Latest news and updates about the Mariners
Shamelessly stealing this question from Jacob Hausdorf in the Moose Tracks yesterday because once Star Wars comes up, that’s just like tossing a package of snausages into a kennel, but I thought this question merited some focused discussion: Which non-Mariners pitcher and hitter are you most excited to watch this spring? Bonus if they’re in […]
Good Morning! The Mariners fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in yesterday’s Spring Training action. Logan Gilbert’s first start of the spring showcased his deadly splitter as he worked through two scoreless innings, allowing one hit with two strikeouts and two walks. Gilbert reiterated recently that his goal for every season is 32 starts […]
Alex Vesia pitched a scoreless inning on Monday against the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch, which in itself wasn’t all that irregular. After all, the left-hander has been a staple in the Dodgers bullpen for four years, including 142 scoreless appearances lasting at least one inning last season during that time, most on the Dodgers. […]
Well, that was more spring baseball. The Mariners fourth Spring Training game on Monday was more of the same: weak at bats, sloppy play, and a bunch of names so unremarkable they didn’t even bother printing them on the jerseys. I still enjoyed it, though. These games might be meaningless, but they are still baseball, […]
The Dodgers are on a roll to begin the spring as they notched their third consecutive victory with a 3-0 shutout win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Landon Knack was given the start for Monday’s contest, making quick work of the Mariners by facing the minimum in the first inning while tossing just nine […]
The Dodgers play their first home game of the spring as they take on the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch. Landon Knack gets the start for the Dodgers. MONDAY GAME INFO
Hey, we’re about 10% through Spring Training. Logan Gilbert makes his first start of the spring. Gilbert is one of the Mariners many tinkerers, and I’ll be watching to see if he debuts any new pitches or pitch shapes this afternoon. It’ll be nice to see him, regardless. Cole Young and Colt Emerson each return […]
For the first time in site history, our annual preview of the Seattle Mariners’ opponents in the American League West can be done from a mountaintop perch. Looking down upon the rest of the division, the reigning AL West champions will hang their first division title banner in the rafters since 2001, and are well-positioned […]

Happy Monday! The Mariners are coming off a comeback 14-8 win over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, featuring game-altering RBIs from outfield prospects Jonny Farmelo and Brennen Davis. The game also included a total of nine challenges using the new ABS system, six of which were eventually overturned from home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski’s original calls. […]
The Cincinnati Reds fell to 0-2 in Cactus League play after a 14-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners at home in Goodyear on Sunday afternoon. Let’s take a closer look at what went down. The Good Veteran righty Randy Dobnak has thrown exactly 15.0 big league innings since the end of the 2021 season. He […]
If you turned this game off in the second inning, that’d be understandable. Maybe you are one of the many people who woke up incredibly early to watch the US men’s hockey team gold medal match against Canada. Also, this lazy Sunday game was the first radio-only affair of the spring, held down by the […]
The Mariners close up the first weekend of Spring Training 2026 with a game against the Reds. As opposed to the B-lineup we saw yesterday, today looks more like the spring training opener, aside from those last three. Top prospect Michael Arroyo gets another chance at second base, and the left side of the infield […]
The Cincinnati Reds dropped their Cactus League opener on Saturday as the Cleveland Guardians downed them to the tune of 4 to 2. The good news, though, is twofold. For one, the final score of these games means absolutely nothing right now. Second, today the Reds are actually rolling out a lineup full of their […]
The Dodgers on Monday make their 2026 Camelback Ranch debut, hosting the Mariners for their third Cactus League game on the schedule. Landon Knack gets the ball to start for the Dodgers, after a rough second season in the majors in 2025. Knack had a 4.89 ERA and 5.66 xERA in 10 games last year, […]
One of the things about having a more established team is there are fewer spring training roster battles. Backup catcher isn’t exactly the most glamorous position, especially when backing up one of the league’s more famous iron men, but it is one of the things we have to watch this spring alongside the yearly bullpen […]
It’s all still here. The Mariners played their second game of Spring Training on Saturday, the first of 33 consecutive Saturday games in 2026. There was noticeably less excitement around the blogosphere for this matchup, the novelty of the new season already faded, laying bare the sloppy, non-competitive play of February baseball. But it was […]
And we’re back. Yesterday we got our first taste of Mariners baseball for 2026 , which is a great milestone to mark off the calendar. The pomp and circumstance may be somewhat lesser today, but we do get our first reminder for the steady rhythm of the season: the Mariners play every Saturday from now […]
Good day everyone! It’s Saturday, and we’ve got some news from around the league to share with you. In Mariners news… Around the league…
On Saturday, we get to watch the Detroit Tigers play a baseball game for the first time since their ALDS loss to the Mariners. A lot has happened in the interim, and it’s great to be back. Truth be told, how to watch Tigers baseball is still up in the air as Grapefruit League action […]
I’ve been saying it all offseason. Larnach is redundant and unnecessary with the Twins’ current roster construction. Let’s get more specific this time. Larnach is a perfectly good bat with a knack for hitting with runners in scoring position. He’s very limited defensively and on the base paths which is fine for other teams to […]
Spring Training is officially upon us! The wintry woes of the offseason are behind us as San Diego Padres faced off against the Seattle Mariners at their shared complex in Peoria, Ariz. for the first game of the year. Baseball is back! While a great deal of prospects got plenty of use today, and will […]
It’s been four months since the Seattle Mariners played a baseball game. Four months can feel like a long time. A lot happened: the holidays came and went, various roster moves were (and weren’t) made, Rick Rizzs announced his impending retirement, the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, nearly the entirety of the Winter Olympics have […]
One upshot of the Mariners’ deep playoff run in 2025 is that fans have been gifted with the shortest offseason in Mariners history. It’s been exactly four months since Game 7 of the ALCS. Those four months have contained multitudes: a rollercoaster of emotions, the stages of grief, one of the most exciting free agent […]
Instead of writing about Cal Raleigh’s 2025 season, I’d like to show you a few pitches that caught my attention. April 17, bottom of the tenth The Mariners had stormed back in the ninth inning to tie the game and send it to extras (thanks to a Cal Raleigh home run), which meant that Cal […]
