Felix is ours.
The Mariners evened the three-game series against the Tigers yesterday on the back of a stellar outing from Bryce Miller and just enough offense for a comfortable 4-0 win. With another victory today, they’ll have sealed four straight series wins, and Luis Castillo will look to build on a successful stint with the piggyback in […]
The Mariners are in first place. I don’t have anything well thought out for you today. I wanted to do something about what’s changed from April to May. But would you look at the time it’s already June 7. There will be no clean narrative here. Still, I’ve got a few quick hitters on recent […]
Good morning and happy Sunday everybody! The Mariners won yesterday thanks to a dominant performance from Bryce Miller, who now has the longest active scoreless streak of any pitcher in the league against one team, and some early offense. The Mariners will go for the series win this morning at 10:40 PST. In Mariners news… […]
The Mariners halted a brief two-game losing skid today – over which the pitching staff surrendered 14 runs – with a shutout 4-0 win against the Tigers. Bryce Miller made his first non-piggyback start of the year and delivered six strong innings against the Tigers, one-hitting Detroit over six innings while striking out a season-high […]

Well, yesterday’s kickoff of a ten-game, three-city ~East Coast road trip could have gone better, with the M’s falling 7-3 to the Tigers in a rainy, muddy mess and J.P. Crawford needing to leave the game thanks to a Framber Valdez hit-by-pitch. It’s a new day today, though, and what better time to bounce back […]
Good morning folks, and happy Saturday! Last night, the Mariners fell hard to the Tigers 7-3 in the series opener in Detroit. J.P. Crawford suffered an apparent hand injury in the game on a hit-by-pitch, but appears to have avoided significant damage according to the team. This will be my last Moose Tracks post for […]
There’s a baseball cliche when a pitcher has an OK night but still takes the L: “He just made the one mistake, and it got punished.” It’s tempting to tag that to Bryan Woo in tonight’s 7-3 loss to the Tigers, but I’m not so sure it’s true. The pitch you’d want to pin that […]

Do you like barrels? Hard hit balls? Dingers and gap-to-gap doubles? Too bad! We’ve got Bryan Woo facing off against Framber Valdez today. 174 pitchers have faced at least 500 batters since the start of 2024, and of them, Woo has the 6th lowest wOBAcon (damage on contact), and Valdez, the 23rd lowest. On the […]
The Mariners had their eight-game win streak snapped on Wednesday, but they maintained their 2.5 game lead over the Athletics with the series win over the Mets. Now the team embarks on their longest road trip of the season, a 10-day affair that will take them through Detroit, Baltimore, and Washington DC. Thanks to this […]
About this time last year I made the case for Julio Rodríguez as an All-Star. It was a pointed response to the discourse of the day: his latest slow start at the dish. I didn’t think it was a fair (or even accurate) characterization of his season to that point. At the time, Julio was […]
Good day everyone, and happy Friday! The M’s play an early afternoon game today, facing off against the Tigers at 3:40pm PT — set your reminders! Also, don’t forget to go vote for the Mariners in the first round of All-Star voting! Who’s got your vote on the National League side this year? In Mariners […]
The Seattle Mariners are blasting from and/or into the past. On Friday, August 7th, the Mariners have announced they will be hosting a home run derby following their game against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the structure is not entirely clear or perhaps even fully solidified, the list of participants appears to be an entertaining […]
Hooting, hollering, things of that nature. These activities have found fertile ground at T-Mobile Park this spring, whether the tarps have been off, on, or unnecessary thanks to Seattle’s most beloved roof. If it’s seemed particularly packed at the park so far, you’d be correct. The Seattle Mariners have drawn 1,158,012 fans to the stadium […]
Good morning friends! Happy Mariners off-day to you. The M’s saw their winning streak snapped yesterday in a 7-1 loss to the Mets. The M’s hit the road now for a stretch, going to Detroit, Baltimore, and Washington. Importantly, it’s All-Star voting season. In my youth, I held steadfast to only voting for players who […]
The Mariners win streak got buried alive. The Mariners lost 7-1 to the Mets on Wednesday afternoon, snapping an eight-game win streak. It was their first loss in a week and a half, having swept the Athletics and the Diamondbacks before taking the first two this week against the Mets. As I wrote in the […]

Nine is a big number. The Mariners will look to stretch their win streak to nine this afternoon with a third consecutive sweep. At about four games is when I start to consider consecutive wins a streak, though I’d listen to arguments that three or five should be the minimal threshold. But it’s not until […]
On the monthly update of Baseball America’s top 100 prospect list, the Mariners joined rarified air as an organization with three top ten prospects leaguewide. Colt Emerson (#3), Ryan Sloan (#7), and Kade Anderson (#9) made up the elite trio topping the list, though both Lazaro Montes (#57) and Luke Stevenson (#98) made the cut […]
Good day everyone! The Mariners made it eight straight with an easy 8-3 victory over the Mets to secure their third consecutive series win. They’ve now raised their Fangraphs playoff odds to 87.8%. Which player has impressed you the most over this recent stretch of play? I have to give some flowers to Jhonny Pereda […]
Only a week or two ago, the early returns of the 2026 season didn’t inspire much confidence. Sure, the Mariners hadn’t dug themselves a hole in the standings like in years past—that’d be almost impossible with the state of the American League. Even so, watching the games felt akin to pulling teeth in some moments. […]

The Mariners are searching for their eighth consecutive victory, plus another series win. Logan Gilbert gets the ball for the penultimate game of the homestand. Over his last two starts, he has pitched a combined 11.2 innings, giving up no runs on seven hits. For the second night in a row, the Mets will go […]
Emerson Hancock, the breakout star of the vaunted Mariners rotation in 2026, turned in another strong start last night against the Mets, going six innings with seven strikeouts and giving up just two runs, both on solo homers. This, in and of itself, is not particularly surprising; Hancock, one day after his 27th birthday, has […]
