Staff report

It’s another September where the Seattle Mariners are pushing for a playoff spot that for now is just a bit out of their reach.

Heading into a three-game home series against the AL East-leading New York Yankees, the Mariners are 77-73, putting them 2 1/2 games back of a wild card and four games behind Houston for first place in the AL West.

Will this be like 2022, when the Mariners were able to end their long playoff drought? Or will be it be like 2021 or 2023, when Seattle came a win or two short of making the postseason?

Bob Stelton of Seattle Sports’ Wyman and Bob sat down for another edition of his weekly Mariners breakdown video series, discussing the surge the M’s have made in recent weeks, who has impressed him and much more.
