Latest news and updates about the Mariners
After a heartbreakingly close loss last night, the Mariners will look to avoid losing their first series of the season today against Cleveland. Emerson Hancock will make his season debut for Seattle. Thanks to Zach Mason, who accidentally wrote this preview for Hancock when he’s actually recapping Castillo’s start against the Yankees tomorrow. All mine […]
Tonight’s Mariners game won’t be just their Sunday Night Baseball debut; the team will also debut their new Steelheads uniforms, created to honor the short-lived Negro Leagues team located in Seattle. The Mariners are the first MLB team to feature a historic Negro Leagues uniform as part of the club’s standard uniform rotation. The black […]
Having had a while to process last night’s 6-5 loss against the Guardians, I have determined that as far as losses go, I’m pretty okay with this one. Yes, there were incredibly frustrating things: the bullpen coughing up a key run after some questionable decisions, the utter lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, […]
I’m gonna keep it real with you guys, I worked consecutive eleven hours days this weekend, so I’m actually pretty stoked about the Mariners playing on Sunday night, because I’m just not willing to commit to getting out of bed for 1:10 game at this time. The Mariners hosting the national audience has led to […]
The Mariners picked up their first singles of the season but couldn’t get much action until too late. The Mariners entered the ninth inning Saturday with six hits and six walks and just two runs to show for it. They trailed the Guardians 3-2 when Cole Young leadoff the inning by plopping a a soft […]

The Mariners and Guardians will go for history Saturday in just their third game of the season. The Mariners do not have a single yet. They are the first team ever to not have a single in their first two games of a season. There have only been nine instances in history where a team […]
The Mariners won their first game of (hopefully) many, it’s a glorious Saturday and today our beLLoved LLinks master gets married! Ders has been writing here for 12 years, while also doing things like high school graduation, college graduation, broadcasting around the country, getting engaged and now, literally today, perhaps even at this very minute […]
Tonight’s game started off on a sour note, with another first-inning bomb from Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter, already his third on the season. It seemed to foreshadow a replay of last night’s loss. But the next batter flipped the vibes, as Cole Young went full extension to corral a hard-hit grounder from Jose Ramírez and […]

The Mariners made their first in-season roster move today, placing RHP Carlos Vargas on the 15-day IL with a lat strain and recalling RHP Cole Wilcox from Tacoma. In December 2020, the Padres acquired Blake Snell from the Rays in a high-profile trade that sent highly-ranked prospect Luis Patiño, catchers Francisco Mejia and Blake Hunt, […]
Opening Day festivities are in the books, but unfortunately so is loss number one. It will not be the only loss the Mariners accrue this year, but hopefully it’ll be the last one for a while. To repeat yesterday’s introductory material for new readers, in addition to our analysis and commentary, Lookout Landing will feature […]
The Mariners announced today that RHP Carlos Vargas is going on the 15-day IL, retroactive to March 24, with a right lat strain. The lat issue must have cropped up suddenly, because Vargas was on a relatively regular schedule this spring, appearing every 3-4 days. His last appearance was in the spring training finale against […]
At the time of his drafting, the sentiment surrounding Luke Stevenson as a Mariner was polarized. On one hand, landing a first round catching talent with a pick they essentially received for free felt like a massive gift. On the other hand, Stevenson had an unprecedentedly low contact rate for someone getting drafted as early […]
Good morning friends! My apologies for the late links post this morning — I forgot to get someone to cover me, so here I am throwing something up here quickly! I hope everyone had a delightful Opening Day, even though the Mariners lost 6-4. Are we ready to anoint Dominic Canzone the American League MVP […]
For an offense that was supposed to add more contact and on-base ability this off-season, it was a disappointing showing from the Mariners on Opening Day in front of a sold-out (as announced by the Mariners) crowd. The Mariners hitters combined for 14 strikeouts, scoring all their runs on solo homers. They only had two […]
Guardians 6, Mariners 4 Opening Day festivities: Dominic Canzone, .23 WPA Opening Day fartivities: Gabe Speier, -.31 WPA Game thread comment of the day: It was not the most fun Opening Day game, but always remember:
Apologies for the late thread, I went out to say hi to staffers John and Isabelle who are in attendance at the game tonight. Luke Raley hit that game-tying nuke just as I got up so maybe now that I’m sitting down again we can have another, this time a go-ahead one.
Good job, everyone. We technically got to 615 comments on the first thread before the first pitch was thrown in inning number two. Take that, Pinstripe Alley. Now on with more Opening Day!
After the shortest off-season, the Mariners are back in action tonight, playing games that actually count. That means we here at LL are also back with our daily trio(+) of stories about the day’s game: a game preview with starting lineups and all the info you need to know pregame as well as an open […]
When Cole Young came to big-league camp last year, the expectation was that he’d get reps with the big-league roster before returning to Tacoma to continue his development. Instead, Young was pressed into service after Ryan Bliss went down with a torn bicep muscle in April and the Mariners were unwilling to test Jorge Polanco’s […]
