The White Sox had a week that could very well be described as average, as they did in fact go 3-3. A closer look of the lost series to the Angels and the series victory against the Mariners will tell you a story of midweek missed opportunity capped on either end with quite the dominant […]
Three runs of offense and five innings from a starter aren’t the typical blueprint for a Mariners win, but the bullpen – missing two of its leverage arms – made those three runs hold up in a 3-1 victory in the series opener with the Astros. This game got off to a frustrating start: the […]

Over the weekend in Chicago, Ryan Divish reported that Domingo González was present in the visiting clubhouse in case José A. Ferrer’s wife went into delivery. Ferrer stuck around, working out of a bases loaded jam on Sunday unscathed, but he did not end up making the trip to Houston with the rest of the […]
The Mariners took another two steps backwards over the weekend after such a promising start to their week last week. The 12-run outburst on Friday was very good to see but to follow that up by scoring two runs total over the final two games in Chicago was a huge let down. It feels like […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma squandered a series split with an extra-innings loss in Sunday’s contest, dropping the six game set by a score of 4-2. Despite the loss, the series still managed to provide plenty of outstanding performances offensively, perhaps providing a glimpse at a few bats that could be up with the Mariners awfully soon. […]

Good morning! A frustrating 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox last night saw a Logan Gilbert gem erased in the eighth inning, and a lack of Mariner run support gave Chicago the series win. George Kirby will take the mound tonight at 5:10 PM in a new four-game series against the Houston Astros. The […]
The biggest homestand of the season is upon us and to kick things off, we sit down with Angie Mentink from the Seattle Mariners broadcast team. Q: Let’s start with the injuries that Dan Wilson has had to juggle and manage, albeit Cal Raleigh is back. Injuries are certainly something Astros fans can relate to. […]
Eduard Bazardo yielded the two runs the Chicago White Sox needed to beat the Seattle Mariners today. His 1-2 breaking ball to veteran OF Randal Grichuk floated over the heart of the plate like a miscategorized deluxe roll of conveyer belt sushi on the cheapest designated plate. Grichuk’s solo shot tied things at 1-1 in […]

Oh whoops hey there’s baseball today isn’t there. Logan Gilbert gets the start for the Mariners. Davis Martin gets the start for the White Sox. Martin is a righty which means the Mariners will send their good lineup, with Brendan Donovan leading off in his second start back from injury. It’s a beautiful day for […]
The White Sox are finally having a shred of success after being absolutely barren for three straight years. What does that mean? It means it’s time to start complaining about the disrespect shown to the South Side by [insert national media apparatus here]. Legal sports gambling is an absolute and utter plague upon humanity and […]
The Mariners lost a bummer of a game in Chicago yesterday but still have a chance at a series win tomorrow at 11:10 am PST. Happy Sunday everybody! In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
May 12th marks an anniversary that Oswaldo Cabrera isn’t necessarily celebrating. It was on that day last year that the Yankees infielder suffered a gruesome injury during a play at home plate in Seattle against the Mariners. In the ninth inning of a Yankees 11-5 win, Cabrera was on third base when he tagged up […]
Ending their short-lived losing streak, the Chicago White Sox tied the series against the Seattle Mariners with a 6-1 win, and the longball got the job done. Sam Antonacci led off the ballgame with an opposite-field single to left-center, and his heart-and-hustle nature paved way for a stolen base and an aggressive tag from second […]
After a 12-run explosion yesterday, the Mariners couldn’t summon up a ton of offense, and their pitchers gave up three homers in a 6-1 loss against the White Sox. Luis Castillo couldn’t wiggle out of some first-inning trouble after giving up a leadoff single to Sam Antonacci on a fastball that came in at 95 […]

After dropping the first game of this nine-game homestand last night and on a three-game losing streak, the Chicago White Sox will rely on Anthony Kay to provide a lead the turnaround. Kay (1-1, 5.70 ERA, 7.62 xERA) has struggled with consistency in the early going and hasn’t pitched into the sixth inning since April […]
Sniff deep, and you can nearly smell .500 once again. Seattle will seek a second consecutive series win this evening as the Mariners face off against the Chicago White Sox today at 4:10pm Pacific time on the usual locations. Seattle outslugged the ChiSox Friday night, in a recap you can enjoy here. In Mariners news… […]
What appeared to be a pitcher’s duel between two young pitchers quickly turned into a game of “first to 10.” After sitting down the Seattle Mariners in order and going into the second inning with a lead thanks to another Munetaka Murakami tank, things quickly unraveled for the White Sox, as they dropped the opener […]
Luke Raley’s done a lot of things in his career. He’s the rare Mariner who can both get to the third deck in right field and also routinely bunt for a base hit. He burst into fans’ hearts in 2024 by doing exactly that. But something he’s never done is hit a grand slam. At […]
