Arsenal are absolutely reeling right now, in desperate need of a win. Perhaps they are catching Newcastle United, a side with not much to play for really, at the right time. The Geordies, buried deep on the second page of the standings, also have a couple new injury concerns in Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento. […]

The A’s announced on Wednesday afternoon mere hours before their series finale against the Mariners that they were placing center fielder Denzel Clarke on the IL with a right foot bone bruise, with fellow outfielder Colby Thomas taking his spot: It’s a disappointing development for Clarke, who has gotten off to a brutal start at […]

Happy Wednesday A’s fans! Today the team vies for the sweep against the Seattle Mariners, aiming to extend its road winning streak to eight games. Entering this season, the Athletics offense was expected to be a potent bunch capable of striking for multiple runs at any point in the game and erasing early deficits created […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners fell yet again to the A’s last night, dropping the contest 6-2 as the offense struggles to find its footing. Where is your level of concern as we enter the late stages of April? Do you still think the team can turn it around and return to the caliber of […]
For my first recap at Lookout Landing, I signed up for a Tuesday Night Against the A’s, and Tuesday Night Against the A’s I got. The Mariners fell 5-2 on Tuesday night in what can only be described as a “tough one.” The bats just never got going for the hometown nine against Jacob Lopez, […]

The first place A’s took on the Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Jacob Lopez took the mound for the A’s against Luis Castillo for the Mariners. The A’s struck first against Castillo when Nick Kurtz led off the game with a walk and then stole second. He scored on a two-out double by […]
Fresh off a victory last night in Seattle, the first place A’s take on the Seattle Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park. The A’s have not sat atop the American League West Division since June 19, 2021. It’s early and hardly an opportunity for a parade since they are just one game over .500, but it […]
After coughing up a three-run lead in a loss last night, the Mariners hope to even the series against the Athletics Tuesday night. Luis Castillo gets the ball for the M’s, still in search of his first win of 2026 in his fifth start. With a 5.40 ERA this season, the results haven’t been on […]
Last week, I dropped a request in the FEED for all y’all’s hottest Mariners takes and you definitely served up some HEAT. Here is a handy ranking system: Blake Beaven = 1 star – a fine yet fairly tepid takeChris Bosio = 2 stars – workmanlike, solid, but not earth-shatteringHisashi Iwakuma = 3 stars – […]
The Seattle Mariners announced Tuesday afternoon that they have designated RHP Casey Legumina for assignment, recalling rookie RHP Alex Hoppe for additional bullpen depth. The move comes on the heels of a difficult outing for Legumina, but the righty had been reasonably effective in the early stages of the season prior to being tasked with […]
The Colorado Rockies announced this morning that they have claimed RHP Blas Castaño from the Seattle Mariners. In a corresponding roster move, they have DFA’d LHP Luis Peralta. Bas Castaño The 27-year-old pitcher is a native of the Dominican Republic signed with the New York Yankees in 2018 and began with their Dominican Summer League […]
Happy Tuesday! An uncharacteristic Emerson Hancock start and unfortunate, late-game bullpen meltdown resulted in a 3-6 loss for the Mariners against the Athletics yesterday. Luis Castillo will hope to get the Mariners back in the win column today as he takes the mound at 6:40 PM against Jacob Lopez. In Mariners news… Around the league…
The heart of the Mariners showed up early, but the heart of the A’s order showed up late. The Mariners lost 6-4 in Monday’s series opener against the Athletics. Emerson Hancock continued to look like the new-and-improved version of himself, but he also threw a few bad pitches and was eventually burned. Cal Raleigh and […]

The A’s came into Seattle on Monday evening and used some late-game offense to take the first of this three-game set. Back in the win column, and back atop the AL West with sole possession of the division lead. Ginn struggles early, settles in On the mound tonight starting for the A’s was right-hander J.T. […]
Have no fear! The rally bowl thread is here!
Road trip! The A’s have departed Sacramento to head north to Seattle, getting ready to take on the division-rival Mariners for a mid-week three-game set. The A’s at 11-11 are tied for the AL West lead so a win tonight would be huge since Texas is off today. A win this evening and the Athletics […]
The Mariners will be without one of their biggest off-season acquisitions for at least the next week, placing INF Brendan Donovan on the 10-day IL with a groin strain. Donovan appeared to suffer the injury in Friday’s series opener against the Rangers, a game where he had to make multiple tough plays on bunts. Will […]
Thomas Nestico of TJStats broke down the top WAR player currently on each team by position and by division. Today, we are going to look at the catcher position: Yainer Diaz hasn’t just been the worst catcher on his team. He isn’t just the worst catcher in the AL West. He’s tied as the worst […]
It’s hard to place all that much importance on an April series against a division rival, but the Mariners series win over the Rangers last weekend was pretty important. Not only did it serve as a reset after a tough stretch of games — not unlike the Astros series a few weekends ago — it […]
Good morning! The Mariners secured a series win yesterday against the Texas Rangers behind another strong pitching performance. Starter Bryan Woo’s final line of six strikeouts, four hits, one walk, and two runs through seven innings held the Rangers scoreless until the seventh inning, and three Mariners home runs provided key run support in the […]
Mariners 5, Rangers 2
Bryan Woo came to the ballpark seemingly on a mission today: to make the Rangers’ day miserable. So far this season, despite some solid performances, Woo has failed to notch a win, with three no-decisions and two losses. Today, he stepped on the hill, and, one inning aside, he looked as sharp as he has […]
