Seattle Mariners Love ‘em & Hate ‘em – May 17th edition
The good, the bad, the ugly

Going...Going...Not Gone: Seattle Mariners Michael Saunders Steals One From Toronto's J.P. Arencibia
It has to be a little bit frustrating for batters to see a hot they know they absolutely crushed nabbed out of the air at the absolute last possible moment. Like with this play, if Saunders had not gotten back and jumped up to make the grab then this would have been two bags easy if not three (it looks like it was going to hit right under the line.
Better luck next time J.P.

Seattle Mariners disappoint in home opening series vs. Astros
The Seattle Mariners created some minor buzz this off season by slightly bringing in some of the fences at Safeco Field to help the offense.
