The 2025 Mariners: sixth team in MLB history to have 3 G in which they hit 4+ home runs in shutout win. The first team to do it? The 1961 Yankees, the team Cal Raleigh (56 HR) & Eugenio Suárez (47 combined HR) are trying to join as only teammate duo (Maris/Mantle) with 50+ HR. #TheMayerGWS

Harry Ford: first MLB player to record a walk-off plate appearance prior to his first career hit since Patrick Mazeika for the Mets on May 7, 2021. Both Ford and Mazeika did it: • In first career home PA • As pinch hitters • Catcher as their primary position #TheMayerGWS

LEO RIVAS is an anagram for EL SAVIOR. #TheMayerGWS

There are 443 players who have recorded 50+ plate appearances at (any) ballpark in 2025. The highest OPS (1.162) and slugging percentage (.724) for any player at any ballpark? Josh Naylor at T-Mobile Park. #TheMayerGWS

The Mariners and Cardinals 2 most recent matchups are eerily similar… 2025: September 8th Mariners win 144th game of season Julio & Randy: 2 hits STL SP: Miles Mikolas 2024: September 8th Mariners win 144th game of season Julio & Randy: 2 hits STL SP: Miles Mikolas #TheMayerGWS

The Mariners became first team in AL history to have each of their Top-5 in batting order (Arozarena, Raleigh, Rodríguez, Suárez, Polanco) record 3+ RBI in same game. First in MLB since Braves (Deion Sanders, Blauser, Klesko, McGriff, Pendleton) on April 15, 1994. #TheMayerGWS

🔱 Julio Rodríguez has 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ career home runs & 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ stolen bases, only player in MLB history to reach 110/110 in first 4 seasons. 🔱 Cal Raleigh has 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ RBI, leading the AL. 🔱 Starting outfield Arozarena (#56) + Rodríguez (#44) + Robles (#10) = 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣. #TheMayerGWS

Like Julio Rodríguez today, the last definitive *infield hit* that scored TWO runs by a Mariners player I could find was Michael Saunders on May 22, 2014 vs. HOU. Both Julio & Saunders’ hits: • 7th inning • 2 outs • Broke tie game • Challenged by opposing manager (unsuccessfully) #TheMayerGWS

The Mariners today: 2️⃣8️⃣th one-run win (most in MLB) # 2️⃣8️⃣ Eugenio Suárez homers 2️⃣8️⃣ consecutive G with 5.0+ IP for Bryan Woo, still longest active streak in AL 2️⃣8️⃣ regular season games to go! #TheMayerGWS

The Mariners won a 1-0 game in which the uniform numbers of their only RBI (#12 Josh Naylor) + only run scored (#56 Randy Arozarena) = their starting pitcher (#68 George Kirby). First time since #15 Kyle Seager + #17 Mitch Haniger = #32 Marco Gonzales on April 24, 2018. #TheMayerGWS

Josh Naylor is the first MLB player with 4+ stolen bases and 1+ home run in his first 4 games with a franchise since Willie Bloomquist for the Arizona Diamondbacks from April 1-5, 2011. Naylor: former D’Back ➡️ Mariner Bloomquist: former Mariner ➡️ D’Back #TheMayerGWS

Three Mariners who are All-Stars this season (Julio Rodríguez, Randy Arozarena, Cal Raleigh) homered in the same game for first time since July 27, 2001 (Ichiro Suzuki, John Olerud, Bret Boone). That’s 24 years ago, tomorrow. What’s tomorrow? ICHIRO Baseball Hall of Fame induction day! #TheMayerGWS

Logan Evans is the first MLB starter whose name contains letters of the word “ANGELS” to win his first career game against the Angels since Garrett Olson on July 27, 2008. BONUS: You can spell “ANGEL” from Jorge Polanco’s name (homered). 😇 #TheMayerGWS

Cal Raleigh hit 2 HR & grand slam on 4️⃣ year anniversary of MLB debut (July 11, 2021). Cal also became seventh player with 38+ HR in team’s first 94 G. The first: Babe Ruth. What else do Cal & Babe have in common? Both made MLB debut on July 11! 🤯 (July 11, 1914). #TheMayerGWS

Only 2 pitching staffs in MLB history to win back-to-back games by a 1-0 score with 24+ strikeouts and ≤1 walk: 2025 Mariners July 5-6 #5 hitter HR as only run in second game 1933 Giants July 2 (G1 & G2 of Doubleheader) #5 hitter HR as only run in second game #TheMayerGWS

Jorge Polanco tonight & Carlos Santana (w/CLE on 4/8/25) scored the only run in a 1-0 win on their birthday. It’s the third time in MLB history that’s happened multiple times in a season, joining: 1916: Dots Miller & Dave Robertson 1968: Duke Sims & Ron Swoboda 🎂🎈 #TheMayerGWS

Most home runs by a “Cal” in MLB history: 35 - Raleigh (2025, thru only 88 G!) 34 - Raleigh (2024) 34 - Ripken Jr. (1991) 30 - Raleigh (2023) 28 - Ripken Jr. (1982) 🇺🇸 🎆 🌭 #TheMayerGWS

Andrés Muñoz recorded save #19. Randy Arozarena and #19 Jay Buhner (June 5-7, 1989) both homered in their first 3 G vs. the Royals in their first full season with the M’s. And Kudos to Matt Brash, whose Mariners RECORD 19 games with 0 R to start a season ended. 1️⃣9️⃣ #TheMayerGWS

My best case for Cal Raleigh as American League MVP so far isn’t just that he leads MLB with 32 home runs and 68 RBI. It’s not just that he’s on pace for 67 HR, 143 RBI, 120 runs, 95 walks & 19 stolen bases. Cal also leads the AL in Win Probability Added (WPA), the WINNING stat…

CAL RALEIGH: 32 HR+68 RBI = 💯. Cal is the second switch-hitter in MLB history to have his HR+RBI≥100 this early into the season (77 G). He joins Mickey Mantle (29 HR+71 RBI = 💯) in the 1956 Yankees’ first 77 G. Mantle also did it vs the Senators/Twins franchise. He won AL MVP in ‘56. 👀 #TheMayerGWS

Cal Raleigh (18 TB) & Donovan Solano (16 TB): first teammate duo with 16+ total bases in a 3-game series against the Cubs in Wrigley Field history. The Cubs have done it once at home: Derrek Lee (17) & Alfonso Soriano (16) from Sept. 21-23, 2007 vs. Pittsburgh. 🌭 #TheMayerGWS

Cal Raleigh & Mitch Garver are the only teammate duo in MLB history whose primary position is catcher to hit their 100th career HR in the same season. Both did it in multi-HR games on the road vs. NL Central teams (Raleigh 4/16 at Reds, Garver 6/20 at Cubs). 💯💯💯 #TheMayerGWS

I joined @marksimon.bsky.social last week to talk some Mariners and to talk some stats! Thank you for having me!
