PEORIA, Ariz. — Felix Hernandez doesn’t think he could have changed the mind of Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais about opening day, even by pitching well this spring. Seattle’s decision ends Hernandez’s run of 10 consecutive opening day starts. Erik Bedard was the last starter before Hernandez to open a season on the mound for the Mariners. Hernandez was also asked if he could have convinced Servais to give him the opening day nod with a better spring camp. Opening day without Hernandez?
