The team has decent enough pitching, but their offense would be 33rd in the Majors if such an option were available...
The Seattle Mariners had to deal with the Ken Griffey, Junior retirement earlier this year. Now, they have players signed to large contracts going after managers...
In the dugout...
Here's the play that caused manager Don Wakamatsu's consternation, and then video from the dugout, that is until it gets pulled...
((HT: FSNW/MLB/MLB Advanced Media/joannesiano))
Last night's loss was the Mariners' 16 in their last 20 games...
"I didn't think there was much effort in that backup, and I made the decision to take him out of the ballgame," Wakamatsu said.
Wakamatsu said Figgins wouldn't be fined for insubordination.
Now, if he could only fine him for hitting .229 in the first year of a $36-million deal, right...???
