Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Phillies brought the drama this weekend, while an umpire somehow found himself at the center of controversy after confronting a pitcher making his MLB debut. We break down all of that, plus the Blue Jays’ resurgence, the Mariners and Orioles falling apart, the latest on Shohei Ohtani, which AL teams can actually beat the Dodgers in October, and a new MLB Power Rankings. Should the umpire be punished for what he did? Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:52 Braves/Phillies Drama 2:4...
Remember the Midshipman’s Log? Good times, everybody. There is something so satisfying about following the minor league teams and prospects. It makes a Brock Rodden debut more exciting and rewarding than it probably should (if Spencer Packard ever debuts, I can’t wait to reminisce about how he raked for Everett back in 2022), and in […]
Hosts Brock Huard and Mike Salk (Brock & Salk – weekdays 6-10a) are joined by former MLB player and current Mariners analyst Ryon Healy to discuss the highs and lows of the M’s vs Athletics 4 game series. —- 📰: For more Mariners coverage from SeattleSports.com, visit: https://sports.mynorthwest.com/category/mariners/ 🎧: More info on The Brock & Salk Show here: https://sports.mynorthwest.com/category/brock-and-salk/
When Cal Raleigh steps to the plate at T-Mobile Park for these final few weeks of the 2026 season, Mariners fans might be surprised to hear a different walkup song for their catcher. Raleigh has long favored Washington-born Zach Top’s “Bad Luck”, which he’d been using since last season, but also has a taste for […]

It’s not just the A’s. Following his historic 60 HR season in 2025, who in their right mind would have predicted that Cal Raleigh would spend the first half of the 2026 batting .169/.271/.310? That same Raleigh appears to have shaken off the demons and is back to homering at his 2025 pace lately, with […]
A very merry “Mariners won yesterday” to all, and to all a “they can’t lose today” this night. Oh, and happy Labor Day! In Mariners news: Around the league:
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Mark Prior, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1998 – Mariners’ OF Ken Griffey, Jr. has four hits, including two homers, and reaches the 50-home run level. He’s the third player to do so in successive seasons. Seattle defeats the Orioles, 11 – 1, […]
The field of viable MLB playoff teams is starting to narrow, and with three full weeks of regular-season baseball remaining, it's make-or-break time for teams on the postseason bubble.
The former first-round pick ended his playing career with two seasons in Japan.
When Bryan Woo had his 13-strikeout performance against the Angels on September 13, 2025, the Mariners’ social team anointed him “Leonardo de Wooski” with tiny art emoji, a nickname that his teammates (okay, Bryce Miller) have enjoyed poking fun at ever since. But today’s performance might have surpassed even that baker’s dozen of strikeouts, where […]
The Athletics faced the Seattle Mariners in the series finale of their four-game series. The Mariners avoided a four-game sweep, salvaging the final matchup with a 2-0 victory behind a career-best performance from Bryan Woo. The Bay Area native faced little resistance from the A’s offense in the two-and-a-half-hour ballgame. Early Pitching Duel Both Woo […]
Mariners 2, Athletics 0 Sunny Sundays: Bryan Woo, +.45 WPA Gloomy Tuesdays: Michael Arroyo, -.08 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
It’s been a whirlwind 12 hours for Michael Arroyo, who got notice just after finishing his game last night for Triple-A Tacoma that he would be getting on a plane from Albuquerque to Seattle to make his big-league debut. Arroyo got on a plane in Albuquerque at 6 AM; by 10 AM he was in […]
The Mariners will look to avoid the ignominy of being mopped at home – something that they’ve managed to avoid since August 2017 – by the lowly A’s this afternoon, but hey, we’ll be treated to another big league debut! In case you didn’t know, we love those around here, and it’s at least something […]
The Athletics have played spoiler all weekend, winning the first three games of the series against the Seattle Mariners to deal another blow to their division rivals’ playoff hopes. The A’s need one more win to complete a four-game sweep in what has been one of their best-played series during an otherwise forgettable second half […]
1:08pm: Seattle has announced Arroyo’s promotion. To clear space, the team optioned infielder Patrick Wisdom to Tacoma and moved right-hander Nick Davila from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. Davila will miss the rest of the season with an SC joint sprain. 1:01pm: The Mariners are promoting outfield/second base prospect Michael Arroyo from […]
The Mariners lost pathetically yesterday to drop the series to the A’s. The beauty and the curse of the long MLB season is that win or lose, you get to go back and do it again the next day. Big win? You get to go back out the next day and keep trying to build […]
There have been worse losses this year, a season that’s been nothing but pear-shaped for the M’s practically right out of the gate. Off the top of my head, there were the heartbreakers in San Diego and in Houston, the historic blowout in Milwaukee – and in the friendly confines at T-Mobile Park – and […]
Athletics 6, Mariners 2 September 2025: Cal Raleigh, +.07 WPA September 2026: George Kirby, -.20 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Seems a game thread is needed, so here’s one. Springs vs. Kirby if you’re wondering (and even if you’re not).
We’re three days into the “soft” part of the schedule to round out the year, and the last two games against these A’s have been… suboptimal is the polite way to put it. The best the M’s can hope for at this point in this four-game series is a split, and George Kirby will be […]
The Seattle Mariners are squandering their last chance to make the MLB playoffs.
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Labor Day Weekend! The M’s fell to ten games under .500, losing 7-6 to the A’s. Now seven games back of the Astros, I think a fork can be safely stuck in the 2026 Mariners season. The string demands to be played out, though, and if you’re a true glutton […]
Dear September Baseball, The heat of August has given way to your cooler air, and the last several days of cloud cover and occasional drizzle have driven me further into the seasonal mood that you bring annually. Also, the Mariners just lost their second straight home game to the division rival Athletics, 7-6, that helped […]
