    Last week in Seattle, I talked to pitching strategist and coach Trent Blank about the Mariners’ top pitching prospects, Jurrangelo Cijntje and Ryan Sloan. Both drafted in 2024, Cijntje is currently ranked 92nd and Sloan 96th on MLB Pipeline’s top 100 prospect list, and are opening eyes both in and out of the organization.

    With the Seattle Mariners (26-19) back on track following a sweep of the Padres in San Diego, they have pushed their lead in the AL West to 2 1/2 games over both the Houston Astros (24-22) and Texas Rangers (25-23). Before the M’s open the second of three series on their current 10-game road trip, it’s a good time to empty the notebook. Here’s a look at the pitching staff in general and how reliever Matt Brash’s long-awaited return from the injured list has gone so far.

    The often used two-word explanation “it’s early” cuts both ways in baseball. Things not going great? Well, it’s early. There’s time, much can change. Off to a roaring start? Well, it’s early.

    We caught up with Seattle Mariners assistant general manager Andy McKay on Thursday’s pregame show on Seattle Sports. In addition to his really interesting perspective as the former M’s farm director on seeing Cal Raleigh rise from a 2018 draft pick to one of the hottest hitters in baseball (link below), he shared thoughts and updates on players in Seattle’s highly-ranked farm system. Here’s a look at three things McKay talked about.

    It has been quite a week for Cal Raleigh, who in one five-game stretch became the Seattle Mariners franchise home run leader at catcher, the second-fastest Mariners player to 100 career home runs, and completed the feat of homering from both sides of the plate for the fourth time in his career. That was all part of a week that saw him leading baseball in home runs (six) and wRC+ (293).

And that my friends is a 1-5 roadtrip. Mariners fall 5-2 to the Dbacks and are swept in the series. 5x40 wRISP in Az and have lost 13 of their last 17.
