The Mariners Just Dropped 'Torpedo 2.0' and It's Hilarious
The Seattle Mariners are on a roll with their 2026 commercial campaign, and the new spot that hit Sunday morning is exactly the kind of goofy content that makes baseball fun. In "Torpedo 2.0," several Mariners players get creative trying out alternatives to those torpedo bats that absolutely took over MLB last year. Spoiler alert: torpedo bats are apparently so last season.
The Commercial Blitz Has Begun
This is the second new commercial the M's have dropped for 2026, and it looks like they're just getting started. The team released their first commercial on Saturday, which had some fun poking at all the first-time fathers hanging around the clubhouse. Based on a social media post from Friday night, the Mariners are planning to drop a third spot on Monday and a fourth on Tuesday. That is a serious marketing push heading into opening day.
This Is What the M's Do Best
Mariners commercials have been a staple of team broadcasts for years, and the team has a legit track record of nailing them. Remember classics like "Larry Bernandez," "Big Dumper Trucking," Jamie Moyer's radar gun bit, or Ken Griffey Jr. tricking Ichiro into sitting in a glue-covered chair? These spots have become part of the culture. The front office gets it: the fans love this stuff, and it builds buzz around the team heading into the season.
Opening Night Is Almost Here
The defending AL West champions are coming off their first American League Championship Series appearance in 24 years, and they're ready to keep that momentum rolling. The Mariners open their 2026 season Thursday night at home against the Cleveland Guardians. With the team generating this kind of energy off the field, expect the crowd at Lumen Field to be absolutely electric. Let's go M's.
