Before his current six-game hit streak, Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco was finding other ways to contribute to a club that sits atop the American League West.

Pretty much every doctor in America can tell you about Willie Sutton, which is surprising because Sutton was neither a medical researcher nor a victim of a famous accident or disease. No, Willie Sutton was a bank robber who stole almost $2 million over four decades and escaped from prison three times. And doctors know him for an apocryphal quote. Asked why he robbed banks, he supposedly said, “Because that’s where the...

Be like a goldfish
Well last night sure happened! I will present two sunny sides. First, I just find it pretty remarkable that a game that was basically a disaster was still only lost 5-3.
Second, the starters have now completed four full turns through the rotation since one of them allowed more than two earned runs. The last time a starter allowed more than two earned runs was April 9. Today is May 4. Over those 20 starts, they have allowed 20 earned...

Hug Watch season has come early.
Good morning folks, and May the Fourth Be With You to all who celebrate! Let’s kick off the weekend with some links.
In Mariners news... Patrick Dubuque at Baseball Prospectus wonders what’s going on with the Mariners offense. ($) Oh man...what could have been.What had Dusty Baker and I laughing on May 6 last season?
I was giving him the business on the 2022 ALDS series that ended in a 1-0 18-inning...
One sign of fortune finally favoring the Houston Astros this season came in the top of the eighth inning against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Clinging to a two-run lead with two runners in scoring position, Houston reliever Ryan Pressly induced a fly ball to medium right field off the bat of Mitch Haniger.
It was hard to quickly understand what happened on the wild play.
Jose Altuve deposited a perfect bunt single down the third-base line with two outs in the seventh inning, the lone run-scoring hit of a four-run frame that lifted the Houston Astros to a 5-3 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Friday.

Mariners spoil Kirby’s gem, lose to Astros in early season leader for dumbest game of the year
How many more times can we say this? The Astros outmaneuvered the Mariners tonight, as the Mariners came apart at the seams in the seventh inning, allowing a precious lead to evaporate into the Houston night, and with it, some degree of hope of winning the series. Looking much more the nightmare Astros of recent vintage than these early-season Lastros, the Mariners...

the Mariners begin another road trip with a rare face-off against a division rival
Somehow, the two Texas teams have already faced each other twice, while the Mariners have seen one (1) in-division rival so far this season; they’ll see their second this series, as they travel to Houston to take on the Astros, who have stumbled out of the gate so far this season.
However, that stumble doesn’t prevent FanGraphs from favoring the Astros in every...

The starters have allowed 19 earned runs in 19 games. Surely that’s sustainable, right??
Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. Did you know the Seattle Mariners are in first place in the AL West as of today May 3? It’s true. Who would’ve thought? Not me! If you’ve been watching the team closely so far and perhaps pulling some hair out at times over the lack of consistent hitting,...

The Mariners head to Houston to face the last-place Astros.
You’re probably familiar by now with the struggles the Astros have faced so far in 2024, but let’s recap: they have already been swept four times this season, by the Yankees, Royals, Braves, and Cubs. However, when they’re not getting swept, the Astros have actually won their five other series, and split one against Texas, who they’ve already played twice this season. Oh yeah, also they...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
John Trupin, Evan James and Kate Preusser are here on May 2nd to talk about your first place, best in the west Mariners. Yes indeed, the Mariners exited the month of April with a decadent 17-13 record that has been the wind beneath our wings. Will Woo be replacing Hancock shortly? What do we make of the continuing strikeouts? Can the pitching get even better? Are we concerned about Julio at the plate? What should the nickname for the rotation be? How can...
