Good morning! The Mariners suffered another tough loss to the San Diego Padres last night and will be happy to put this edition of the Vedder Cup behind them. The Chicago White Sox come to town for a three-game series as Bryan Woo takes the mound tonight at 6:40 PM against LHP Noah Schultz. In […]
The term “meteoric rise” is a bit of a misnomer, though most people already know that. Meteors fall (And yet if you point this out, you are a pedant? The world is cruel to those brave enough to obsess over wording tell the truth). However, it is quite the fitting turn of phrase for baseball, […]

The Mariners may have to patch together thier bullpen for a bit longer. While Gabe Speier looked good in a bullpen today, Matt Brash struggled through two-thirds of an inning in Tacoma. Matt Brash threw his second game with the Rainiers this afternoon. He’s been on the IL since April 29 when he had to […]
The Mariners are trying to avoid being swept by the Padres for the season, having failed to win a single game against them so far while losing possession of the prized Vedder Cup guitar. Thoughts and prayers to Pete Woodworth. George Kirby will take the mound for the Mariners as Seattle’s last hope for a […]
The Seattle Mariners are calling up top prospect SS/3B Colt Emerson, per multiple reports led by Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. The move came as somewhat of an unexpected move, as Emerson was initially listed in the Tacoma Rainiers lineup in Triple-A. Instead, Seattle is bringing up their 20 year old quite literally from […]
Randy Arozarena isn’t all that streaky, but he is on a streak right now. Arozarena has been the Mariners best hitter this year. His 148 wRC+ is best among the qualified hitters on the team, and his 1.8 fWAR makes him a top 25 player in the majors. He’s more than half-way to his 2.9 […]
The Mariners lost again last night. Logan Gilbert didn’t have his best stuff again, and Dan Wilson got sent home early by the umpires. Rivalry weekend is a wash at this point, but the Mariners will attempt to salvage a win in the series anyway on NBC and Peacock at 4:20pm. In Mariners news… Around […]
The roof was closed from the start on a blustery afternoon in Seattle, with rare thunderstorms in the forecast. The Mariners’ offense gathered, swirled, and covered the field in strong contact, line drives, and threat after threat. But it was the Padres whose lumber cracked like thunder, pummeling Logan Gilbert under a storm of punished […]

The Seattle Mariners saw their four-year run of Vedder Cup dominance end last night, as the San Diego Padres blanked them 2-0 in a disappointing display that resembled many Friar victories this season: get a lead, then hand things to the bullpen and crush the final squirms of resistance. Today is a new opportunity, however, […]
Mariners players have a plethora of team-issued t-shirt options to choose from. One of the most popular designs comes from the high performance team, featuring a modified Rod of Asclepius on the front, where the wings are swapped for the Mariners trident; on the back, (AVAIL)ABILITY, with “ABILITY” highlighted in white. It’s a play on […]
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners opened up the weekend with a sleepy 2-0 loss to the Padres last night, though it was great to see Emerson Hancock continue his strong start to the season. Speaking of, we finally got a resolution to the six-man rotation situation yesterday: Do you endorse this decision […]
The Mariners waited too long, and Mason Miller eventually caught up with them. The Padres shutout the Mariners 2-0 in Friday’s series opener in Seattle. The win gives them the second ever Vedder Cup, tying the all-time series at one apiece. Emerson Hancock pitched well, working around a bit of hard contact to get through […]

Let’s run it back. Leg two of the Vedder Cup begins Friday in Seattle. The Mariners got swept in the first set in San Diego, so they’ll need to sweep at home in order to have a chance in the tie breaker, which is run differential (Padres lead 16-9) then average exit velocity in the […]
We’ve entered into a bizarro world where a series against the Astros can be viewed as a “get right” series for the Mariners. Back in April, the four-game sweep of Houston pushed Seattle to a game under .500 and 1.5 games back in the AL West. This latest series win in Houston pushed Seattle to […]
Good day folks and happy Friday! The Mariners bounced back in a big way yesterday, rolling past the Astros in an 8-3 series finale victory. Despite a lofty 36.1% strikeout rate, Luke Raley’s hot season with the stick continues. Do you believe in his performance so far, or do you expect him to come crashing […]
In a day when the Mariners lost their starting catcher with Cal Raleigh going on the IL, Mitch Garver stepped into the role and had his best game of the season – on both sides of the ball – in an 8-3 victory. With that win, the Mariners not only secured a series win over […]

After last night’s fully-cursed game, the Mariners have just one game to play before they get to get out of Houston and return home to Seattle. Luis Castillo will take the ball for Seattle. Lineups: News: Unfortunately it’s bad news for the Mariners. Cal Raleigh is headed to the IL for the first time in […]
For the first time in his career, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been placed on the injured list. After resting and attempting to play through some side discomfort, the Big Dumper seemed to aggravate his side discomfort in Wednesday’s game. He was eventually replaced by Mitch Garver behind the dish, and now the club […]
Good morning everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week so far. The Mariners couldn’t hang on during a tough game against the Astros last night, falling 4-3. Though Cal Raleigh may have been injured during the contest (we’ll likely learn more today), it was a very encouraging return for Bryce Miller. What did […]
The Mariners got one key player back from injury, but perhaps lost another. Bryce Miller returned from the injured list Wednesday with his best-ever velocity and posted a solid outing overall. But the Mariners lineup struggled to get him much support and eventually lost in extras 4-3 in a long, bizarre, often frustrating game. The […]
