    Jose Lopez Is the Worst Hitter In Baseball

    ​The Mariners already have the worst starting pitcher in baseball. But throwing the baseball only accounts for, um...hold on a second...half! That's right! Pitching is only half of the game. There's also that hitting thing. Thank goodness then that we also have Jose Lopez, the worst hitter in ... More >>

    The Five Best Years for Good Pitchers on Bad Teams

    Zack Greinke's good year for a bad team may have been great, but it wasn't the greatest.​For too long, baseball writers who selected the year-end award-winners relied too much on wins to determine who had a good year. The arbitrary 20-win mark became a bar that, if crossed, almost guaranteed s ... More >>

    King's Ransom: Keeping Masterful Felix Looking Pricier by the Day

     Hey, Mariners' fans, remember the 90s, when we had all those good players but couldn't/wouldn't spend to keep them? Then, under Bill Bavasi, we spent to keep guys we couldn't get rid of. Now, under Jack Z., it seems we've hit the Goldilocks "just right," finding all kinds of value and avoidin ... More >>

    Ride The Dolphin, Jarrod!

    Traditionally quite hittable Mariners pitcher Jarrod Washburn was suddenly unhittable last night, pitching the 10th 1-hitter in Mariners history. As Dave Cameron at the USS Mariner notes, everything was in place for Washburn: "Ridiculously Good Command Flyball Lefty Safeco Field Terrific Outfi ... More >>

    A Reminder of Why You Should Watch the Mariners (at Least Every Fifth Game)

    There are a number of reasons to watch every Mariners' game--Franklin Gutierrez's defense, Adrian Beltre's defense, Russel Branyan's offense, Ichiro's everything, and boredom. But last night we got a reminder of why one out of every five games really is must-see TV. Felix Hernandez threw a two-hit s ... More >>

    Mariners Waving the White Flag on This Season

    So says the USS Mariner's Dave Cameron, in so many words. Management, he notes (citing this report from Geoff Baker) is telling the team's older players that the team is looking to go in a younger direction. So the older, established players ("established at what?", you might ask) are more likely to ... More >>

    The Return of Ichiro (Sort of), and Carlos Silva Still Sucks

    The Mariners' star right fielder has been out with a bleeding ulcer, but yesterday afternoon the team announced that docs have cleared him for designated hitter duties in spring training games with minor leaguers, where he'll face pitching on par with that of Carlos Silva.

    Admittedly, this Mariners' season isn't inspiring a lot of excitement.

    Hell Dwellers, Get Your Hand Warmers: The Mariners Made Another Good Trade

    We never thought this day would come. The team whose front office has been a perennial laughingstock--doing things like moving rising star Carlos Guillen for withering has-been Rich Aurilia and paying an annual $12 million to pork-belly Carlos Silva--has made two really smart trades in a row.
