MARINERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Seattle Mariners’ Hisashi Iwakuma: A Legit #2 Starter
Hisashi Iwakuma is proving that King Felix isn’t the only notable pitcher in Seattle.
Everyone knows about Felix Hernandez. For the last decade-plus, he and Ichiro Suzuki have been the only reasons for Seattle Mariners fans to even bother watching their team. And with Ichiro now in New York with the Yankees, King Felix has become, from a casual fan’s perspective, not only...
Could Seattle Mariners Pitcher Brandon Maurer Be Next In Line?
The Seattle Mariners are littered with good starting pitching prospects in their farm system. While everyone who follows baseball prospects will point to either Taijuan Walker, who is currently pitching for their Double-A team, Jackson Generals, or Danny Hultzen, who is currently with the Mariners Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, but is on the 7-Day Disabled List, as the...
A’s Stifled By King Felix, Lose to Mariners 4-0
Felix Hernandez is awesome. The A’s probably already knew that, but the fact was reinforced Saturday afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum. Hernandez shut out the A’s for seven innings as the A’s fell for the second straight game to the Seattle Mariners. With his usual assortment of low-90′s fastballs with late movement and a filthy slider, Hernandez cut through the A’s order...
2013 Fantasy Baseball: The Week 12 Closer Report
Get me rewrite! I wanted to stay up late to see if the Mariners got a save opportunity. And if they did, how Eric Wedge would handle it. He handled it exactly as I thought he would. He let lefty specialist Oliver Perez pitch the ninth with two right-handers coming up. And, as expected, Perez closed them out with relative ease. Wait? What? Perez was one of my dark horses, but heâ...

Sunny Days Ahead for Seattle Mariners
Of course it’s always rainy in Seattle, and with the recent demotions of top prospects Jesus Montero and Dustin Ackley, not to mention the flop in progress that is Justin Smoak, things seem especially gloomy. Don’t fret Mariners fans help in on the way.
Shortly after being sent to Triple-A Tacoma, news broke that Dustin Ackley, the former second overall draft pick out of Chapel...
Seattle Mariners: The closer situation
In a way, it’s déjà vu all over again. In 2012, the Seattle Mariners came into the season thinking they were set at closer. Brandon League had proved himself in 2011 with 37 saves. However, after blowing six saves with the Mariners in 2012, Seattle turned to Tom Wilhelmsen. Wilhelmsen finished the year strong, embracing the closer’s role earning 29 saves. He started...
To Trade Or Not To Trade Felix Hernandez
As the Seattle Mariners toil through another lackluster season, many have begun to wonder if this team will ever be competitive again. Fan interest is at an all-time low with only one true star to rally around; that poor soul being Felix Hernandez. As the Mariners drudge through what feels like their 10th straight rebuilding year, some have started to question if trading the ace...
Seattle Mariners miss near sweep vs. Astros
Half of an inning. The Mariners scraped across a run in the bottom of the eighth, and they took a 1-0 lead into the ninth, half of an inning away from a sweep. Instead, the Astros rally for six in the top of the ninth, salvaging the finale of the three-game set. Seattle ends up with a 5-5 home stand, and two bizarre sweep-busting losses (they also lost a sweep on the 7-5 16...

Taijuan Walker has seen Fresh Prince of Bel-Air pilot 30 times
Growing up as a teenager in the 90s, there were two TV shows that were constantly in the loop between 5pm-7pm in syndication. One, Saved by the Bell. Two, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The latter helped to launch the acting career of Will Smith. But let’s be honest, we all watched because Carlton Banks was the funny one. One individual is still watching it, all the time. Seattle...
Ready Or Not: Seattle Mariners Promote Catcher Mike Zunino
Whether he is ready or not, the Seattle Mariners with what appears to be out of sheer desperation have promoted 22-year old back stop Mike Zunino from Triple A, as reported by numerous sources. The 3rd overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft will be thrust into the forefront due to the demotion of Jesus Montero and the recent injury to Jesus Sucre. The Mariners will no doubt be...

Adult runs over child to get home run ball
