The Seattle Mariners saw their four-year run of Vedder Cup dominance end last night, as the San Diego Padres blanked them 2-0 in a disappointing display that resembled many Friar victories this season: get a lead, then hand things to the bullpen and crush the final squirms of resistance.
Today is a new opportunity, however, as Seattle can still salvage this weekend’s series and attempt to end Sunday back at .500. To do so, they’ll be hoping to get to San Diego’s starter. Randy Vásquez stifled Seattle’s
offense last night, but veteran Walker Buehler has not had quite as much success this year. He’ll mirror Logan Gilbert, fresh off Walter’s best outing of 2026.
Cal Raleigh remains sidelined, but Kate took some time with the Big Dumper to discuss the difficulties of accepting “unavailability” when his career and success has been defined both internally and externally in large part by uncommonly impressive durability.
