Ms fire assistant hitting coach
Re: Ms fire assistant hitting coach
That reminds me of another strange situation, involving Matt Sinatro.
If I recall correctly, he was on at first base, and got thrown out at second on a line drive base hit to right field!

He literally invented the homicide squeeze...DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2026 4:34 pmEric Byrnes can be the bunting instructor.
Amazing that there's no video of his infamous suicide squeeze "attempt" (except this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcoXTvXWyrA, they really should have the entire sequence posted).
For those who have forgotten, in 2010 against the Rangers the Mariners had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the 11th in a 0-0 game. The Mariners called for a suicide squeeze bunt, Ichiro broke for home, Byrnes squared around to bunt, and then...pulled the bat back on a pitch that was about six inches outside and Ichiro was hung out to dry. Ranger manager Ron Washington came out to argue that it should have been a strike because he couldn't believe that someone would actually do that and got tossed. Byrnes then struck out, the Mariners ended up losing 2-0 in 12 innings, and then immediately after the game Byrnes got on a bicycle and rode out into the rain. Two days later he was DFA'd.

Casey Kotchman got thrown out a home from 2nd base on a hit that Guti would have had an inside the park HR.

Knowing Jerry...
He probably see's eye to eye with Seitzer and instead of admitting a mistake, fires the guy who doesn't align with his view of hitting.
Then goes on some PR bullshit to save his ass.
