About Last Night: Dark side of the debut
Lázaro Montes’ debut last night got the lion’s share of the attention, but we would be remiss if we did not dedicate some time to another Mariners debut on Tuesday evening: Journeyman lefty Hoby Milner. In the bottom of the ninth with a five-run lead, Dan Wilson turned to his newest toy in the bullpen. […]
Mariners News: Ethan Salas, Carlos Estévez, and the Los Angeles Angels
Good morning everyone! The Mariners bats came to life yesterday as rookie outfielder Lazaro Montes had a debut to remember in a 9-6 M’s victory over the Red Sox. The two squads are set to square off again today with first pitch at 1:10pm PT. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Mariners’ Cuban Connection delivers 9-6 win against Red Sox
Mantua, Cuba, is a small fishing village on the northwestern coast of the island; legend says it was founded by shipwrecked Italian sailors in the early 1600s. Los Arroyos, the neighborhood where Randy Arozarena grew up, is a tiny tip of the island, about as close to Cancún as it is to the capital Havana, […]

Mariners Game #139 Preview and Discussion: 9/1/26, Mariners at Red Sox
The Mariners lost another crushing game last night but today is a new month and roster expansions have given us a shiny new toy: hulking outfielder Lazaro Montes, he of the light tower power and megawatt smile and infectious happy personality. They’re calling it the biggest vibes transfusion since Geo Suárez stepped onto that plane […]
Mariners Reach End of Circle
We haven’t seen baseball this bad in Seattle in 50 years. The Mariners were outscored 169 to 95 in August on their way to an 11-16 record. That’s a run differential of -74. That’s bad. That’s historic. That’s the second worst run differential in a calendar month in team history. The only month worse? August […]

Fire Humpy
Hi, guys. First time, long time here. Ever since Jerry DiPoto and his band of nerds let Humpy win the Salmon Run for the second time, the vibes around this team have turned rancid. They went 1-4 in the rest of that ALCS and they are currently well on their way to their first losing […]
Mariners News: Michael Rucker, Luis Robert Jr., and Ethan Salas
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Tuesday and September! The Mariners lost a heartbreaker in Boston last night, dropping their fifth straight game. They march on, though, and we have the added bonus of Lázaro Montes being added to the big league club as rosters expand today. Surely a top prospect debut could entice you to […]

Today the SB Nation app is live, and it’s going to make it even easier for you to access all the content and conversation here at Lookout Landing. That’s right, we’re making it even more convenient for you to be slowly brain-spidered by the […]
“Death doesn’t leave with the best part of you” (but the Mariners do leave Fenway with a loss)
Payton Tolle is one of the best stories of the 2026 season. A thoughtful prospect writer brought him to my attention early last year, knowing my affinity for a good four-seamer, a thick ‘stache and a mien that would be equally at home on a small fishing boat off the coast of Bangor in 1890 […]

Mariners Game #138 Preview and Discussion: 8/31/26, Mariners at Red Sox
The Mariners head to Fenway to play the Red Sox. It’s Heated Rivalry Night at Fenway, but I will NOT be doing the recap, so consider yourselves all spared. Lineups: News: Cooper Criswell has been officially Unfurled, activated off the 60-day IL. But Nick Davila has taken his place on the IL with an SC […]
Series Preview: Mariners (64-73) at Red Sox (74-63)
The battle of inverted records. After getting blown out in two of three games in Toronto and blowing a lead in the one game they had a fighting chance to win, the Mariners go on to play an actually good team in Boston to finish up this east coast road trip. The good news: games […]
Mariners News: Lázaro Montes, Roman Anthony, and Byron Buxton
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Monday and final day of August! The Mariners… did not win yesterday, capping off a weekend series in Toronto in which they were on the wrong end of a sweep. They’ve limped into Fenway for a three-game set in their final East Coast stop of the season, and the first […]
Mariners calling up slugging OF prospect Lazaro Montes per several reports
Longtime baseball reporter Francys Romero reported Sunday evening that Cuban OF Lazaro Montes will be called up to the Seattle Mariners, with Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reporting that the move is expected ahead of Tuesday’s game in Boston, coinciding with the expansion of rosters to 28 for September call-ups. Montes is in transit to Boston […]
Max Scherzer is old and terrible and even he dominated the 2026 Mariners
The Mariners got swept by an old man. The sources of embarrassment in this 2026 Mariners season keep getting weirder and less likely. Max Scherzer, the oldest player on any active roster in the majors — and perhaps the worst — dominated the Seattle lineup for seven innings on Sunday, wracking up 10 strikeouts and […]

Mariners Game #137 Preview and Discussion, 8/30/26: SEA @ TOR
The Mariners will look to avoid a sweep in Toronto. Logan Gilbert gets the start for the Mariners. The rotation has failed to go at least five innings six times over the last 14 games, eating up what was until recently a shortened bullpen. Bryce Miller, who was initially set to start Sunday, has since […]
Mariners News: Jacob Wilson, Hoby Milner, and Luis Rengifo
The Mariners continued to prove the doubters correct yesterday by losing an incredibly winnable game and securing a series loss in Toronto. Logan Gilbert will go against Max Scherzer at 10:37 PST to try to find some momentum to take to Boston. In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
The Mariners win half a baseball game in Toronto; lose series
Seattle’s see-saw season has seen more sawing downward under the sea level of .500 than it has seen not doing that, and coming into today’s game they were sitting seven games below that level. The last few weeks, in small amounts, have seen the Mariners tepidly challenge that perception. Coming into the series in Toronto, […]

Mariners Game #136 Preview and Discussion, 8/29/26: SEA at TOR
Kinda weird that the schedulers had the M’s on an off day on a Friday yesterday, huh? No matter, though, because today we get Kade Anderson’s second career big league start, and first one away from the friendly confines of T-Mobile Park. While the Mariners won in an absolute thriller in his debut, I think […]
Mariners News: Bryce Miller, Hurston Waldrep, and Spencer Schwellenbach
Hello friends and happy Saturday! It was a sad Friday night for the M’s, who dropped the first game to the Blue Jays by an 8-1 final. We don’t need to dwell on this one too much. Let’s get you caught up on the rest of the happenings from around baseball. In Mariners news… Around […]
Jays thrash M’s 8-1
Despite working with some of his worst stuff of the season, Dylan Cease carved through the Mariners’ lineup tonight. The Cy Young frontrunner did it the same way he did when he faced Seattle two months ago: sliders and changeups tumbling, pushing the Mariners to chase the fastball high. The meanest pitch was the one […]
