Mariners News, 3/30/26: Emerson Hancock, Brendan Donovan, and J.P. Crawford
Good morning! An incredible outing last night from starter Emerson Hancock led the Mariners to an 8-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians to wrap up their first series of 2026. Hancock recorded nine strikeouts over six innings with no hits, joining only Felix on the day of his perfect game as the only Mariners to […]
Emerson Hancock spins a gem as the Mariners take series finale against Cleveland, 8-0
It’s spring but it’s definitely not spring training anymore, as 30,000 fans shivered through the Mariners-Guardians series finale before being rewarded by a convincing 8-0 win. It might have felt like spring training metaphorically though, as the runs stacked up for the Mariners, and Emerson Hancock carried his impressive spring into the chilly confines of […]

Mariners Game #4: Game Discussion and Open Thread
I hate to leave the old thread behind because it has a Hancock no hitter and six runs in it but needs must, sadly. Like AMPM’s horrifying mascot, there’s just too much good stuff. Except the wave that just started. Stop that. (Edit: it stopped.)
Mariners Game #4 Preview and Discussion: CLE at SEA, 3/29/26
After a heartbreakingly close loss last night, the Mariners will look to avoid losing their first series of the season today against Cleveland. Emerson Hancock will make his season debut for Seattle. Thanks to Zach Mason, who accidentally wrote this preview for Hancock when he’s actually recapping Castillo’s start against the Yankees tomorrow. All mine […]
Mariners to debut new Steelheads jerseys for Sunday Night Baseball
Tonight’s Mariners game won’t be just their Sunday Night Baseball debut; the team will also debut their new Steelheads uniforms, created to honor the short-lived Negro Leagues team located in Seattle. The Mariners are the first MLB team to feature a historic Negro Leagues uniform as part of the club’s standard uniform rotation. The black […]
Eight encouraging things about last night’s Mariners loss
Having had a while to process last night’s 6-5 loss against the Guardians, I have determined that as far as losses go, I’m pretty okay with this one. Yes, there were incredibly frustrating things: the bullpen coughing up a key run after some questionable decisions, the utter lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, […]
About Last Night: A brief foray into lineup construction
I cannot emphasize enough the degree to which I think lineup construction is overrated in the discourse relative to the difference it makes in practice. I almost don’t even want to post this. But even with that caveat, lineup construction doesn’t not matter, and I think we saw a mistake last night. So thanks to […]
Mariners News, 3/29/26: Luke Raley, Nasim Nuñez, and Mason Miller
I’m gonna keep it real with you guys, I worked consecutive eleven hours days this weekend, so I’m actually pretty stoked about the Mariners playing on Sunday night, because I’m just not willing to commit to getting out of bed for 1:10 game at this time. The Mariners hosting the national audience has led to […]
Mariners lose 6-5 to Chase DeLauter, Guardians in extras
The Mariners picked up their first singles of the season but couldn’t get much action until too late. The Mariners entered the ninth inning Saturday with six hits and six walks and just two runs to show for it. They trailed the Guardians 3-2 when Cole Young leadoff the inning by plopping a a soft […]

Mariners Game #3 Preview and Discussion: CLE at SEA, 3/28/26
The Mariners and Guardians will go for history Saturday in just their third game of the season. The Mariners do not have a single yet. They are the first team ever to not have a single in their first two games of a season. There have only been nine instances in history where a team […]
Mariners News, 3/28: Angie Mentink, Carlos Santana and Anders Jorstad’s wedding
The Mariners won their first game of (hopefully) many, it’s a glorious Saturday and today our beLLoved LLinks master gets married! Ders has been writing here for 12 years, while also doing things like high school graduation, college graduation, broadcasting around the country, getting engaged and now, literally today, perhaps even at this very minute […]
Mariners try hitting home runs with runners on base, beat Cleveland 5-1
Tonight’s game started off on a sour note, with another first-inning bomb from Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter, already his third on the season. It seemed to foreshadow a replay of last night’s loss. But the next batter flipped the vibes, as Cole Young went full extension to corral a hard-hit grounder from Jose Ramírez and […]

New Mariner Cole Wilcox works on keeping it consistent
The Mariners made their first in-season roster move today, placing RHP Carlos Vargas on the 15-day IL with a lat strain and recalling RHP Cole Wilcox from Tacoma. In December 2020, the Padres acquired Blake Snell from the Rays in a high-profile trade that sent highly-ranked prospect Luis Patiño, catchers Francisco Mejia and Blake Hunt, […]
Mariners Game #2 Preview and Discussion: CLE at SEA, 3/27/26
Opening Day festivities are in the books, but unfortunately so is loss number one. It will not be the only loss the Mariners accrue this year, but hopefully it’ll be the last one for a while. To repeat yesterday’s introductory material for new readers, in addition to our analysis and commentary, Lookout Landing will feature […]
Mariners place RHP Carlos Vargas on IL; recall RHP Cole Wilcox from Tacoma
The Mariners announced today that RHP Carlos Vargas is going on the 15-day IL, retroactive to March 24, with a right lat strain. The lat issue must have cropped up suddenly, because Vargas was on a relatively regular schedule this spring, appearing every 3-4 days. His last appearance was in the spring training finale against […]
Mariners Prospect Ratings: #7, Luke Stevenson
At the time of his drafting, the sentiment surrounding Luke Stevenson as a Mariner was polarized. On one hand, landing a first round catching talent with a pick they essentially received for free felt like a massive gift. On the other hand, Stevenson had an unprecedentedly low contact rate for someone getting drafted as early […]
Mariners News, 3/27/26: Logan Gilbert, Nico Hoerner, and Jackson Chourio
Good morning friends! My apologies for the late links post this morning — I forgot to get someone to cover me, so here I am throwing something up here quickly! I hope everyone had a delightful Opening Day, even though the Mariners lost 6-4. Are we ready to anoint Dominic Canzone the American League MVP […]
Mariners barrage of solo shots not enough against Guardians in Opening Day loss
For an offense that was supposed to add more contact and on-base ability this off-season, it was a disappointing showing from the Mariners on Opening Day in front of a sold-out (as announced by the Mariners) crowd. The Mariners hitters combined for 14 strikeouts, scoring all their runs on solo homers. They only had two […]
