Mariners News: Randy Arozarena, Jack Leiter, and Cole Ragans
Good morning everyone! Pittsburgh native Cole Young had a homecoming to remember last night, delivering the go-ahead homer in a 3-2 Mariners victory over the Pirates. Importantly, Andrés Muñoz also looked electric last night. How are you feeling about our closer after his dominant showing? In Mariners news… Around the league…
Prince of Pittsburgh: Cole Young delivers go-ahead homer in 3-2 Mariners win
There’s a running joke in one of my group chats that Cole Young looks like a Disney prince who decided to play baseball instead (show me the lie). In tonight’s series opener against the Pirates, Young Prince Cole had a game fit for a golden era Disney film. Making his first-ever appearance as a big-leaguer […]

Mariners at Pirates: Game Preview and Discussion
The Mariners kick off a road trip in Pittsburgh, returning them to the sweaty mid-Atlantic region they’d just escaped a week ago. George Kirby will take the mound against the famously right-handed Mitch Keller, and all the lefty bats in Seattle rejoiced. Get up to speed on the Pirates in the series preview here. Lineups: […]
Randyland rejoices as Arozarena returns from hamstring tweak
The Seattle Mariners have activated star outfielder Randy Arozarena from the 10-day injured list, where he’d been sidelined for the minimum number of days since a tweak that occurred while running hard for a bang-bang play at first base on June 13th. Arozarena has been an iron man by modern MLB standards, taking just two […]
Series Preview: Mariners (40-39) at Pirates (39-39)
Count me shocked that the Mariners were able to win one of their games against that trio of lefty starters the Red Sox rolled out last weekend. That win on Sunday wrapped up a 3-3 homestand and pushed the team another game ahead of their division rivals. Now the team embarks on a midwest road […]
Mariners News: Logan Gilbert, Kade Anderson, and Sonny Gray
Good morning! The Mariners are back in action today as they begin a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. George Kirby gets the start at 3:40 PM against RHP Mitch Keller. With a thinning starting lineup due to injuries, who do you predict will step up in the major absences and be […]
AL West Hate Index: Ranking the rivals
After a rousing review of everyone’s favorite Mariners conspiracy theories last week, I decided to come back to a familiar topic: how much we, as Mariners fans, dislike the rest of the AL West. I asked everyone rank the other AL West teams from most hated to least hated in order to get the pulse […]
Rob Refsnyder: Something’s Gotta Give
In mid-May, I went to a lovely afternoon game against the Padres. With a bowl of curry katsu from Tamari Bar and garlic fries in lap, surely, I thought, nothing could ruin such a pleasant day. I was right, until the bottom of the eighth inning, when Rob Refsnyder was called to pinch hit for […]
Seattle Mariners Minor League Roundup – Week Thirteen
Tacoma Rainiers The Rainiers managed a three-three split on the week, pushing with a very solid Salt Lake team that has given many teams fits throughout the season. The Rainiers are understandably thin right now, and despite one of the better bullpen crews in recent years, the big league roster’s lack of health has decimated […]
Logan Gilbert may have turned a corner as he closes in on strikeout #1,000
Logan Gilbert is probably two starts away from recording his 1,000th career strikeout. After adding another eight in yesterday’s win over the Red Sox, he now sits at 984 since he made his debut. Yesterday’s outing, in which he walked just two and allowed only a smattering of good contact, marked the sixth solid start […]
Mariners News: Logan Gilbert, Dominic Canzone, and Jack Leiter
Good morning! A Father’s Day gem by Logan Gilbert powered the Mariners to a 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox yesterday to avoid the series sweep. After an off day today, the Mariners embark on a new series with the Pittsburgh Pirates tomorrow as George Kirby takes the mound at 3;40 PM. In Mariners […]
Lefties make it right, Mariners win 3-1 against Red Sox
A day after being left behind by some more lefty pitching from the Red Sox, the Mariners righted the ship and escaped being swept by Boston thanks to the righteous contributions of three of their lefties: Dominic Canzone (actual lefty), Cole Young (actual lefty), and Logan Gilbert (spiritual lefty). Gilbert – who does everything except […]

Mariners Game Preview and Discussion: Red Sox at Mariners
The Mariners will try to avoid a sweep today at the hands of the Red Sox, who have stacked three lefty starters to force the Mariners into using their weaker right-handed lineup. It’s also Father’s Day. Pregame the Mariners were wearing these Taylor Swift Eras tour-inspired shirts. Most featured the Moose as the central image […]
Mariners News: Andrew Moore, Bryce Harper, and Jayden Murray
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Sunday! The Mariners lost another clunker to the Red Sox last night, once again falling back to .500. They will look to avoid the sweep at 1:10pm PDT today. In Mariners news: Around the league:
Mariners all wrong against another lefty, lose 5-1 to Sox
Today’s loss to the Red Sox left much to be desired, but it started out promisingly enough. Emerson Hancock was clean the first time through the order, picking up four strikeouts, three of which came because a Red Sox hitter left the bat on his shoulder. The rearranged left side of the infield even made […]

Mariners Game #78 Preview and Discussion: 6/20, BOS at SEA
After taking until the seventh inning to record their first hit last night, the Mariners will look to bounce back today. They’ll pin their hopes on Emerson Hancock, who’s looking to bounce back himself. His last start was his roughest of the year so far, surrendering nine hits and six runs to just three whiffs […]
Mariners News: Andrés Muñoz, Justin Verlander, and Jarred Kelenic
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners bats struggled to get going last night against the Red Sox, with left-hander Ranger Suárez tossing six no-hit innings in a 6-2 M’s loss. The squad will try to get back into the win column tonight against young lefty Connelly Early. It’s looking like a sunny Father’s […]
Mariners lose to Red Sox, 6-2: Mariners bats vanquished once again by lefty starter
In front of a sell-out crowd of 45,775 on fireworks night on a day the stands were packed with Red Sox and World Cup fans alike, the Mariners fizzled out, dropping the opening game against Boston in dismal fashion. By the ninth inning, a loud “let’s go Red Sox” chant had erupted, with the only […]

Mariners Game Preview and Discussion: Boston Red Sox at Seattle Mariners
The Mariners – Red Sox kick off a series today with two dueling pitching strategies. The Red Sox, knowing how left-handed heavy the Mariners are, will be starting a trio of lefties, causing the Mariners to make a roster move to get more right-handed (read more in the “roster move” section). Meanwhile, the Mariners will […]
Mariners select INF/OF Weston Wilson; DFA INF Miles Mastrobuoni
The Mariners announced today they have selected INF/OF Weston Wilson from Triple-A Tacoma and designated INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment. Wilson, who’s played parts of seasons in the big leagues since 2023, was signed to a minor-league contract by the Mariners five days ago, on June 14, and played just two games with the Tacoma […]
Series Preview: Mariners (39-37) vs. Red Sox (29-43)
Even with the returns of Cal Raleigh and J.P. Crawford, the Mariners continue to be beset by injuries. Julio Rodriguez was held out of Thursday’s game with a minor hamstring injury and Luke Raley missed the entire series against the Orioles thanks to the flu. Somehow, the only part of the team that hasn’t been […]
