What is the story about?
Good
morning everyone and happy Friday!
The M’s are on national TV tonight with an Apple TV broadcast on tap for the series opener with the Royals. The Apple TV broadcast has long been my favorite of the national TV presentations. Which ones have you been impressed with so far in 2026?
In Mariners news…
- The Lookout Landing staff discussed the merits and demerits of a “Gray Zone” for ABS challenges.
- Over on The Feed, Eric Sanford asked you all which Mariners starter you’ve been most impressed with so far this year.
- Adam Jude at The Seattle Times spoke to Mariners brass about the impressive start to the season for M’s second baseman Cole Young.
Around the league…
- Brewers veteran starter Brandon Woodruff was removed from yesterday’s game and will undergo an MRI after seeing an alarming drop in velocity during his outing.
- Yesterday’s game between the Pirates and Cardinals featured a cool moment — Pittsburgh starter Paul Skenes got to face off against his high school mentor Nathan Church in their first-ever MLB matchup.
- The MLB Pipeline prospect team wrote about the hottest-performing minor league hitter for each MLB organization.
- Rustin Dodd at The Athletic spoke to several professional athletes — including Logan Gilbert — about why they take on a “persona” when they get on the field or court. ($)
