Well, it turns out the problems with the offense might not be fixed so easily. The Mariners looked more like their early-season selves last night in the series opener against San Diego, eking out just four hits and scoring a lone run on a sac fly. It was a disappointing comedown after the high of […]

No one expected a high scoring game when the San Diego Padres hosted the Seattle Mariners for the first game of a three-game series at Petco Park on Thursday. Michael King was on the mound for the Padres and Bryan Woo was pitching for the Mariners so both offenses knew opportunities to score would be […]
Yesterday the Mariners made the most of their mopportunity against the Astros; the same unfortunately cannot be said for today’s series opener against the Padres. The Mariners put up some good at-bats but were again unable to come through with a big hit, dropping the first game of the Vedder Cup against the Padres by […]

It’s rainy and gray in Seattle but the Mariners are enjoying sunny skies in San Diego for the next three games. After mopping up the Astros this weekend in a weird wraparound series, the Mariners will hope to keep their offensive improvements going against a San Diego team that isn’t quite as battered as the […]

For those of you who have been clamoring to see Patrick Wisdom, rejoice. Mariners GM Justin Hollander today announced that Rob Refsnyder is headed to the paternity list for the birth of his third child. With the lineup desperately lacking righty hitting, the Mariners are bypassing recently-extended top prospect Colt Emerson for now and instead […]
The San Diego Padres have had quite the turnaround in the last week. After opening the season with a middling 5-5 record, they’ve gone 5-1 in the six games since, making them the second club to reach 10 wins (behind only the rivals up the freeway). That turnaround was capped off by a four-game sweep […]
Which teams had the most 1-run games? Frequent 1-Run Games. In games through 8 April, the Rockies and the Diamondbacks were tied for the most 1-run games in the Majors. On 10 April, the changed standings showed the Diamondbacks in the lead with seven 1-run games, the Mariners in second place with six 1-run games, […]
Afforded the third overall pick in last year’s draft, the Seattle Mariners entered draft day with long odds of selecting Kade Anderson. The player many considered the best of the 2025 talent pool, Anderson was undoubtedly the best pitcher in college baseball last year and dominated opposing hitters all season long. In one of the […]
There's some serious competition for the sports fans' dollars in Seattle these days. Between the Seahawks, the Mariners, and the 'coming soon' rebirth of the SuperSonics, the Seattle Kraken are quickly losing relevance. The team will miss the playoffs for the third straight season. Major changes are needed. In fact, a complete overhaul, writes Matt Calkin in the Seattle Times. The fervor surrounding this franchise has dwindled down to a flicker over the past three years. .. ...
It was great to see the Mariners finally play up to their potential for an entire weekend. That it came at the expense of the Astros makes it all the more sweet. Between the odd fourth game against Houston on Monday, the quick three-game road trip to San Diego in the middle of this week, […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners secured an emphatic four-game sweep of the Houston Astros behind another vintage George Kirby outing of 7 2/3 innings with two runs allowed and six strikeouts. Five of the Mariners’ six runs in their 6-2 win were brought home by Josh Naylor, who hit two home runs in back-to-back at-bats to […]
Coming out of the All-Star Break in 2025, the Seattle Mariners had some juice. They’d faltered from their scalding April-May surge, ceding the division lead to the Houston Astros at the start of June with a brutal 4-13 stretch from May 24-June 11th featuring multiple losses to Houston and dismal sweeps. A crucial, prescient drubbing […]

The 6-2 defeat at T-Mobile Park completed a 4-game sweep by the Mariners, the first time they have swept the Astros in a 4 game series since August 2018. Two things have hallmarked this season for the Houston Astros thus far: injuries and pitching woes. Both were on display this afternoon when the Astros fell […]

RHP Mike Burrows (1-2, 5.63 ERA) will be on the mound for the Astros, opposite RHP George Kirby (1-2, 3.60 […]
Mops are on the table, I repeat, mops are ON the table. The Seattle Mariners have won their first series of 2026, and have the mopportunity to send the reeling Houston Astros on their way in an ambulance. This is sadly literally true as much as figurative, as Houston is falling apart physically as much […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma dropped the series against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, losing four of six on the week with little life shown throughout. Hopefully they’re able to shake this one and get back on the right track. The weekly check in on boy-wonder Colt Emerson is less flattering this week. Going 6-23 with seven […]
