MLB.TV free game of the day is this wacky Mariners astros game, what the heck is going on? inbetween have a drunk 20 year old behind the ump who seems to be mic'ed louder than the commentators, and the guy cutting frantically between about 15 cameras between each pitch (which I'll be honest I AM LOVING), this is one of the weirdest ball game broadcasts I've ever seen

if this is a consistent thing i might become a seattle fan

Felix vs Texas, imminently

Carter Capps looks like a 15-year-old giant

wau, finally got to Verlander

WE WANT OLLIE

this team sucks

they are brutal

Matt Sussman of BP: "Man, Eric Wedge losing three straight games in Cleveland really takes him back."

ackley to tacoma; nick franklin is up and drew a walk today

Wedge was talking about Ackley's demotion to Triple-A and his mental approach, and he intimated that Ackley might have been too concerned with pitch selectivity and high on-base percentage, leading to a one-liner that hit on one of baseball's most intriguing ongoing philosophical battles.

"It's the new generation. It's all this sabermetrics stuff, for lack of a better term, you know what I mean?" Wedge said. "People who haven't played since they were 9 years old think they have it figured out. It gets in these kids' heads."

SEATTLE -- The wife of Seattle Mariners outfielder Carlos Peguero has been accused of making $180,000 in unauthorized purchases with a debit card belonging to another person in the Mariners organization, federal court documents showed.

Citing an anonymous source familiar with the investigation, The Seattle Times reported Saturday that the unnamed victims described in court documents are star pitcher Felix Hernandez and his wife. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment beyond what was available in court filings, and a team spokesman did not return a call seeking comment.

Maria Jacqueline Peguero was charged earlier this month with three counts of wire fraud, according to the federal court documents. An agent with the U.S. Secret Service says in the court filings that Peguero made 60 unauthorized purchases in 2012 from the upscale retailer Saks Fifth Avenue.

Maria Jacqueline Peguero, 22, was arrested in the case but is now free on bond. Her court-appointed attorney did not return a call seeking comment Saturday.

The court documents do not identify the two people who owned the debit card in the case but the filings say one of them is a co-worker of Carlos Peguero. Peguero has been with the Mariners organization for several years, playing some games with the Seattle club but spending most of this past year with the team's Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma.

One of the debit card owners -- Hernandez's wife, according to The Seattle Times -- has a limited understanding of the English language and described to investigators that Maria Jacqueline Peguero had helped her to make online purchases in May 2012. She also told authorities that Peguero had asked whether she reviewed any of her bills, and she had responded that she did not usually review bills because the finances of the two victims were managed by a third party.

Authorities say Peguero had items shipped to her own apartment in Fife. Representatives from Saks first began scrutinizing the purchases because the billing addresses and shipping addresses did not match, according to court records.

Carlos Peguero is not charged in the case and told authorities that his wife had told him that her brother worked for Saks.

Part of the investigation focused on images that Maria Jacqueline Peguero had posted on her Twitter account. Investigators said the images showed her wearing clothes that matched items purchased online from Saks, including a leather purse that costs $1,750 and a blouse that costs $208.

The Mariners’ front office is plagued by “total dysfunction and a lack of leadership,” according to former manager Eric Wedge. Wedge and other former and current team employees describe problems at the top of the organization.

Ackley's beard is obviously thick and luscious, but it doesn't come off as a masculine feature. Its very tender. #Scouting

There's a guy on the Mariners named Dominic Leone. I bet she's pretty.

Haha, yesterday I was considering starting Seattle Mariners 2014: How hot is Dominic Leone in person?

do it, i hate multiyear threads
