Just a random observation without the benefit of data to back it up… It *appears* that the demographic of age plays a significant role on where #Mariners fans stand regarding the divisive subject of A-Rod.

Banking on the return of Matt Brash, Cooper Criswell, Carlos Vargas to bolster a faltering bullpen was an interesting choice. Hope is not a course of action. #Mariners

The #Mariners really do need another high-leverage bullpen arm. Adding another bench player, preferably an infielder capable of playing SS/3B, should be a priority too.

Taylor Ward's home/away splits this year are fascinating. It appears to this dumb nerd that the right-hand hitting Ward may have adjusted his approach at home. Look at the extreme splits between his hard-hit and barrel rates. Could this explain his drop in power in 2026? #Mariners
Taylor Ward was one of the six players I discussed about two weeks ago. It’ll be interesting to see how the #Mariners utilize Ward both in the lineup and in the field. Perhaps there will be follow-on moves that shape the team’s decision-making.

Three of the four relievers mentioned are still available. But probably not for much longer. #Mariners www.mariners-consigliere.com/p/so-the-met...
So, the Mets are sellers?
A team with a bad record is open to making deals. Unfortunately, the shelves are relatively bare.

Good morning! My thoughts on the #Mariners acquisition of Seranthony Domínguez yesterday evening. www.mariners-consigliere.com/p/mariners-a...
Mariners add needed veteran reliever
Time will reveal whether adding Seranthony Domínguez was an impactful move for Seattle. But the metrics aren't encouraging.

The #Mariners acquired an established relief arm this evening. Whether he'll be the high-leverage arm the club desperately needs is unclear to this nerd.

The 2026 #Mariners had the seventh worst July winning percentage in franchise history. The 2026 M’s also have the worst July winning percentage of the JeDi era.
The #Mariners offensive woes are NOT the kid's fault. Not even close. But c'mon. Keeping a .191 AVG and 33% strikeout rate in the everyday lineup feels like malpractice for his development and hamstrings an already suboptimal run production effort. www.mariners-consigliere.com/p/should-the...
Should the Mariners make a change at shortstop?
Youth must be served. But when and at what cost?

Maybe JeDi should express frustration more often. Also, this nerd believes the #Mariners President of Baseball Operations just publicly displayed more fire than I’ve seen from the current field manager.

Per FanGraphs Roster Resource… Andrés Muñoz has not pitched in a week. His last appearance was on July 19. José A. Ferrer has pitched once in the last week. #Mariners
The 2026 #Mariners are trailing the offensive production of last year’s team. Note the difference in PA’s when reviewing counting stats. I included HR%, SB% to help. 1/8
Yeah, the #Mariners need more than one bullpen arm.

Interesting nugget regarding the Angels. Per @baseball_ref, there have been four trades EVER between the Halos and #Mariners. The last deal was in 2012…Jason Vargas for Kendrys Morales. www.baseball-reference.com/friv/trade-p...

So, should the #Mariners fire Edgar and Perry?
