Maybe we shouldn’t be so psyched to play the A’s.
Good morning all! It’s time for some baseball news on a Tuesday morning.
In Mariners news... For the second week in a row, a trio of Mariners prospects picked up some hardware.Another dominant week on the farm @harry_ford (@ARTravs) takes home the Texas League Player of the Week award, while Lazaro Montes and Will Schomberg (@ModestoNuts) earn California League honors. #TridentsUp...
The Minnesota Twins traded Jorge Polanco to the Seattle Mariners during the offseason, but their affection for the 30-year-old veteran has not waned. "He's one of my favorites," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said of Polanco.

Offense dulls Castillo’s gem with another punchless performance
Conventional baseball wisdom would have you believe that making a pitcher work usually results in positive outcomes for the offense. Today the Mariners, defiers of convention, worked nine full counts, and they scored exactly one (1) run. That’s because all those full counts often ended up in outs or strikeouts—four strikeouts, to be exact, en route to an eye-wateringly-bad...

The Mariners face off against a tough AL opponent in the Twins
The good news is, after getting a weirdly rare divisional matchup in the previous series, the Mariners get to play another AL opponent over the next four games. The bad news is it’s the Twins, maybe the hottest team in baseball over the last couple of weeks.
Tonight’s game, headlined by Luis Castillo vs. Simeon Woods Richardson, is the only game the Mariners are actually favored to win....

Everybody is raking
Welcome back to another weekly edition of the Mariners minor league roundup! With the complex league starting early this year, we’ll get a taste of every single player that’s currently stateside (we unfortunately still have to wait for the DSL to start) and no longer have to wait until mid-summer to see how everyone’s performing. That being said, let’s jump right into the major league doorstep, the Pacific Coast...

The Mariners head to Minnesota to face the hottest team in baseball.
Something, something, starting pitching. Something, something, Josh Rojas. I appreciate this game that the Mariners are playing — they’re showing off enough to nab what is now six straight series wins, but not so much that they’re sweeping teams willy-nilly and giving off a false sense of authority. Gotta keep the pressure low, maintain the illusion of...
The Seattle Mariners entered the 2024 season expecting to once again run out one of the deadliest bullpens in the game. Fast forward to now and they have done just that, ranking in the top ten of the league in almost all categories.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Evan James, Zach Mason and Anders Jorstad are here, weak in the knees in the aftermath of the greatest rap beef of all time to talk about…The Mariners? The Mariners! Walter rolled through the Houston Astros last night en route to a 5-0 shutout win with B Money on the rubber this afternoon. While the offense continues to be a bit limp with the stick, there remains much euphoria in sitting atop the AL West. Should we even expect the rotation to regress...

hope this interaction doesn’t lead to any kind of fallout between us
One of the things I’ve liked most about the new Fallout show (don’t worry, no spoilers here) is that the narrative replicates one of the best elements of the narratives from the games, that being escalation. The Fallout games lead the player from fighting simple pests like rats, geckos, or roaches to solving problems for small local towns, to deciding the fates of nations and...
Cal Raleigh slugged a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning as the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 5-4 victory over the host Houston Astros in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday to claim their sixth consecutive series win.

nothin like some morning baseball
After last night’s dominant win against the Houston Astros, the Mariners have a chance to win their sixth series in a row and solidify their AL West lead this morning.
Lineups: Mariners and Astros TwitterTo do so they’ll be facing off against Hunter Brown, who has not exactly had the smoothest start to his 2024 campaign. As it’s still kind of early in the season, his 9.78 ERA may seem to simply be bad...
