Canzone homers again, Mariners stack singles to win against their AL West rivals
Today the Mariners traveled to Surprise, land of retirement communities and strip malls, to take on the reigning World Series Champions, the Texas Rangers. Both teams ran out lesser versions of their full-strength lineups, but the end result was similar to what we’ve seen from both teams this spring: lots of offense, a little less pitching, and an eventual 9-5 win for...

An early spring matchup against an AL West rival
It’s the final week of spring training in Peoria before the team heads out to San Diego for a pair of exhibition games and then onwards to the home opener in Seattle on the 28th. The Mariners are not bringing their full A-squad to Surprise, although Cal Raleigh is getting back-to-back work. The team is also opting to skip Bryce Miller’s scheduled start, giving the Rangers one less look at him;...

New pitch, who dis?
Yesterday morning, Jeff Reid arrived in Nome, Alaska with six of the sixteen dogs he’d left Anchorage with two weeks ago. After 12 days, 11 hours, 22 minutes and one second on the trail, he was the last musher to finish the 2024 Iditarod, taking about three and a half days longer than this year’s winner, Dallas Seavey. But at tonight’s awards banquet, Reid will be given the Red Lantern award. The Red Lantern is given...

The latest stop in Brett de Geus’s baseball journey is Seattle, where he has a real shot at a bullpen spot
With the exceptions of first rounders and top prospects, the journey to make MLB is rarely one that runs in a straight line, but few players have seen more twists and turns in their journey than new Mariners reliever Brett de Geus (pronunced “de gus”, if you were wondering). However, in a spring that’s been marked by unusual early injuries...

Mariners defeat the Midwest
After yesterday’s games were rained out, the Mariners made up for it by playing two, winning two, under much friendlier Arizona skies. The squad made up of mostly starters defeated the White Sox 8-2 at home in Peoria, while the reserves held their own in Cincinnati.
Mariners 8, White Sox 2:Once again, the Mariners’ bats came out sizzling on a sunny but cool Peoria day. They stacked four runs quickly in the...

The present and the future all at once!
Today the Mariners will split and play two games, but don’t call it a split squad: the more senior players will head across the valley to Tempe Diablo Stadium to play the Angels, while the youngsters will take the field at home in Peoria for the Spring Breakout game. Both games will be televised, so you’ll just have to choose what means more to you: the present or the future. But before you make that...

With hard work, Martinez built himself into a prospect; now he hopes to build himself into an MLB starting pitcher
As an aspiring young pitcher, the quickest way to get noticed by teams is with a noisy fastball. But when a tall but skinny fifteen-year-old Jeter Martinez was recruited to join the training program Showtime Athletes in Boca Raton, his fastball sat around 78-80 mph—not exactly the kind of stuff scouts drool over.
Still, a mutual friend of...

all it takes is everyone doing their part
As I’ve written before, it’s hard for baseball players to work together. On defense, position players can, but until the bat hits the ball, baseball is a duel between a hitter and a pitcher.
Teamwork in baseball, then, means something a little different, something more ~vibes~ based. Players uplift each other and provide energy, motivation, and confidence. We do say that hitting is contagious, after all....
