Dodgers bludgeon Mariners 6-2 with measuring stick
Baseball reminds us of our capacity for change. Not just incremental shifts that drip from the faucet at a glacially accelerating pace until one day they’ve reshaped the surface beneath them. Rapid, sudden changes in a sport notorious for its meandering heart. In roughly the time a new human being requires to gestate and be […]

Mariners Game #110 Preview and Discussion, 7/30/26: SEA at LAD
Yesterday, Ryan noted the Seattle Mariners had the chance to do something dumb. The option remains on the table tonight, particularly with Shohei Ohtani receiving a rest day. Against the resurgent Roki Sasaki and the Los Angeles Dodgers, assuming simplicity is simple-minded itself. But Bryan Woo is facing his greatest enemy, with nothing to do […]
Mariners News: Chase Silseth, Logan O’Hoppe, and Tarik Skubal
Good morning friends! The Mariners had yet another underwhelming offensive performance last night, dropping the middle game to the Dodgers 4-2. Given the complete inevitability of the Dodgers, is there any team you hate watching the Mariners play more than them? In Mariners news… Around the league…
Mariners lose to Dodgers 4-2
The Mariners lost another one of these. The lineup struggled for most of eight innings on Wednesday, before the bottom of the order scratched a run across in the eighth. They’d get another in the ninth. But the Dodgers lineup put tons of pressure on Emerson Hancock and the Mariners defense, eventually taking game two […]

Mariners Game #109 Preview and Discussion, 7/29/26: SEA at LAD
The Mariners have the chance to do something dumb tonight. After a month of terrible baseball and losing three-of-four to the Rangers over the weekend, it wouldn’t have been weird for the Mariners to get swept by the Dodgers. But the Mariners played an exceptionally entertaining game last night to narrowly take one from the […]
Mariners News: Emerson Hancock, Curtis Mead, and Casey Schmitt
Good morning everyone! The Mariners are coming off a much-needed vibes-cleansing 7-6 victory over the Dodgers thanks to some heroics by Dom Canzone and…Rob Refsnyder? Is this the turning point for the Mariners’ season, or just a brief moment of joy in a year mired in mediocrity? In Mariners news… Around the league…
Mariners Find Missing Pieces, Beat Dodgers 7-6
I’m no stranger to losing important things. “Severe” ADHD will do that to a person. I went through 14 student ID cards in college. I once lost my smartwatch for a year. I know exactly how much a replacement drivers license costs. In fact, just yesterday I found my wedding ring after several months, under […]

Mariners Game #108 Preview and Discussion, 7/28/26: SEA at LAD
The Mariners are looking at a get-right series against the 67-39 Los Angeles Dodgers. Fun Fact: The Mariners are currently on pace to reach 67 wins on August 31st. *puts hand to ear* I’m actually being informed that the fun fact was not even slightly fun. My apologies to those affected by this error. Lineups: […]
Series Preview: Mariners (52-55) at Dodgers (67-39)
That series in Arlington wasn’t a complete disaster thanks to that come-from-behind victory on Sunday, but the Mariners were pretty thoroughly outplayed by the Rangers over the last four games. That puts Seattle in a really tough position. The team clearly isn’t good enough as constructed — they’re also supposedly a buyer ahead of the […]
Are there further changes in store for these Seattle Mariners? Notes from an LL staff discussion
This past Sunday morning before the Mariners finally rose to the occasion and won one (1) game against their direct divisional competition the Texas Rangers, the LL Slack channel sprang to life with an impromptu and lively discussion on what further changes could be in store shortly if the Mariners continue losing games. What follows […]
Mariners News: Luis Castillo, Emerson Hancock, and Bryce Harper
With their 7-3 loss to the Texas Rangers yesterday, the Mariners now sit in third place in the AL West as the Rangers take control of first place with a two-game cushion over the Houston Astros. A new series against the Los Angeles Dodgers begins tonight at 7:10 PM with Luis Castillo taking the mound. […]

Mariners Game #107 Preview and Discussion, 7/27/26: SEA at TEX
After some late-inning heroics from Dominic Canzone and Randy Arozarena, the Mariners have a chance to split this weird wrap-around four-game set against the Rangers to end up back where they started before heading to Arlington. After a couple of soul-crushing losses on Friday and Saturday, I will take it. Lineups: It’s a full day […]
Seattle Mariners Minor League Roundup – Week Eighteen
Tacoma Rainiers Despite a recent injection of much needed talent, the Rainiers dropped their weekly series to a paltry Reno team that’s struggled nearly as much as the Rainiers have this season. The bevy of injuries the Mariners’ big league roster has had to endure this season has severely hampered the Rainiers’ ability to compete […]
Mariners News: Dominic Canzone, Shea Langeliers, and Cody Bellinger
Good morning! The Mariners snapped a four-game losing streak last night with their 6-4 win over the Texas Rangers. A three-run home run by Dominic Canzone ignited the offense in the seventh inning and powered the team to an important win on the road. George Kirby gets the start this afternoon against Rangers RHP Kumar […]
A connections word puzzle about the Mariners’ 6-4 victory over the Rangers
Welcome to the Third Annual Connections Recap. Here are the versions from 2024 and 2025 if you missed them. It will be guided by a Lookout Landing edition of the New York Times game called Connections, in which you try to group 16 words into four groups of four that share a similarity. Here are the directions […]

Mariners Game #106 Preview and Discussion: 7/26/26, Mariners at Texas
Sort of a good news/bad news situation today. The bad news is that there’s a Mariners game today. The good news is it’s an early one and you’ll get most of the day after it’s over. Also, it’s Harry Potter Day at Globe Life Field today, but whether that’s good news or bad news is […]
Mariners News: Juan Soto, Joe Ryan, and Curtis Mead
The Mariners suck. Not much else to say right now. They have a chance to suck just a little bit less and salvage a modicum of dignity against the Rangers this morning at 11:35 am PST. Happy Sunday everybody! In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
Mary Oliver recaps a 7-1 Mariners loss to the Rangers
The world is full of many good things, none of which were contained in today’s Mariners 7-1 loss to the Rangers, but many good things nonetheless. In praise, then, of goodness, of beauty, of things that are not watching the 2026 Mariners continue to fail and frustrate and fail again. (That’s right, readers, we have […]
