Hey everyone, Matthew here. I have taken the liberty of providing you with some Internet morsels to begin your day. Please click.
In Mariners News:
- The Mariners opened yesterday’s game with something that had never been done before.
The @Mariners are the first team in the live-ball era to have its first 4 batters of a game hit for the cycle in reverse order.#TrueToTheBlue https://t.co/8ODngO1wfq

- That was the happy news, now for the sad news.
Felix is going to the bullpen. Servais informed him before the game.
— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) August 10, 2018
- Scott Servais was asked about the move following Thursday’s win.
Servais on Felix to bullpen: "He’s done an unbelievable job as a Mariner and certainly I don’t take any of this lightly. But I just think trying to make the best decisions for the ballclub and really for Felix at this point, let’s just take a breath, step back, gather yourself."
— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) August 10, 2018
Servais: “I certainly respect him and everything he’s done here throughout his career, but these things happen and ultimately it’s about the team. It’s never easy. But hopefully he takes it the right way. Maybe he can work his way back into the rotation. We’ll see." https://t.co/DiBARA6see
