Wade LeBlanc is a starter again, but what are Mariners’ options if he struggles? | The News Tribune

Wade LeBlanc knows he’s about as unlikely as any pitcher in the league to throw a no-hitter.

“Maybe a guy with better stuff can kind of work through a game,” LeBlanc said. “But I got to attack hitters the first at-bat and kind of go off of that.

“Don’t beat yourself. A guy like me cannot beat myself.”
