Sporcle Friday: Most Walks in a Season
Free passes are fun! Robinson Cano is rocking a 17.1% walk rate this year. That’s super impressive, especially when you consider his career 6.6% walk rate. If he were to keep this pace up, he would be the first Mariner to walk 100 times in a season since 2000. In his honor, I compiled a list of Mariners that have walked 85 times or more in a season. Can you name them? Link!

Seattle Mariners: Can Robinson Cano pass Jeff Kent in career homers?
Will Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano become the all-time home run leader for second baseman? The Seattle Mariners didn’t get much going with the bats on Tuesday night. Facing Lance McCullers, Jr., the Seattle could only scratch out a single hit in the first seven innings.

In Rob We Trust
The Mariners’ second baseman is walking more and hitting the ball harder, encouraging signs for the 35-year-old During the summer of 2013, Jay-Z released his twelfth studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. Rap fans may remember that summer for giving us new music from Kanye West, Mac Miller, and Wale, in addition to Jay-Z’s project. Baseball fans may remember it for being Robinson Cano’s last in Yankee pinstripes. But for those in the middle of baseball and rap’s Venn diagram, that summer produced a lyric that seemed specifically catered to our interests. “Scott Boras, you over...

The one where the Mariners score more than one run. Ideally. It’s Monday, and the Mariners are here to set the tone for your week. Tonight begins a four game series with the defending World Champions, and who better than James Paxton to lead the charge?

‘I want to earn every penny’: Halfway through, Robinson Cano reflects on his franchise-record contract
The notion of a player in his 30s signing for a decade has quickly grown antiquated. "I don’t want to be like those guys that, two or three years into their contract, they do really good and then they don’t care. I do care," Cano says.

Mariners walk it off in fifth to last game that doesn’t matter
Only one week to go! This Spring Training has been, for the most part, pretty neat. Daniel Vogelbach has done neat things, Marco Gonzales has done neat things, and Dee Gordon has done neat things. Heck, even Robinson Cano has been pleasantly good! There have been signs of the upside that the Mariners will have to show to have a chance at competing this year, and despite some scares, the team has avoided any major injuries suffered only one major injury. All of that being said, whew. It has been real hard to keep caring about these games over the last week or two. Like, I love you Dan...
