Seattle Mariners Starting Staff Tracking to Make Baseball History of the 2000s
![Seattle Mariners Starting Staff Tracking to Make Baseball History of the 2000s Seattle Mariners Starting Staff Tracking to Make Baseball History of the 2000s](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4161,h_2340,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/inside_the_mariners/01j5tt1wpmxtvft7nsrr.jpg)
The Seattle Mariners enter play on Wednesday at 64-63 on the season. With that record, they are 5.0 games back of the red-hot Houston Astros in the American League West and 6.5 games back of both the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins in the wild card.
The offense has been the worst in baseball in many metrics, and the bullpen has faltered at all the wrong times, which has contributed to the M’s two-month collapse. However, the starting pitching has remained the best in baseball. The group, led by Logan Gilbert, Luis Castillo, Bryce Miller, Bryan Woo and George Kirby, is on track to make baseball history not seen in the last 24 years.
Per Ken Rosenthal of ‘The Athletic:’
Entering Tuesday, the Mariners’ major-league best 3.26 rotation ERA was 0.20 runs per nine innings better than that of the next-closest team, the Philadelphia Phillies. That difference, if it holds, would be the sixth largest between the first- and second-place finishers since 2000, according to STATS Perform.
Bryce Miller gave up two runs over 4.0 innings on Tuesday, so the rotation ERA rose slightly, but Rosenthal’s point still stands. Emerson Hancock has also contributed greatly to that statistic, as he’s posted a 4.76 ERA in nine starts this year. He’s filled in for Woo, who has had two separate stints on the injured list.
The Mariners will be back in action on Wednesday night looking to finish out a hellish road trip with a win. They’ve gone 1-7 thus far through Detroit, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles.
First pitch against the Dodgers is 7:10 p.m. PT on Wednesday.

The newly appointed CEO of Starbucks, Brian Niccol is likely to cost his company a hefty amount with his latest decision.
As reported by several outlets on Tuesday, Niccol will not be moving to Seattle where Starbucks headquarter is located, instead, he will be using firm’s private jet to commute from California to Seattle thrice a week.
Niccol’s offer letter which was made public in an SEC filing last week confirmed his commuting arrangements with the company while highlighting a shocking example of the hypocrisy of high-profile companies regarding climate change.
An insider at CNBC confirmed that Brian Niccol will be working from Starbucks’ Seattle office in remaining days of the week.
“Brian’s primary office and a majority of his time will be spent in our Seattle Support Center or out visiting partners and customers in our stores, roasteries, roasting facilities and offices around the world,” the source revealed.
“His schedule will exceed the hybrid work guidelines and workplace expectations we have for all partners,” they added.

Seattle defense holds off late Washington charge in 83-77 win
Wed, Aug 21, 2024, 2:21 AM
The Storm forced 22 Mystic turnovers and scored 29 points off them in victory
WASHINGTON – The Seattle Storm got just enough points … and left the Washington Mystics with not enough time.
Jewell Loyd scored five of her 18 points and came up with a crucial steal in the final 2:25, and Nneka Ogwumike scored the last two of her 24 points on a lay-in with 48 seconds left as the Storm hung on for an 83-77 victory on Tuesday night at the Entertainment & Sports Arena.
Ezi Magbegor produced her eighth double-double of the season, this one with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Skylar Diggins-Smith added 17 points and handed out five assists, the fifth one coming on Ogwumike’s final lay-in.
The Storm built several double-digit leads, the last of those at 55-45 midway through the third quarter.
That’s when the Mystics (6-22), who now have lost five straight and haven’t notched a victory since July 10, started to climb back and stayed within striking distance the rest of the way.
The margin was down to four at 61-57 to start the fourth quarter. The Storm pushed it back to seven at 68-61. Washington finally narrowed it down to one at 75-74 on a pair of Shakira Austin free throws at the 1:38 mark.
After Seattle came up empty on its ensuing trip downcourt, Loyd picked off a pass from Brittney Sykes and went back the other way for a lay-in and a 77-74 lead with 1:10 remaining. The Mystics turned it over again on their next possession, and Ogwumike subsequently made it 79-74 at 48.2 seconds.
Loyd rebounded a miss by Sykes, and Diggins-Smith was fouled with 18.1 seconds to go. She missed the first but made the second for an 80-74 advantage. Sykes answered with a 3-point bomb with 11 seconds showing for 80-77.
Jordan Horston hit one of her two free throws at 8.9 seconds to make it 81-77. The Mystics came out of a timeout and immediately turned it over again. Loyd drained a pair of foul shots with 5.4 seconds remaining, effectively clinching it.
In spite of how close it got during the final few minutes, the Storm never trailed after Washington scored the first five points of the game. Seattle answered with a 15-0 run.
Diggins-Smith started it with a short jumper and wound up tallying eight of those 15 points, and Ogwumike chipped in five, part of her 14-point production during the opening period. Seattle kept the Mystics off the scoreboard for a stretch of 3 minutes, 40 seconds.
A nine-point lead at the end of the first quarter (26-17) narrowed to four at 28-24 early in the second quarter. The Storm responded with eight straight points, expanding it back to double-digits at 36-24. They then put up the final six points of the half to take a 44-30 advantage into the break.
Ariel Atkins finished with 25 points and Austin had 24 for the Mystics.
— Seattle forced Washington into 22 turnovers, converting those into 29 points. That’s the most points the Storm have scored off turnovers since June 2022. On Tuesday, 19 of those points came during the first half.
— However, Seattle turned it over 16 times, ending a club-record streak of 20 straight games with 15 or fewer turnovers. That was the fifth-longest such streak in WNBA history.
— Neither team shot well. The Storm finished at 38.6 percent (27 of 70), and the Mystics were at 38.9 percent (28 of 72).
— Seattle did have another solid night at the free throw line, draining 26 of 30 (86.7 percent). That was 13 more makes than Washington (13 of 19).
— The Storm have won all three games against the Mystics this season, including both in D.C.
The Storm has a five-day break before beginning a three-game homestand next Monday, Aug. 26, against these same Mystics, tipping off at 7:00 p.m. in Climate Pledge Arena (Fox 13+ / Prime Video Washington).
