Smoak Monster sightings in Seattle?
After focusing on the pitching side of the equation recently, we'll turn the focus to offense this week, focusing on guys who fit into one of three buckets:
Turnarounds - Poor April, very good May
Complete Duds - Take the opposite of "Turnarounds"
Surprises - Guys who made a cameo in April (if that), but have got off to a solid start this month
TURNAROUNDS

Jiu-Jitsu proposal is romantic, dangerous
Sports guys never seem to run out of ridiculous ways to propose to their girlfriends. There was Adrien Broner’s fake post-fight proposal, Mariners infielder Brendan Ryan’s magical trip to Japan, the Olympic swimmer who proposed in the swimming pool and about 100,000 guys who thought popping the question at a baseball game would be a fun, new idea.I’ll be honest and say I never...
Is Ike Davis Really Mike Jacobs Reincarnated?
It always is interesting how people automatically call a hitter that hits homers, strikes out a lot and has a low average “Dave Kingman.” Kong certainly had his issues, but regardless of what you think he still had a 16-year career in which he hit 442 homers. To say that Ike Davis is Kingman would be an insult since that would be an improvement over what he’s producing today...
Are M's headed for a breakthrough?
Catcher Kelly Shoppach said that a number of Mariners were talking on Tuesday, saying that if they had won their four-game series in Cleveland instead of getting swept, they would have been the talk of baseball, not the Indians.
Wishful thinking? Perhaps. But the Mariners arrived in Cleveland as winners of five of their last six series, with their only non-win being a two-game split...
Indians 10 Mariners 8: Yan Freaking Gomes and the Mariners Defense – a Lethal Combination
I have been to hundreds and hundreds of baseball games in my 37 years on this earth. I don’t think I have ever witnessed a game like this one. The beauty of baseball is that every time out, you may see something you have never seen before. Today was one of those days.
Like the great Mr. Skin says, “Let us fast forward right to the good parts.”
The Indians carried a 6-5 lead...

The Woes Of Safeco Joe
The one word that best describes the career of Joe Saunders is solid. He’s an eight-year MLB veteran who has an average career stat line, but has always given his team a chance to win ballgames. In his glory days with the Los Angeles Angels, he won 33 games over two seasons, a stretch in which almost every number he posted was completely average. He has never struck out more than...

Eric Wedge, the manager of the Seattle Mariners has to be fit to be tied, about now. he watched as his former team the Cleveland Indians took 4 in a row from his Seattle Mariners this weekend.

The Cleveland Indians complete the sweep over the Seattle Mariners with some 10th inning heroics from Yan Gomes….
In a game that saw a bit of everything, including 2 dropped balls by the Mariners first baseman, Justin Smoak that gave the Cleveland Indians a couple of extra chances of taking game 4 in the series, the Cleveland Indians did exactly that. This has to be one of the weirdest games in the history of Progressive field. If it was going to happen, it did today. The Indians watched as...
