It has been a rough couple of weeks for the Mariner
When the Seattle Mariners came back
from the all-star break on July 19,2013, the second half of their
started on a tragic note. Their manager Eric Wedge was hospitalized
with dizzy spells brought on by unknown cause. The club was expecting
it to only be a day or two while he recovered in the hospital.
With hopes running high for a quick
return of their manager the Mariners kept their winning ways going
under the fill-in manager Robby Thompson, usually the bench coach.
After a few days of test it was revealed that the dizziness was the
result of a mild stroke that Mr. Wedge had during the all-star break.
The news devastated the ball-club and that started showing on the
field.
After Mr. Wedge was released from the
hospital he was order to stay at home and rest. This meant that he
wouldn't be going on the East Coast road trip with the team. The
teams morale was running low at the news and it showed on the field
with erratic play. The Mariners playing and a few bad calls lead to a
4 game losing streak before the team rallied to win the final 2 games
on the road trip.
The team arrived back in Seattle on
the 5th of this month to the news that Mr. Wedge was still
on bed rest and wouldn't be joining the team on the home stand. The
team woes continued as errors, lack of hitting, bad pitching and a
few bad calls equaled losing the first 2 games against Toronto. A
visit from Mr. Wedge did give the team a much need boost and they
were able to eke out a win in the final game of the series against
the Blue Jays.
Today, the team has the day off before
the Brewers come into town for a 3 game series. Mr. Wedge will remain
on home rest for the rest of this home stand and probably the 9-game
road trip that will take the Mainers to Florida, Texas and
California.
In the time of Eric Wedge's absence the Seattle Mariners have won 7 out 15.
