Thursday clubhouse notes, quotes

Posted at 4:41 pm by By Kirby Arnold

It's another perfect late afternoon at Safeco Field. If you're a kite. With a strong wind blowing from the west, it'll be a chilly night at the ballpark.

Here are a few notes from the clubhouse this afternoon:

--Pitcher Carlos Silva, who left Wednesday night's game because of a tight right thigh, rode a stationary bike (you thought he might pedal around Seattle?) for 40 minutes. He said he's fine and manager John McLaren expects him to make his next start.

--Pitcher Erik Bedard threw his last bullpen session before he's scheduled to come off the disabled list and pitch Saturday against the Oakland A's.

--Right fielder Brad Wilkerson's tight hamstring apparently is better, but McLaren said he probably wouldn't start tonight or Friday against left-handed pitching.

--Tonight will be the 4,000th game for Mariners trainer Rick Griffin, who began working with the team in 1983.

--McLaren made it clear he's not happy with the lack of offense in recent games. "We just need to start hitting better. That's all there is to it. We haven't faced some of the elite pitchers, either. We've faced some good young pitching, but I don't care who's pitching, we need to start picking it up."
