Colin Rea threw four efficient innings Saturday night in Peoria, Arizona and the Cubs defeated the Mariners 7-1. Rea threw 77 pitches (50 strikes) and generally looked like the solid pitcher he was for the Cubs most of last year. He’ll be in a long relief/spot starter role to begin the season and he seems […]
Ryan Brasier needs a job. This is said to be a blister issue: There was some weirdness with the MLB.TV signal. Ended up watching the Mariners telecast. Game results: Cubs 7, Mariners 1. Cubs 7, Padres 5. Miscellaneous: *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on […]
If there was much to be seen in tonight’s game, it came early. Ironically, in a match up that was moved to the night time so as to mitigate the record heat wave scorching nearly the entire American West, the only things of major consequence came while the sun was still up. A sloppy first […]

Go get ‘em, Colin.
We are down to the closest representations of real regular season baseball that Spring Training has to offer. In a televised night game, Seattle is running out a largely-accurate lineup for their big league club, with their starters likely to go as long as possible and George Kirby making his final tune-up start before the […]

Hello friends and happy Saturday! The Mariners have been fully re-formed following the conclusion of the World Baseball Classic, and they celebrated by putting together their best performance of the spring in a 20-8 win over their soon-to-be Opening Day competitors — the Cleveland Guardians. With his two home runs, Cole Young is now third […]
So it turns out having a fully staffed team makes spring training games a little more fun to watch. The Mariners made Cleveland pitching miserable tonight, stacking a 10-run inning in the second that featured three home runs en route to a 20-8 victory, with most of those Cleveland runs coming in garbage time. If […]
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers’ top prospects prevailed in their first Spring Breakout game on Friday evening, as they beat the Seattle Mariners’ prospects by a 7-3 final behind a big homer and a solid day from the bullpen. With Bishop Letson on the mound, the Mariners got out to a quick lead in the […]
This afternoon’s Spring Breakout game probably had the majority of Mariners fans’ eyeballs on it, but the big club is winding down Cactus League play, with just three games remaining after tonight. The M’s will face off against the Guardians before opening the season against them on Thursday, although the pitching matchup this evening is […]
The Mariners prospects lost their Spring Breakout game today to the top-ranked farm, the Brewers prospects, 7-3. Offensively, the Mariners prospects did rack up some hits, but squandered run-scoring opportunities and failed to come through with clutch RBIs, outside of Lazaro Montes, who went 3-for-3 and drove in two of the Mariners’ three runs. Montes […]
The annual Spring Breakout game has arrived! A relatively new feature to the MLB spring training schedule, the spring breakout is a prospect-only bout pitting one organization’s best against another, providing fans an easy way to get familiarized with the team’s top farmhands. The Mariners have one of the more potent rosters in the league […]
Good morning and happy Friday, everyone! The Mariners triumphed in yesterday’s spring training ballgame against the A’s by a 6-4 final. We inch ever closer to Opening Day, with the Mariners kicking things off on Thursday against the Guardians. What are your plans for the opener? Will you be at the game, or will you […]
Now in its third year, MLB’s Spring Breakout games are set to take place this weekend across spring training locations. The Milwaukee Brewers will participate in two Breakout games with one scheduled for later today against the Mariners, and another set for Sunday against the A’s. Here’s a quick guide for fans heading into the […]
What a silly, precisely Spring Training baseball game. In celebration of the Mariners’ six-run seventh inning, we’re going to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon but with a Mariners twist (duh). I bandied about six degrees of Jerry Dipoto (yawn), six degrees of Jack Zduriencik (grim and boring) and six degrees of Alex Mayer (compelling, […]
A week from today the Mariners will be playing a game that counts, and the Cactus League will fade away into obscurity for another year. For now, though, we have a matchup against the A’s. Rhylan Thomas was initially scheduled in center field, but a late scratch has forced Luke Raley to cover and Rob […]
We got a night game folks! The Athletics are set to play host to their division rivals the Seattle Mariners tonight in one of the final games of spring, a sold-out crowd that is ready to see our A’s take the win. With about a week to go before Opening Day things are going to […]
The lone high school talent taken by the Mariners last July, Nick Becker makes his LL organizational prospect debut at #9, beating out Tuesday’s entry Griffin Hugus by a healthy margin and setting the foundation of what we’d consider the upper echelon of present prospect pedigree. Hailing from the state of New Jersey, the cold […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners are coming off a 7-3 victory over the Brew Crew thanks to strong performances from Emerson Hancock and Luke Raley, among others. Today is a big day in the sports world, as March Madness on the men’s side kicks off in full (and the women — including UW, Oregon, Gonzaga, […]
Emerson Hancock had 70ish pitches to work with today and made them last for 3.2 innings – not as efficient as one would hope. He had to dance around some trouble right away, loading the bases in the first on three singles, but was able to work out of the trouble by striking out Reese […]
Box Score vs. Angels, Box Score @ Mariners The Brewers dropped both ends of split-squad action today. At home, the “varsity” squad faced the Los Angeles Angels with Kyle Harrison the first guy on the mound. Harrison had to leave early because of a blister, but got beat up a little bit to the tune […]
It’s a preview of the Spring Breakout game as the Mariners take on the Brewers in Peoria. Emerson Hancock gets the start as he continues to eye an Opening Day slot in place of the injured Bryce Miller. Lineups: Julio back! Julio back! Injury news: J.P. Crawford saw Dr. Kenneth Meister yesterday for his injured […]
The Brewers are in split-squad action this afternoon against two of the teams alongside the Brewers near the bottom of the Cactus League standings. In one of the games, Milwaukee will send a group to play the Seattle Mariners, who are in last place with a spring record of 7-17, while the other half of […]
