After a fairly successful road trip to the West Coast, the Chicago White Sox welcome the Seattle Mariners to kick off a nine-game homestand. Although two straight losses have soured the taste a bit, Chicago is still 6-4 over their last 10 and still very much in the slow AL Central race. While it hasn’t […]
The Mariners take their talents to the South Side of Chicago tonight, where temperatures will be in the high 50s, with winds under 10 mph and no rain in the forecast. Could the Mariners possibly play a normal game at Guaranteed Rate Field? Emerson Hancock will take the ball for the sailors, fresh off one […]
The Seattle Mariners announced Friday that they have activated UTIL Brendan Donovan from the 10-day injured list. Correspondingly, they’ve optioned C Jhonny Pereda back to Triple-A Tacoma. One sharp game in Double-Arkansas was proof enough on his rehab stint for the Mariners to activate Donovan, who should immediately slot back in atop the M’s lineup […]
The Mariners finally showed some life against a really tough opponent, handing the Braves their first series loss of the season earlier this week. All three games were incredibly close affairs as you would expect in a series between two playoff contenders. Seattle now embarks on a seven-game road trip and the beginning of a […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Friday! After a second consecutive Thursday off-day, the Mariners kick off their fourth road trip of the season today at 4:40pm Pacific time with a three-game set in the South Side of Chicago. Munetaka Murakami has taken the league by storm in the first six weeks of the season; has […]
Ah, the Atlanta Braves and the West Coast. It’s truly a match made in the underworld as far as the Braves are concerned, as the games always just feel like they go one of two ways: Miserable slogs that have you like “I stayed up all night for this?” or miserable slogs that result in […]
Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
Good morning friends and happy Thursday! The M’s polished off a clean 3-1 win over the Braves yesterday to capture the series victory. Bryan Woo had himself a solid bounce-back outing against a good offense, which was great to see. If you could pick one currently-struggling Mariner to return to form over the next week, […]
Well the Braves finally lost a series, losing a 3-game series to the Mariners in Seattle, with a one-run loss and a two-run loss. It is pretty impressive that this far in the season, it took a lot to go wrong for them to lose a series by two small-margin losses like this. On Monday, […]
Bryan Woo sat in the Mariners media room a week ago, adrift. Normally thoughtful, eloquent, and precise in postgame interviews, Woo’s responses were disjointed, starting sentences and trailing off, as he searched for answers to questions posed by the media about his back-to-back rough starts – answers he didn’t have. The last thing he said, […]
All good things must come to an end. This finally applies to the Braves’ series winning streak to start the 2026 season, which came to an end Wednesday in Seattle. After blowing a lead in Monday’s loss and winning Tuesday on Matt Olson’s ninth-inning homer, Atlanta’s bats fell flat in a 3-1 loss in the […]
Mariners 3 Braves 1 Seeing José Ferrer once every three business days: Bryan Woo, .35 WPA José Ferrer every day: Cal Raleigh, -.11 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
The Mariners have an opportunity to close up what’s been a fairly miserable homestand with a series win, but whereas Bryan Woo would previously feel like a lock to keep the Mariners in it, he’s coming off back-to-back starts where he’s, in his own words, gotten his “ass kicked.” He’ll try to rally back today […]
For much of his Mariner tenure, George Kirby has carried the moniker “Furious George,” a tongue-in-cheek nod to his angry mound persona (his other nickname is “Angry Cheddar”, bestowed by Bryce Miller) and a play on the classic children’s book series about a curious monkey. But the 2026 version of George Kirby is a different […]
The Atlanta Braves will look to improve to 6-0 in rubber matches and stay unbeaten in series with Wednesday afternoon’s 4:10 p.m. EDT series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Martín Pérez will be tasked with making another start after he wasn’t used in the bullpen Tuesday night. Jim Jarvis, called up this morning, will make […]
After he was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett Wednesday morning, Jim Jarvis will immediately be making his major league debut for the Braves in Wednesday’s series finale in Seattle. Jarvis, acquired from the Detroit Tigers just before last year’s trade deadline, will hit ninth and play shortstop. He’s gotten off to a hot start in […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners dropped another one-run contest yesterday, falling to the Braves by a 3-2 final. Andrés Muñoz took another tough loss last night, and it’s been an uncharacteristically rocky start for the closer. What is your level of concern for him right now? In Mariners news… Around the league…
The Atlanta Braves reinstated right-hander Raisel Iglesias from the injured list on Tuesday, ahead of the late-night matchup with the Seattle Mariners. The club also designated fellow righty Carlos Carrasco for assignment, and lastly, provided updates on the rehabilitation of Dylan Dodd and Ha-Seong Kim. Iglesias has been lights-out for the Braves so far this […]
George Kirby kept the Braves on the ground for seven innings, but the Mariners struck out 16 times while watching an early lead slip away. Andrés Muñoz allowed the go-ahead homer to Matt Olson in the ninth inning Tuesday, giving the Braves a 3-2 win. The Mariners had gotten out to an early lead on […]
A night after letting another win slip through their fingers, the Atlanta Braves battled back to even the series in Seattle against the Mariners with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday. In the top of the ninth, Matt Olson launched a solo homer off Mariners closer Andrés Munoz to give the Braves a 3-2 lead. Olson […]
Don’t lose the series, Braves! Also, Michael Harris II in left field!
Cal Raleigh is back. Raleigh returns to the Mariners lineup at designated hitter on Tuesday. He’s missed the last three games with “general soreness” in his core, or side, or something. The team hasn’t been too forthcoming with specifics on the injury, and it doesn’t really matter now, because Raleigh is back. He is still […]
Happy Tuesday! In an exciting and much-needed win, the Mariners scored five runs in the sixth inning last night to secure a 5-4 win at home. Home runs from Luke Raley and J.P. Crawford powered starter Logan Gilbert to his second win of the season in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. George Kirby […]
