Last night wasn’t fun, but the Athletics have a chance to flip the script this afternoon in Game 2 of this weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians. The A’s are still in first place even after last night’s loss but we got the Mariners hot on our heels so let’s keep them at bay with […]
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners lost a late-game thriller to the Royals last night 7-6. Hopefully things turn around soon for Bryan Woo, because we’re going to need him. Importantly, today is Randy Johnson jersey retirement day! What is your favorite Big Unit memory from his time with the M’s? In Mariners […]
Tonight’s match was about the closest you can get to playoff baseball on May 1. Bryan Woo and Cole Ragans are both considered aces on their staffs, though you might not know it from how they performed tonight, and each took home a no-decision. There were multiple lead changes, and the bullpens were tested to […]

We should be in store for an excellent pitching matchup tonight as Cole Ragans faces off against Bryan Woo. Weirdly, I can find no evidence that Woo pitched on Saturday or was injured or ill, even though it was his turn in the rotation. But he’s basically picked up this season where he left off, […]
The Royals obviously had a very rough month of April, finishing 12-19. They’re still only 3.5 games back of their division leader, though, so if April showers bring May Flowers and the Royals’ talent that many expected would carry them to a competitive season started blossoming, now would be a great time for that to […]
Just an hour after Mariners GM Justin Hollander gave his weekly injury update saying the team hadn’t made a determination about a Matt Brash IL stint, the Mariners announced they have placed Brash on the 15-day IL with right lat inflammation. The injury designation isn’t entirely a surprise, despite Hollander’s optimism regarding the injury itself […]
Mariners GM Justin Hollander met with the media ahead of this week’s homestand to provide updates on injured Mariners. Obviously, the question at top of mind for most Mariners fans is what the latest is on reliever Matt Brash, who had to leave Wednesday’s game with an apparent injury to his side. Brash had an […]
Last fall, the Mariners fell one win short of winning the first American League pennant in club history. They returned this spring with high expectations, bringing back first baseman Josh Naylor and trading for on-base machine Brendan Donovan. They dropped 15 of their first 25 games, but are starting to heat up, winning six of […]
For all the consternation about the Mariners’ slow start in April, they wound up finishing the month with a .500 record thanks to two straight series wins on the road. Despite sitting a game and a half behind the A’s in the division, FanGraphs gives Seattle coin flip odds to win the AL West (54.4%) […]

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! The M’s are on national TV tonight with an Apple TV broadcast on tap for the series opener with the Royals. The Apple TV broadcast has long been my favorite of the national TV presentations. Which ones have you been impressed with so far in 2026? In Mariners news… […]
This discussion comes off the heels of the Mariners win on Sonday night over the Cardinals. The game was noteworthy for Rob Refsnyder’s big pinch-hit home run in the top of the ninth, and the manner in which it came about. Refsnyder watched a pitch about three inches off the plate called for strike 2, […]
With just about twenty percent of the MLB season completed, the A’s remain atop the American League West Division by one game over the Seatle Mariners. It’s the slimmest of leads and with so munch of the season still to go, it’s still a meaningless position. So, looking back what do you think is the […]
G’day everyone and a happy Mariners off-day to you! Cole Young was the hero once again yesterday in a 5-3 come-from-behind win over the Twins. The M’s closed out April with a clean 16-16 record. All things considered, I’m pretty satisfied with that (especially after a rough start to the year). How are you feeling […]
Much is made about the so-called ‘sophomore slump’ in sports — you never know how a young player will respond as their opponents do anything and everything in their power to adjust to their game. After a slow start over the first couple of weeks, Cole Young has stabilized, and then some. It’s only fitting […]
The Mariners won Wednesday’s series finale against the Twins, giving them a 5-1 record on the road trip, but suffered a potentially serious loss in their bullpen. Matt Brash departed Wednesday’s game against Minnesota after throwing just two pitches with what manager Dan Wilson called “discomfort in his side.” Brash entered with the game tied […]

Not a great way to kick things off in the return to Seattle.
Rise and shine, M’s fans! It’s time for some breakfast baseball. Despite all the trials and tribulations of the early going, the Mariners enter Wednesday with a golden opportunity to end the month of April with a .500 record. Standing between them and that record is the Minnesota Twins, who, after getting off to a […]

After Brendan Donovan went down with injury, many Mariner fans had the reasonable expectation that Colt Emerson would be his replacement. Fresh off of a record-breaking extension that pays him like an established big leaguer, the M’s instead opted for Will Wilson, a journeyman infielder with minimal production under his belt. Though the allure of […]
Hello folks and happy Wednesday! The Mariners bats came alive yesterday as the team feasted on the Twins’ bullpen to the tune of a 7-1 victory. In particular, it was a great game from second baseman Cole Young, who is beginning to round into form offensively with a .278/.352/.407 slash line heading into today’s action. […]
Josh Naylor, Julio Rodríguez and Cole Young each collected three hits in the Mariners 7-1 win over the Twins Tuesday. The Mariners’ lineup picked up 12 hits in total, including five for extra bases, in what wound up being a comfortable win. But the game wasn’t so comfortable early. Joe Ryan started for the Twins […]
