Baseball betting fans are rarely placing bets on the Seattle Mariners. They have lost 16 games out of their last 20 games, are in last place and have a record of 37 wins and 60 losses, that’s puts them 23 games under .500 and now they are fighting amongst themselves. That certainly is not good news for those that follow Seattle in MLB betting.

Yes, Friday night in the middle of a game Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu and benched second baseman Chone Figgins were having some heated words which then turned to a scuffle. In Seattle’s dugout there were Mariners everywhere trying to separate these two; one even took his shirt off.

Figgins spent the last few innings of the game in the clubhouse, but before that he was steaming mad and blowing smoke from his ears. If looks could kill he would have used his eyes to shoot lasers and disintegrate Wakamatsu. Russell Branyan who is the team veteran went back to the clubhouse to talk and calm down team mate Figgins.

Wakamatsu said that Figgins will not be suspended for the insubordination. Figgins had left the stadium before any reporters were allowed in the clubhouse.

”With the way we’ve been playing, it’d be hard to convince any fan to come out and watch us play. Because it hasn’t been pretty,” Branyan said. ”But on the other hand, we’re working hard. Guys are trying too hard.”

Figgins has really had a bad year so far and made a terrible mistake of letting a throw bounce just a few feet away from him and did not even chase after it letting a base runner reaching second make it to third.  After this play, in the top of the fifth inning Wakamatsu benched Figgins.

This is something that many baseball betting fans think that he should have done months ago.

”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.

”What people have to understand is, everybody in that dugout cares. And tempers fly a little bit,” Wakamatsu said, without detailing what happened. ”What happens in there stays in there.” Now there is something you don’t hear everyday in baseball betting

MLB betting fans are hoping that this might spark a change in Seattle and light that fire that baseball betting fans want to see.
