HOUSTON -- It had all the familiar and frustrating ingredients that the Mariners had seemingly exorcised in this building one year ago, one slow gut punch after another in a fateful seventh inning that sunk Seattle in a 5-3 loss on Friday night at Minute Maid Park. Five walks, the

You know it’s really Draft season when the first mock draft is out. Between now and July 14, when the 2024 Draft begins, Jim Callis and I will be providing prognostications of the first round on a fairly regular basis with the hope that our final mocks the night before

Pitchers are meant to be ahead of hitters. Sluggers need at-bats to get into the rhythm of the season, and that takes time. Or at least that’s how the popular belief goes. But some Minor League hitters are proving they don’t need time at all to come flying out of

SEATTLE -- Emerson Hancock found himself in one jam too many on Wednesday afternoon, and in an attempt to get the Braves to chase their way into outs, he wound up pitching behind in counts and creating too big of a hole to dig out from in a 5-2 loss

SEATTLE -- The Mariners’ starting rotation has reached lather-rinse-repeat territory with an ongoing string of dominant performances. But it was the Seattle relief corps that remarkably averted a massive crisis to reach the finish line in a 3-2 win over the Braves on Tuesday night. As the dust settled in

Whenever a Draft list is updated for the first time since December, there are bound to be a lot of changes up and down the rankings. This year's new Draft Top 150 takes that to an extreme, speaking to the volatility and uncertainty of the class outside of the top

SEATTLE -- On a night when Bryce Miller flirted with perfection, then his teammates looked like the ones who’d be no-hit, the Mariners remarkably cast some late-inning magic en route to a 2-1 walk-off win over the Braves on Monday at T-Mobile Park. Mitch Garver blasted a 412-foot two-run homer

SEATTLE -- Like a fair few things this season, the call on A.J. Minter’s 3-0 fastball in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday did not go Mitch Garver’s way. Garver thought Minter’s fastball was off the plate, but home-plate umpire Lance Barksdale called it a strike, keeping Garver in

As he sat atop a dugout bench at T-Mobile Park on Monday, faced a handful of cameras and answered questions in a pre-arranged setting, even Kelenic recognized the backdrop from last July, after a self-inflicted injury from kicking

SEATTLE -- So much for the arm soreness that cut George Kirby’s most recent outing short. Kirby carved his way through the D-backs for a career-high 12 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park, lifting the Mariners to a 3-1 victory to clinch their fourth straight

SEATTLE -- Mariners general manager Justin Hollander was optimistic on Friday afternoon about Matt Brash’s progress toward a return from right elbow inflammation, with the leverage reliever slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma as soon as Saturday. But that optimism proved to be short-lived after Brash experienced

SEATTLE -- Josh Rojas shared a clubhouse with many of those in the visiting dugout on Friday night at T-Mobile Park, but for Mitch Haniger, it’s been ages since he donned a D-backs uniform. Those two pounded their former team with towering home runs that lifted the Mariners to a
