The Diamondbacks came into the game looking for a series win, and with a little bit of luck, putting some more space between their competition for the final NL Wild Card spot.

I came into this game feeling as steeped in negativity and creeping doomerism regarding our offense’s recent struggles as I would imagine the rest of you all have been. It is, after all, a rather remarkable thing we achieved over the previous five games—only scoring six runs across forty-five innings, and having failed to drive […]

Good morning, foLLks, and happy Labor Day Weekend! The M’s fell to ten games under .500, losing 7-6 to the A’s. Now seven games back of the Astros, I think a fork can be safely stuck in the 2026 Mariners season. The string demands to be played out, though, and if you’re a true glutton […]
