Seattle torments Texas.

I love that. It's him among former catchers and former third basemen.

Pretty good arm on Naylor, eh? πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Good for Julio. Taking deGrom deep to that part of the park is no joke.

Well, even though the Mariners didn't win this one, they still broke the Rangers' closer.

Man, these have been some *real* baseball games. Not just 40 strikeouts and let's see who will hit the most solo homers. Balls in play. Runners in motion. Putting pressure on the pitchers and fielders. It's wonderful.

Julio just made me reflexibly shout a low-level swear. Great catch.

Meanwhile the Mariners have seemed so cool, calm and collected ever since Geno stepped on the plane in Sacramento. I don't think their biggest acquisition was any of the players. I think it was the confidence that came with the three adds topped by the uplifting feeling only Geno could provide.

Wow, the storyline of T-Mobile Park being a house of horrors for the Texas Rangers is alive and well. Merrill Kelly was carving up the Mariners, then balks in a run, gives up a tying single to Julio that GarcΓ­a misplayed, and forgets how many outs there were to keep the inning going. Incredible.

Very, very long inning for Luis Castillo, but the Mariners are fortunate Texas could only get the two runs.

Hear Seattle Mariners radio call of Crawford's walkoff HR J.P. Crawford sent the Seattle Mariners home with a win on one big swing Friday night. Listen to Rick Rizzs' call on the Mariners Radio Network.

β€œHe’s getting mobbed by his teammates! Holy smokes!"

That legit felt like a wrestling crowd during JP's walkoff interview. Breaking into chants and everything. T-Mobile Park, brother!

Gonna need to score more than 3 runs most nights to beat this new Mariners lineup.

I have a theory about Josh Naylor and other 1B that know how to steal (Freddie Freeman and Paul Goldschmidt, for example). They spend so much time watching pitchers from a similar angle on defense that they get really adept at knowing when a pitcher will start their motion, so they get good jumps.

Cal Raleigh and Cole Young copied each other's homers in a tribute to the Wrestlemania match in Seattle when The Rock did the Stunner and Stone Cold did the Rock Bottom

There was a past/future/present look to that 5-4-3 double play: SuΓ‘rez-Young-Naylor

Eugenio SuΓ‘rez surprised Seattle Mariners on flight home Seattle Mariners insider Shannon Drayer details the team's uplifting reunion with Eugenio SuΓ‘rez on the plane before heading home Wednesday night.

The #Mariners got a surprise before their flight home last night: Eugenio SuΓ‘rez hopped on the team plane.

"All of a sudden it got a little bit loud," M's insider @shannondrayer.bsky.social said. "Geno got on the plane and you could hear the cheering."

The move I'd like to see the Mariners make today: Pittsburgh reliever Dennis Santana. He's 29, has one more year of team control, and has been one of the best bullpen arms in the game this season -- 1.36 ERA, 0.820 WHIP with really impressive Statcast numbers.

They'll still lose their minds if the M's don't do anything tomorrow. Which, like, yeah, it would be cool if they made one more move. But they have thoroughly transacted for a deadline.

I enjoyed seeing all the malcontents on X already resign themselves tonight to the idea that the Mariners would only do enough to "appear" to be trying to win at the deadline before the Geno bomb dropped.

Mariners having a great deadline. They could be the unquestioned winners with one of the Twins relievers tomorrow.

Why Seattle Mariners should forget SuΓ‘rez, trade with Twins The reported asking price for Eugenio SuΓ‘rez is sky high, so if the Seattle Mariners are going to trade big prospects, they should look elsewhere.

The asking price for Eugenio SuΓ‘rez is reportedly sky high. But that's just one of the reasons Seattle Sports' @brentstecker.bsky.social writes that the #Mariners should forget about him and focus on deals with the Twins before Thursday's MLB trade deadline.

I think Will Vest just got himself blackballed from like six teams that want to trade for Geno, including his own.
