SEATTLE – Milton Bradley’s return as Seattle’s cleanup hitter lasted six innings and two strikeouts. Then, Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu removed the angry slugger from Tuesday night’s loss to Tampa Bay.
The self-proclaimed Kanye West of baseball wasn’t in the stadium immediately after Seattle’s fourth straight loss. Multiple Mariners say Bradley was furious for Wakamatsu taking him out of a 3-1 game following his second strikeout looking against James Shields, with the bases loaded in the sixth.
Wakamatsu would only say that “what went on with the two strikeouts, it was time we got him out of the ballgame.”
Bradley went 0 for 3 batting cleanup for the first since April 9, when he was in the middle of a 1-for-22 debut for his eighth team in 10 seasons.
