Felix is ours.
Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller, who hasn’t pitched in a game since the start of spring training with an abdomen/oblique injury, was scheduled to pitch a 25-pitch standard bullpen today as part of his rehab process. Instead, Miller’s bullpen was cut short after just a few warmup tosses, as Miller reported feeling tightness in the area […]
The Mariners take on the Rockies and their ace Chase Dollander today. Luis Castillo will take the ball for the Mariners. Also scheduled to pitch for the Mariners: Casey Lawrence, José Ferrer, Matt Brash, Carlos Vargas, Yosver Zulueta Injury news: Bryce Miller will throw a 25-pitch bullpen today as he continues to work his way […]
The WBC became a spicy meatball last night when Team Italy pulled off a stunning upset of vaunted Team USA, taking down the favorites in a game that went right down to the wire. Cal Raleigh did not play, but Gabe Speier contributed an inning of scoreless relief – although after the USA was already […]

Hello my friends, and happy Wednesday! The Mariners finally got themselves into the win column yesterday with a close 4-3 victory over the Royals. However, the big news of the day was that Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena had a supposed 24-hour beef. Allegedly, everything is OK now, but as of this writing we’re still […]
What exactly is the cost of a Mariners win. Certainly, it can’t be too expensive, right? Professional athletes work themselves out so hard everyday to grind out wins one-at-a-time, so you have to factor that in as an expense. Then there’s all the staff and coaches around keeping guys pointed in the right direction, their […]
It’s been an…interesting day around Mariners camp, today’s lineup notwithstanding. Righty Cooper Criswell gets the nod to continue making his case for a spot in the Mariners’ bullpen. Lineups: Also scheduled to pitch for the Mariners: Michael Rucker, Cole Wilcox, Casey Legumina, and Robinson Ortiz Roster moves: The Mariners re-assigned RHP Gabe Mosser, OF Jared […]
On the way up to the plate for his first at-bat in a pivotal matchup between 2-0 Mexico and 2-0 USA last night, Mariners left-fielder Randy Arozarena looked down to say hello to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh. Hoping for handshake or a quick dap, what Randy got back was nothing at all. After the […]
The Rangers led all of baseball in run prevention in 2025. Behind a full, healthy season from Jacob deGrom, a career-best and injury-shortened season from Nathan Eovaldi, and a big step forward from Jack Leiter, the starting rotation was among the best in baseball and the bullpen was deceptively deep. Even though the team led […]
Yesterday’s thrilling US-Mexico game was spoiled for many Mariners fans by the awkward interaction between Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena, which Nick will have a full piece breaking down with quotes from Dan Wilson later. For now, here’s a brief summary of what happened in Day 3 of the WBC, and a guide to watching […]
Last January’s premiere signing out of Venezuela, Bautista entered the system with high praise amongst scouts familiar with his game. Lauded as perhaps the highest ceiling player in the entire class, Bautista lay claim to potentially plus power, 70-grade run times, and a howitzer of an arm in the outfield. The only real thing missing […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners fell just short in a 1-2 walkoff loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday, but starter Bryan Woo impressed through four innings with three hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. The Mariners will face the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 PM this afternoon as RHP Cooper Criswell takes the mound. With another […]
Kade Anderson’s fastball is neither fast nor shapely, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Anderson’s first two outings this Spring have been somewhat controversial. He’s earned rave reviews from the Mariners and the media, but the underlying data has lagged behind. Public “stuff” models are somewhat skeptical of his arsenal, and his vaunted fastball […]
At a time when his rotation-mates are relishing the opportunity, while their catcher is away at the WBC, to try out new tricks, Bryan Woo is dancing with the one that brought him. Woo looked sharp today in his third spring outing: his pitches were crisp, well-located, and thrown with conviction. He opened with a […]
We’re back, and so is J.P. Crawford. The Mariners play the Diamondbacks in another rousing round of Spring baseball. Crawford is in the lineup and playing shortstop for the first time this Spring, after a slower start than usual while battling shoulder issues. Ryan Bliss and Brendan Donovan flank him on either side of the […]
Years ago, it was this exercise that sent me down a road of becoming mildly Rangers-pilled. This year, there is no such risk. If you are looking at the lineup and notable off-season moves and feeling lightly confused by the seeming absence of any clear strategy, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Led by beloved former […]
Sunday was a day of excitement and devastation for baseball fans around the world as teams fought to keep their WBC dreams alive. For some teams, their dreams end here, shattered on fields in Miami, Houston and Tokyo. For others, the journey has only just begun, and the competition will only get fiercer from here. […]
Good morning! The Mariners fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 3-6 yesterday, with their three runs coming from big homers by Leo Rivas and Brennen Davis. Starter George Kirby had many good moments but wasn’t completely satisfied with his outing, specifically the movement on his sliders. Kate highlighted yesterday that Kirby is now calling some of […]
After briefly flirting with a win yesterday the Mariners went back to their comfort zone today, losing 3-6 in Maryvale to the Brewers. All three of their runs came off homers: a two-run shot by Leo Rivas and a mammoth tank job by spring breakout star Brennen Davis. Lefty Kyle Harrison, Milwaukee’s big trade acquisition […]
While the line from George Kirby’s start against Milwaukee won’t jump off the page, Kirby himself was delighted in it – and not just because of how he pitched, effortlessly mixing his pitches so much that Statcast couldn’t keep up (those splitters? Changeups, actually. And the fastball clocking in at 94? A cutter.). But it’s […]
I have alarming news. Somehow, while I wasn’t looking, we passed the halfway point of spring training. Counting today’s game, only 15 games remain between Opening Day and [gestures at the smoking ruin of the 27-6 blowout against San Diego] whatever this is. It’s been a weird spring, with so many regulars gone with their […]
From dawn til dusk, yesterday made the most of daylight’s final savings with World Baseball Classic… classics all day long. Heartbreak for Nicaragua at the hands of piscine parent Ozzie Albies and the Netherlands. Puerto Rico defending their home turf to the last breath, with at least fourth-string shortstop Darrell Hernaiz sending San Juan into […]
Happy Sunday everybody! This morning I will be on the way down to Phoenix for a few days of Phoenix sunshine and Spring Training baseball! My phone battery is going to get worked to within an inch of its life trying to stream as much WBC as possible. Really looking forward to seeing the result […]
Boring is good. The Mariners lost to the White Sox on Saturday. It doesn’t really matter how because it’s Spring Training. That I have nothing more pressing to tell you is a good thing. Spring Training is meant to be boring. It’s practice. And practice baseball follows the same conventions for all news: if it […]
It started out as a joke: while Cal Raleigh is away, his pitchers will play. Cal’s clubhouse chair wasn’t even cold before Logan Gilbert made a start where he was throwing his cutter and sinker, two pitches his opinionated catcher does not like him to throw, as revealed in this in-depth analysis by Zach Mason. […]
