Bold start: Bryce Miller takes the mound for Mariners spring action, and all eyes are on his spring debut as the clock ticks toward consistent velocity and refined slider shapes. Like his clubmates, Miller is a tinkerer who shares his progress publicly, giving fans a front-row view of his off-season adjustments. With last year’s injuries still in mind, this first spring outing is designed to ease him in with a shorter run, while we evaluate how his stuff and command have evolved.
The lineup for this game leans heavily toward Seattle’s A-side, with Brendan Donovan leading off to set the table. After Miller, the pitching slate aims to build on the momentum from Criswell’s notable spring breakout, followed by Casey Legumina, Ryan Loutos, Robinson Ortiz, Cole Wilcox, and Domingo González. It will be particularly telling to see how Cooper Criswell follows up his eye-catching spring debut, and I’m eager to see Ortiz and Wilcox join the early-season conversation as potential contributors.
Today's challenge: the Mariners collide with the Cleveland Guardians in their first spring matchup of the year. A familiar face on the Guardians’ side is Matt Festa, who shared a memorable off-season moment—a wedding held at a Scottish castle—with several Mariners teammates in attendance, including a party-down Cal Raleigh. Festa is listed as the scheduled pitcher for Cleveland.
Guardians’ lineup (targeting the Mariners’ pitching staff):
