I was fortunate to grow up on St. Louis Cardinals baseball. It will always be extremely special to me. But after 10 years, I’ve found a new home. Seattle is where I’m supposed to be. And calling Mariners baseball is what I love to do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Dear anonymous Astros social media team,
The Believe signs were from *last* year.
Other than that, top notch work. The kind you should really feel proud about.
Just another reason why baseball fans around the county will continue to root for you guys!
How to run a billion dollar company:
1. Spend less than almost all your competitors, year after year.
2. Suspend your (tremendous) broadcaster for reading a produced graphic illustrating your shockingly poor W-L record vs. a superior opponent.

deserves better.
I spent six years in the minors hoping to spend even one season in the majors. Today marked the end of my sixth season on

radio. Couldn’t be more grateful to the club and you, our listeners. Thank you for making what we do so special.
JUNE 27: M's lose 8-2 to O's and fall to 34-41.
I gave it a lot of thought and believed they needed to go 12-6 over their final 18G before the break to pull -1G .500 if they wanted a chance. Not easy.
JULY 16: They've gone 16-1.
Julio Rodriguez 4 days ago compared to now

That’s one of the most insane 4 game jumps I’ve ever seen lmao
Julio Rodriguez had the whole Mariners team fitted in Run-D.M.C tracksuits 🔥
Then manager Scott Servais surprised Julio with a special celeb shoutout 👀

SPREAD THE WORD MARINERS FANS 🗣️
Tomorrow, let’s come together to give Julio Rodriguez a standing ovation in his first plate appearance, share this with everyone you know.
We need to get this message out to EVERYONE attending that game tomorrow.
Work your magic 🪄

I’m old enough to remember Patrick Corbin throwing 7.0 shutout innings against the M’s, striking out nine.
They’ve gone 34-15 since and are now in first place.
This has all been highly predictable.
J.P. Crawford homered off Cole Ragans (born in Crawfordville, FL). Crawford is the first
@Mariners
player to homer off a pitcher whose birthplace contains the batter’s name since Austin Nola homered off Chris Paddack (born in Austin, TX) on Aug. 25, 2020.

4-year-old son has his first ever t-ball practice tonight. He’s playing on the Rays. Great news because he’ll no doubt be traded to the Mariners any day.
Lazaro Montes puts a hurting on this one!
MLB's No. 83 prospect (

This video has to be the first of its kind, right? Huge credit goes to the M’s PR & social team for capturing such a once in a lifetime moment. Major props to Scott for allowing the access. And thanks to Justin for providing scale for Julio’s size. A true team effort.
An all-time Spring Training moment for me right here. Colt played in the game then *came up to the booth* in full uni to talk baseball. Just an awesome dude.
Mitch Garver: "This is by far the worst I've ever played in my career. It's tough on myself, tough on my family. The death threats and the 'retire' and 'you suck' and '[expletive] kill yourself,' and all that [stuff], it's getting old. But the only way it changes is play better."
That was the best 10 min of the

- Blackmon is a little stitious
- Segura’s HR
- Segura’s chain
- Dave Roberts’ mic left on talking about how awesome Haniger is
Since 1996, I’ve covered hundreds upon hundreds of Mariners games for the Seattle Times at the Kingdome, Safeco Field and T-Mobile Park – not to mention scores more on the road at more than 25 ballparks, not to mention 27 years of spring training games around the Cactus League.
Cal Raleigh is the first player to homer in a doubleheader game, catch a shutout win & record 4+ H in a game with a HR in the SAME SERIES since Forrest “Smoky” Burgess for the 1953 Phillies.

The
@Mariners
have now had their starter notch 4+ strikeouts while allowing 2 or fewer ER in each of the last 15 games.
That's the longest streak by any MLB team's starters since ER became an official stat in both leagues in 1913 (no other team has had a streak longer than 12).
Crew chief Adrian Johnson:
"I’m not aware of the incident with Trout from last night. You’re talking about the pitch that went over his head. That was nothing for us to issue warnings today. What happened today was a guy got hit. We had warnings in. Eight guys were ejected."
