KIRO Newsradio staffers offered varying thoughts about the bombshell move of the Seattle Mariners reportedly firing manager Soctt Servais.
A collision on NB I-5 just north of S 272nd St in Kent is blocking the right two lanes. Fire and State Patrol are on scene.Seattle Mariners Manager Scott Servais reacts during a game against the Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on June 14, 2024. An announcement from the team is expected Thursday, with former Mariners catcher Dan Wilson set to replace Servais as manager, The Atheltic reported.
“That said, somebody must be held accountable, and the obvious scapegoat is the manager. Despite their putrid offense, the Mariners are still five games back of the Houston Astros with 34 games left. They have a favorable schedule coming up, and perhaps a new voice could generate a spark and get them to the playoffs. They certainly have the starting pitching to keep them in the hunt, but the lifelong Mariner fan in me is not holding his breath.
Holden and Granillo both leave open the possibility this move involving the manager could spark the team for a playoff run to end the 2024 season. Robic pointed out Servais has had to deal with some bad luck as the Mariners did make some moves to bolster the roster before the trade deadline last month.
“The manager is always the first to get the axe when a season is not heading in the right direction, but I personally do not believe Scott Servais is the only person to blame,” Robic said. “With poor offensive output by this roster and some unfortunate late-inning home runs being given up by the bullpen, Servais played his cards the best he could but even that was not enough to keep his job.”
“My first thought was ‘Why?’ Why fire Scott Servais now? Why fire him when the Mariners made moves before the trade deadline and why when there’s still some hope to win the AL West?'” Duecy said to MyNorthwest. “Also, there’s no indication Servais lost the clubhouse. He’s a player’s manager, one of the guys, and not the kind of controversial manager who would rub players or management the wrong way. Then it hit me.
