Gerrit Cole proved to not be invincible yesterday and the Nationals scored several runs off him. Take it away, Juan Soto!

Photo by Will Newton/Getty Images Take a whiff of that new off-season smell, it’s rumor time. All we have heard from Jerry Dipoto on the Mariners’ plan for this off-season is to expect a quieter winter, and anticipate lots of the work to be done early and late. Earlier today, Joe Doyle took a stab at how that might manifest. Naturally, however, we’ve gotten a few tidbit rumors already this fall of the M’s sniffing around two talented outfielders who will have a fair bit of interest...

grant went to yale he knows what he’s talking about
0:00-12:15: Crown Hill (and then Capitol Hill’s) own Grant Bronsdon blesses the mic to talk about his Mariner fandom. He says it was born partly out of newspaper sports sections. Kids, newspapers are like acoustic Twitter. In a wonderful sliding doors scenario, Grant and last week’s guest were at the same formative game in 2001. A long overdue Woody Williams shout out somehow leads us down the...

Behold! The new cast members for Seattle Night Live: Season 44
There’s no denying this offseason is going to pale in comparison to some of the wheelin’ dealin’ happenings of the last few years for Jerry Dipoto and Co. The Mariners don’t have a cast of high-profile names they can swing for bluechip prospects. Conversely, they likely aren’t willing to ship their own bluechip prospects for high-profile names.
Alas, we’re stuck somewhere in the...

Because of this, many fans overlooked, forgot, or plain didn’t know that Dunn was the Mets’ fourth-ranked prospect—one spot behind...

Mariners outfield prospect Julio Rodriguez has been shut down for the final week of the Arizona Fall League season due to a minor lower back strain, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com. Evidently, the organization is handling Rodriguez much in the same way it did Jarred Kelenic, who was likewise shut down after playing just three games in the Arizona Fall League. Johns also notes that another Mariners prospect, right-handed pitcher Sam Delaplane, will also have his season end due to triceps...

This one goes out to all you bullpen lovers.
Yesterday was The Big Maple vs. The Big Justin Verlander. Today, Game Six, offers no such storybook matchup. A full bullpen day from both sides will make for an interesting strategic showdown of two teams with some of the best relievers in the game. For the Yankees, that begins with Chad Green, and will have to do without (or with only a pinch-hitter in) Giancarlo Stanton.
Keep on fighting....

Paxton goes in an elimination game, hold on to your butts
The Yankees, pushed to the brink of elimination by the actively evil and alleged whistle-tipped sign-stealing Houston Astros, look to the Lefty from Ladner to save their asses from a 10th straight year without a World Series appearance. Also, this:
The #Yankees have not reached the #WorldSeries this decade
Last decade they never appeared at least once in the Series: 1910s

AKA the shittiest super power ever
Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. As we head into the World Series soon and the offseason, I decided to borrow an idea from the LL podcast. Matthew just launched a series where he’s going to do a whole episode with one noted Mariners fan at a time and ask them all about why and how they became a Mariners fan, aka their origin story. So!
What’s your Mariners fandom origin story? Photo...Photo by B Bennett/Getty Images
just the tw(enty)o of us
For some reason, nobody on the Mariners wore the number 2 from 1992 to 1998. Here are some theories about why they avoided it so hard:
The number two is too binary, too caught up in black or white. Think about a number like 14. Wow, so many possibilities. Or what about 55? Don’t get me started on 55. Its shape is kinda weird, right? Lots of turns. Many places to get lost. Now you look at a number like 1, straight to the point. Or...Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports
Happy Friday!
In Playoff News... The Astros take Game 4 against the Yankees and now lead the ALCS 3-1. In Mariners News... Vote for all of the Mariners prospects nominated for MiLBY awards!For the first time since I’ve been covering the team, the Mariners have nominees in every major category:
Top Starting Pitcher - Logan Gilbert
Top Offensive Player - Jarred Kelenic
Top Reliever - Sam Delaplane AND Dayeison Arias
Breakout Prospect - Julio Rodríguez...
Future Stars Series
Another prep outfielder with the five-tool+frame motif is rising up draft boards.
My type is unsubtle. I believe any successful rebuild depends on acquiring/developing stars, and the Mariners have a few such players in their organization at the moment. But going big repeatedly increases your chances of hitting big, even if there can be a commensurate increase in risk. Beyond the fact that the team should be heavily motivated to spend significantly as they look to...
