Felix is ours.
Cal Raleigh is back. Raleigh returns to the Mariners lineup at designated hitter on Tuesday. He’s missed the last three games with “general soreness” in his core, or side, or something. The team hasn’t been too forthcoming with specifics on the injury, and it doesn’t really matter now, because Raleigh is back. He is still […]
I asked y’all in the FEED about who has impressed you so far this season and the LL hive mind did not disappoint! Thanks to everyone who weighed in. Since there were many similar answers, I’m going to start with the top three players that were named and then I’ll break it down a bit […]
Happy Tuesday! In an exciting and much-needed win, the Mariners scored five runs in the sixth inning last night to secure a 5-4 win at home. Home runs from Luke Raley and J.P. Crawford powered starter Logan Gilbert to his second win of the season in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. George Kirby […]
Every Star Wars Day (May the Fourth, in case this particular branding hasn’t been pounded into your skull) produces the same opportunity to lay the story of the baseball game over the Star Wars leitmotif. Last year we had an uninspiring 8-1 loss to the Rangers where Zach purposefully trolled by mixing up Stars War […]

The Mariners, fresh off a brutal sweep at the hands of the Royals, now have to face one of the best teams in baseball, the Atlanta Braves. Read more about what’s coming in the series preview. To make matters worse, the Mariners are getting steadily more injured without much help on the immediate horizon. Brendan […]
The already injury-plagued Mariners took another hit today as it was announced lefty Gabe Speier is going on the IL with left shoulder inflammation. LHP José Suarez, who was recently claimed off waivers from the Braves, has reported to the club to take his place. Additionally, the Mariners recalled lefty Josh Simpson from Tacoma and […]
The Mariners stunk it up real bad at home against the Royals and now have to face one of baseball’s hottest teams in the Atlanta Braves. Should be fine, right? Both of these teams are banged up pretty badly so we might as well do an injury roundup for both teams: The Mariners will remain […]
Tacoma Rainiers The Rainiers dropped the series 4-2 this week, unfortunately unable to land the knockout punch in several close games this series. They stand at 16-17 on the season, good for fourth in their division. The Colt report this week is a tough one, unfortunately. Three walks, three hits, ten punchouts. He did hit […]
Good morning! It’s time to put that Kansas City Royals series behind us, as the Mariners prepare to host the Atlanta Braves tonight at 6:40 PM. Logan Gilbert will start off the three-game set against RHP JR Ritchie. In Mariners news… Around the league…
It was bad. It was boring. It was a third straight loss. The Mariners lineup snoozed through a 4-1 loss on Sunday as the Royals completed a sweep in Seattle. The short-side of the Mariners platoons, once again, frankly stunk, sending the minimum-plus-one to the plate over the final five innings. Lefty Kris Bubic took […]

The Mariners, suddenly drawing from their depth a month into the season, made a waiver claim today, picking up lefty José Suarez from Atlanta. Mariners fans likely remember Suarez from his lengthy Angels tenure, from the time he signed with the Angels as a free agent out of Venezuela to 2024. Prior to the 2025 […]
Cal Raleigh will not return to the Mariners lineup Sunday. The Mariners look to prevent a sweep against the Royals. The pitching staff blew a strong performance by the lineup on Friday, and the lineup blew a strong performance by Emerson Hancock last night. After an up and down April, they have started May on […]
Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is out of the lineup for a second straight day with lingering pain in his right side. The team has not moved to put him on the IL, awaiting results of imaging he had done yesterday. Raleigh first felt the pain after Friday night’s game, and said he became concerned when […]
The Mariners were a little bit of everything in April, which is exactly what they were supposed to be. The Mariners finished April with a .500 record. The month included a five-game losing streak, a four-game losing streak, and two four-game winning streaks. They were projected in the preseason as favorites in their division and […]
Mariners pitching honored Randy Johnson and the Mariners offense honored Felix last night in the worst game of the year (so far). Salvaging a game in this series against the Royals would feel like a minor miracle, but the M’s will try anyway at 1:10 PST. Happy Sunday everybody! In Mariners news… Around the league…
Randy Johnson is the first Mariners pitcher I remember watching. Somewhere there is a picture of a mulleted Randy taken by me with a hot pink camera in the Kingdome at a Kid’s Day. It’s blurry, and his head is partially cropped off, seven-year-old me tilting up the camera at the towering figure above me. […]

Logan Evans was the pitcher on the mound in the Ichiro number retirement game last year; this year it will be Emerson Hancock’s turn for the Randy Johnson number retirement game. For the Royals, their reigning organizational Pitcher of the Month, Seth Lugo, will take the mound. Unlike last night’s surprising slugfest, runs could be […]
There are very few hitters in the minor leagues more fearsome than Lazaro Montes right now. The Mariners #6 ranked prospect, Montes posted one of the finest statlines of his young career in Saturday afternoon’s contest against the Wichita Wind Surge. Ending the game 3-5 with 3 homers and a walk, Montes batted home half […]
Less than an hour before the Mariners were set to take the field for Randy Johnson number retirement night, the Mariners dropped a significant lineup change, removing starting catcher Cal Raleigh and inserting backup catcher. At the same time, the Tacoma Rainiers announced a roster change, scratching their starting catcher for Saturday, Jhonny Pereda. This […]
The Mariners made a surprising move to bolster their bullpen today, calling up right-handed reliever Nick Davila from Double-A Arkansas. In a corresponding move, LHP Josh Simpson – who was just summoned yesterday from Triple-A – was returned to Tacoma. The Mariners roster is now full at 40 players. If you’re not familiar with Davila’s […]
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners lost a late-game thriller to the Royals last night 7-6. Hopefully things turn around soon for Bryan Woo, because we’re going to need him. Importantly, today is Randy Johnson jersey retirement day! What is your favorite Big Unit memory from his time with the M’s? In Mariners […]
