Mariner’s left-handed pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith talked with Kevin today. He mentioned the great atmosphere in the clubhouse, the Mariner’s pitching as a whole this year, and more.
Rowland-Smith feels really comfortable with the group of guys on the team this year, saying, “This is an easy clubhouse for a young guy to come in and feel welcome…Everyone just gets along and everyone understands each other pretty well.”
Even though the Mariners are 7.5 games back of the AL Wild Card Rowland-Smith is really pleased with how the team has pitched overall this year, saying, “Overall I think our staff has been a great thing for us. Our numbers are great–the bullpen, the starting pitching. Even Mike Sweeney mentioned the other day, ‘This is the backbone of this team.”
