Felix is ours.
The game meant more to Venezuela. One of sportswriting and broadcasting’s most wizened, decrepit shorthand takes. Every game is meaningful at the highest levels, the sport too onerous and skill-specialized to draw success for many who cannot muster daily effort. If a victorious will alone were the separator, David would not have merited memory in […]
This might be the easiest, low-stress, high-joy article I write this season. It’s just so much fun to research the Houston farm system. It’s kind of hard to even come up with sections or headers for this one, so let’s just jump into it. Baseball America: 27th in organizational rankings, 0 Top-100 prospects (hell yeah) […]
Good day friends and happy Wednesday! The Mariners are coming off a split-squad split yesterday, besting the Rockies by a 10-6 final while dropping a game to the Padres 9-6. The ongoing concern in Mariners camp regards the status of J.P. Crawford, whose shoulder imaging came back clean yesterday. However, the M’s are uncertain if […]
The Mariners played their first split-squad game of the spring this season now that they finally have enough players back from the WBC and split the games, losing at home against the Padres and winning on the road against the Rockies. Home game: San Diego 9, Mariners 6 It wasn’t as bad as the 27-6 […]
It’s split squad action today in Peoria and at Salt River Fields. Both games are televised, so choose wisely. Don’t get too attached to this Josh Naylor graphic; he was a late scratch. Luis Suisbel is now in the lineup, batting ninth and playing first base. Also scheduled to pitch in this game: José A. […]
The bars might be full of St. Patrick’s Day revelers dressed in green today but there should at least be a corner of baseball fans ready to see the US take on Venezuela in the finals of the WBC tonight. Venezuela earned a trip to the finals in a hard-fought battle against Team Italy yesterday […]
Since their first World Series run in 2017, the Astros have produced, traded for, and developed a huge amount of pitching talent. From Cy Young winners like Dallas Keuchel and Gerrit Cole, to future Hall of Famers like Zack Greinke and Justin Verlander, the Astros have had no shortage of pitching excellence in their domination […]
A lot has changed for Griffin Hugus since joining the Seattle Mariners organization. Drafted in the third round for slightly under slot value, the University of Miami product checked every box of a “Seattle Mariner starting pitcher”. With an athletic 6’2 frame and a full arsenal of offerings at his disposal, Hugus paired intriguing underlying […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners are back in action today against the Colorado Rockies at 1:10 PM, with the starting pitcher yet to be announced. In some non-baseball news, it’s time for March Madness! One of my personal favorite times of the year. If you think you have what it takes to beat both staff writers […]

The Astros seem like they’re reaching the end of their decade-long contention window. They missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, ending a run of dominance that included seven division titles, four AL pennants, and two World Series championships. Instead of restocking their roster with a bunch of high profile moves, […]
Team USA will be playing for the WBC championship this Tuesday after a nailbiter of a game where they held off the Dominican Republic for a 2-1 victory in a game that was entirely decided by solo home runs: two for Team USA (Gunnar Henderson, Roman Anthony) vs. just one for Team DR (Junior Caminero). […]
Good morning! The Mariners defeated the Cincinnati Reds yesterday 6-3 with another solid George Kirby outing. His final line after 4 2/3 innings pitched included two runs, seven hits, one walk, and four strikeouts. There is no game today as the players will get a break from live game action. With Team USA’s win in […]
If you’re interested in a little amuse bouche before tonight’s semi-final WBC game between the DR and US, the Mariners are playing an exhibition game against the Cincinnati reds this afternoon. George Kirby gets his third Cactus League start, where he’ll hope to round into cleaner form. Keep an eye on him between pitches to […]
The field was halved Friday in the WBC, and once again Saturday, with a pair of impressive games and historic milestones for national baseball in Italy and Venezuela. Yesterday’s matchups and how the Mariners performed: Italy 8, Puerto Rico 6 The caffeinated fairy tale continues. Facing the ace of Team Puerto Rico in Royals starter […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Sunday! The Mariners lost by a score of 6-2 to the Angels yesterday as Cactus League play drags on, but we did get a fun sequence of Cole Young knocking in Colt Emerson for Seattle’s first run. It’s definitely not tough to imagine that happening in big league games that […]
Seattle’s WBC-sapped lineups have led to a degree of drudgery in their play. As the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals conclude this evening, the Mariners will likely see more of their most prominent players return to the fold. Still here, however, is Logan Gilbert, who will give the familiar Angels a few turns through the order […]
Things are narrowing down in the WBC. Already Michael Arroyo (Colombia) and Andrés Muñoz (Mexico) have returned to Mariners camp, and they’ll soon be joined by Josh Naylor, whose Team Canada was knocked out in the quarterfinals yesterday. Yesterday’s matchups and how the Mariners performed: Dominican Republic 10, Korea 0 To no one’s great suriprise, […]
Good morning everyone, and welcome to the weekend! Though the Mariners lost to the Dodgers 10-7 in yesterday’s spring bout, we saw the first Cactus League homer of the year from Colt Emerson in the latest stages of the contest. It’s been a sleepy spring so far for the young infielder, but it’s good to […]
In the preview, I noted that Kade Anderson would face a real test with the top third of the Dodgers lineup tonight, and his results were like my typical attempts to pick up women: 0 for 3. Miguel Rojas led off with a double off the 410 marker on the centerfield wall. Anderson then tried […]
The Kade Anderson Revolution will be televised. Tonight’s match-up against the Dodgers will be broadcast on SNLA, and it’s an evening game, so you might even get to watch it. Of course, it’s up against the WBC Quarterfinals, so maybe your attention will be divided. The Mariners are mostly going with the B-Squad for tonight’s […]
Good morning everyone! Happy Friday. Emerson Hancock continued to look sharp last night, but the Mariners fell to the Cubs 7-4. If Hancock is indeed placed back into a starting role with Bryce Miller ailing, we’ll have to hope he can find some consistency out on the mound. My question for the day has nothing […]
Hello friends, this is another #Laterecap (#Latercap? What do we like?) as your lovely blogueuse (thanks, Duolingo) is en route back to Seattle. Today was my last day in camp, and I’m sad to be leaving just as players are coming back from the WBC, but also so happy to have gotten to connect with […]
With the news yesterday that Bryce Miller’s timeline will be delayed by at least a week, today’s Emerson Hancock start against the Cubs takes on a bit more significance. Hancock has looked sharp this spring, showcasing an improved sweeper and holding his velocity well; today he’ll be tasked to do so as a starter instead […]
Making his debut in our prospect rankings at #11, Dickerson and Tuesday’s entry Yorger Bautista were actually tied in our initial run through of our scoring system, though we opted to give the edge to Dickerson upon tie breaker. Last year’s fifth rounder, the former Indiana Hoosier is yet another high-upside play for the Seattle […]
