Latest news and updates about the Mariners
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 […]
Good morning! Yesterday’s Mariners win over the Houston Astros featured Logan Gilbert’s best outing of the year. Through seven innings, his seven strikeouts and one earned run on four hits powered the Mariners to a 6-1 victory over the Astros, and their third win in a row. They will go for the elusive “mop” of […]
Both the Softball and Baseball teams were in action on Sunday hoping to secure wins to continue to climb the B1G conference standings. Softball First up was Softball looking to secure the sweep of B1G bottom dweller Maryland at 8AM Pacific Time. Coach Lombardi went with Lyndsey Grien in the circle. By Grien standards she […]
It would be difficult to assert that any road trip has gone worse for the Astros. It started with taking one of six games from two of the worst teams in baseball. It ended with a four game set against the division rival Mariners. It is not officially over even as you are reading this, […]
Logan Gilbert needed this game almost as much as I needed Logan Gilbert to have this game. I’ll admit I was nervous at the beginning when the game started with Jose Altuve hitting a line drive into centerfield. But things quickly turned around when Josh Naylor deked a move back to first base that sent […]

The Mariners have a chance for their first series victory tonight. I was going to say “sweep” but then I remembered the Mariners and Astros actually wrap up this four-game set tomorrow at 1:10 p.m. Still, this would be as good a time as any to take their first series of 2026. They have the […]
The Houston Astros (6-9) look to stop a 6-game slide as they play their 3rd of 4 games in Seattle against the Mariners (6-9) at T-Mobile Park. RHP Cody Bolton (0-0, 3.68 ERA) will be on the mound for the Astros opposite RHP Logan Gilbert (0-2, 5.40 ERA) and the Mariners. ABOUT BOLTON: RHP Cody […]
Abreu suffered yet another late inning failure last night in taking the loss against the Mariners. At this point, it’s kind of past ugly. This is full blown concern. What is wrong with Bryan Abreu? Abreu has been one of the most dominant relievers in baseball for the last four seasons. He’s recorded at least […]
The Mariners are swinging slower and hitting worse, but connecting these dots isn’t as simple as it seems. Bat speed is down for half the Mariners’ lineup over the first 2 1/2 weeks of the season. These batters are swinging 0.7 mph slower on average than they were last year. It’s become a fixation in […]
Here’s your weekly injury notes! Must be Sunday! The Mariners guaranteed at least a split of the four-game series against Houston with a thrilling walk-off win to celebrate Humpy shoulder plush night to get to 6-9. The Mariners can secure an important series win today at 1:10 with Logan Gilbert on the mound. Happy Sunday […]
Saturday’s game against the Rays was not pretty viewing for Yankees fans. The Yankees held two separate late leads against Tampa Bay, but couldn’t hold onto either. In the 10th inning, the Rays took advantage of the auto-runner and bunted the Yankees to death, eventually scoring twice in the frame to overtake the Yankees. With […]
The game looked lost early for the Mariners on Saturday. It was not. The Astros were all over Luis Castillo from the jump. They lead 7-2 when they chased him in the fourth inning. Things felt final — some even called it final. But Cal Raleigh homered, Julio Rodríguez homered, and the Mariners offense roared […]

The Houston Astros (6-8) are in Seattle (5-9) for the second game of a four-game series with the Mariners as they seek to end a five-game slide. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. will be on the mound for the Astros opposite RHP Luis Castillo and the Mariners. ABOUT MCCULLERS: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. is set to […]
Usually an offensive explosion to the tune of nine runs involves a lot of running, or at least jogging, around the bases. But I was fine with the Mariners walking around the bases instead last night. Tonight, they’ll have a trickier task. At least theoretically. Lance McCullers is scheduled to start for Houston, but given […]
Kade Anderson’s Double-A debut on April 3 went well enough: four innings, no runs, five hits, six strikeouts and a walk. The five hits he gave up were all singles, and two of those didn’t even leave the infield. But Anderson outdid himself in his second outing against Wichita Friday night. Anderson tossed five innings […]
Good morning folks! I hope you’re all having a pleasant Saturday. The Mariners partied on Friday night, taking down the Astros in an offense-happy affair 9-6. Believe it or not, Cole Young remains the Mariners’ top position player so far by fWAR. Do you believe in his performance so far? On the one hand, he’s […]
There’s an impenetrable, opaque blackness to this space. Devoid of the primary sense that humans rely on to orient themselves, you try to parse what information you can through your secondary inputs. Unfortunately, other senses provides no more insight. It is so painfully, crushingly loud here that you can’t be sure of the source of […]

The Houston Astros (6-7) travel to the Mariners (4-9) this evening in Seattle in the first game of a three game series. Astros game three starterRHP Tatsuya Imai will make his thirdstart of the season for the Astros, this time opposite RHP Emerson Hancock and the Mariners. Friday’s TILT: The Astros and Mariners will play the first game of […]
After a very bad and nasty 1-5 road trip, the Mariners return home for a little 4-game set against their division arch-rivals, the Houston Astros. With the Mariners currently sitting in dead last in the AL West, a win tonight is greatly needed. Tonight also has the distinction of being both Ichiro Statue day and […]
Even in the midst of an ugly five-game losing streak, it’s still too early to panic about the Mariners’ place in the standings. It’s okay to be a little worried, however. There’s still more than 90% of the season left to play, but a sufficiently slow start in April can have an impact on the […]
