Mariners Game #1 Preview: 3/28/24, SEA vs. BOS
Praising the heavens because baseball is back | Kareem Elgazzar-USA TODAY Sports Happy Opening Day! Everything you need to know about tonight’s lid-lifter and a place to talk about it We made it through another off-season, everyone. Tonight the Seattle Mariners will play the first game as their 2024 iteration, with a lineup that hopefully features more consistency than last year’s group to bolster Seattle’s already excellent rotation. As a reminder, you can revisit this year’s 40 in 40 series (and the equally helpful guide to NRIs!) to catch up on any player...

If It All Goes Right
Photo by Ezra Shaw/ I was right all along I was right, but so wrong, It’s ten times better As quickly as can be done without making noise, a young woman in dark grey sweatpants and shirt deftly maneuvered through both front doors of the squat, brick one story she called home, and in two strides was off the short cement porch and into the yard. As soon as she was, she emptied her lungs in the loudest shout she could manage, meekly echoing off the other houses in the neighborhood through the chill November air. The baby was sound asleep in the crib, and would be fine...
The Beginning: Mariners vs. Red Sox Series Preview
Photo by Jane Gershovich/MLB Photos via Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this opening of spring days. It was a long and winding road to get to this point. At times, it felt like the Mariners were heading backwards, sideways, and every which way except forward. But they managed to red paper clip their way into a roster that looks roughly as talented as it has the past few seasons. Was every stone left unturned? Absolutely not. Their ability to construct a competitive roster under the artificial constraints placed on them by a risk-averse...

If It All Goes Wrong
Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports fool me once... Following the disastrous Battle of Carrhae, things changed in Rome. In modern day France, Gaius Julius Caesar defeated the last organized Gaulic resistance, and captured Vercingetorix, the so-called “king of all the Gauls.” The wealth that he plundered in Gaul made Caesar the richest Roman citizen, and his power and popularity was greater than almost anyone else in the city. Yet he still had one rival. His former political ally Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus. 2023 Regular Season Standings During his time as...

Seattle is thataway | Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Mariners prospects refuse to go gentle into that Everett night, rally in ninth To let you in on a little secret, recapping the final game of spring training/the off-season inspires just as much impatience for the writers as it does for the players, so let’s get right to recapping this 7-6 Mariners win over the Padres with an eye towards the off-season tomorrow and then Opening Day on Thursday. As is typical of a final preseason game, the starters got one or two at-bats and were removed, making the job of...
Mariners at Padres, 3/26/24, Exhibition Game Two: Open Game Thread
Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports The final exhibition game of the 2024 season We made it: today is the final exhibition game of the 2024 season. The games after this will be played by big-leaguers rather than call-ups from the minor-league side of camp, in big-league stadiums packed with fans (okay, maybe not in the case of the Coliseum, but still), and most importantly, they will count. But for today we have one more exhibition game to get through before an off-day and then the official opening of the 2024 Mariners season on Thursday night at T-Mobile Park. In case...
