Mariner Talk Chat Forum

From the MLB.com Pipeline feature on the most improved farm systems: 6. Mariners (No. 11): The first jump came courtesy of the Robinson Cano trade and was buoyed by strong first impressions by Jarred Kelenic and Justin Dunn after coming over in that deal. Both 2018 draftee Cal Raleigh and trade acqu...

I read Ball Four three times and carried away something different each time. My grandmother gave me my first copy in 1970 when I was 14 years old and I was fascinated by the tales of sex and partying. I read the book again in the 1990s and was interested Bouton's description of baseball's early labo...

I am an old guy who got hooked on the Mariners in 1995 a year after moving to the Pacific Northwest just before the 1994 strike. While studying for an exam in 1995 I had the Mariner radio broadcasts on as background noise. I was captivated by the M's late-season surge to advance to the postseason. E...
