Mariners Trade Four Prospects For David Phelps, Believe In Themselves
Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto is feeling bullish about his team, judging by the medium-interesting trade he made today for reliever David Phelps, which will send four low-ranked prospects to Miami....
Jarrod Dyson Bunts To Break Up Justin Verlander's Perfect Game In The Sixth Inning
For a while tonight, Justin Verlander looked as sharp as he ever has. Through the first out of the sixth inning, he was perfect, with 10 strikeouts for his stat line and the cushion of a 4-0 lead. And then Jarrod Dyson decided that he was okay with flouting convention in order to give himself the be...
Enjoy Mike Zunino's Beautiful Month
Before the start of last season, Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto declared 2016 to be “The Year of Mike Zunino.” Simply put, it wasn’t. Most of the season was spent in Triple-A, and while he showed some marked improvement at the plate during his weeks with the big-league club, it wasn’t...
Catcher Carlos Ruiz Pitched And Struck Someone Out
Carlos Ruiz had played 1,109 games in his career before Tuesday. The longtime Phillies catcher, now with the Seattle Mariners, had only played two other positions: An inning at third base during extra-inning games with the Phils in 2008 and 2011, and an inning at first earlier this season. Last nigh...
The Twins Unleashed High-Powered Offensive Chaos On The Poor Mariners
If you’re looking for a single image to serve as an encapsulation of the Mariners’ 20-7 loss against the Twins tonight, it’s tempting to go with starter Christian Bergman grimacing after allowing his first home run of the night or doing the same after his second home run or exiting in the third inni...
The Blue Jays And Mariners Were Like Sweet Children Out There
The Toronto Blue Jays brought a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning last night in Seattle. Jarrod Dyson, an extremely fast man who plays for the Mariners, led off the inning with a single to center field. Down a run late, you just knew the Mariners were gonna get Dyson moving on the base ...

More Bad News For The Sad, Sad Mariners
This week briefly looked as if it might be a rare good one for the Mariners. They won four games in a row! They moved out of last place! With the return of James Paxton, only two of their three best pitchers were on the disabled list! But that happiness has proved fleeting....
The Mariners Are A Big Sad Mess
The Seattle Mariners lost 5-1 today and somehow, that counts as an improvement. The Mariners have now lost five straight games and they have scored precisely one run in each game. Before tonight’s loss to the Nationals, they had lost the previous three games by a net score of 34-3 thanks in large pa...
The King's Arm Is Dead
Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez has had an underwhelming start to the season, and it turned worse Tuesday. Hernandez lasted two innings in Seattle’s 19-9 loss to Detroit, ceding four runs before getting yanked after 48 pitches. Hernandez leads the majors in hits allowed with 39 and currently has a ...
Ichiro Socks First-Pitch Home Run In What Might Be His Final At-Bat In Seattle
Ichiro and the Miami Marlins wrapped up a three-game series up in Seattle this afternoon, losing two of the three games to the Mariners. The last time the Marlins came to Seattle, they played as the “home team” due to a confounding U2-related scheduling conflict at their old ballpark in Miami that f...
James Paxton Is Humiliating People With His Fastball
It’s likely you went into this season without planning on paying too much attention to the Seattle Mariners, but maybe their 28-year-old power lefty, James Paxton, will change that....
Edwin Díaz's Slider Is So, So, So Ridiculous
Edwin Díaz’s ninth inning last night was the sort of performance that seems to stretch the reasonable connotation of striking out the side when correctly described with the technical definition of the term. All three outs came via strikeout, sure; in between those were two runs that nearly squander...
Mariachi Band Greatly Improves Mariners Spring Training
Spring training always has stunts and shenanigans—like indulging a former quarterback’s fantasies so you can sell his shirsey for a couple of months—but the Seattle Mariners set the bar pretty high by hiring a mariachi band to tag along with center fielder Leonys Martin today....
King Felix's Yankees World Series Ring Was A Replica His Son Got As A Ballpark Promo<em></em>
Yesterday we wondered why Felix Hernandez had a 2000 Yankees World Series ring, recovered in a burglary bust in Bellevue, Wash. As it turns out, the reason is pretty funny and cute....
Wait, Why Does Felix Hernandez Have A 2000 Yankees World Series Ring?
Police in Bellevue, Washington held a press conference today to announce that they’d busted a burglary ring that had stolen somewhere near $3 million worth of stuff from 123 homes in the Seattle-Bellevue area. ...
Hot Fucking Stove: Don't Touch The Stove It's Extremely Hot
Good news, friends: The Thanksgiving holiday brought us not just a bounty of meats, side dishes, and familial bonding, but also mildly interesting baseball transactions that could have anywhere from no to some impact on the upcoming season of “America’s pastime.”...
Mariners Catcher Steve Clevenger Suspended Without Pay For Tweets
The Seattle Mariners responded to backup catcher Steve Clevenger’s dogshit dumb tweets about protesters by suspending him without pay for the remaining 10 games of the season. Here is the relevant part of the statement released by general manager Jerry Dipoto:...
Mariners Catcher Barfs Out Some Thoughts About Protestors, Compares Them To Animals
Steve Clevenger is an oft-injured backup catcher for the Seattle Mariners, who is hitting .221 this season in 68 at-bats. This afternoon, he weighed in on the protests sweeping through Charlotte with all the subtlety of an elephant playing the piano....
Adrian Beltre Lovingly Messes With Switch Pitcher Pat Venditte
Ambidextrous relief pitcher Pat Venditte has been in Major League Baseball for about a year. He’s bounced back and forth between the show and the minors, and Venditte made his Mariners debut this evening. After starter Hisashi Iwakuma was chased after three innings, Venditte stepped in and pitched t...
