Latest news and updates about the Mariners
The Mariners are finishing out their long road trip with an interleague set against the Nationals and things got off to a tough start with a two-hour-plus rain delay, their second of the season (glares in the general direction of Minnesota). Rain delays historically haven’t been kind to the Mariners, but today they overcame the […]

East coast road trips to stadiums without roofs are the pits. Today’s series opener between the Mariners and Nationals will begin in a delay due to bad weather in the area. We’ll post the latest updates here as well as the general game preview information. If the game is played, this post will also serve […]
That loss to the Giants was absolutely brutal, but the great thing about baseball is that there are 162 of these games. The Nats will get a chance to bounce back as they kick off their home stand with a matchup against the Mariners. This team has been resilient all year, but this is a […]
The Nationals’ West Coast trip was a successful one, taking 2 out of 3 in both series and bringing themselves back over .500, but the way the final game of the trip ended, it felt like a disaster. After entering the bottom of the 8th inning leading 9-1, the Nats surrendered 10 runs in the […]
After a strong start to their series in Baltimore, the Mariners had to settle for a split series after two lackluster efforts on Wednesday and Thursday. That eight-game win streak a week ago is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Seattle’s overall place in the standings. It feels like the team has slipped back […]
Happy Friday! The Mariners suffered a 5-7 loss to the Baltimore Orioles yesterday, with a tough outing from starter Bryan Woo resulting in seven earned runs. The Mariners began a new series with the Washington Nationals this afternoon at 3:45 PM, with Bryce Miller taking the mound against RHP Zack Littell. In Mariners news… Around […]
The Seattle Mariners (36-34) have spent the last five years teetering between elation and heartbreak, so every key player must perform competently. Bryan Woo led the M’s in strikeouts and innings pitched last season, and despite suffering a pectoral injury late in the year, he was a huge reason why the franchise won its first […] The post Mariners’ Bryan Woo is ‘tired of sucking’ after another disaster vs. Orioles appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Kyle Bradish and Bryan Woo could have given tonight’s national audience a pitcher’s duel, but that thought went out the window with the very first batter. The Orioles scored six runs in the third, Seattle countered with four runs in the fourth, but the O’s did enough to outlast the M’s 7-5 in the series […]
Orioles 7, Mariners 5 Cloudless blue sky and sunshine: Julio Rodriguez (0.2 WPA) Thunder, lighting and rain: Bryan Woo (-0.42 WPA)
Personally, I hate the series in Baltimore every year about as much as Andrés Muñoz. The weather sucks no matter what time of year it is, the Mariners never seem to score many runs (especially when George Kirby is on the mound for some reason), the injury bug always seems to bite in Oriole Park […]
Both Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo are back in the Orioles lineup tonight against the Mariners. Rutschman will ease back into action as the designated hitter, while Basallo will return to the starting lineup after being available off the bench. Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Leody Taveras will handle the outfield duties. Coby Mayo will […]
The Seattle Mariners received an encouraging injury update Thursday as J.P. Crawford moved closer to a possible return. The shortstop resumed baseball activity at Camden Yards, giving the club a meaningful sign during an important road series. Crawford took groundballs for the first time since a hit-by-pitch caused a right hand contusion and sent him […] The post Mariners’ JP Crawford takes major step toward injury return appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It seems the Seattle Mariners may have finally found their footing. After a difficult start to the season plagued by injury and inconsistency, the Mariners have taken the lead in the AL West and seem poised to hold on for the remainder of the year. It still feels wild to have the Mariners among the […]
The Seattle Mariners have cranked their bullpen merry-go-round once more. This time, they’ve selected a local product to cycle into the rotation, selecting RHP Michael Rucker from Triple-A Tacoma and designating RHP Domingo González for assignment one day after recalling him. Rucker is a 32 year old hurler who starred at Auburn Riverside High School, […]
The Seattle Mariners made another bullpen adjustment Thursday before facing the Baltimore Orioles, selecting Michael Rucker’s contract and designating Domingo Gonzalez for assignment. The move gives the Mariners a fresh relief arm at Camden Yards and ends Gonzalez’s latest MLB stint in less than 24 hours. Seattle brought him back on Wednesday after Matt Brash […] The post Mariners DFA pitcher with latest roster move before Orioles game appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Mariners announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Michael Rucker. Fellow righty Domingo González has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Last night, the Mariners went into the game with a pretty taxed bullpen. They are operating with a six-man rotation at the moment, giving them a seven-man bullpen while […]
It can be tough to find true impact players towards the back half of the first round, but that certainly hasn’t stopped the Mariners from shooting for the moon in the past. Snagging their infield tandem of the future in Colt Emerson and Cole Young with picks in the 20’s, the M’s will yet again […]
Good morning and happy Thursday everybody. Ders is still out of town so you get a double-dose of Nick links this week. The Mariners got trounced 7-2 by the Orioles yesterday but have a chance to bounce back in the series finale with Bryan Woo on the mound at 4:05 PST on ESPN. I know […]
It may have started on time and finished without interruption, but Wednesday night’s game was rain-delayed in spirit for the Mariners. They could never really get the engine to start for their offense as they dropped the third game of their series in Baltimore, 7-2. Orioles starter Brandon Young cruised as the Mariners struggled to […]
Orioles 7, Mariners 2 Hey, he drew a walk: Luke Raley, -0.01 WPA Certainly a team loss: Randy Arozarena, Julio Rodríguez, -0.08 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Earlier today, I made a trip up to Everett. As I was passing by Funko Field, a thought struck me. “AquaSox.” What a name. Have wet socks ever been a good thing? In that sense, the Mariners’ recent development of minor league talent seems somewhat antithetical to their High-A affiliate’s team name. Everett did win […]
The Seattle Mariners were expected to make some moves following Tuesday’s unlikely extra innings victory. They have not disappointed Wednesday afternoon, but the results are in part quite distressing. RHP Matt Brash has been placed on the 15-day injured list for pitchers with a right lat strain, retroactive to June 9th, while INF Ryan Bliss […]
The Seattle Mariners have made a plethora of moves ahead of Game 3 of the 4-game set against the Baltimore Orioles. Seattle has taken both of the first two games of the series, aiming to earn the series win on Wednesday in just a few hours. The Mariners have scored 12 runs so far in […] The post Mariners place pitcher on IL amid plethora of roster moves appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Mariners announced a series of roster moves today. Infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list and right-hander Domingo González has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma. In corresponding active roster moves, infielder Ryan Bliss has been optioned to Tacoma while right-hander Matt Brash has been placed on the 15-day injured list […]
