Oh hey!

ICYMI: Talked a lot about Colt Emerson's extension, where the relationship between the Mariners and Logan Gilbert could be going, and a lot more with @wordsfromthewharf.com.

The WFTW YouTube channel is now officially up and running. @tdg.bsky.social and I cracked some beers (needed) and talked Colt, the Mariners and more. Thanks all in advance for those who subscribe - enjoy! youtube.com/@wordsfromth...

If you think JP's extension was a good value for the Mariners - Colt's shouldn't bother you either. And given the other potential extension candidates at SS (Griffin, Made, McGonigle, De Vries) - the org was smart to get it done now. www.wordsfromthewharf.com/p/mariners-q...

Good Morning!

Boy did Cal need that. Goms, baby.

What a damn start from La Piedra. Way to shove, Luis.

This wound up as an out. At 2nd base.

Jose Caballero on the Yankees just further pushes the narrative that he’s the ass hole version of Leo Rivas.

Luis Castillo currently sitting 0.7mph faster on his fastball than he averaged all of 2025, which is in line with his 2024 velo. Castillo reversing his five year rolling decline in velocity in 2026 would be a nice little development for the Mariners rotation.

Ah yes like we all expected

I am all for 2024 Luke Raley and 2025 Dominic Canzone both existing on the 2026 Mariners.

Randall.

Hits with RISP? In this economy?

goodnight

Dan Wilson is really pushing the limits of how much vibes and the power of friendship can carry a roster. Because it sure as shit isn’t his tactical in game decision making.

Per Basegraphs, Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez are the first pair of teammates to strikeout 145 times in their first three games in major league history.

COME GET SOME

It’s taken 3 months to go from: Brendan Donovan is worth Bryan Woo. to Tai Peete will be better than Brendan Donovan.

Welcome back, Mariners. (derogatory)

Either Casey Legumina is Dan Wilson’s new Trent Thornton, or the Mariners are fine trying to speed run his DFA before the end of April.

well here we go

He’s all outta gum, folks.

Dominic Canzone read your skeets @nathanhb.bsky.social

You’re telling me the man raised in Alabama, who played baseball at SOUTH ALABAMA is wearing WHAT
