Spoiler alert: the game ended in a tie
Today’s intrasquad Mariners game featured: no fans in the seats on a gorgeous Seattle July afternoon, a late start, audio issues aplenty, Sam Haggerty in center field, innings that ended whenever the coaching squad felt they ought to, Justin Dunn doing his best Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde impression, and fans in the livestream chat cosplaying as the Seager family. At one point pre-broadcast Dave Sims could be...

Rock the vote, y’all
Hello LLers, and welcome back to FanPost Friday. The Mariners have been getting busy at Summer Camp aka Spring Training 2.0 aka Please-Don’t-Get-COVID-Camp. I wanted to take the temperature (editor’s note: c’mon now) of the LL community and see how everyone is feeling about the prospects of this positively wacky 60-game season. Let’s hit the polls!
Sound off in the comments!

out of sight, out of mind
The Mariners, predictably, overhauled their roster during and after the 2019 season. Whether they traded players or expressed zero interest in retaining their services, Seattle cut ties with roughly half of last year’s 40-man roster.
Some of these exiled Mariners are still free agents, searching for a home to wash the stench off like they’re a duck in one of those Dawn commercials. Others have found a new team, and...

It’s Friday!
Hello everyone! Let’s get your day started with some links.
In Mariners news... Seems a little early to be making plans for 2021.Listened to a #Mariners season ticket holder chat with Jerry Dipoto on Zoom tonight. It appears a 6-man rotation is on the table for the team in 2021 also.

It will be a season, allegedly.
Yes, sure, we don’t even know if there will be a 2020 yet, but no matter! Here’s a 2021! Which we also don’t know if there will be! Isn’t this fun!

A shortened day to prepare for tomorrow’s intrasquad game, and a familiar face returns
Today is an abbreviated camp - no afternoon session in order to give players some rest before tomorrow’s intrasquad game. Intrasquad games will be every Friday with a similarly shortened workout the day before. As a reminder, the first intrasquad game will be tomorrow (which is Friday for those of you having trouble keeping track of the days of the weeks) at 2:30....

Some more loud noises! and the debut of a new face on the mound
We continue our daily summations of the Mariners intrasquad practices for those of you who don’t have six-plus hours to watch the feeds yourselves. As a side note, we sure are grateful to the Mariners for broadcasting these workouts. Not every team is, and the YouTube chat is visited often by fans of other teams hungry to see...

Lots of Mariners news to kick off your Thursday.
Good morning folks! The potential season creeps ever closer and many writers in the area had deadlines at the same time, apparently. So we’ve got you covered on Seattle news and everything else in today’s batch of links.

A 60-game update from Baseball Prospectus and the previous FanGraphs-based projection look grim for Seattle. So get to love that 2021 draft now.
The 2020 season remains scheduled to begin two weeks from Thursday, and fully released schedules means teams can begin to game-plan for specific opponents and schedule chartered flights with nervous breath. It also means projection systems can offer recalibrated estimations of the season’s outcome,...

Good vibes and trash talk
Hello and welcome back to this weird version of baseball. As we did yesterday, we’re annotating Tuesday’s workouts for those of you with neither the time nor inclination to watch the stream.
Today’s workouts were a little different from Monday’s since there’s actual commentary on the first couple hours of the stream, so if just watching players run around silently in T-Mobile...

The consequences of having a season during a pandemic continue to become apparent.
Good morning folks! As of now, the season is still on. Players are rapidly testing positive for COVID-19 and the league is about to reach a decision point, if they haven’t already. With that in mind, here’s what you need to know today.

Baseball writing, but make it ethical
If I never see the phrase “in these uncertain times...” again it will be too soon. Yet that’s what the past few months have been—a seemingly endless back-and-forth about whether the season would even happen, and now that things seem to be getting underway, further questions about what that will look like. While it’s nothing compared to what players have been through over the past few...
