Mariners News

The Seattle Mariners continue to stumble, dropping yet another game to the Kansas City Royals, this time 8-6, which is part of their dismal 1-5 season record against this struggling team. With a 25-29 mark, they’re on track for a mediocre 75-win season that is far below expectations. Defensive lapses have been glaring, as evidenced by the sloppy play that has plagued them throughout this series. While Colt Emerson showed promise with a +.14 WPA, Bryan Woo and Luke Raley both posted negative contributions, underscoring the team's inconsistency. As they prepare for a new series against the A’s, there's talk of a piggyback approach for starters Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller, but the real issue lies in Jerry Dipoto's evident lack of urgency to address the team's chronic problems. Fans have every right to feel frustrated as this once-promising season begins to slip away.

Emerson shows mettle, but Mariners can't overcome Royals hump

KANSAS CITY -- The Mariners hit the one-third mark of their season Sunday and find themselves on a 75-win pace with a 25-29 record. That’s far from where they had hoped to be, and a big part of the problem has been their inability to handle the Kansas City Royals.
