Mission Statement

We, Griffin, Taylor, Nathan, and Brett, the four bloggers of SoDo Mojo, strive to write about the Seattle Mariners critically, objectively, and constantly. We pledge to answer any questions you may have about the Mariners, Major League Baseball, or the mysteries of life in general —- provided they are at least remotely on-topic — and to never stray from sabermetric analysis until it is proven obsolete. We will remain uncorrupted by the spoils of ERA and win-loss record, and remain faithful to FIP and tRA.

We also promise to provide new, inventive content as often as we possibly can.
