Latest news and updates about the Mariners
After a rousing review of everyone’s favorite Mariners conspiracy theories last week, I decided to come back to a familiar topic: how much we, as Mariners fans, dislike the rest of the AL West. I asked everyone rank the other AL West teams from most hated to least hated in order to get the pulse […]
Tony Vitello has put together 60 different batting orders in 77 games with 8 different lead-off hitters so far this season. The Giants have had four different players log at least 40 plate appearances at the top of the order, which along with the Seattle Mariners, is the most across the Majors. There are plenty […]
Being the highest-paid player on a Major League Baseball team seems like a sweet gig, minus the pressure. Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers are thriving, while others struggle.
The Red Sox had a chance to finish off a sweep of the Mariners on Sunday, but missed opportunities throughout the afternoon led to a 3-1 defeat.
After three straight seasons in Seattle with ERAs in the mid-3.00s, with solid WHIPs and strong strikeout rates, Luis Castillo has taken a step backward this season at the age of 33. He sports a 5.22 ERA. Castillo has been bumped from the top 5 in the Mariners' rotation, bouncing back and forth to the bullpen. But there's enough credit on his resume, with nine previous seasons of strong work at the top of pitching staffs, that teams should be looking to capitalize on the situation ...
A day after being left behind by some more lefty pitching from the Red Sox, the Mariners righted the ship and escaped being swept by Boston thanks to the righteous contributions of three of their lefties: Dominic Canzone (actual lefty), Cole Young (actual lefty), and Logan Gilbert (spiritual lefty). Gilbert – who does everything except […]
In the game thread, I joked that if the Red Sox were going to get hot, now would be the time to do so. They’re heading to Colorado next for a three-game series with the Rockies, the only team in baseball with fewer wins than the Red Sox. After that, they have a four-game series […]
Mariners 3, Red Sox 1 Hoppy Poppy: Logan Gilbert, .21 WPA Sad Dad: Cal Raleigh, -.09 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
The Mariners will try to avoid a sweep today at the hands of the Red Sox, who have stacked three lefty starters to force the Mariners into using their weaker right-handed lineup. It’s also Father’s Day. Pregame the Mariners were wearing these Taylor Swift Eras tour-inspired shirts. Most featured the Moose as the central image […]
The Philadelphia Phillies are continuing their search for outfield help despite an unexpected offer from Bryce Harper. Harper told the Phillies he would be willing to temporarily move back to right field if doing so would help the club acquire a right-handed bat before the trade deadline., according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Philadelphia, […] The post Phillies rumors: Philadelphia shuts down Bryce Harper’s eye-opening offer amid trade buzz appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Sunday! The Mariners lost another clunker to the Red Sox last night, once again falling back to .500. They will look to avoid the sweep at 1:10pm PDT today. In Mariners news: Around the league:
Today’s loss to the Red Sox left much to be desired, but it started out promisingly enough. Emerson Hancock was clean the first time through the order, picking up four strikeouts, three of which came because a Red Sox hitter left the bat on his shoulder. The rearranged left side of the infield even made […]
One night after Ranger Suarez dazzled with a one-hit gem in the series opener, the Red Sox turned to fellow left-hander Connelly Early on Saturday. While he wasn’t as overpowering, Early delivered a strong outing, earning his third quality start of the season as Boston defeated the Mariners, 5-1, in Seattle.
The Baltimore Orioles have placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the 7-day concussion injured list after he was struck in the head by a throw during Thursday’s game against the Seattle Mariners. This is Rutschman’s second trip to the injured list this season after he previously missed time from April 11-21 due to left ankle inflammation. […] The post Orioles’ Adley Rutschman lands on 7-day IL with concussion appeared first on ClutchPoints .
What’s up, West Coast friends? It’s late, and I’m a little bit tired, so we’re going to do a good old-fashioned live blog today where I type my delirious thoughts in real time and publish them unfiltered. The rest of this piece will be those thoughts. Enjoy. 10:06 PM: There are children next door screaming. […]
Red Sox 5, Mariners 1 Even Steven: Alex Hoppe, +0.0o WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
After taking until the seventh inning to record their first hit last night, the Mariners will look to bounce back today. They’ll pin their hopes on Emerson Hancock, who’s looking to bounce back himself. His last start was his roughest of the year so far, surrendering nine hits and six runs to just three whiffs […]
If Boston is pulling the plug, they could get a king's ransom for the best reliever on the market.
The Boston Red Sox’s injury concerns continue to mount, as veteran infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa revealed he will undergo an MRI on his sore left forearm after experiencing increased discomfort. Kiner-Falefa was originally scheduled to be in Boston’s lineup in the series opener against the Seattle Mariners on Friday, but he was removed shortly before first […] The post Red Sox star Isiah Kiner-Falefa shares injury update before Mariners game appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Mariners announced that outfielder Curtis Washington Jr. was outrighted to A-level Everett after clearing waivers. There wasn’t any public indication that Washington had also been designated for assignment when he was optioned back to Everett earlier this week, but the outright now opens up a spot on Seattle’s 40-man roster. The 26-year-old Washington was […]
The Seattle Mariners couldn’t have come closer to their first World Series than they did a year ago. They went to Toronto for Games 6 and 7 in last year’s American League Championship Series needing one win to earn the pennant. That victory never came and the Mariners were left watching the World Series between […] The post Mariners’ perfect trade offer for Red Sox’s Aroldis Chapman appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anticipating a high pitched squeal of “Julio Rodriguez drops the ball!!!!” and a reprise of the most magical season since Billy Martin rode his starting pitchers 14 innings. There is only one 2012 season and 2026 is unlikely to match it in any way, shape, or form. But the […]
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners bats struggled to get going last night against the Red Sox, with left-hander Ranger Suárez tossing six no-hit innings in a 6-2 M’s loss. The squad will try to get back into the win column tonight against young lefty Connelly Early. It’s looking like a sunny Father’s […]
In front of a sell-out crowd of 45,775 on fireworks night on a day the stands were packed with Red Sox and World Cup fans alike, the Mariners fizzled out, dropping the opening game against Boston in dismal fashion. By the ninth inning, a loud “let’s go Red Sox” chant had erupted, with the only […]
The Mariners – Red Sox kick off a series today with two dueling pitching strategies. The Red Sox, knowing how left-handed heavy the Mariners are, will be starting a trio of lefties, causing the Mariners to make a roster move to get more right-handed (read more in the “roster move” section). Meanwhile, the Mariners will […]
