How insane has this Mariners turnaround been? Gary Hill. Jr. lays out what could’ve been after the Mariners were swept by the Giants, and what they did instead. “Little did we know, starting the next day, they would have the best offense in baseball moving forward”

The Mariners claiming Leody Taveras fills a current need AND provides them potential upside. We share why *And we’ll have plenty more to say about him on tomorrow’s podcast, which you should go check out*

How well does Mariners’ prospect Jonny Farmelo know the state of Washington? He knows more than you think 👀

Through this point in the season, what does YOUR AL MVP ballot look like? How many Mariners are featured? We created ours

The Mariners winning eight series in a row is great by itself. BUT, if you remember the last time they did that in 2022, baked into a stretch they won 22/25, that hot streak alone propelled them to the playoffs. Will the Mariners current hot stretch do the same? Full video: Instagram/TikTok

Despite today’s loss, the Mariners have won 8 series in a row, and the vibes continue to roll. What’s your biggest takeaway so far? Full video: Instagram/TikTok

• Matt Brash vs Juan Soto • Matt Brash vs Speed Limits • Matt Brash vs High Temperatures • Matt Brash’s Alma Mater vs Stanley Cups We go through a few head-to-head rounds of throwing a flurry of numbers at the Mariners reliever Can guess the higher number for each?

How relatable are the on-field struggles that Julio Rodriguez is going through right now, and the month of April for him in general? Doug Glanville of ESPN weighs in

Matt Brash is back in the Mariners bullpen. How does this shake out for the rest of the group? Side note: We’re pumped 😎 Full video: Instagram/TikTok

What is the best Mariners draft class in the Scott Hunter/Jerry Dipoto era? We think it comes down to two options: - 2018 (Logan Gilbert, Cal Raleigh) - 2021 (Bryce Miller, Bryan Woo, Harry Ford) What say you? Full video: Instagram/TikTok

Jorge Polanco has been a near-perfect hitter so far this season. Are we seeing the real Polanco? “We’re seeing what a healthier Jorge Polanco really looks like”

Is it time to be worried about Logan Gilbert? We feel optimistic right now, but there’s a really scary thought if he were to get TJ. “I frankly don’t like the timeline if he were actually to go under the knife” Full video: Instagram/TikTok

The Mariners had a bunch of injury updates today. Some good, some not • Dylan Moore • Luke Raley • George Kirby • Jonny Farmelo

It’s hard to find a bigger college football fan on the Mariners than Emerson Hancock. So, we had him blind rank players from his alma mater, Georgia. How did he do?

The Mariners offense is cooking right now, but their two offseason bats are at polar opposite ends of the spectrum. Jorge Polanco is the second-BEST hitter in baseball by wRC+ (233) Donovan Solano is the second-WORST hitter in baseball by wRC+ (-27) That’s crazy 😂

Make that SIX series wins in a row for the Mariners 🔥🔥🔥 Shoutout to our guy Logan Evans Shoutout to the offense, which continues to be one of the best in MLB Vibes 📈📈📈

Logan Gilbert left last night’s game with forearm tightness. How concerned are you? We’re gonna do our part to keep him healthy 😤

What makes Cal Raleigh so great, besides being the best catcher in baseball? He’s the safest catcher in baseball too. You know EXACTLY what you’re getting, says Jack McMullen “I can’t wait to watch him play at T-Mobile for the next however-many years”

That’s a massive series win, and caps off a phenomenal road trip for the Mariners

Who is on the Mt. Rushmore of Mariners Beer Drinkers? This fan have some SHOCKING selections. Is he out of line?

Let’s go Emerson!! He put the boys on his back tonight

Do you ever wonder why the Mariners haven’t won a series at Fenway Park since 2014? Well, the Mariners pitching stats in Boston tell the entire story 7.39 ERA 82 2B 10 3B 45 HR .324/.386/.545 slash line allowed 6/33 quality starts That is…… something

Can James Paxton rattle off the lineup from his 2018 no-hitter against the Blue Jays? He gives it a shot

If you look at Luis Castillo’s numbers, they are ALREADY down from what was a down year in 2024. Right now, we’re concerned with what we’re seeing. “It’s made him a less valuable pitcher”

Can Cal Raleigh remember if these quotes are from him or Cal Ripken Jr? We put him through the wringer

The Mariners have been crushing it offensively the last two weeks. Since the start of the Giants series: - 5th in runs scored (80) - 1st in wRC+ (128) How in the world is have they done it?

Dare to dream

What will make Dan Wilson successful as a manager? Former Mariners 2B Bret Boone describes what he thinks of as a successful manager. “You’re like a big-time CEO. It’s all about managing personalities & egos”

A listener proposed a great question in today’s mailbag: If you built the best possible 2025 Mariners team, with the ability to reverse trades & transactions within the team’s control during Jerry Dipoto’s tenure, what would your squad look like? Here’s our lineup⬇️

The Mariners NEEDED that series win. And they stepped up and secured it

How well does Mariners’ top prospect Colt Emerson know the state of Washington? We put him to the test⬇️

Bret Boone offers perspective on the up-and-down start to Julio Rodriguez’s career, highlighting the factors outside of his control that have a major effect. “I think Julio puts too much on himself” “No one player can carry an entire team” Full video: Instagram/TikTok

How much of the Mariners series sweep over the Rangers was sustainable? We run through a couple of the different facets of the team that we think can last long term!

A mystery team reportedly reached out to the Mariners about Luis Castillo amid the team’s injury issues so far, according to Bob Nightengale Which team was it? And who was the player?

Now THAT was a legit series win by the Mariners. Best pitching and hitting we’ve seen so far. What’s your takeaway?

With help on the infield needed, the Mariners call up infield prospect Ben Williamson

What do the Mariners do now with Ryan Bliss out for nearly the entire season? Who will they turn to?

We quizzed Bryan Woo on how well he remembered his college bio at Cal Poly. How did he do?

There’s buzz out there right now regarding the idea of the Mariners signing JD Martinez The question is, would he be a roster fit? We debate it all

The first 13 games have been a bit of an adventure for the Mariners. It’s ok to still be excited about the team, says our friend Peter Appel “We’re going to be OK here in Seattle”

Yes, the Mariners offense has struggled. Yes, injuries have played a huge part in a 4-8 start. But the Mariners bullpen has not performed well to start 2025, and there’s some shocking numbers behind it.

This Mariners fan is a HUGE believer in a Rowdy Tellez breakout season. Is he out of line??

If Victor Robles misses significant time, what are the Mariners going to do? How are they going to replace that production? “The margin for error was thin entering the season, and now we see (what happens) when it gets used up”

Mariners get swept Victor Robles is hurt Offense missed too many opportunities Pitching wasn’t good enough Life is pain Full video: Instagram/TikTok

How can you not be even more hyped for Jurrangelo Cijntje than you already were after what he did in his first pro start yesterday Electric stuff

Jurrangelo Cijntje, the switch pitching phenomenon, makes his professional debut today And he recently told a story about the first time he ever decided to switch pitch in a game Which was? DURING the Little League World Series in Williamsport Wild

Which Mariner looks the best so far? We highlight two of the most notable ones in our latest appearance on @fox13seattle: Randy Arozarena and Jorge Polanco. “When he’s at his best, he can be the 2nd or 3rd-best bat on this roster” Full video: Instagram/TikTok
