"We can feel it. We're right there." The Mariners' seven-game winning streak has seen every single member of the roster make key contributions. Friday night, it was Mitch Garver's turn to take center stage and keep Seattle on pace with its division foes. www.mlb.com/mariners/new...

T-Mobile Park was jumping after Ichiro's jersey retirement ceremony, and Cal Raleigh helped make sure the crowd didn't calm down after first pitch. HR No. 44 for Big Dumper has him one shy of Johnny Bench for second on the single-season list for catchers. www.mlb.com/mariners/new...

"I'm damn proud to be a Seattle Mariner" Ichiro went into to the Hall of Fame 2 weeks ago. That was a celebration of Ichiro the pioneer, the baseball legend. Saturday was a celebration of Ichiro the Seattle staple Oh, and he's getting a statue next year www.mlb.com/news/ichiro-...

T-MOBILE PARK --

On the Rays' front today, on Tristan Peters' adjustments this year at the plate, his stellar defense, and the large contingent from Winkler, Manitoba at T-Mobile Park on Friday to watch his debut "I think he’s going to be good right off the bat.” www.mlb.com/news/tristan...

I'm on White Sox duty this series, but in the eight minutes before first pitch, read up on the last bit from my weekend on Mariners duty, about Randy Arozarena and Julio Rodríguez doing things as a pair that Seattle hasn't seen since Griffey and A-Rod www.mlb.com/mariners/new...

Julio Rodríguez's 100th career home run made history in more ways than one, and was just one part of a day packed with positives in Seattle. "I’m just excited to see where things are going to go from here.” www.mlb.com/news/julio-r...

Sixth-inning reading from Seattle, which went out and got Gabe Speier a new friend at the Deadline to join what has been the most righty-heavy staff in baseball www.mlb.com/mariners/new...

Got recalled from production for a spot-start on Mariners duty, and it starts with a different (actual) call-up: Brandyn Garcia is here, giving the Mariners a second southpaw in the bullpen: www.mlb.com/news/brandyn...

Bobby Witt Jr. was out by 10 feet at the plate. Hosed. Well and truly dead to rights. Until he wasn't, pulling out a highlight-reel slide to score what proved to be the deciding run in a 3-2 Royals win. "He rises to the occasion" www.mlb.com/news/bobby-w...

Story from last night on the Guardians beat, on how Cade Smith barely avoided a scary injury on the mound when he stared down a 106.6 mph comebacker but was saved by the bill of his cap “I count myself very lucky.” "That kid, nothing shakes him." www.mlb.com/guardians/ne...

Cole Young couldn't sleep ahead of his MLB debut. He spent the whole night awake, trying to imagine every possible way his first game could go. Reality ended up surpassing anything he could come up with. "Walk-off was not in my mind" www.mlb.com/news/cole-yo...

Paul Goldschmidt knew he was going to get more pinch-hit opportunities coming into the year, so he phoned a few friends -- namely, Matt Carpenter and Turner Ward -- to get tips. Wednesday, he came off the bench to hit his first pinch-hit HR in 5,025 days www.mlb.com/news/paul-go...

Pregame story from Seattle: All things considered, the Yankees got "good news" on Oswaldo Cabrera, who didn't need emergency surgery and was discharged from the hospital last night. He's headed back to NYC for further evaluation. And DJ LeMahieu is back: www.mlb.com/yankees/news...

News on Oswaldo Cabrera, per Aaron Boone: - No emergency surgery needed - He went to the hospital but didn't need to stay overnight, and was back at the team hotel this morning - He'll fly back to NYC today to meet with specialist for further testing and evaluation

From last night on the Yankees beat, where the news about another win went out the window in the ninth inning when Oswaldo Cabrera had to be taken off the field in an ambulance. "One of those unfortunate things that pops up that lends perspective to what we’re doing" www.mlb.com/yankees/news...

Tigers have designated Kenta Maeda for assignment. RHP Tyler Owens called up from Triple-A Toledo. His first appearance out of bullpen will be his MLB debut.

Mike Trout left the Angels' 9-3 loss in Seattle on Wednesday in the fourth inning, after jamming his left knee trying to leg out an infield single. After the game, he said the exit was precautionary, and doesn't expect to miss much (if any) time www.mlb.com/news/mike-tr...

For his latest trick, Agustín Ramírez pulled out his first career two-homer game -- one frozen rope, one moonshot -- to cap off one of the best first weeks in Major League history "He’s combining the strong plate discipline with quality of contact.” www.mlb.com/marlins/news...

Not breaking news on the Marlins front, but we got to talk with Griffin Conine about his dislocated shoulder and upcoming procedure in LA: www.mlb.com/marlins/news...

"It doesn’t seem like the stage is too big for him" Agustín Ramírez's home run Friday wasn't the difference in the Marlins' win Friday. But it entered the rookie's red-hot start -- 7 hits, 4 doubles and a HR in 3 games -- into historic territory www.mlb.com/marlins/news...

From Last night: Jacob deGrom is still trying to find his Cy Young command early this season, after going 4 innings against Seattle and allowing 4 walks (most since '22) and 2 HRs (first time allowing multiple in back-to-back starts since '19) Bochy: "He's human" www.mlb.com/rangers/news...

SEATTLE - One Texas team leaves town, another comes in. Here for a couple days on Rangers coverage for @kennlandry.bsky.social

Fans took off work or hopped on busses to get out to Teaneck, New Jersey. Because when a team with a 99-game losing streak takes on a team with a 42-game losing streak in a doubleheader, baseball magic is practically guaranteed. www.mlb.com/news/yeshiva...

Some much-needed good news on the Spencer Arrighetti front for the Astros: The right-hander should avoid surgery. He'll be in a cast for the next two weeks, after which they'll take another look at his broken thumb www.mlb.com/astros/news/...

On a day that began with another injury to the rotation, Hayden Wesneski gave the Astros seven strong innings and a bit of much-needed stability in a duel with Logan Gilbert. Joe Espada: "I thought my guy was better than their guy" www.mlb.com/news/hayden-...

How am I supposed to focus with a postgame dog parade going on in front of me?

Because the Astros rotation hasn't dealt with enough injuries, here's another, which can be chalked up in the "how bad can your luck get?" category www.mlb.com/astros/news/...

Tsung-Che Cheng remembered the cake for his wife's birthday yesterday, but didn't have much else planned (or another present). Then the Pirates called and said he was being promoted to the Majors. “It feels like this is kind of the best birthday gift for her." www.mlb.com/pirates/news...

Casey Mize hasn't won a game at Comerica Park since July 29, 2021. He's in line to beat the Yankees after 6 innings of 1-run ball with 3 walks and 6 K's on a frigid afternoon in Detroit. Six of his 10 swinging strikes came on his splitter.

Here is the *complete* list in MLB history (h/t Sportradar): Bobby Jones & Bobby Jones 2x (7/3-7/4/2000 & 8/10-8/11/2002) Luis Castillo & Luis F. Castillo* (4/2-4/4/2025). *when Luis F. Castillo starts today

When Luis F. Castillo starts for the Mariners (a game after “The Rock” Luis Castillo started), I believe it will be the first time that’s happened since 2 different Bobby Jones started for the Mets on July 3 & 4, 2000! I’ve been @‘d more about this than maybe ANY note ever. 😆

One last story on Tigers coverage this week, on Tarik Skubal, who got his college team out of practice to come watch him pitch today. "It’s definitely incredibly inspiring, just being able to look at the TV and see a guy who won an AL Cy Young, who’s from a small school like Seattle U."

From the Tigers beat last night: new-look Casey Mize broke out his new-look splitter and his new-look sliders, and for the better part of 6 innings, the Markners couldn't touch him. “A different part of the season and he’s probably going to cruise a little bit longer.” www.mlb.com/tigers/news/...

Whole lot went on for the Tigers last night in Seattle, capped by top prospect Jackson Jobe going four innings in a first career start that wasn't his MLB debut but felt a fair bit like one. "He's going to have plenty of games where he's going deeper." www.mlb.com/tigers/news/...

Just for fun, I think whoever's running the scoreboard at this Oregon-Arizona game in Seattle should throw a photo of Larry Scott up there, just to see what the reaction is

Kevin Willard asked who wanted the ball. Derik Queen demanded the ball. So Derik Queen got the ball. "When he said that he wanted the ball, and the way he said it, I knew something good was going to happen." Last story of the weekend from me (for the AP): apnews.com/article/marc...

When you're trying to run to get pregame coffee but there's a turtle blocking the road

“He was walking around the gym and yelling out, ‘I want you to shoot 30 3s next year.' And, I mean, a couple of those guys definitely were not believing that (after) the way we just played. "‘Thirty 3s, coach?’” Second story from CPA for the AP, on how Akron completely flipped its offense:

First story of the weekend for the AP, on Memphis being without its starting point guard tomorrow against Colorado State

Not the sight Memphis fans were hoping to see, but possibly not a totally unexpected one: Tyrese Hunter sitting out of practice, still in a walking boot. He's said he's out tomorrow

CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA - Gonna be here a fair bit the next few days, helping the AP out with coverage of the first and second rounds of the NCAA men's tournament

"I look back now and it is a really cool moment to look back and say, ‘Dang, that is a lot of points.'" UW sent Kelsey Plum's No. 10 to the rafters Saturday, making her the first player in program history to have her number retired. For the AP: apnews.com/article/wash...

Fake jet option to a screen. Option reverse. QB draw from the Wing T. All on one drive. Hell yeah.

Rent in Seattle has officially gotten too high for the Puget Sound, which left town this morning

SEC teams struggling mightily against the ACC, but on the other hand we'll have a snow game in the SEC while all the Big Ten games are being played in the sun. A realignment from what we thought we knew on par with the election

Pretty good day for UNC women's basketball teams
