Mariners 7 | Rockies 6
NINTH INNING VICTORIES ARE ALWAYS FUN, EVEN IN SPRING!
Offense? Wow, M's had some today...
Smoak hit his second spring homer (and this one from the RIGHT side), Bradely kept racking up the RBI and Figgins going 3 for 3 with an RBI and a SB, Steven Baron gets the winning hit in the NINTH And, the collective ELEVEN hits and SEVEN runs ain't half bad either.
Unfortunately, the bad news was with the starting pitcher...
His ERA went from just over TWO to just over FOUR today - the FIFTH inning was especially rough. Here's hoping it was just the inevitable "spring wall" and nothing to worry about.
LOTS OF NEWS AND NOTES TODAY
Felix
Vargas
Fister
Bedard
Pineda
Seemed to surprise many, including me. Good luck, Paper Boy!
NRI's Bard and Gimenez sent to minor league camp, French optioned to Tacoma

ST26 | vs. Rangers
Mariners 4 | Rangers 5
NOT SPECTACULAR MOUND PRESENCE TODAY
French gave up a lot of hits (NINE) in FIVE innings allowing THREE runs, ONE walk and ZERO K's. The "W's" (Wilhelmsen and Wright) continued to cruise through spring and the "P's" (Pauley and Patterson) each gave up ONE run (Patterson's coming in the 10th as the winning run for the Rangers)
OFFENSE EARLY SPARK AND THEN A FIZZLE
Figgy hit his first homer of the spring in the first inning with Ichiro on base. Bradley singled, moved to second when Cust grounded out and scored on Langerhans single. Then the lull began, as only TWO player reached base (and NONE scored) until Seager homered in the 8th to tie the game at four.
DEFENSE LOOKING SOLID (even the backups)
Heard most of the game on the radio today (a rarity) and the guys seemed pretty pumped about the D. Only ONE double play, but Moore recorded a pick-off and Josh Wilson made some nifty plays at 2B.

ss ST24 | vs. Cubbies and Dodgers
Mariners 3 | Cubs 6
ON THE MOUND
Except for Jimenez's really rough outing, the pitching was great.
AT THE PLATE
Offense? Not so much.
But, good to see that the only 2XBH (both doubles) were off of Justin's bat.
Mariners 6 | Dodgers 0
BEDARD CONTINUES HIS STRONG SPRING
Dare we dream that this will continue into the regular season?
And, the staff combined for a 5-hit shut out, allowing only FIVE hits (FOUR walks, though)
THE OFFENSE CONTRIBUTED WAY MORE THAN WAS NEEDED
Tui's bat getting hot - TWO hits, including a homer and THREE RBI.
And, Olivo wasted no time contributing in his first time back in the lineup since March 5th with a TWO-run single in the first.

g155 | salvaged in St Pete
Mariners 6 | Rays 2
luke scattered a few hits through four...
then, once he had the lead, he gave it up but, ultimately held on for the win
with a little help from his pen...
Jamie, Daniel and Brandon combined for only ONE hit, NO walks and FIVE strikeouts through the last FOUR innings. Daniel got a special fist bump from Felix after his inning, as he struck out the side, in order, all swinging!
look ma, runs!
double digit hits - Chone with a double and Josh with his second homer!

g148 | no delusions vs. Mr Lee
Mariners 1 | Rangers 6
Cliff (the mentor) vs. Jason (the mentored)....
I thought Jason would fair a bit better but, wasn't surprised at the outcome of the M's bats vs. Cliff
The defense was the lone bright spot...
All the routine plays were made (as they should be but, have necessarily been all season) and there were several players who made great plays (and not JUST the stalwarts like Ichi and Guit) all around the field.
~ Tui looked confident at 3rd and made some nice stops and throws to first. ,
~ Josh made a head-turning catch on a shallow CF fly
~ Figgy made a super sliding catch to get an out at first
~ Jason knocked down a come-backer and was able to get an out at home with a great tag by Josh
~ Michael made a neat sliding catch in LF
~ Justin held his own at first (on his first day back to the bigs after a night of celebration with the Rainiers the night before and a long flight earlier in the day), including a nice stop of a liner with a toss to Jason at the 1B bag for an out.
