Off-season
Coaching changes
Daren Brown, the Seattle Mariners interim manager during the 2010 season, stated that he had interest in returning as the full-time manager in 2011.[1] On October 5, 2010, The Seattle Times reported that Mariners had requested and received permission from the Kansas City Royals to interview their bench coach John Gibbons, who previously served as the Toronto Blue Jays manager.[2] The Seattle Times also reported that the Mariners interviewed Bobby Valentine and Lloyd McClendon for the open managerial position. On October 15, Eric Wedge was hired as the manager.
Death of Dave Niehaus
Long-time broadcaster Dave Niehaus suffered a myocardial infarction at his Bellevue, Washington, home while preparing to barbecue some ribs on his deck on November 10, 2010 and died at age 75.[3] Heart problems had forced Niehaus to undergo two angioplasties in 1996, leading him to give up smoking and change his diet.[4] He was survived by his wife, three children, and six grandchildren.[5]
On December 22, Seattle rapper Macklemore released a song called "My Oh My" in tribute to Niehaus. Macklemore performed the song at Safeco Field on Opening Day 2011 during the team's tribute to the late broadcaster.[6]
The team wore patches on their jerseys in commemoration of Niehaus during the 2011 season.[7] A bronze statue of Niehaus was unveiled on September 16 at Safeco Field.[8]

Season summary
After winning their first two games of the season, the Mariners lost seven games in a row, entering last place in the American League (AL) West. The team returned to .500 in late May, spending much of the next month in second place. A 17-game losing streak in July returned the team to the basement[19][20] and led the team to trade starters Doug Fister and Érik Bédard at the trade deadline.[21][22]
Pitchers Félix Hernández, Michael Pineda, and Brandon League represented the Mariners in the All-Star Game.[23][24] The Mariners created the King's Court fan section during Hernández's starts during the season.[25] Ichiro Suzuki's streak of appearing in the All-Star Game and winning a Gold Glove Award, which started in his rookie season in 2001, ended.[23]
Pineda, Dustin Ackley, and Mike Carp were named to the Baseball America All-Rookie Team.[26] Pineda was the AL Rookie of the Month in April, with Carp winning the award in August.[27][28]
