Former Major League Pitcher Goes Viral For Criticizing Seattle Mariners Outfielder

Former Oakland Athletics pitcher, current Athletics broadcaster and podcast host Dallas Braden was evidently not a fan of how current Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena handled himself last week in a series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Arozarena, who was traded from the Rays to the Mariners, evidently spent some time in the Rays clubhouse when the two teams played each other at T-Mobile Park. Braden was not a fan of it and made his thoughts known on the popular “Baseball is Dead” podcast which is hosted by himself and Jared Carrabis.

You can hear the clip below, but be warned that there is some language that is not suitable for all viewers:

It’s very clear that Braden is mad at Arozarena for fraternizing with the Rays, but it’s unclear why. Is he mad from the Mariners perspective that Arozarena is living in the past when he should be living in the present with his new team? Or, is he upset from the Rays perspective that Arozarena is infiltrating the clubhouse when he doesn’t play there anymore?

The Mariners took two of three in that series against the Rays with Arozarena hitting two home runs along the way. He’s under team control for two more seasons with the Mariners, though there are already questions about if the M’s will spin him off this offseason in an effort to save money.

The Mariners will be back in action against the A’s on Monday afternoon. We’ll see if Braden says anything about Arozarena on the A”s broadcast. First pitch is 4:07 p.m. PT.

NEW PODCAST IS OUT: The latest episode of the “Refuse to Lose” podcast is out as Brady Farkas talks about the criticism that Jerry Dipoto has received in Scott Servais’s firing, the M’s early success under Dan Wilson and the comments made by Ryan Divish recently on the “Marine Layer” podcast. Furthermore, Danny O’Neil, who wrote a tough column calling for Dipoto to be fired joins the show. CLICK HERE:

St. Louis Blues 5, Seattle Kraken 1: Box score

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
