Mariners have a gay old time, triumph 8-6 on Pride Night
Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports This game was a RIOT, y’all! Man. I mean, man alive. Where to even start with this one? I suppose we could start in the top of the first, with Logan Gilbert touching triple digits for what I believe was the first time... ever? Let’s go with ever. Despite only one pitch of his first fifteen in the opening frame being a non-fastball, he had my attention (well, even more than he already does) after he juuuust missed ringing up Ramón Laureano and set down the top of the A’s lineup in order. Might feel like you see it more often but...

What’s the key for Jarred Kelenic putting Tacoma in his rearview mirror for a return to Mariners? It’s in the process
The former top prospect is still just 22 years old and has plenty of time to become a star for the Mariners. But it'll be a process to get there.

It’s a Logan Gilbert night, hooray! Unfortunately, the first thing that jumps out in the batting order is the absence of J.P. Crawford. Sure enough, his...

Opportunity Knocks: Mariners vs. Athletics Series Preview
Peter Aiken-USA TODAY Sports The Mariners host the Athletics for four games this weekend. Remember all the way back to mid-June when the Mariners were entering their five-game series against the Angels? It seems like forever ago, I know. That mega series began an 18-game stretch against teams below .500 that ends with this weekend series against the A’s. I thought that if the Mariners could go 12-6 during this stretch, they’d get back to around .500 and position themselves well for a nice little run into the All-Star break. They’ve gone 8-6 so far and need a sweep...

About Last Night: We love a debut
Photo by Alika Jenner/ celebrate (other people’s) good times, come on! As Mariners fans, we’re frequently called on to celebrate things other than offensive outcomes. We’ve had to, to keep loving baseball. A quality start, a diving catch, a loyal player who stays on a losing team. If practice makes perfect, we’re better at this than many. And so, as Mariners fans, we are perfectly situated to appreciate a Major League debut. Celebrating a player’s first trip up to the plate or the mound isn’t about applauding an outcome, but rather the work put in to get to...

Mariners trap Orioles in time loop, win 9-3
Photo by Alika Jenner/ austin voth wakes up to sonny and cher as his alarm If you’re anything like me, you love a good time loop. It’s one of my favorite sci-fi premises. Groundhog Day, Palm Springs, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Cause and Effect,” etc. I love them all. Time loops offer opportunities for unique storytelling. They show us how putting in the same or similar inputs can lead to radically different results. And this is where, importantly, they relate to baseball. Baseball is, I think, the closest we can get to time loops in real life....

When you build a career as deep as Ichiro’s, even a slap hitter can get an oppo shot. That’s demonstrated by the fact that he was still rolling 15 years later when he made a highlight reel catch in left.

look mom, i can fly! | Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports mariners go fishing for some crabs On this lovely Wednesday afternoon, the Mariners will go for their third straight series win. Making that easier, the Orioles will be turning it over to their bullpen to carry them. They do have the fourth best bullpen by ERA, though. Looking to score some runs against guys named “Austin Voth,” “Dillon Tate,” and “Paul Fry,” the Mariners will be trotting out: Honestly, not a terrible lineup, methinks. Santana batting 5th is an aggressive choice, but...
