Good morning everyone, and welcome to the weekend! Though the Mariners lost to the Dodgers 10-7 in yesterday’s spring bout, we saw the first Cactus League homer of the year from Colt Emerson in the latest stages of the contest. It’s been a sleepy spring so far for the young infielder, but it’s good to […]

In the preview, I noted that Kade Anderson would face a real test with the top third of the Dodgers lineup tonight, and his results were like my typical attempts to pick up women: 0 for 3. Miguel Rojas led off with a double off the 410 marker on the centerfield wall. Anderson then tried […]

The Kade Anderson Revolution will be televised. Tonight’s match-up against the Dodgers will be broadcast on SNLA, and it’s an evening game, so you might even get to watch it. Of course, it’s up against the WBC Quarterfinals, so maybe your attention will be divided. The Mariners are mostly going with the B-Squad for tonight’s […]

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday. Emerson Hancock continued to look sharp last night, but the Mariners fell to the Cubs 7-4. If Hancock is indeed placed back into a starting role with Bryce Miller ailing, we’ll have to hope he can find some consistency out on the mound. My question for the day has nothing […]

Hello friends, this is another #Laterecap (#Latercap? What do we like?) as your lovely blogueuse (thanks, Duolingo) is en route back to Seattle. Today was my last day in camp, and I’m sad to be leaving just as players are coming back from the WBC, but also so happy to have gotten to connect with […]

With the news yesterday that Bryce Miller’s timeline will be delayed by at least a week, today’s Emerson Hancock start against the Cubs takes on a bit more significance. Hancock has looked sharp this spring, showcasing an improved sweeper and holding his velocity well; today he’ll be tasked to do so as a starter instead […]

Making his debut in our prospect rankings at #11, Dickerson and Tuesday’s entry Yorger Bautista were actually tied in our initial run through of our scoring system, though we opted to give the edge to Dickerson upon tie breaker. Last year’s fifth rounder, the former Indiana Hoosier is yet another high-upside play for the Seattle […]

The majority of the core that won the 2023 World Series is still present on the Rangers roster three years later. The unrelenting passage of time and the fragile nature of the human body has meant that, even though many of the names are the same, the talent level on this roster is much less […]

The WBC is tightening up as more teams are eliminated. Yesterday’s big game featured Italy demolishing Mexico 9-1, tossing all concerns about tiebreaker scenarios involving Team USA out the window. Italy has all the momentum of a runaway train right now. Meanwhile, Team Canada defeated Cuba to earn their first-ever berth in the quarterfinals in […]

Hello everyone! The Mariners continued their run as the Cactus League’s sad sack losers, falling prey to the Rockies in an 11-7 slugfest. The good news is Matt Brash made his spring debut and appears to be on track for an Opening Day return. If you were the Mariners, would you ever consider stretching Brash […]

If you take out the eight runs given up by Casey Lawrence in the final three innings, this game is a decisive win for the Mariners, and I invite you to live in that reality instead of this one, where the Mariners lose 11-7 to the Colorado Rockies, which even in Spring Training, feels embarrassing. […]

Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller, who hasn’t pitched in a game since the start of spring training with an abdomen/oblique injury, was scheduled to pitch a 25-pitch standard bullpen today as part of his rehab process. Instead, Miller’s bullpen was cut short after just a few warmup tosses, as Miller reported feeling tightness in the area […]

The WBC became a spicy meatball last night when Team Italy pulled off a stunning upset of vaunted Team USA, taking down the favorites in a game that went right down to the wire. Cal Raleigh did not play, but Gabe Speier contributed an inning of scoreless relief – although after the USA was already […]

Hello my friends, and happy Wednesday! The Mariners finally got themselves into the win column yesterday with a close 4-3 victory over the Royals. However, the big news of the day was that Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena had a supposed 24-hour beef. Allegedly, everything is OK now, but as of this writing we’re still […]

What exactly is the cost of a Mariners win. Certainly, it can’t be too expensive, right? Professional athletes work themselves out so hard everyday to grind out wins one-at-a-time, so you have to factor that in as an expense. Then there’s all the staff and coaches around keeping guys pointed in the right direction, their […]

It’s been an…interesting day around Mariners camp, today’s lineup notwithstanding. Righty Cooper Criswell gets the nod to continue making his case for a spot in the Mariners’ bullpen. Lineups: Also scheduled to pitch for the Mariners: Michael Rucker, Cole Wilcox, Casey Legumina, and Robinson Ortiz Roster moves: The Mariners re-assigned RHP Gabe Mosser, OF Jared […]

On the way up to the plate for his first at-bat in a pivotal matchup between 2-0 Mexico and 2-0 USA last night, Mariners left-fielder Randy Arozarena looked down to say hello to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh. Hoping for handshake or a quick dap, what Randy got back was nothing at all. After the […]

The Rangers led all of baseball in run prevention in 2025. Behind a full, healthy season from Jacob deGrom, a career-best and injury-shortened season from Nathan Eovaldi, and a big step forward from Jack Leiter, the starting rotation was among the best in baseball and the bullpen was deceptively deep. Even though the team led […]

Yesterday’s thrilling US-Mexico game was spoiled for many Mariners fans by the awkward interaction between Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena, which Nick will have a full piece breaking down with quotes from Dan Wilson later. For now, here’s a brief summary of what happened in Day 3 of the WBC, and a guide to watching […]

Last January’s premiere signing out of Venezuela, Bautista entered the system with high praise amongst scouts familiar with his game. Lauded as perhaps the highest ceiling player in the entire class, Bautista lay claim to potentially plus power, 70-grade run times, and a howitzer of an arm in the outfield. The only real thing missing […]

The Mariners fell just short in a 1-2 walkoff loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday, but starter Bryan Woo impressed through four innings with three hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. The Mariners will face the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 PM this afternoon as RHP Cooper Criswell takes the mound. With another […]

Kade Anderson’s fastball is neither fast nor shapely, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Anderson’s first two outings this Spring have been somewhat controversial. He’s earned rave reviews from the Mariners and the media, but the underlying data has lagged behind. Public “stuff” models are somewhat skeptical of his arsenal, and his vaunted fastball […]

At a time when his rotation-mates are relishing the opportunity, while their catcher is away at the WBC, to try out new tricks, Bryan Woo is dancing with the one that brought him. Woo looked sharp today in his third spring outing: his pitches were crisp, well-located, and thrown with conviction. He opened with a […]
