The fatal flaw of the 2026 Mariners
There’s a well-worn business cliche that “hope is not a strategy.” Unfortunately for the 2026 Mariners, there was too much hoping, and not enough strategizing. In speaking with players and front office members over the last few weeks as the 2026 Mariners season limped to its agonizing, inevitable conclusion, one common theme jumped out: the […]

Why the Mariners kept their pitching coach staff intact despite rough second half performance
Yesterday brought sweeping changes to the Mariners coaching staff on the heels of a disappointing 2026 season. Jerry Dipoto, in meeting with the media, described the need for a “culture reset” in the organization, noting specifically the sense that the big-league club had gotten away from organizational principles preached in the minor leagues. “The performance […]
The Beautiful and Dan’d
The going got tough for the Mariners in 2026, but the tough never got going. The Mariners moved on from manager Dan Wilson on Sunday, providing a merciful conclusion to the 2026 season. It was an obvious decision, not just because changing managers is standard for a team that falls short of expectations, but because […]
Mariners News: Aaron Judge, Luis Arraez, and Pete Crow-Armstrong
Good morning! Playoff baseball begins today with the Philadelphia Phillies vs. the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres in NL Wild Card Game 1. On the AL Wild Card side, the Boston Red Sox take on the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox match up against the Houston Astros. Which […]
Sweeping staff changes part of a “culture reset” for the Mariners
After parting ways with manager Dan Wilson yesterday, the Mariners announced sweeping changes to their coaching staff today. While pitching coaches Pete Woodworth and Trent Blank will return, the Mariners have now moved on from their hitting coaches with the exception of franchise legend Edgar Martínez, who Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto said would return “in […]
Mariners announce sweeping coaching staff changes following departure of Dan Wilson
The Seattle Mariners will look very different in the dugout in 2027. Monday morning, following the long-expected conclusion of Dan Wilson’s tenure as manager, Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander announced that the club will not retain longtime Bench Coach Manny Acta, Infield Coach Perry Hill, Hitting Coach Kevin Seitzer, or First Base Coach Eric Young […]
Thank you, Rick
At some point in my baseball fandom (likely from the start, I just couldn’t discern it yet) love for the game and love for the people tangled together into one big mass of feeling. And near the center of that tangle, inexorably interwoven, is Rick Rizzs and the Seattle Mariners. For 41 years, we have […]

Mariners players react to firing of Dan Wilson
When news that Mariners manager Dan Wilson would not return in 2027 broke on social media, a significant portion of the fanbase was ecstatic, seeing Wilson as one of the primary culprits in the team’s dreadful season where they fell significantly short of expectations. (The portion that wasn’t celebrating was mostly complaining that the move […]
Goodbye, baseball! M’s send off Rick Rizzs with 7-3 win over Anaheim
As the Mariners have approached the merciful conclusion of the 2026 season, I’ve been thinking about a scene from War & Peace. Early on, Prince Andrei is seeking fulfillment through glory on the battlefield. Amid the staggering violence in the Battle of Austerlitz, he sees a bannerman fall. As General Kutuzov’s troops break and flee, […]

Dan Wilson will not return as Mariners manager in 2027
Sunday was a day of farewells for the Mariners on and off the field. Making official what many have suspected, sources inside the Mariners organization say that the Mariners and manager Dan Wilson have parted ways. According to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com and Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Wilson informed players he would not […]
ALN: J.P. Crawford, a Star
It’s a common misconception that we can’t see the stars during the day because the Sun is too bright, the relative luminosity of our proper-noun Sun overpowering the distant, cold light of the rest of the galaxy’s stars. It seems intuitive – the human eye is limited in the range of the light spectrum it […]
Mariners Game #162 Preview and Discussion: 09/27, ANA at SEA
Today, we’ll test one of the great questions in our beautiful game. Jimmy got this wrong, of course (as he did so many things). There is so much crying in baseball. I don’t know that I’ll cry for Randy—it still feels like a dream that he ever even became a Mariner. But for sure, I […]
Mariners News: Josh Naylor, Justin Verlander, and Jesús Luzardo
The Mariners won last night. I didn’t watch it. I haven’t watched them in a while. They let me down this year. It’s not the first time they’ve done that, but it’s definitely the worst. I’ve seen that writing on the wall before, and I didn’t watch these last few games because I couldn’t bring […]
A better world, a special outfield, an 8-4 Mariners win
Starting in centerfield for what is all but assuredly his penultimate game with the Seattle Mariners, Randy Arozarena carried Randyland with him once again. I wonder what goes through his mind. I often wonder this, in fairness, whether it’s while hopscotching away from 2-0 pitches, filling out a bingo card as he rounds the bases […]

Mariners Game #161, Preview and Discussion: 9/26/26, SEA vs. LAA
Autumn beckons. The chilly rains of Friday night kept Seattle’s bats cool and offered little comfort to Bryce Miller as he struggled through another disappointing outing, hampered at every turn by his dismal defense. Tonight’s penultimate affair has rookie LHP Kade Anderson on the hill, hopeful to finish his season strong and bully another below […]
The devil in the details of Julio Rodríguez’s 2026 season
Julio Rodríguez has a new favorite phrase in English, one he said a couple of times at a pregame media availability on Friday: the devil’s in the details. Interestingly, it’s a newer phrase, not appearing in Bartlett’s until the latter half of the 20th century, likely as a permutation on a saying most notably linked […]
Mariners News: Andrés Muñoz, Rick Rizzs, and Shohei Ohtani
Good day friends, and welcome to the final weekend of the regular season. Last night the Mariners fell short in their comeback effort, dropping a 7-5 game to the Angels. The M’s will play in their last night game of the year this evening with first pitch set for 6:40 pm PT. In Mariners news… […]
