How Mariners’ Taylor Trammell used his off day to get big results at the plate against the Twins

4/7/21: Open Game Thread
Photo by Steph Chambers/ well, onward Even by normal Mariner standards, last night was pretty uniquely deflating. James Paxton exiting after just two dozen pitches and an electric first inning with the always ominous “left forearm strain”? A 10-4 - not so good, buddy - loss? Puke. Well, today’s a new day, a fresh start, and here’s to hoping the Mariners get off on the right f- courtesy of MarinersPR Well, then. Taylor Trammell starting against a lefty is something to keep an eye on, but I think he’s there more out of necessity than...

Mariners Moose Tracks, 4/4/21: Taylor Trammell, Jonathan Lucroy, Josh Donaldson, Go Zags!
Getty was getting some moody photos and I’m here for them | Photo by Steph Chambers/ That title teaser is a lot of disparate energy, isn’t it? Good morning and happy Easter to those who celebrate. I took the night off last night, which turns out to have been a pretty fun night to be around, between Gonzaga and the Mariners taking a series win from the Giants. Isabelle has the recap if you too missed the game, and if you missed the Gonzaga game, here’s a 15-minute recap that is absolutely worth watching all the way through. Even if you are a basketball dum-dum like...

Mariners take series against Giants, celebrate night of firsts
Big league smiles for a big league hitter | Photo by Steph Chambers/ Finally some dingers! A series win, Taylor Trammell’s first career hit, dingers and some competent pitching. Honestly, what more could you want on a Saturday night? Chris Flexen, in his Mariners debut - and first major league start since Aug. 24, 2019 - swirled through the hoary San Francisco Giants lineup for five innings, striking out six and not allowing a run. He topped out at 95 and wielded his cutter with aplomb, but struggled with command and the changeup in particular...

Opening Day debuts
Photo by Abbie Parr/ There’s just something magical about Opening Day Cobb County, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona; Newark, California; Houston, Texas; Frederick, Maryland. Those five areas mark the birthplaces of the five Mariners who will make their Opening Day roster debuts: Taylor Trammell, Sam Haggerty, Chris Flexen, Will Vest and Jake Fraley. It seems a little gratuitous, I suppose, to add this additional point of celebration, but fans aren’t the only ones who treat Opening Day with a particular reverence. “You always get a special kick on Opening Day, no...

Mariners Moose Tracks, 3/28/21: Masahiro Tanaka, Taylor Trammell, and Carter Kieboom
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports happy roster day to all who celebrate Good afternoon! Some lunchtime links wouldn’t do us any harm. In Mariners news... The Mariners are hoping to finalize their big league roster today, but they dropped a few spoilers last night, including that reliever Will Vest and outfielder Taylor Trammell had earned spots, particularly with uncertainty around Kyle Lewis’ health. Servais called it raw emotion. He asked Trammell what he thought about being in the starting lineup on opening night. He told Trammell it was ok to remove his...

Taylor Trammell’s big day ends with some big hits as Mariners beat Giants, 3-0
Mariners 3, Giants 0, at the Peoria Sports Complex Notable It was one of the best days of Taylor Trammell’s baseball career and it had little to do with his bases-loaded, two-run single in his first at-bat or the missile of a two-run homer he hit in his second at-bat. That blast, which Trammell admired […]

Taylor Trammell has a Very Good Day, so do Mariners, win 5-0
happiness | Photo by Steph Chambers/ What are these happy feelings breaking through my pandemic-induced dull haze of meh Rightfully this recap should belong to James Paxton as the primary character. Paxton was dazzling today in his final spring training warmup, giving up just two hits over four innings with nine strikeouts. Paxton was dealing with a postage stamp-sized zone from home plate umpire Alex Tosi (much like the goal of a ship captain is to never have the name of your ship green linked on Wikipedia, the goal of an umpire is to not have your name hotlinked in a...

About Five Nights ago: There’s something hot at the sixth starter spot
Photo by Abbie Parr/ Justin Dunn and Nick Margevicius are whipping up a nice little roster battle. First, an apology. I was signed up to recap last Thursday night and whoops I did whiff on it. It was a solid game, albeit near interminable, and a reminder I don’t relish the return of 7:10 starts over the 6-6:30 variety we got near universally last year. The 3.5 hour advertisement for pitch clocks nonetheless had plenty of excitement once the ball started getting delivered, with Kyle Lewis, Taylor Trammell, and Ty France showcasing the positive possibility of the...

Mariners take trip to artisanal tater shoppe, leave tab for Trevor Bauer
Photo by Abbie Parr/ If you were looking for a game to sell you some possibility on the young Seattle Mariners roster, tonight was the night. Facing the reigning NL Cy Young winner and newly highest annually paid pitcher in MLB history, Trevor Bauer, the M’s were stymied for the first few innings despite some sharp contact from LF Taylor Trammell and SS J.P. Crawford. Seattle’s near full A-team put together some decent plate appearances over the first four innings, but had just a single hit to show for it. And then came the fifth. Evan, José and Mitch with some...
