Mariners at Royals Game Notes
The Mariners players and fans came into this game thinking series sweep. An easy sweep at that. They were in for a long back and forth battle between the two lowest scoring teams in the league.
Adrian Beltre came back from surgery in which he had bone spurs removed. He did not fare...
Jack Hannahan is Our New Backup Middle Infielder
With Adrian Beltre coming off the DL today, the Mariners opted to designate Chris Woodward for assignment, rather than optioning Jack Hannahan to triple A. At first glance this is a bit of an odd move, as Woodward is our only real backup middle infielder, and Hannahan has options left...
On Ian Snell Tonight
New Seattle Mariners hurler Ian Snell made his much anticipated debut tonight against the Texas Rangers, working six innings of two run ball. When you take into account the fact that he was facing a powerful lineup like the one Texas has, his results were pretty good, but overall he...
Mariners July Lineup Grades
Ichiro – A
Ichiro had yet another great month in July, racking up 39 more hits and hitting .336 in 27 games. The flashes of power he was showing earlier in the year completely disappeared this month, not hitting a single home run, but he continued to make up for his lack of...
Griffey and cast take down division rival Rangers
Tonight’s game was an unusual one for the Mariners.
The umpire was inconsistent all night, so it was difficult for both the hitters and the pitchers to pick up exactly where his strike zone was.
Taking the mound for the Rangers was 23 year old Tommy Hunter. Well, let’s...
Analyzing the Washburn Trade
As I think everyone knows by now, the Mariners made pretty big trade today, in which they traded veteran lefty starter Jarrod Washburn to the Detroit Tigers for minor league fire-baller Mauricio Robles, and 23 year old starter Lucas French.
What we gave up:
I think by now, most Mariner...
Washburn to Detroit for Two Young Pitchers
Thank you, Jack Zduriencik! Veteran lefty Jarrod Washburn was traded to the Tigers today for 23 year old pitcher Luke French and 20 year old fire-baller Mauricio Robles.
This is a wonderful day. Luke French is a very similar pitcher to Jarrod Washburn – the main difference is...
My Final Word on Washburn
So, here we are. There are roughly 16 hours until the trade deadline, and Jarrod Washburn is, as far as we know, still a Mariner. Many of the teams that were being linked to him a few days ago, no longer make much sense.
The Brewers have fallen far enough back in the standings, that...
Derek Holland two hits the Mariners
The big story in the Mariners news today came from a 22 year old right handed pitcher in Derek Holland.
He had the Mariners hitters off balance all night long. He did an amazing job of switching his pitches up and switching speeds. He carried a no hitter into the 6th where Jack...
Taking a Look at Today’s Trade With Pittsburgh
As you should know by now, the Mariners pulled off a semi-blockbuster trade today. Seattle sent Jeff Clement, Ronny Cedeno, and three minor league pitchers to the Pirates for shortstop Jack Wilson and starting pitcher Ian Snell.
Now, I did not get the feeling from this trade that it...
Griffey and Mariners down Halladay and the Jays
Today, the Mariners were heading into the game against the Blue Jays still trying to get back to playing “Wak Ball”.
They came into the game 7.5 games back of the division leading Angels, and were trying to pickup a game against the best pitcher in the league in Roy...
Jeff Clement, Ronny Cedeno, and Three Low-A Pitchers Dealt to Pirates for Wilson and Snell
Reports are being confirmed all over the place that the Mariners have traded minor league catcher Jeff Clement, major league shortstop Ronny Cedeno, and minor league pitchers Nathan Adcock, Brett Lorin, and Aaron Pribanic to the Pittsburgh Pirates for veteran shortstop Jack Wilson...
Ichiro Delivers First Career Walk-Off
Jarrod Washburn pitched seven innings of one run ball tonight, in what probably was his last outing as a Mariner. He left the game with a 3-1 lead, but was robbed of the win when Mark Lowe couldn’t hold it. With two outs in the eighth, and lead cut down to one, he allowed the [...]
AL West Roundtable
Daniel Abbas, a writer over at Bleacher Report, conducted an AL West roundtable today, asking five questions to a writer for each of the four teams.
The writers involved are Bo Reed (Texas Rangers), Griffin Cooper(me) (Seattle Mariners), Nathaniel Stoltz (Oakland Athletics), and Johnathan...

Regression Has Hit the Mariners Hard
Do you remember a few days ago, when everyone around baseball, and on ESPN, was talking about how great the Mariners pitching staff was? Well, those days may be over.
The Mariners gave up 10+ runs for the third game in a row today, and 9+ for the fourth game in a row, in an 11-4 [...]
More on Jarrod Washburn
*Update – Carlos Villanueva has been named as Milwaukee’s Tuesday starter – doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it’s kind of interesting.
As you know, there has been a lot of speculation over the last two days about a possible trade, which would send...
Washburn to Brewers Rumor
Yet another trade rumor has surfaced today, this time via Geoff Baker’s blog over at the Seattle Times. The rumored deal would send Jarrod Washburn, and from what I’ve heard Brandon Morrow, to the Brewers, in exchange for top shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar, and according...
Welcoming Chad Lewis
We’re welcoming a new blogger here at Sodo Mojo today, Chad Lewis. Chad is a diehard Mariners and Seahawks fan, and he writes over at Bleacher Report, as do I. Let’s see, he’s from Silverdale, Washington and is a junior in high school. He should be a great addition...
Another Blowout Loss, a New Trade Rumor
The Mariners suffered another ugly loss tonight, being blown out by the Cleveland Indians 10-3. The Mariners only three runs came in the ninth inning, when it didn’t matter - although it did snap a streak of 20 scoreless innings in a row.
Erik Bedard might be hurt again, as he...
Two Ways to Look at it
The Mariners lost another game in the standings today, as they fell to the Indians 9-0. The Angels, Rangers, and Red Sox all won, which pushes us back to 6.5 games out in the West, and 5.5 out of the wild card. I see it as there being two different ways to look at the [...]
Russell the Muscle Saves the Day
Felix Day was looking bleak for the Mariners. The score was 1-0 Tigers after seven, and although King Felix had pitched very well, the Mariners had managed only two hits off of the mediocre Armando Galarraga.
The beginning of the eighth inning brought a little bit of hope, though,...
What a Day
Today was a pretty bad day for the Seattle Mariners, but not nearly as bad as it could have been. First of all, the Angels swept their doubleheader against the Royals, and the Rangers beat the Red Sox. So that was bad.
Garrett Olson pitched really badly, giving up seven runs in 1 1...
What to do With Jarrod Washburn
Sitting here on July 20th, 11 days before the trade deadline, the Seattle Mariners find themselves in an awkward position. The Mariners continue to win, and despite the fact that the Angels never seem to lose, still remain only 4 games back. It has yet to become clear whether or not...
