Wrapping up the season with the second worst record in the California League, it was a tough year to be a 66ers fan.

Reviewing the surprising Orioles’ bullpen of 2026

The Orioles’ disappointing season can be attributed to poor offensive and defensive performances by key players, and injuries to some others. It can’t be attributed to the bullpen. Perhaps the most surprising stat about Oriole relievers is that they pitched the fourth-fewest innings in baseball, 573. Only the Dodgers, Phillies and Mariners used the bullpen […]

What if the 2026 Seattle Mariners made the playoffs?

We all know the Seattle Mariners did not make the playoffs in 2026, but what this post presupposes is……maybe they did? If you didn’t get the reference, now you do.
