"No, keep your fingers down. And it would be nice if all Seattle Mariners interviews were just little less grumpy. But hitting? The Mariners could do worse - in fact, they have done worse - than following Milton Bradley's example.

Through nine games, Seattle has four home runs. Rob Johnson and Casey Kotchman each had solo home runs. Bradley has two homers - one good for two runs, the other for three.

Two swings, five RBI? This early in the season, with the entire team finding its way, that's production. Seattle's designated hitter, for instance, is batting .129 and has produced one RBI in nine games.

Kotchman leads the team with six RBI, but isn't in tonight's lineup - Matt Tuiasosopo is. Bradley is No. 2 on the team with five RBI, and he's the DH tonight.

No other Mariner has more than two RBI.
