Fernando Rodney is gone. We put very little effort into our goodbye, because bad meta-commentary is what 2015 Fernando Rodney deserves.
(Ed's note) This post was written August 5th during the Mariners 7-5 extra inning loss to the Colorado Rockies. The Mariners were on their way to winning their 4th straight, and five out of six. It was going to be their strongest stretch of the season and finally, maybe, lead the team towards a run.
It didn't happen. It didn't happen because Fernando Rodney, perhaps more than any other single player, completely collapsed.
