Felix Hernandez's Son Isn't Here For The Bullshit
The Seattle Mariners did a cute thing before yesterday’s Father’s Day game, having a few of the players line up to catch first pitches from their kids. Keep an eye on the last kid in line, who is Felix Hernandez’s son. ...
Ruben Amaro Jr.: How Bad A GM Do You Think I Am?
Last night, CSN Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury reported that the Mariners are “checking in” on speedy Phillies outfielder Ben Revere. This makes sense: Revere has been squeezed out of his natural left-field role, and despite a down year, is still miles better than what Seattle has been getting from it...
Lloyd McClendon Gets Ejected, Goes Berzerk, Receives Standing Ovation
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon was extremely mad at the umpires in tonight’s contest against the Yankees, so mad that he made sure to yell at three different umps individually....
Holy Crap, Jesus Montero Is In Shape
Hardball Talk has a running gag where they chronicle every instance of a player getting described as being in the "best shape of his life." In the case of Seattle's former wunderprospect Jesus Montero, this might be the first time that it's no exaggeration....
With Chance To Gain Ground, Mariners Lose In Agonizing Fashion
The Seattle Mariners weren't going to make the playoffs this season. Going into yesterday's games, they were three back of both the Royals and A's for the final wild card playoff slot, with five games left to play. ESPN's playoff odds calculator gave them only a 0.1 percent chance. But did the Mar...
Mariners Suspend Jesus Montero For Ice Cream Incident With Scout
Last week we told you about an incident involving Mariners catcher Jesus Montero, a heckling team scout, and a hurled ice cream sandwich. In light of what happened, the Mariners have decided to suspend Montero for the rest of the season....
Jesus Montero Heckled By Scout, Throws Ice Cream Sandwich At Him
Jesus Montero was a can't-miss catching prospect who appears to be missing, badly, and an incident last night during a minor league rehab appearance in which he tried to fight a scout who had been heckling him is probably not going to speed his trip back to the majors. It's a pretty incredible story...
An Adrian Beltre Head-Touching Attempt, Foiled
Robinson Cano wasn't quick enough to touch Adrian Beltre's head in last night's game. Take notes from Miggy, Robinson....
Tony Randazzo Ejects Lloyd McClendon In Two Consecutive Games
Tony Randazzo ejected Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon Saturday night for arguing balls and strikes and he just tossed him again today for waving his hand in disagreement with a check swing call on Alex Avila. Last night, McClendon was tossed before he could step onto the field, but when he did Randa...
Report: MLB GMs Are Sick Of Dealing With The Mariners
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal dropped a report yesterday that MLB executives are getting sick and tired of waiting for Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik, widely expected to be a buyer at the trade deadline, to actually buy something....
Dustin Ackley Unmoved By His Own Home Run-Robbing Catch
Dustin Ackley was kicked out of second base when Robinson Cano signed with the Seattle Mariners, but last night against the Mets, he proved to be a fine left fielder....
Pujols, Trout Mock Fernando Rodney's "Arrow" Celebration
There's nothing more frustrating than an opposing closer being demonstrative about doing his job. Say, Fernando Rodney getting the third out, then miming pulling an arrow out of his quiver, nocking it, and firing. Infuriating, if it's against you. Yesterday, the Angels got the very best possible r...
Foul Ball Breaks Glass In Dining Area At Angel Stadium
A foul ball off the bat of Seattle's Brad Miller shattered the glass in a dining area located in the mezzanine section, somewhere between home plate and the visiting dugout. You can hear the reaction of the crowd, gasping in shock, and you can see the reaction of Brad Davis, wincing right after. J...
Dancing Mariners Pitching Coach Refuses To Turn Down, Might Be Your Dad
Mariners pitching coach Rick Waits joined pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen in a dancing session during Wednesday's batting practice, and we all learned that Rick Waits, much like your dad after a few Heinekens at a family barbecue, refuses to turn down....
Rex Hudler Catches Foul Ball, Flexes, Gives Ball To Fan
In the bottom of the second inning today in Kansas City, Salvador Perez took a hack at Chris Young's 1-1 pitch, and fouled it straight back into the Royals broadcast booth. Kansas City color man Rex Hudler caught the ball and celebrated appropriately, all while play-by-play man Steve Physioc called ...
Mariners Announcer's Brain Breaks In The Middle Of Home Run Call
Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a huge game last night, smashing two triples, a double, and a three-run home run in five at-bats against the Yankees. The only blemish on Seager's big night was play-by-play man Dave Sims's call on the homer. ...
These Women Are So Damn Excited To Get A Foul Ball
There's no specific time for this moment of sheer joy at a Royals-Mariners game on Friday. All we know is that these two women are so fucking pumped to get a foul ball....
Yankees Fans Boo Picture Of Robinson Cano, Until The Real Cano Shows Up
This is another great gag from Jimmy Fallon, along the same lines as the Matt Harvey prank Fallon pulled on Mets fans. The setup here is pretty simple. A producer gets Yankees fans on the street to boo a large picture of Robinson Cano and after they boo and turn back to the camera, the producer tel...
Sonny Gray Fields Liner Off First Base For The Easy Out
Here's a fun thing that happened in yesterday's Mariners-A's game that I don't think I've ever seen before. Kyle Seager lashed a Sonny Gray pitch down the first-base line, only to see his would-be double carom off the base and right into Gray's glove, who was jogging over to cover first on his way t...
Mariners Will Travel 51,540 Miles In 2014, Circle Earth Twice
Over at Baseball Savant, Daren Willman has put together a neat interactive chart that lets you explore how far each team will travel on the road in 2014. The Mariners—who are around 700 miles away from any other baseball team—will travel the farthest total distance at 51,540 miles. That's more than ...
