait with bated breath for this very talented Seattle Mariners team to play up to their true talent level, I will continue to pose questions and prompts regarding anxiety levels surround various facts of the team. This week we’re discussing the most naturally anxiety-producing part of the team: the bullpen! I asked y’all […]
The Mariners and Astros face off in the second game of a four-game set tonight. Bryan Woo gets the ball for the Mariners with an eight-game win streak against Houston on the line. He’s coming off a bounce-back win in last Wednesday’s rubber game against the Braves, where he allowed only one hit and struck […]
Bryan Woo pitched the worst game of his career on April 25th and followed it up with another bottom-10 performance his next time out against the Royals. Combining the two outings, he struck out just three batters while surrendering 16 hits and six home runs. Six! So a lot of Mariners fans breathed a sigh […]
Good morning! A satisfying 3-1 win last night featured the Mariners’ eighth straight victory over the Houston Astros dating back to last season. A season-high seven strikeouts for starter George Kirby was supported by a few strong bullpen outings, and a solo home run from Julio Rodriguez highlighted the Mariners’ scoring. Bryan Woo gets the […]
Three runs of offense and five innings from a starter aren’t the typical blueprint for a Mariners win, but the bullpen – missing two of its leverage arms – made those three runs hold up in a 3-1 victory in the series opener with the Astros. This game got off to a frustrating start: the […]
Mariners 3, Astros 1 When Andrés Muñoz is happy: George Kirby, .17 WPA When Andrés Muñoz is sad: J.P. Crawford and Brendan Donovan, -.08 WPA Game thread comment of the day: I gotta go with BirdNerd’s time to shine. Thanks for making us all smarter! And BONUS CONTENT because it was too good to pass […]
After laying an egg the size of The Bean in Chicago (sorry, Cloud Gate, one day Anish Kapoor will be called to account for that particular boondoggle), the Mariners limp into Houston for an important AL West showdown. Today I learned Kapoor also has a related work in Houston, Cloud Column, which is basically Cloud […]
Over the weekend in Chicago, Ryan Divish reported that Domingo González was present in the visiting clubhouse in case José A. Ferrer’s wife went into delivery. Ferrer stuck around, working out of a bases loaded jam on Sunday unscathed, but he did not end up making the trip to Houston with the rest of the […]
The Mariners took another two steps backwards over the weekend after such a promising start to their week last week. The 12-run outburst on Friday was very good to see but to follow that up by scoring two runs total over the final two games in Chicago was a huge let down. It feels like […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma squandered a series split with an extra-innings loss in Sunday’s contest, dropping the six game set by a score of 4-2. Despite the loss, the series still managed to provide plenty of outstanding performances offensively, perhaps providing a glimpse at a few bats that could be up with the Mariners awfully soon. […]
Good morning! A frustrating 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox last night saw a Logan Gilbert gem erased in the eighth inning, and a lack of Mariner run support gave Chicago the series win. George Kirby will take the mound tonight at 5:10 PM in a new four-game series against the Houston Astros. The […]
Eduard Bazardo yielded the two runs the Chicago White Sox needed to beat the Seattle Mariners today. His 1-2 breaking ball to veteran OF Randal Grichuk floated over the heart of the plate like a miscategorized deluxe roll of conveyer belt sushi on the cheapest designated plate. Grichuk’s solo shot tied things at 1-1 in […]
White Sox 2, Mariners 1 Logan on the upswing: Connor Joe, .15 WPA (Sorry, I meant to have an additional category, but clearly the leader was Logan Gilbert, .39 WPA) Everyone who was actually swinging a bat today: Eduard Bazardo, -.53 WPA Game thread comment of the day: Fritz wants us to really dive deep […]
Oh whoops hey there’s baseball today isn’t there. Logan Gilbert gets the start for the Mariners. Davis Martin gets the start for the White Sox. Martin is a righty which means the Mariners will send their good lineup, with Brendan Donovan leading off in his second start back from injury. It’s a beautiful day for […]
Andrés Muñoz changed for some reason. It’s been a rough early going for the Mariners’ star closer. Muñoz has a 6.00 ERA and has already allowed more home runs (three) than he did all of last season (two). He’s been pinned with five “meltdowns,” or outings where his WPA was less than to -0.06 — […]
The Mariners lost a bummer of a game in Chicago yesterday but still have a chance at a series win tomorrow at 11:10 am PST. Happy Sunday everybody! In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
After a 12-run explosion yesterday, the Mariners couldn’t summon up a ton of offense, and their pitchers gave up three homers in a 6-1 loss against the White Sox. Luis Castillo couldn’t wiggle out of some first-inning trouble after giving up a leadoff single to Sam Antonacci on a fastball that came in at 95 […]
White Sox 6, Mariners 1 Giving up two two-run homers: Luis Castillo, -.22 WPA 18 whiffs: no one deserves praise, none of you are without sin Game thread comment of the day:
Baseball is so weird. Emerson Hancock pitched his poorest outing of the season yesterday and got a win after being handed a loss in what was probably the best-pitched game of his career last outing. And it was still one of the more normal games the Mariners have played in the Windy City, where things […]
Sniff deep, and you can nearly smell .500 once again. Seattle will seek a second consecutive series win this evening as the Mariners face off against the Chicago White Sox today at 4:10pm Pacific time on the usual locations. Seattle outslugged the ChiSox Friday night, in a recap you can enjoy here. In Mariners news… […]
Luke Raley’s done a lot of things in his career. He’s the rare Mariner who can both get to the third deck in right field and also routinely bunt for a base hit. He burst into fans’ hearts in 2024 by doing exactly that. But something he’s never done is hit a grand slam. At […]
