“Absolutely Inexcusable”;”Should Be DFA’d” – MLB Fans Slam Julio Rodriguez After ‘Unacceptable’ Error In Mariners’ 22-0 Loss To Brewers

Seattle Mariners' center fielder Julio Rodriguez made a careless defensive error during the team's 22-0 shutout loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the series opener on Tuesday night. With the score at 19-0 and one out in the eighth inning, Milwaukee's Christian Yelich hit a high fly ball to center field. Rodriguez, instead of catching the ball, threw it into the stands, mistaking it for the final out of the inning.

This oversight allowed Milwaukee to score nine runs in the inning, ultimately sealing a historic win for the Brewers. Fans were quick to criticize Rodriguez for his mistake, with many slamming him for misreading the play and calling for him to be dealt from the Mariners. Rodriguez finished the game 0-for-4, while Milwaukee enjoyed an offensive barrage, with multiple players scoring two or more RBIs.

Despite this setback, Rodriguez is having a subpar season at the plate, with a .256 batting average, 19 home runs, and 52 RBIs in 115 games. The Mariners are currently 59-67, sitting third in the American League West standings. The division is incredibly tight, with the Seattle team just four games behind the divisional leaders, the Houston Astros. The second game of the series is scheduled for Wednesday.
