Latest news and updates about the Mariners
The Houston Astros (6-8) are in Seattle (5-9) for the second game of a four-game series with the Mariners as they seek to end a five-game slide. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. will be on the mound for the Astros opposite RHP Luis Castillo and the Mariners. ABOUT MCCULLERS: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. is set to […]
Usually an offensive explosion to the tune of nine runs involves a lot of running, or at least jogging, around the bases. But I was fine with the Mariners walking around the bases instead last night. Tonight, they’ll have a trickier task. At least theoretically. Lance McCullers is scheduled to start for Houston, but given […]
Kade Anderson’s Double-A debut on April 3 went well enough: four innings, no runs, five hits, six strikeouts and a walk. The five hits he gave up were all singles, and two of those didn’t even leave the infield. But Anderson outdid himself in his second outing against Wichita Friday night. Anderson tossed five innings […]
Good morning folks! I hope you’re all having a pleasant Saturday. The Mariners partied on Friday night, taking down the Astros in an offense-happy affair 9-6. Believe it or not, Cole Young remains the Mariners’ top position player so far by fWAR. Do you believe in his performance so far? On the one hand, he’s […]
There’s an impenetrable, opaque blackness to this space. Devoid of the primary sense that humans rely on to orient themselves, you try to parse what information you can through your secondary inputs. Unfortunately, other senses provides no more insight. It is so painfully, crushingly loud here that you can’t be sure of the source of […]
Make sure to look back at the previous game thread and preview if you’re looking for game information. Otherwise, have at it here as we watch the back half of this game.
The Houston Astros (6-7) travel to the Mariners (4-9) this evening in Seattle in the first game of a three game series. Astros game three starterRHP Tatsuya Imai will make his thirdstart of the season for the Astros, this time opposite RHP Emerson Hancock and the Mariners. Friday’s TILT: The Astros and Mariners will play the first game of […]
After a very bad and nasty 1-5 road trip, the Mariners return home for a little 4-game set against their division arch-rivals, the Houston Astros. With the Mariners currently sitting in dead last in the AL West, a win tonight is greatly needed. Tonight also has the distinction of being both Ichiro Statue day and […]
Even in the midst of an ugly five-game losing streak, it’s still too early to panic about the Mariners’ place in the standings. It’s okay to be a little worried, however. There’s still more than 90% of the season left to play, but a sufficiently slow start in April can have an impact on the […]
Good morning everyone and happy Friday! The Mariners kick off the first of 13 games in a row today with a four-game homestand against the rival Astros. With several Mariners struggling through the first two weeks, this will serve as an opportunity to bounce back. Which player are you picking to right the ship during […]
There are very few baseball players capable of doing the things that Ryan Sloan does on a daily basis. At just 20 years old, Sloan has ascended from high schooler to consensus top 100 prospect in just 82 innings, supplanting himself near the top of pitching ranks over players with far more professional experience. A […]
Hello friends! The Mariners’ slide continued yesterday as the bats slept in during a 3-0 series finale loss to the Rangers. The team has gifted us with an off-day today, which hopefully helps them reset before they face the similarly-struggling Astros. Have you been keeping up with any other teams in the league so far […]
Rangers 3, Mariners 0
If the first dozen games of this Mariners season have felt derivative to you, that wouldn’t be misplaced. Dating back to 2023, Seattle has stumbled out of the gate, starting each season with a record of 4-8. Thankfully, in all previous three years, the M’s have bounced back, staunching the bleeding to win their next […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Seattle Mariners scored zero runs. We had ourselves a real Shed classic today with two good starters on the mound and runs at a premium. Zeros were traded between Texas’ MacKenzie Gore and Seattle’s Bryan Woo before the Rangers finally broke through with a crooked number inning […]
Today, the Mariners will attempt to avoid a sweep in this year’s first iteration of breakfast baseball. Yes, anything in the morning is considered “breakfast baseball”. No, I will not comment on whether I am actually eating breakfast at 11:35 in the morning. Coming off of four straight one-run losses, they’ll ask Bryan Woo to […]

The Seattle Mariners announced today that they have placed OF Victor Robles on the 10-day IL with a right pectoral strain. To take Robles’s place on the roster, the Mariners have selected INF/OF Connor Joe. Joe will wear #9, last worn by INF Ben Williamson. Joe, 33, is a journeyman player who’s been with several […]

Good day folks! It’s been a tough stretch for the Mariners, who fell again in a one-run contest to the Rangers to move their season record to 4-8. They’ll look to get back in the win column during a day game today against MacKenzie Gore, with first pitch at 11:35am PT. For those of you […]
Rangers 3, Mariners 2
There will come a period in this season when time unspools languorously, with the unobtrusive ease of a sport that plays a game nearly every day. The edges will soften, the agonies and exaltations abating in equal measure. You cannot sprint 162 times over. Now is not that period. Now, time does not unspool. Time […]

The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Seattle Mariners scored two runs. I have this impression that George Kirby is one of the greatest pitchers to ever live because I’ve mostly only ever seen him pitch against the Rangers and when Kirby pitches against the Rangers, he’s one of the greatest pitchers to ever […]
Fresh off the heels of their third consecutive one-run loss, the Mariners will dust themselves off and square up with the Texas Rangers for the penultimate game of the first road trip of the young 2026 season. Seattle will try to avoid the ignominious distinction of starting 4-8 through their first twelve games for the […]
