Good morning! The Mariners embark on their first off-day of Spring Training today, with the team getting a break in live game action. Which player has stood out to you the most after the first week and a half? In Mariners news… Around the league…
The Mariners lost today’s game against the Rangers, 9-4, and are now 3-6 in spring training, which will happen when half your roster is off at the WBC. But despite the absence of regulars, today’s game offered plenty of intrigue for those who know where to look. Before he left for Team USA, Cal Raleigh […]
Today the Texas Rangers travel over to Peoria, AZ where they will take on the reigning AL West champion Seattle Mariners who are fresh off being just a handful of outs away from the World Series before heartbreak last October. Texas will send LHP Jacob Latz to the mound opposite RHP Logan Gilbert for Seattle. […]
Happy Sunday! Major League Baseball games that count will be played this month. Logan Gilbert is on the bump today, and Ryan Sloan will make his spring debut. It’s a good day. Lineups: The players have officially departed for their World Baseball Classic teams, leaving us with a lineup that won’t be the Opening Day […]
Happy Sunday everyone! It’s becoming a bit of a pattern for the Sunday links to prominently feature Kade Anderson. I wonder if that will end next week. I honestly hope not. The kid is so electric he has me wondering about other undeniable spring standouts and which of them ended up turning out the best […]
Jackson Merrill and Nick Schnell each hit two-run home runs to help the San Diego Padres get a 7-1 win over the Seattle Mariners at the Peoria Sports Complex on Saturday. The Padres avenged the loss to the Mariners in the Cactus League opener. JP Sears had a strong bounce back performance, lasting three innings, […]
Don’t call it a debut. Since his family didn’t come to see this, Kade Anderson says his first game action as a member of the Mariners’ organization doesn’t count as a debut. But whatever noun you use to describe it, the adjective is “impressive.” Using a fluid, repeatable delivery, Anderson sat 94-95 with his fastball, […]
Jackson Merrill capped a five-run bottom of the second inning with a two-run home run to left-center field that put the San Diego Padres ahead of the Seattle Mariners, 5-1. It was the second hit of the day for Merrill, who also reached on an infield single in the bottom of the first inning. The […]

Today’s Cactus League game features the Mariners facing off against their Peoria sister squad Padres for the second time this Spring. The headline is that Kade Anderson, the third overall pick of the 2025 Draft, starts for Seattle. These will be his first pitches in game action since joining the organization. Anderson throws from the […]
Hello friends, and welcome to the weekend! Last night the Mariners dueled in the desert with the fearsome Snakes, losing 3-1 in what Kate aptly described as a snoozer. Speaking of sleep, I’m coming to you live after finally getting a decent night’s rest. I am a pretty picky sleeper. Not on purpose, mind you. […]
It’s another latercap, brought to you by my charming inability to plan ahead and impetuous decision-making, which has led to me sitting in the parking lot of this Peoria Lowe’s using their free wi-fi to push out a recap of a 3-1 Mariners loss to the Diamondbacks that will be as stale as old coffee […]
It feels so good to be back to doing recaps! Was a long offseason. Today was a picture perfect spring training evening in Peoria. The Dbacks took on the Mariners for their first night game of the season under a picturesque Arizona sunset. What a night for baseball. The Dbacks pitching tonight shined against the […]
Last time I was at Peoria Sports Complex, I was getting a COVID shot. Wasn’t yesterday either. Weird what sticks in your mind. Anyway, tonight sees the D-backs heading over for a potential get-together with Josh Naylor, who signed a long-term contract – 5 year, $92,500,000 – with Seattle. Though it’ll be a little odd […]
As Spring Training hits its stride and the Mariners move past their first week of games, Luis Castillo — La Piedra — takes the rock for the first time in 2026. Castillo, despite an up-and-down regular season, was an absolute hero during the postseason and we are all looking forward to seeing what he has […]
Happy Friday! We’ve got a whopping seven games of Mariners Spring Training under our collective belts and it’s high time to foolishly prognosticate! Here are some prompts: Sound off in the comments, make some BOLD and outlandish predictions, and let’s get ready for another 3 weeks of practice baseball. Go Mariners.
Gooooood morning friends! Happy Friday. Yesterday, the Mariners staved off a late-game surge by the Guardians, pulling out a close 8-7 victory. I received live play-by-play updates via text for this one from my dad, who, like many of you, makes a regular pilgrimage to the Phoenix area this time of year. My conversation with […]
This recap is late because it is being typed out on the bar of a lovely establishment in Twin Falls, Idaho, called Scooter’s. I am on my way to spring training and listened to this game – even though it was televised – while driving up and down various mountain passes. This country hilly as […]
It’s Bryce Miller’s turn to make his spring debut. Like his rotation-mates, Miller is a tinkerer, but he’s also pretty faithful about posting on social media, so we’ve gotten to see his off-season progression as he’s been working away, seeming to focus especially on slider shapes. Obviously we’re going to be watching to see where […]
After a dominant 2025 season across two separate levels, Tyler Cleveland joins our Mariner prospect ranks at #15 this season. Given a boost thanks to recent departures from the system, Cleveland represents the last of the true relief types on our list and carries some of the highest floor of any prospect in the back […]
Howdy everyone! The Mariners certainly uh….played a spring training game yesterday, tying the Royals 8-8. It’s still that period of Cactus League play where almost literally nothing that happens matters and only like 30% (don’t quote me on that) of at-bats taken or pitches thrown are by people who will meaningfully contribute to the MLB […]
If you planned on killing some time this afternoon by watching some Mariners Cactus League baseball – or more enticingly, Bryan Woo’s first outing of 2026 – you were out of luck. For the first time this spring, we were confined to the narration of Rick Rizzs, Gary Hill Jr., and Charlie Furbush, with some […]
The Royals take on their biggest rivals in baseball today – the Seattle Mariners. Noah Cameron makes his Cactus League debut. Does he actually have to “win” a rotation spot? Kameron Misner is in the lineup – he’s been up five times this spring and has yet to put the ball in play with two […]
After yesterday’s wild 12-10 loss to the White Sox in which they used eleven (!) pitchers, the Mariners jaunt over to Surprise to take on the Royals, and Bryan Woo will make his first start of the Cactus League. Other than Rob Refsnyder getting his first look in the outfield of the spring and Cole […]
When the Seattle Mariners delivered the final rock to the windshield of the Angels organization in late summer of 2023, they sunset anything approaching justified contention in Anaheim for seasons to come. Unfortunately for Orange County, the Angels had shaken their purse and raided the couch cushions year after year. Some of that has come […]
