Series Preview: Mariners (11-15) at Cardinals (14-10)

We’re a week away from the end of the first month of the season, and the Mariners still haven’t found their groove. The walk-off win on Wednesday afternoon was a nice way to escape a sweep at the hands of the A’s, but it wrapped up a disappointing 3-3 homestand against AL West foes. Thankfully, […]

Mariners News: Emerson Hancock, Taijuan Walker, and JR Ritchie

Hello everyone and happy Friday! With the Mariners kicking off a six-game road trip this evening, how are you feeling about their chances to turn things around against a pair of weaker squads in the Cardinals and Twins? In Mariners news… Around the league… Anders’ pick…

Mariners outfielder Victor Robles shines a light on autism awareness

April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance month. Learn more here. You might have noticed that current Dodgers outfielder and former Mariner Teoscar Hernández has been sporting some new gear this season: his guards feature rainbow-colored interlocking puzzle pieces, a symbol for autism awareness since 1963. Hernández has been wearing the gear, which the company EvoShield […]

Don’t worry, nobody wants to win the AL West

If you are a MLB team, you’ll have fallow stretches. Let’s consider the 2025 season: The World Series winning Los Angeles Dodgers went 10-14 in the month of July, but still secured their division with a 93-69 record en route to MLB’s first repeat title winner in 25 years. April 10-May 7 saw the Toronto […]

Mariners are useful idiots, walk off series finale 5-4

We’ve had the good (not enough), we’ve had the bad (too much), now welcome to the weird of the Mariners season. Logan Gilbert was shaky but shaken, the defense (non-Cole Young edition) was porous and also game-saving, the bullpen was fine and also not fine but also still kind of fine, the offense was good […]

Mariners Game #26, Preview and Discussion: ATH at SEA, 4/26

There have been several low moments already in this young season but dropping last night’s game – and therefore the series – to the A’s ranks pretty high up there, for me. After taking back some momentum with a series win against Texas, the Mariners have let that slip through their fingers, again struggling to […]

Seattle Mariners Pressing Questions: Why Not Colt Emerson Instead of Will Wilson?

This format, Pressing Questions, will see different writers meeting in real time to discuss questions that are top of mind and pertinent.  This won’t replace our thought-out and researched thinkpieces […]

Mariners News: Alex Hoppe, Blas Castaño, and Juan Soto

Good morning everyone! The Mariners fell yet again to the A’s last night, dropping the contest 6-2 as the offense struggles to find its footing. Where is your level of concern as we enter the late stages of April? Do you still think the team can turn it around and return to the caliber of […]

Mariners go down with a whimper, drop game and series to A’s

For my first recap at Lookout Landing, I signed up for a Tuesday Night Against the A’s, and Tuesday Night Against the A’s I got. The Mariners fell 5-2 on Tuesday night in what can only be described as a “tough one.” The bats just never got going for the hometown nine against Jacob Lopez, […]

Mariners Game #25 Preview and Discussion: SAC at SEA, 4/21

After coughing up a three-run lead in a loss last night, the Mariners hope to even the series against the Athletics Tuesday night. Luis Castillo gets the ball for the M’s, still in search of his first win of 2026 in his fifth start. With a 5.40 ERA this season, the results haven’t been on […]

Your Seattle Mariners hot takes, ranked and rated

Last week, I dropped a request in the FEED for all y’all’s hottest Mariners takes and you definitely served up some HEAT. Here is a handy ranking system: Blake Beaven = 1 star – a fine yet fairly tepid takeChris Bosio = 2 stars – workmanlike, solid, but not earth-shatteringHisashi Iwakuma = 3 stars – […]

Seattle designates RHP Casey Legumina for assignment, calls up RHP Alex Hoppe

The Seattle Mariners announced Tuesday afternoon that they have designated RHP Casey Legumina for assignment, recalling rookie RHP Alex Hoppe for additional bullpen depth. The move comes on the heels of a difficult outing for Legumina, but the righty had been reasonably effective in the early stages of the season prior to being tasked with […]

Mariners News: Julio Rodriguez, Brendan Donovan, and Edwin Diaz

Happy Tuesday! An uncharacteristic Emerson Hancock start and unfortunate, late-game bullpen meltdown resulted in a 3-6 loss for the Mariners against the Athletics yesterday. Luis Castillo will hope to get the Mariners back in the win column today as he takes the mound at 6:40 PM against Jacob Lopez. In Mariners news… Around the league…

Mariners Game #24 Preview and Discussion: SAC at SEA, 4/20

The Mariners will look to make it three in a row as they begin a new series with A’s on Monday. Emerson Hancock takes the mound for the Mariners. He has a 2.75 FIP and 24.7% K-BB over his first four starts. It’s one of the most remarkable turn arounds in the early going across […]

Mariners place Brendan Donovan on 10-day IL, select INF Will Wilson

The Mariners will be without one of their biggest off-season acquisitions for at least the next week, placing INF Brendan Donovan on the 10-day IL with a groin strain. Donovan appeared to suffer the injury in Friday’s series opener against the Rangers, a game where he had to make multiple tough plays on bunts. Will […]

Series Preview: Mariners (10-13) vs. Athletics (11-11)

It’s hard to place all that much importance on an April series against a division rival, but the Mariners series win over the Rangers last weekend was pretty important. Not only did it serve as a reset after a tough stretch of games — not unlike the Astros series a few weekends ago — it […]

Seattle Mariners Minor League Roundup – Week Four

Tacoma Rainiers The Rainiers were able to secure a much needed series victory against the true Sacramento ball club by a score of 4-2, downing the River Cats with good pitching and just enough offense. The bats are starting to get things going with a bit more consistency, and despite having had their coffers raided […]

Mariners News: Bryan Woo, Emerson Hancock, and Rob Refsnyder

Good morning! The Mariners secured a series win yesterday against the Texas Rangers behind another strong pitching performance. Starter Bryan Woo’s final line of six strikeouts, four hits, one walk, and two runs through seven innings held the Rangers scoreless until the seventh inning, and three Mariners home runs provided key run support in the […]

Mariners Leave the Rangers Feeling Woo-zy, Win 5-2

Bryan Woo came to the ballpark seemingly on a mission today: to make the Rangers’ day miserable. So far this season, despite some solid performances, Woo has failed to notch a win, with three no-decisions and two losses. Today, he stepped on the hill, and, one inning aside, he looked as sharp as he has […]
