Mariners Game #33 Preview and Discussion: KCR at SEA, 5/1

We should be in store for an excellent pitching matchup tonight as Cole Ragans faces off against Bryan Woo. Weirdly, I can find no evidence that Woo pitched on Saturday or was injured or ill, even though it was his turn in the rotation. But he’s basically picked up this season where he left off, […]

Matt Brash to 15-day IL; LHP Josh Simpson recalled

Just an hour after Mariners GM Justin Hollander gave his weekly injury update saying the team hadn’t made a determination about a Matt Brash IL stint, the Mariners announced they have placed Brash on the 15-day IL with right lat inflammation. The injury designation isn’t entirely a surprise, despite Hollander’s optimism regarding the injury itself […]

Series Preview: Mariners (16-16) vs. Royals (12-19)

For all the consternation about the Mariners’ slow start in April, they wound up finishing the month with a .500 record thanks to two straight series wins on the road. Despite sitting a game and a half behind the A’s in the division, FanGraphs gives Seattle coin flip odds to win the AL West (54.4%) […]

Mariners News: Cole Young, Brandon Woodruff, and Paul Skenes

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! The M’s are on national TV tonight with an Apple TV broadcast on tap for the series opener with the Royals. The Apple TV broadcast has long been my favorite of the national TV presentations. Which ones have you been impressed with so far in 2026? In Mariners news… […]

Pressing Questions: ABS, the “Grey Zone” and Imperfection

This discussion comes off the heels of the Mariners win on Sonday night over the Cardinals. The game was noteworthy for Rob Refsnyder’s big pinch-hit home run in the top of the ninth, and the manner in which it came about. Refsnyder watched a pitch about three inches off the plate called for strike 2, […]

Mariners News: Brendan Donovan, Josh Naylor, and Garrett Crochet

G’day everyone and a happy Mariners off-day to you! Cole Young was the hero once again yesterday in a 5-3 come-from-behind win over the Twins. The M’s closed out April with a clean 16-16 record. All things considered, I’m pretty satisfied with that (especially after a rough start to the year). How are you feeling […]

Cole Young puts team on back, Mariners snatch rubber game from Twins

Much is made about the so-called ‘sophomore slump’ in sports — you never know how a young player will respond as their opponents do anything and everything in their power to adjust to their game. After a slow start over the first couple of weeks, Cole Young has stabilized, and then some. It’s only fitting […]

Mariners pitcher Matt Brash removed from Wednesday’s game against Twins

The Mariners won Wednesday’s series finale against the Twins, giving them a 5-1 record on the road trip, but suffered a potentially serious loss in their bullpen. Matt Brash departed Wednesday’s game against Minnesota after throwing just two pitches with what manager Dan Wilson called “discomfort in his side.” Brash entered with the game tied […]

Mariners Game #32 Preview and Discussion: SEA at MIN, 4/29

Rise and shine, M’s fans! It’s time for some breakfast baseball. Despite all the trials and tribulations of the early going, the Mariners enter Wednesday with a golden opportunity to end the month of April with a .500 record. Standing between them and that record is the Minnesota Twins, who, after getting off to a […]

Checking in on Colt Emerson

After Brendan Donovan went down with injury, many Mariner fans had the reasonable expectation that Colt Emerson would be his replacement. Fresh off of a record-breaking extension that pays him like an established big leaguer, the M’s instead opted for Will Wilson, a journeyman infielder with minimal production under his belt. Though the allure of […]

Mariners News: Cole Young, Kade Anderson, and Rob Thomson

Hello folks and happy Wednesday! The Mariners bats came alive yesterday as the team feasted on the Twins’ bullpen to the tune of a 7-1 victory. In particular, it was a great game from second baseman Cole Young, who is beginning to round into form offensively with a .278/.352/.407 slash line heading into today’s action. […]

Mariners relieved of Joe Ryan, blow out Twins late

Josh Naylor, Julio Rodríguez and Cole Young each collected three hits in the Mariners 7-1 win over the Twins Tuesday. The Mariners’ lineup picked up 12 hits in total, including five for extra bases, in what wound up being a comfortable win. But the game wasn’t so comfortable early. Joe Ryan started for the Twins […]

Mariners Game #31 Preview and Discussion: 4/28/26, SEA at MIN

The Mariners will try to extend their win streak to four games (on fields without standing water). The Mariners send out their “we’re facing a righty” lineup against Joe Ryan, who’s the Twins best starting pitcher this year with a 3.22 FIP. The Mariners will likely see a heavy dose of fastballs and sinkers, with […]

Which Mariner are you worried won’t bounce back?

I asked y’all in the FEED for a bumper crop of hot takes on this subject 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 […]

Alex Hoppe gets comfortable with the Mariners

About the only good thing to come from last night’s 11-4 drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Twins was the big-league debut of hard-throwing Alex Hoppe. You know we love a debut around here, and it was extra special that it was such a quiet stinker of a game that Brad Adam could easily […]

Mariners News: Cole Young, Jose A. Ferrer, and Max Scherzer

Happy Tuesday! A rough outing from starter Luis Castillo led to seven earned runs and an eventual 4-11 loss to the Minnesota Twins yesterday. Cal Raleigh’s seventh home run and RHP Alex Hoppe’s MLB debut were the lone bright spots in the otherwise difficult game. Logan Gilbert takes the mound today against Twins ace Joe […]

Something rotten in the state of Minnesota; Mariners lose 11-4

The old saying in baseball is you win 50, lose 50, and it’s what you do with the rest that counts, but what the adage doesn’t take into account is the number of games that are Cursèd. For the Seattle Mariners, those Cursèd Games seem to usually happen in spring in the Midwest, or in […]

Mariners Game #31 Preview and Discussion: 4/27/26, SEA at MIN

After seeming like the game would certainly start in a delay, the Mariners and Twins are now tracking to get underway close to on-time for tonight’s series opener. If there are further delays we will update this post. Lineups: Josh Naylor returns to the Mariners lineup after sitting out yesterday’s game with quad tightness, just […]
