Mariners Game #7 Preview and Discussion: NYY at SEA, 4/1

Lousy Smarch Weather! Hey look at that, no more March baseball, which really shouldn’t even be a thing. Now we’re playing in April, like the good baseball gods intended where it is also cold and rainy. Nevertheless, DAY BASEBALL on a WEDNESDAY! Let’s get into it. The Mariners had their first true stinker of a […]

Mariners News, 4/1/26: Colt Emerson, Cal Raleigh, and Cooper Pratt

Good morning everyone, and happy April! I’d like to thank everyone who passed along their congratulations for my wedding in the comments on Saturday — it meant a lot to me! And a thank you to the LL crew for covering me over the weekend. In case you missed it, the big news of the […]

Mariners get Fried by Max and the Yankees, lose 5-0

This was the matchup in the series the Mariners had the lowest percentage of winning (even while still being favored, apparently no one told the oddsmakers at FanGraphs the Mariners are suffering a bit of a limp offensively), but it was still pretty rough to watch. Max Fried outdueled Logan Gilbert, holding the Mariners scoreless […]

Mariners Game #6 Preview and Discussion: NYY at SEA, 3/31/26

The Mariners recorded their first walkoff win of the season last night and in narrative-pleasing fashion, it was Cal Raleigh who dealt reigning MVP Aaron Judge’s Yankees the loss. Ah, that’s the good stuff. The Mariners really needed that win because they have two rough draws for the rest of this series, starting with Max […]

When and where can Mariners fans expect to see Colt Emerson?

The Mariners surprised the baseball world today with the news of a record-breaking extension for prospect Colt Emerson. While much of the extension chatter has focused on the Mariners’ pitching core, the Mariners instead locked down the 20-year-old shortstop who has steadily climbed prospect lists since his draft year in 2022, when the Mariners took […]

Everett AquaSox announce 2026 roster, featuring five top Mariners prospects

Yesterday the Mariners’ Double-A affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, announced their 2026 roster, highlighted by the inclusion of the Mariners’ two top pitching prospects, Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan. That unfortunately doesn’t leave a lot of frontline starter talent for High-A Everett, but the AquaSox will still boast five of Seattle’s Pipeline Top 30 prospects, and […]

Mariners Prospect Ratings: #6, RF Lazaro Montes

Lazaro Montes, perhaps the single most powerful bat the Mariners have had in their minor leagues this decade, is a polarizing player within the scouting community. While many see his thunderous bat that launched 32 homers last season across two different levels and liken him to some of the great sluggers of our time, others […]

Seattle Mariners Agree to Record-Setting Extension with Top Prospect Colt Emerson

In an unexpected announcement Tuesday morning, Seattle Mariner top prospect Colt Emerson reportedly agreed to an 8 year, $95 million contract extension with the organization. The deal includes a ninth year club option as well as various escalators that can bring the total up to $130 million. Additionally, Emerson was granted a full no trade […]

Mariners News, 3/31/26: Cal Raleigh, Cody Ponce, and Cooper Pratt

Happy Tuesday! We were treated to our first walk-off of 2026 last night after a single from Cal Raleigh slipped past first base and scored Leo Rivas from third. Another stellar pitching performance featured six innings from Luis Castillo with no runs, two hits, and seven strikeouts. The bullpen largely did their job, and Matt […]

Mariners win first walk-off of the season, 2-1 over Yankees

Even though the Mariners were winning most of the game, it still felt like they were going to have to win on a comeback, which they eventually did. The Yankees were dominating the ABS challenge system, and the Mariners had a few defensive miscues, driving all the focus to the Yankees’ half-innings. Meanwhile, despite putting […]

Mariners Game #5 Preview and Discussion: NYY at SEA, 3/30

The Mariners draw a tough opponent in their quest for their first series win of 2026. The Yankees of New York, New York look every bit the force of nature they’ve been the past few years, with Aaron Judge already climbing the home run leaderboard. In their attempt to win game one, Seattle will hand […]

Series Preview: Mariners (2-2) vs. Yankees (3-0)

Walking away with two wins in four games against that very pesky and tough Guardians ballclub was a decent way to start the season. Even though the results didn’t exactly line up with their performance, there were a bunch of encouraging things we saw from the Mariners during Opening Weekend. The bottom of the lineup […]

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.)
