Seattle Mariners

Five days ago in Kansas City Felix Hernandez sat in the dugout for two innings trying to figure out how the Royals were able to hit him.

Before you jump all over me I am very aware of the the shortcomings of this team . There are a lot of things a lot of us would like to see happen but I want to focus here on getting this team back to square one.

When I walked into the clubhouse today I saw a face I did not expect I would see for at least a couple of months.

Every Sunday on the Mariners Magazine Show, long-time producer/engineer Kevin Cremin delivers a segment called Road Eats . The segment gives a snapshot of local flavor from the cities we visit and provides great tips for visiting them.

Michael Pineda delivered in his home debut going 7 1/3 innings, giving up 1 earned run on five hits while striking out 7 and walking 2. This is a kid we are going to get to know because he wants us to. He tackles the interviews as gamely as he does the opposing hitters. After […]

A welcome sight in the Mariners clubhouse as Franklin Gutierrez was moving his things into his locker when we were allowed in. Guti has been in Arizona attempting to regain strength and resume baseball activities. Because of the stomach issues he has been suffering from he has lost over fifteen pounds. He still does not […]
