The Mariners dropped back below the .500 mark today, as their 6-5 loss to the Guardians put Seattle’s record at 42-43. Despite the lackluster record, the M’s are only a half-game behind the Rangers for the AL West lead, and the crowded division race also has the Astros and A’s within two games of first […]
Austin Hedges and Josh Naylor had some verbal exchanges for each other during the Cleveland Guardians’ clash with the Seattle Mariners on Sunday night. Naylor and Hedges played together for four full seasons together on the Guardians and San Diego Padres. They last played together in 2024 before Cleveland traded Naylor to the Arizona Diamondbacks […] The post Guardians’ Austin Hedges makes wild claim right to Josh Naylor’s face appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Mariners finally broke through their three-run cap to score five runs in a game, but a bullpen meltdown in the eighth meant the Mariners took a loss anyway in the season finale against the Guardians, 6-5. The loss means the Mariners fall out of first place in the AL West, meaning Mariners fans don’t […]
Guardians 6, Mariners 5 Scoring four runs and winning: Victor Robles, .10 WPA; Emerson Hancock .20 WPA Scoring four runs and losing: Michael Rucker, -.29 WPA This is still a very good comment, even if the Mariners are Very Bad
A three-run homer from Randy Arozarena wasn’t enough for the M’s to overcome the Guardians last night, but they’ll look to both clinch the season series against Cleveland today and avoid setting a franchise record for consecutive games of scoring three or fewer runs. Lineups: Dominic Canzone unsurprisingly has the day off due to his […]
The Baltimore Orioles have had a frustrating 2026 MLB season thus far, currently sitting at 39-45 ahead of Sunday afternoon’s series finale against the Washington Nationals at home. The Orioles have played the last several games without catcher Adley Rutschman, who sustained a concussion in a recent game against the Seattle Mariners on June 18. […] The post Orioles make Adley Rutschman injury move appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Happy Sunday everybody! I’m back! I sincerely hope that I bring some offense with me. Time will tell, as it so often does. The Mariners offense continues to spurt and sputter as it has now been THIRTEEN days since the team has scored more than three runs in a game. One way or another, the […]
The Mariners lost to the Guardians, 4-3, and are now 42-42 on the season. I am not a particular Douglas Adams fan but read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as a middle-schooler, as one does, so I could understand my older cousins’ inside jokes. 42, of course, is the answer to ultimate question of […]
Guardians 4, Mariners 3 Groundhog Day as a movie: Randy Arozarena, .14 WPA Groundhog Day for your baseball team: J.P. Crawford, -.17 WPA; Colt Emerson, -.16 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
While the Mariners’ streak of scoring three or fewer runs didn’t end last night, they were able to pull out a win against the Guardians on their home turf. Another win would clinch the season series, so it would behoove the M’s to continue their winning ways – but maybe with some more runs this […]
The Seattle Mariners made a move in their shallow bullpen, optioning RHP Alex Hoppe to Triple-A Tacoma and recalling LHP Josh Simpson from the Rainiers. The move comes in front of two more games with the Cleveland Guardians, whose lineup is incredibly lefty-heavy. It’s the easiest to understand reasoning behind the move for the M’s, […]
The Seattle Mariners are struggling offensively. Yes, their team wRC+ is around league-average. Yes, they are finally running nearly their entire full healthy lineup out for the first time all season (save Bringo Dingo, may your groin heal in peace). But Seattle entered Saturday 25th in MLB in runs per game at 4.02, a 651 […]
Despite the Mariners winning this afternoon’s game against the Guardians, the big story was a standout performance from Cleveland’s starter, Joey Cantillo, and his newfound love of the curveball. The curveball’s fallen out of fashion in MLB lately. Just 8.2% of the pitches this season have been big benders, the second-lowest since 2008, despite the […]
Mariners 3 (obviously), Guardians 1 The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Josh Naylor, -0.24 WPAThe Rock, on a roll: Luis Castillo, +0.24 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
The Mariners travel to the Mistake on the Lake to see if they can put some of their own recent follies behind them. They will have the luxury of playing a Guardians team that lacks its best player, as José Ramírez is still on the IL as a participant in the Year of the Hamate. […]
The Cleveland Guardians designated outfielder Stuart Fairchild for assignment ahead of Friday’s game against the Seattle Mariners, the team announced. Catcher/outfielder Cooper Ingle was promoted to the big league ball club in a corresponding move. Fairchild, 30, hit just .158/.407/.158 across 14 games played with Cleveland. He did not record an extra-base hit, but Fairchild […] The post Guardians DFA outfielder ahead of Mariners clash appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The Mariners have not scored more than three runs in a single game since dropping 10 on the Nationals way back on June 12. Over the last two weeks, they’ve dropped from second in the AL in wRC+ (107) to eighth (101)! They’ve gone 4-7 during this cold snap and have lost merely a half […]
Good morning folks and happy Friday! The Mariners had another stinker of a performance last night, dropping the series finale to the Pirates 5-1 which brings them back to .500 on the season. The M’s will try to get back in the win column with the first of three games in Cleveland starting this afternoon. […]
The Seattle Mariners lead the American League West, but their bullpen has a problem that could cost them in October if they do not address it before the August 3 deadline. Jim Bowden of The Athletic identified Boston's Aroldis Chapman and New York 's Luke Weaver as two relievers Seattle should pursue, describing both as nearly ideal fits for what the Mariners need. ESPN previously named Seattle as the top potential trade fit for Chapman. The Closer Question The issue is Andres Munoz. T...
Despite the inconsistency with which the Houston Astros has played with all season long, they remain in the thick of the division race, standing at just 1.5 games behind the AL West-leading Seattle Mariners. On Thursday night, the Astros scored a solid 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers, with Tatsuya Imai turning in the best […] The post Astros’ Tatsuya Imai gets vote of confidence from Joe Espada after shutting down Tigers appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Houston Astros are keeping things interesting in the American League West, as they continue to breathe down the necks of the division-leading Seattle Mariners. With their 2-1 victory in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday at Comerica Park in Detroit, the Astros improved to 40-43 and extended their winning streak to […] The post Tatsuya Imai’s jaw-dropping dominance will have Astros fans thinking about playoffs appeared first on ClutchPoints .
In a year of anniversarial festivity across the United States, a less rounded celebration will make its annual occurrence in just a month and change. The 105th anniversary of the first radio broadcast of a baseball game will occur on August 5th. That initial voyage on the airwaves was appropriately undertaken by MLB’s most ancient […]
