Mariners Insider | Tacoma News-Tribune CLEVELAND – Tom Wilhelmsen pretty much summed up the thoughts of the Seattle Mariners and their fans in minutes after yet another stunning walk-off loss to the Cleveland Indians. “We’re just happy to be leaving Cleveland,” he said flatly. “We are ready to leave this place.” After four days and four losses – three coming on the final swing of the bat – the Mariners have taken enough punches to the gut in this city to last 10 seasons. Monday’s 10-8 loss in 10 innings might have been the most painful. … Read more »

In Tacoma, Paxton made it just 4 2/3 innings and needed 98 pitches to make that far. He gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits, with three strikeouts and no walks. But the Rainiers … Read more »

May 19, 2013Mariners Blog | Seattle Times We've written many positive things in this space about the Mariners and their offense this season. But it's safe to say, this team is far from perfect offensively. And one of the shortcomings that gets mentioned a lot is the lack of athleticism and speed in the batting order. Heck, let's drop the athleticism part of it. The Mariners are just slow at times. They can really start clogging up the bases when the middle of the order gets on and we saw today what a team with real speed -- like the Indians have -- can do with it when it comes to manufacturing runs. Today's game was a 6-0 loss and som...

May 19, 2013Mariners Blog | Seattle Times Felix Hernandez caught a bad break in the second inning on a grounder to second that Michael Bourn legged out for an infield single with two out. The inning could have been over right there, but Hernandez didn't do himself any favors after that by yielding a line drive single to center by Jason Kipnis that left runners at the corners and then an absolute bom of a three-run homer to center field by Michael Brantley to make it a 5-0 game. The Mariners needed more in this game than Hernandez has given them so far. The Mariners have gone six up, six down on offense, so it's not looking good. 10:19...
