Rick Rizzs has given tirelessly of himself to Seattle, the Mariners, and the fanbase for the past forty years. Now it's time for him to enjoy what the world has to offer him. (Also: featuring a surprise villain arc by the Girl Scouts) www.lookoutlanding.com/news/138519/...

Always a joy for a familiar face to flex the pen with us. Today, that familiar face is @ajeto.bsky.social, on the most familiar voice in the PNW: Rick Rizzs.

“I just feel bad for the people who threw their hats on the ice.” -Jared McCann on his hat trick being called back

Feels good. Kraken are rolling again.

What disaster for everyone besides Edwin Díaz. And even that went south once NYC Media learned about Timmy Trumpets.

Rick Rizzs will retire after the 2026 season, the Mariners announced Tuesday.

New from Davy Jones' Locker Room!: Kraken Rumors: Shane Wright is apparently on the block. Does this make ANY sense for Seattle? www.davyjoneslockerroom.com/kraken-rumor...

Just thinking out loud here - Avs, Wild and Stars are locks for the Central - Knights and Oilers are locks for the Pac - Mammoth are locks for the Wild Card That leaves one Pac spot and one Wild Card spot for the Kraken, and they're in a (roughly) four-way tie with the Californians.

Actually Kraken vs. California begins tonight Hey Anaheim

Ah very cool thank you! Please read @lookoutlanding.bsky.social we’re doing great stuff everyday.

Congrats to @swingsandtakes.com for his phenomenal work on the batter’s eye at T-Mobile for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social. Very well deserved.

the rangers made a 5-for-1 trade for a high-strikeout lefty with two years of team control remaining who dealt with injuries late last season?

“But it’s well written ass” Will be the last words I speak on this Earth

One of my favorites so far of our annual previews for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social by Ryan. A casually thorough rundown on Logan Evans, a player currently In Between, with a heavy lean on some great recent @baseballprospectus.com writing+research at its heart.

Of course the Ducks get a win against the Avs in Denver while being outshot by 24

Logan Evans is a project for the modern Pitching Bureaucracy if there ever was one. On one of the most extreme splits in MLB, for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social

The Seattle Torrent have defeated the Toronto Sceptres! Final score: Torrent 6 Sceptres 4

Come for the Bryce Miller contract details, stick around for Nicky V sticking a fork (trident) in Randy Arozarena('s hands) and calling him DH www.lookoutlanding.com/series-previ...

Bryce Miller had (perhaps) the best five-start debut in MLB history while throwing nothing but fastballs. He's since developed a deep arsenal of secondaries, and few pitchers have more to offer. But a bone spur derailed what was supposed to be his breakout season in 2025. It's still in there.

Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners have agreed upon a contract for the 2026 season which includes a team option for the 2027 season. The deal was announced by the team, we'll update our story on the site as salary details come out.

Multiple citizen reports today of ICE deployed near Climate Pledge Arena, staying at the Stay Pineapple hotel at 5th and Bell. If you're planning on going to the Torrent game tonight and you've got a higher risk profile (i.e., if you're brown), be extremely vigilant.

this is pretty wild

I think this one of the most interesting things I've written in a while. As everyone tries to light up the pitch models, the pitch models are having a tougher time telling everyone apart.

Fucking Pope shit

When your forklift gets stuck, you get another forklift

Trenchant analysis as always

Yup, if Steve Cohen has proven anything, it's that you can't really buy a great baseball team. The Dodgers are great for many reasons, and they also spend a lot.

In a special session yesterday, Spokane City Council voted to accept a million dollar police grant from the Department of Justice. Out of 39 conditions, 1 requires police to give federal law enforcement information on immigrants and violates the Keep Washington Working Act.

I thought this was pretty good on the topic of wealth and sports ownership

WA SAO released its 2024 financial report for BPFD (the entity that oversees T-Mobile Park). The report shows revenue BPFD collected from the state admissions tax and from its revenue sharing agreement with the team. This allows an estimate for ticket sales. In 2024: $161M total for T-Mobile Park.

Busy day on the site today. Catching you up: the Mariners made a trade with a midwest team, just not the one people were talking about: www.lookoutlanding.com/news/138190/...

Cincinnati Reds traded RHP Yosver Zulueta to Seattle Mariners for RHP Dusty Revis.

Congratulations to the four electees of the 2026 National Baseball HaLL of Fame - at least by the baLLots submitted by the staff of @lookoutlanding.bsky.social !! www.lookoutlanding.com/miscellaneou...

Kraken, 21 wins: Wow what a spectacular season, they have a real shot at the division Devils, 23 wins: Wow everybody is going to get fired by spring

It’s official: Sounders will host their CCC Round of 16 match in Spokane. Game is scheduled for March 18. In addition, Reign will play ‘select’ regular season games there as well. www.uslspokane.com/news/2026/01...

With Lumen Field unavailable while undergoing preparations to host the World Cup this summer, Seattle Sounders announce they will host second leg of Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 vs Vancouver or Cartagines in Spokane (eastern Washington).

The Mariners were the top projected team in the AL after the Naylor (re)signing. If my math is correct, they are now fourth. Still the favorites in the West for now.

Great read

teams aren't using dollars per win to model reliever contracts — they're using cWPA. and i have proof! (i think) so i wrote about it for @fangraphs.com:

Thanks to @derekcarty.bsky.social, a look at some key Royals' projections before and after the announced park changes to Kauffman. Most interesting might be what the park does to pitching strategy and vibes on the free agent market, though: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

I did some math to approximate how many homers the new dimensions might create in 2026

One of the best things about baseball is the unique designs of the stadiums. So naturally, most clubs are trying to make their stadiums basically the same. Now the #Royals enter this game too. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Former Spokane Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich announced he was running for Wyoming governor today. Then after I asked if he was eligible over residency requirements in the constitution, he replied, “I’ll be back in 2030.” Here’s more: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
