The Boston Red Sox were on the wrong end of a lopsided loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday. The Yankees dropped 16 runs on Boston at Yankee Stadium to send Boston home embarrassed. Ahead of their next series against the Seattle Mariners, Boston is shaking up its rotation a bit. “Righthander Sonny Gray, […]

The Mariners are calling outfield prospect Lazaro Montes up for his MLB debut, according to reporter Francys Romero. Montes will join the team on Tuesday in Boston when rosters expand to 28 players, as per Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, plus another transaction will need to be made to create space for Montes on […]
The Mariners got swept by an old man. The sources of embarrassment in this 2026 Mariners season keep getting weirder and less likely. Max Scherzer, the oldest player on any active roster in the majors — and perhaps the worst — dominated the Seattle lineup for seven innings on Sunday, wracking up 10 strikeouts and […]
Toronto Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer has had plenty of ups and downs throughout the 2026 campaign. But on Sunday, he put together a vintage performance that further etched his name in MLB’s history books. Scherzer pitched seven innings of scoreless baseball against the Seattle Mariners, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out […]

Mariners 0 Blue Jays 7 I was worried about Max Scherzer getting the start today, but he was terrific. Seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk with ten strikeouts. He passes Gaylord Perry for ninth all-time in strikeouts. He now has 3535 strikeouts. He needs 20 more to pass Justin Verlander for […]

The Astros inability to address their poor offensive outfield production for the past 2 seasons continues to dog them as they come down the stretch, fighting for their playoff lives, clinging to a very narrow 2-game lead over the Texas Rangers in the AL West with the Seattle Mariners lurking 4 games back. There are […]
The Mariners will look to avoid a sweep in Toronto. Logan Gilbert gets the start for the Mariners. The rotation has failed to go at least five innings six times over the last 14 games, eating up what was until recently a shortened bullpen. Bryce Miller, who was initially set to start Sunday, has since […]
The last game of the three game series with the Mariners. Another win would be nice. Yesterday’s celebration for Buck Martinez was great and getting a win after didn’t suck either. I’m busy till game time so getting the thread together early. I don’t have the lineups yet, but it is Max Scherzer vs. Logan […]
The Mariners are placing right-hander Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list, according to a team announcement. Hancock, whose placement is retroactive to August 29th, has a left adductor strain. Fellow righty Nick Davila is being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Hancock drew the loss in Friday’s game against the Blue Jays. […]
The Mariners continued to prove the doubters correct yesterday by losing an incredibly winnable game and securing a series loss in Toronto. Logan Gilbert will go against Max Scherzer at 10:37 PST to try to find some momentum to take to Boston. In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…

Seattle’s see-saw season has seen more sawing downward under the sea level of .500 than it has seen not doing that, and coming into today’s game they were sitting seven games below that level. The last few weeks, in small amounts, have seen the Mariners tepidly challenge that perception. Coming into the series in Toronto, […]
Buck Martinez, the former player, manager, and longtime announcer for the Toronto Blue Jays, was one of the first members inducted into the team’s new Hall of Excellence on Saturday ahead of their game against the Seattle Mariners. The Hall of Excellence is a refreshed edition of the team’s previous Level of Excellence, which was…
Mariners 3 Blue Jays 4 That was a terrific celebration for Buck Martinez. Seeing Tony Fernandez’s widow started me tearing up, and it didn’t stop until the first pitch of the game. Congratulations, Buck. You deserve that. The Jays got a very nice start from José Soriano. Seven innings, just five hits, two walks and […]
Kinda weird that the schedulers had the M’s on an off day on a Friday yesterday, huh? No matter, though, because today we get Kade Anderson’s second career big league start, and first one away from the friendly confines of T-Mobile Park. While the Mariners won in an absolute thriller in his debut, I think […]
It is Buck Martinez Day. He’ll join the ‘Hall of Excellence’, which just opened Game two against the Mariners. I hope it goes much the same as yesterday. And it is game #137. The Jays plan to have Spencer Arrighetti start Tuesday, Dylan Cease Wednesday and Jose Soriano Thurday against the Guardians. Jameson Taillon threw […]
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease extended one of baseball’s longest modern strikeout streaks Friday, becoming the first pitcher since Randy Johnson in 2001 to record at least seven strikeouts in 19 consecutive starts. Cease struck out eight across six innings in Toronto’s 8-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre. He allowed four […]

Hello friends and happy Saturday! It was a sad Friday night for the M’s, who dropped the first game to the Blue Jays by an 8-1 final. We don’t need to dwell on this one too much. Let’s get you caught up on the rest of the happenings from around baseball. In Mariners news… Around […]
The Yankees’ offense was up to its old tricks on Friday, mustering a mere solo shot by Paul Goldschmidt and three hits in total against the middling Patrick Sandoval and the Red Sox bullpen. They even had extra chances granted due to four walks, but still never came up with the big hit when runners […]
Mariners 1 Blue Jays 8 Today’s game was soooo much more fun than yesterday’s. First, Dylan Cease was excellent—six innings, just four hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. The run against was a home run by the second batter of the day. We were a little worried for a moment. But just a moment. He […]
Despite working with some of his worst stuff of the season, Dylan Cease carved through the Mariners’ lineup tonight. The Cy Young frontrunner did it the same way he did when he faced Seattle two months ago: sliders and changeups tumbling, pushing the Mariners to chase the fastball high. The meanest pitch was the one […]
Blue Jays 8, Mariners 1 Notes from a secret admirer: Dominic Canzone, +0.03 WPAKeeping secrets: Emerson Hancock, -0.26 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
Just be a better game than yesterday’s game. It is a simple ask. Admittedly, it would be hard to be worse. The season has me thinking about the value of hitting coaches. The Jays had a disappointing 2024 season, and reshaped the hitting coaching staff. And last year they hit well. Lots of praise to […]
Likely Cy Young winner vs. the 2026 Seattle Mariners. What could go wrong? The last time the Mariners ran into the Cease buzzsaw, he came away with nine strikeouts over seven innings, with a walk, two singles, and a double. The Mariners’ offense has showed a little more life lately, so maybe they’ll be able […]
