Is it still a home game if the team won’t call it home?
Maybe you’re like me—a Mariners fan who doesn’t live in Washington. Maybe you live in a city with a team. Or a city that’s suddenly hosting a team. One that doesn’t want to be there. One that won’t even admit it plays in your town. And when people mention your city they only do so as a punchline to a sad joke.
But you are recently married and bought a house in this city, your first house, and you plan to stay...
When you stare into the batter’s eye in Seattle, something unfamiliar stares back.
What a batter sees at T-Mobile Park changes within a game and season.
Last year, I tested batter vision at T-Mobile Parking using the position of the sun. My premise was that if there is an issue with vision, we should see performance change as light changes in the stadium. I found the sun to be a strong predictor of performance overall and discovered a spike in whiff rate just after sunset. I...

The Baltimore Orioles this season have had a rough start to the 2025 season. They are in last place in the American League East at 13-22. On the other side, the Seattle Mariners are in first place in the American League West at 22-14.
Right-hander Luis F. Castillo, designated for assignment by the Seattle Mariners a day earlier, landed with a new team on Wednesday when the Baltimore Orioles acquired him in a cash deal.
The Mariners announced that they’ve traded righty Luis F. Castillo to Baltimore for cash. Seattle had designated him for assignment Tuesday as the corresponding move for the Leody Taveras waiver claim.

A beautiful day for a ballgame
The rubber match of the Mariners’ first trip to Sacramento features a great pitching matchup.
Bryan Woo loved pitching in the ballpark closest to where he grew up in Alameda, California. Over three starts at the Colisseum, Woo allowed just two runs over 16 innings, with 18 strikeouts. Will that dominance follow to the A’s new home?

It takes vision, patience, and consistency to grind out a victory like tonight’s.
My experience with sculpting is the grinding of my jaws pressing molars against molars, agitatedly expressing my nerves in friction between my teeth. One day, I will chew my last ice cube, retire my gnashing jersey and watch it lofted into the rafters of my palate. Until that day, however, I will have useful reference for what these Seattle Mariners are capable of, and why their...
