Latest news and updates about the Mariners
Good morning everyone and welcome to the weekend! The Mariners notched their first extra-innings win of the season yesterday in a 3-1 victory over the Angels thanks to strong pitching performances from Bryan Woo, Matt Brash, Andrés Muñoz, and Gabe Speier. It really is incredible to watch this M’s bullpen in action. Do you have […]
12 years before I was born, while Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were bemoaning broken glass, the Seattle Mariners were breaking bats. The M’s of 1982 were the club’s crowning achievement, a 76-86 assemblage that was, at the time and until 1987, by far the franchise’s most respectable showing. On a night where the […]
Seattle Mariners 3, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 1 Chicken katsu sliders from Marination: Brendan Donovan (+.07 WPA) Sweeping sliders from lefty pitchers against these Mariners: Julio Rodriguez (-.16 WPA) Game Thread Comment of the Day: We venerate and appreciate a dog who would’ve hated this game going long but we loved seeing be celebrated […]
J.P. Crawford is back in the lineup Friday as the Mariners begin their first road trip of the season. Crawford was activated from the injured list Thursday. He makes his 2026 debut in what very well may be his last season with the Mariners. Bryan Woo is on the mound and will look to build […]
Well, that series against the Yankees exposed some of the lingering issues with the Mariners roster, as currently constructed. Left-handed pitching is going to be a huge problem for this extremely lefty-heavy lineup throughout the season, and there really isn’t much relief in sight — J.P. Crawford is back from his brief IL stint but […]
Hello my friends and happy Friday! In case you missed it, the Mariners have activated J.P. Crawford from the injured list and he will be with the team today in Anaheim. I remember back in the day when the Mariners-Angels rivalry used to mean a whole lot more. Do you still consider the Angels to […]
J.P. Crawford is our shortstop… again… for now. The Mariners activated Crawford from the injured list on Thursday. He will join the team in Anaheim as they begin their first road tip of 2026. Crawford missed the first week of the season with right shoulder inflammation, which bugged him throughout Spring Training. It’s a precarious […]
Maybe you really need the off day. But if not, come chat with us for an hour this evening. (Hour and a half? Two hours? I know some of you will never log off—looking at you, Rusty.) I’d expect Mariners and baseball content to dominate, but anything goes (within the bounds of our community guidelines). […]
Jonny Farmelo’s professional career has unfortunately been defined by his absence. First battling a torn ACL, Farmelo missed the bulk of his debut season, cooling some of the momentum he’d built after a hot start had him rapidly ascending up prospect rankings. Opening last season late due to an oblique injury, he would again return […]
The Yankees wrapped up their second series of the year with another win, besting the Mariners 5-3 on the backs of another dominant Cam Schlittler start and some bombs from Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice. The rotation continues to put up zeroes, and Schlittler is making history with how few baserunners he’s allowed while striking […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners’ late comeback fell short yesterday as the team fell to the Yankees in the rubber match by a 5-3 final. We’ve now got our first M’s off-day of the season. What do you usually find yourself doing on an off-day for the club? Do you watch other baseball games, tune […]
As a wise giant once said: “it is happening again.” For the sixth time in seven seasons the Mariners carry a 3-4 record after their first seven games. This simply isn’t a roster that gets off to a hot start. And for reasons ranging from the sensible to the silly, that’s basically fine. For one: […]

After opening up the new season on a West Coast road trip, the Yankees are finally headed home this weekend. However before they do, there’s till one more game to finish up, as they’re set to play the Mariners one last time. The Yankees dropped the opener in Seattle on a Cal Raleigh walk-off, but […]
Lousy Smarch Weather! Hey look at that, no more March baseball, which really shouldn’t even be a thing. Now we’re playing in April, like the good baseball gods intended where it is also cold and rainy. Nevertheless, DAY BASEBALL on a WEDNESDAY! Let’s get into it. The Mariners had their first true stinker of a […]
Good morning everyone, and happy April! I’d like to thank everyone who passed along their congratulations for my wedding in the comments on Saturday — it meant a lot to me! And a thank you to the LL crew for covering me over the weekend. In case you missed it, the big news of the […]
Long-term deals for top prospects are all the rage. Yesterday morning, news broke of the Mariners and minor-league infielder Colt Emerson agreeing on an eight-year deal worth a minimum of $95 million, a record for player who has yet to make his MLB debut. This, just hours after reports emerged that the Brewers were nearing […]
The Yankees got exactly the response they needed Tuesday night, bouncing back from their first loss of the season with a 5-0 win over the Mariners in Seattle. After Monday’s frustrating walk-off defeat, New York handed the ball to Max Fried on normal rest thanks to Sunday’s rare offday, and the ace delivered exactly the […]
This was the matchup in the series the Mariners had the lowest percentage of winning (even while still being favored, apparently no one told the oddsmakers at FanGraphs the Mariners are suffering a bit of a limp offensively), but it was still pretty rough to watch. Max Fried outdueled Logan Gilbert, holding the Mariners scoreless […]
FanGraphs when they listed WPA to the thousandth: Julio Rodríguez, +.01 WPA FanGraphs now that they list WPA only to the hundredth: Logan Gilbert, -.19 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day: That game may have sucked, but the trans contingent of our community certainly does not. Love to you all.

The Mariners recorded their first walkoff win of the season last night and in narrative-pleasing fashion, it was Cal Raleigh who dealt reigning MVP Aaron Judge’s Yankees the loss. Ah, that’s the good stuff. The Mariners really needed that win because they have two rough draws for the rest of this series, starting with Max […]
The Yankees finally took one on the chin Monday night, as Cal Raleigh delivered the walk-off winner for the Mariners in Seattle. After opening the season with a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants, New York dropped its first game of 2026 in a frustratingly getting walked off in a 2-1 loss. It might […]
The Mariners surprised the baseball world today with the news of a record-breaking extension for prospect Colt Emerson. While much of the extension chatter has focused on the Mariners’ pitching core, the Mariners instead locked down the 20-year-old shortstop who has steadily climbed prospect lists since his draft year in 2022, when the Mariners took […]
Yesterday the Mariners’ Double-A affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, announced their 2026 roster, highlighted by the inclusion of the Mariners’ two top pitching prospects, Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan. That unfortunately doesn’t leave a lot of frontline starter talent for High-A Everett, but the AquaSox will still boast five of Seattle’s Pipeline Top 30 prospects, and […]
