The Seattle Seahawks begin their voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs) next Tuesday, bringing us another step closer to a new NFL season. With Seattle retaining so many players from its Super Bowl championship season, then adding more talent through the draft, this is going to be an extraordinarily difficult process to get from 90 to […]
The Mariners continue to maintain a comfortable, arms length distance away from .500 after a miserable loss in Kansas City last yesterday. The gang will try for a series win this morning at 11:10 am PST. In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
In Today’s Links: Happy Sunday, y’all. Gonna keep this one short and sweet. Just get up in here. Eat up the few bits of news from yesterday’s cycle. Enjoy. Get your chores done. Have a nice one. Thanks for being here. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Burning Down the House by Noah Hawley & Jeff Russo Seahawks […]
In today’s game thread, I wrote that Stephen Kolek’s second-best career start probably came against the Mariners last September, and we might need him to do even better if they were going to win today. As it turned out, they probably didn’t need him to be quite that good, but he absolutely was anyway. Things […]
The Mariners did not score, and they did not win. The Mariners dropped game two of their series in Kansas City on Saturday by a score of 5-0. They collected just four hits — three from Luke Raley — and drew one walk, allowing Stephen Kolek to work through all nine innings with ease. The […]
Royals 5, Mariners 0 Good: Luke Raley, +.07 WPA Bad: George Kirby, -.22 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
The Mariners will look to make it back-to-back series wins Saturday. George Kirby takes the mound for the Mariners. He’s looking to bounce back after a shelling against the Padres last week. Kirby has been good overall this year with a 3.54 FIP, but he’s done it in a weird way, with a career-low strikeout […]
Well, the Royals won’t be getting a series sweep against the Mariners this time. But perhaps they could still win the series and begin to right the ship that is their rapidly sinking season. If they can do it, a lot will depend on the offense finally getting going again. But it will also depend […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Saturday! We apologize for the programming delay. The Mariners played a surprisingly normal game in Kauffman Stadium last night, winning 2-0 over the Royals. What does the quintessential “normal” baseball game look like in your mind? In Mariners news: Around the league:
When the Rams played the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football in Week 16, it wasn’t just the biggest game of the entire NFL season up to that point. The contest also ended up having the weirdest two-point conversion, the most insane ending, and having the biggest significance of any regular season game in 2025. Had […]
In Today’s Links: more on Beau Stephens and his chances of starting for our beloved Seattle Seahawks, how our squad sleeps, Seahawks fans from around the globe, the long snapper gets some flowers, and a little bit more. Happy Saturday. Hope you all are well. Thanks for being here. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Hessa by El […]
One of the biggest questions surrounding the Seattle Seahawks draft entering the weekend was whether the team would add an EDGE defender — or at least when they would finally address the position. Seattle brought several edge rushers in for top-30 visits, but even after turning four picks into eight through trade-downs, Seattle never selected […]
If you had “a tidy 2-0 victory in Kauffman Stadium” on your mind tonight, no you didn’t. The amount of nonsense in AL Central road games over the past few seasons has been enough for a lifetime, but no greater shenanigans have taken place than here. There was the 11-spot in 2022, its little sibling […]
The Royals had four hits tonight, all singles. Vinnie Pasquantino’s single in the first inning was the only hit they would have until the sixth. Bobby Witt Jr. struck out swinging in each of his first two at-bats. The Royals’ best chance to score came in the bottom of the eighth when Michael Massey led […]

As Seattle rolls into town, they’re having a really rough time. Even so, I think most Royals fans would trade places with them in a heartbeat. After coming so tantalizingly close to their first World Series appearance as a franchise last fall, the Mariners had a lot of expectations for this season. They even made […]
The Mariners begin a six-game road trip today in Kansas City and hope to find a little more consistency between series. The Royals swept the Mariners clean at home over three games. Since then, the Mariners have mastered the art of the “It’s so over/We are so back.” This team has put on such a […]
Major League Baseball's latest PED suspension will leave a young Seattle Mariners prospect with an 80-game ban. 21-year-old right-handed pitcher Jose Zerpa received the punishment after testing positive for Stanozolol.

If you’re up for some summer fun, several members of the Seattle Seahawks are gonna trade the gridiron for the diamond. It’s been announced that outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed will co-host the fifth annual annual Seattle All-Star Classic and home run derby at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma. “Anytime you can […]
Victor Robles is back again. The Mariners activated Robles from the injured list on Friday as the team heads to Kansas City to start a six-game road trip. Robles began the year in the majors but was placed on the injured list in early April with a right pectoral strain. The Mariners optioned Connor Joe […]
The Mariners fell one win short of their first pennant last year, and came into this season with high hopes for contention. Like the Royals, they have had a disappointing start. They seemed close to righting the ship a few weeks ago, nearly reaching .500. But a sweep at the hands of the Padres last […]
In early May last year, Bet MGM released their post-draft NFL Over/Under win totals for all 32 teams. Nine months later the Seahawks (7.5 projected wins) beat the Patriots (7.5 wins) in the Super Bowl. Neither team had even been projected to make the playoffs, much less play in the Super Bowl. But such are […]
Enigmatic Sounders fall flat at home.
After the sweep at the hands of the Padres last weekend, the Mariners managed to get things back on track a bit with a series win over the White Sox. Seattle hasn’t won back-to-back series since going 5-1 on their road trip at the end of April. They’ve been mired in an unfortunate rut, unable […]
Last offseason, the Minnesota Vikings were faced with a conundrum. With their first-round pick quarterback, JJ McCarthy, fully healed, they had to choose between sitting their future and rocking with journeyman Sam Darnold or betting it all on the sophomore’s shoulders. Everyone reading this knows they put all their chips in the McCarthy basket and […]
