Brian Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 A source tells Mike Salk of 710 ESPN in Seattle that Milton Bradley left the team in the middle of Tuesday's game against the Rays. Bradley was frustrated after striking out looking with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning. He yelled at the umpire from the bench until Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu warned him to settle down. Just minutes later Bradley reportedly told Wakamatsu, "I'm packing my stuff. I'm out of here." Mariners General Manager Jack Zduriencik didn't address the matter specifically on Wednesday, other than to say something that happens between the manager and his players should be handled internally. We're guessing that Wakamatsu might not have to worry about Bradley much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious... do typical major league contracts have some sort of clause in them, where if the player fails to be present for "work", they don't have to be paid?

MurcieOne Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Per ESPN.com According to the report, manager Don Wakamatsu instructed Bradley to stop yelling at the umpire from the bench after the called third strike. Bradley responded that someone had to say something and that if Wakamatsu wouldn't, then he would. Moments later, Bradley told Wakamatsu, "I'm packing my stuff. I'm out of here." And he left. The Mariners insist that Wakamatsu lifted Bradley from the game. So, it's not clear if Bradley was benched first and then left the team, or if he just jetted after having words with his manager. Either way, the team's hope that the volatile Bradley could be massaged through the season by the likes of clubhouse veterans Mike Sweeney and Ken Griffey seems to have backfired. The Seattle Times has a slightly different version of the story, but it all amounts to the same thing. Little different account of what happened with Bradley... I wonder who is at fault for his bad behavior / bad performance this time. I'm guessing that Wakamatsu, Griffey, and the umpire are all secret members of the KKK and are conspiring against him.

SoxAce Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) If you can't be tolerable when you have Ken Griffey Jr. (especially) and Sweeney in your clubhouse, then you really are nuts.

Can't even defend the guy. I hope Griffey calls it quits after this year. Nothing sadder then when a former great player sticks around 2-3 years longer than he should because he can't accept the fact he's done. Watching Griffey hit makes my eyes hurt. Watching him run? Yikes. Edited May 5, 2010 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Cleveland has now had 5 consecutive games where 10 or more Indians batters have struck out. First time that has happened in their history. Ouch. That has to be frustrating to watch as a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
