There’s an impenetrable, opaque blackness to this space. Devoid of the primary sense that humans rely on to orient themselves, you try to parse what information you can through your secondary inputs. Unfortunately, other senses provides no more insight. It is so painfully, crushingly loud here that you can’t be sure of the source of […]

After a very bad and nasty 1-5 road trip, the Mariners return home for a little 4-game set against their division arch-rivals, the Houston Astros. With the Mariners currently sitting in dead last in the AL West, a win tonight is greatly needed. Tonight also has the distinction of being both Ichiro Statue day and […]
The Seattle Mariners didn’t need a copy of Cal Raleigh’s MVP-caliber 2025 to repeat as AL West champions this year. What they *will* need is not to repeat his frigid first foray in the big leagues back in 2021. Hard as it may be to remember (or, all too easy after the first two weeks […]
Even in the midst of an ugly five-game losing streak, it’s still too early to panic about the Mariners’ place in the standings. It’s okay to be a little worried, however. There’s still more than 90% of the season left to play, but a sufficiently slow start in April can have an impact on the […]
Good morning everyone and happy Friday! The Mariners kick off the first of 13 games in a row today with a four-game homestand against the rival Astros. With several Mariners struggling through the first two weeks, this will serve as an opportunity to bounce back. Which player are you picking to right the ship during […]
There are very few baseball players capable of doing the things that Ryan Sloan does on a daily basis. At just 20 years old, Sloan has ascended from high schooler to consensus top 100 prospect in just 82 innings, supplanting himself near the top of pitching ranks over players with far more professional experience. A […]
Amanda Lee’s treatment table lies firmly down a weathered hallway of white brick walls and fluorescent lighting. Its dark blue vinyl surface, encasing a layer of durable foam padding, is refreshed daily to accommodate its ever-rotating visitation schedule. The table’s enduring wooden base has held users waylaid with immeasurable ailments, with an increasingly wide range […]
Hello friends! The Mariners’ slide continued yesterday as the bats slept in during a 3-0 series finale loss to the Rangers. The team has gifted us with an off-day today, which hopefully helps them reset before they face the similarly-struggling Astros. Have you been keeping up with any other teams in the league so far […]
If the first dozen games of this Mariners season have felt derivative to you, that wouldn’t be misplaced. Dating back to 2023, Seattle has stumbled out of the gate, starting each season with a record of 4-8. Thankfully, in all previous three years, the M’s have bounced back, staunching the bleeding to win their next […]

Today, the Mariners will attempt to avoid a sweep in this year’s first iteration of breakfast baseball. Yes, anything in the morning is considered “breakfast baseball”. No, I will not comment on whether I am actually eating breakfast at 11:35 in the morning. Coming off of four straight one-run losses, they’ll ask Bryan Woo to […]
The Seattle Mariners announced today that they have placed OF Victor Robles on the 10-day IL with a right pectoral strain. To take Robles’s place on the roster, the Mariners have selected INF/OF Connor Joe. Joe will wear #9, last worn by INF Ben Williamson. Joe, 33, is a journeyman player who’s been with several […]
Good day folks! It’s been a tough stretch for the Mariners, who fell again in a one-run contest to the Rangers to move their season record to 4-8. They’ll look to get back in the win column during a day game today against MacKenzie Gore, with first pitch at 11:35am PT. For those of you […]
There will come a period in this season when time unspools languorously, with the unobtrusive ease of a sport that plays a game nearly every day. The edges will soften, the agonies and exaltations abating in equal measure. You cannot sprint 162 times over. Now is not that period. Now, time does not unspool. Time […]

Fresh off the heels of their third consecutive one-run loss, the Mariners will dust themselves off and square up with the Texas Rangers for the penultimate game of the first road trip of the young 2026 season. Seattle will try to avoid the ignominious distinction of starting 4-8 through their first twelve games for the […]
The time has arrived for Michael Arroyo. He’s climbed his way into the upper ranks of this system, and with a debut date rapidly approaching, he’s reached a critical point in his career that will largely signal the future trajectory of his time as a major league baseball player. A tremendously talented player, to what […]
Happy Tuesday! Another night of quiet hitting held the Mariners to just one run in their 1-2 loss to the Texas Rangers last night. Cal Raleigh’s first home run of the year, a solo shot to deep right field, was one of two Mariners hits all game. George Kirby takes the mound today for the […]
For those unfamiliar with the tradition, the combination of Buzzfeed listicle, treasure hunt, airing of the grievances, and prix fixe tasting menu that my people call Passover—occurring this week—includes a segment in which the youngest child present asks a series of questions designed to elicit why this night is different from all other nights.

The Mariners head to the Lone Star State in their attempt to bounce back from losing two very winnable games in a row. They’ll hand the ball back to their Opening Day starter, Logan Gilbert, who has looked better than he did last season but still shakier than he did in 2023-24. I’m increasingly concerned […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma’s had more time under their belt than the other three affiliates, and with a 4-5 record thus far, it’s been a somewhat middling mix to start the season. There’s enough talent on this roster to be one of the more compelling teams in the PCL, but they’ll have to start picking things […]
The Mariners are on a run of playing the AL West, facing Anaheim, Texas, and Houston in a row over the next two weeks. They got off to a bad start against what should be the soft part of that schedule, dropping the weekend series to the Angels as the bats continue to scuffle; they’ll […]
