It’s spring but it’s definitely not spring training anymore, as 30,000 fans shivered through the Mariners-Guardians series finale before being rewarded by a convincing 8-0 win. It might have felt like spring training metaphorically though, as the runs stacked up for the Mariners, and Emerson Hancock carried his impressive spring into the chilly confines of […]

After a heartbreakingly close loss last night, the Mariners will look to avoid losing their first series of the season today against Cleveland. Emerson Hancock will make his season debut for Seattle. Thanks to Zach Mason, who accidentally wrote this preview for Hancock when he’s actually recapping Castillo’s start against the Yankees tomorrow. All mine […]
Having had a while to process last night’s 6-5 loss against the Guardians, I have determined that as far as losses go, I’m pretty okay with this one. Yes, there were incredibly frustrating things: the bullpen coughing up a key run after some questionable decisions, the utter lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, […]
The Mariners picked up their first singles of the season but couldn’t get much action until too late. The Mariners entered the ninth inning Saturday with six hits and six walks and just two runs to show for it. They trailed the Guardians 3-2 when Cole Young leadoff the inning by plopping a a soft […]

The Mariners and Guardians will go for history Saturday in just their third game of the season. The Mariners do not have a single yet. They are the first team ever to not have a single in their first two games of a season. There have only been nine instances in history where a team […]
After the always-odd scheduled Sunday off day, the Dodgers are back at on the homestand by hosting the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. Roki Sasaki makes the start for the Dodgers after a terrible spring training in a still-unrealized search for command. The Dodgers have stood behind Sasaki during his struggles, and […]
Tonight’s game started off on a sour note, with another first-inning bomb from Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter, already his third on the season. It seemed to foreshadow a replay of last night’s loss. But the next batter flipped the vibes, as Cole Young went full extension to corral a hard-hit grounder from Jose Ramírez and […]

For an offense that was supposed to add more contact and on-base ability this off-season, it was a disappointing showing from the Mariners on Opening Day in front of a sold-out (as announced by the Mariners) crowd. The Mariners hitters combined for 14 strikeouts, scoring all their runs on solo homers. They only had two […]

The weight of expectations is now a burden the Seattle Mariners must carry with them this year. To rise so high last season, only to be let down in the end, eight outs away from the franchise’s first World Series appearance. To stand so close to unknown territory, only to be turned away, produces the […]
The 2026 MLB season kicked off on Wednesday night when the San Francisco Giants hosted the New York Yankees. Today the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians play their first of 162 games of the season, as the Reds host the Boston Red Sox, and the Guardians travel to Seattle to battle the Mariners. The goal […]

Good morning friends! The day is finally upon us: MLB Opening Day! The Yankees and Giants will kick off the 2026 season in a matchup broadcast on Netflix with first pitch at 5:05pm PT. The Mariners will get their season started tomorrow against the Guardians. Do you have a favorite Opening Day memory? Either an […]
Next time, it counts. Because this time, it sure didn’t. Michael Soroka was slapped around, allowing as many hits as outs recorded – ten of each. The D-backs allowed the Guardians to run the tally of unanswered runs, between yesterday and today, to thirteen before finally getting on the board at Chase Field for the […]
Next time, it will count. Today, however? Expect a fairly laid-back game, with most of the regulars checking out after a couple of at-bats. Whether you will be able to tell the difference between that and last night’s two-hit shutout, is a valid question. But after today, we can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief […]
Sometimes you’re the bug, and sometimes you’re the windscreen. After a ten-run victory in the Cactus League finale yesterday, it was not a happy return to Chase Field for the D-backs. They were held to just two hits – both of them off the bat of Pavin Smith – as former Diamondback Slade Cecconi and […]
Hello friends and happy Saturday! The Mariners have been fully re-formed following the conclusion of the World Baseball Classic, and they celebrated by putting together their best performance of the spring in a 20-8 win over their soon-to-be Opening Day competitors — the Cleveland Guardians. With his two home runs, Cole Young is now third […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers are making a farce of the league. After winning back-to-back championships on the back of impossibly stacked rosters, they gave the best free agent on the market almost as much guaranteed money over the next four years than the White Sox, Guardians, and Marlins’ entire 2026 team payrolls combined. It is […]
