The Mariners were an abysmal team on the bases last season. Whether it was Robinson Cano forgetting which players were on base or Logan Morrison forgetting how many outs there were, the lack of focus mistakes, wasted outs and missed opportunities were an issue for a team that underachieved.
Manager Scott Servais knows all about the past problems despite being in his first season with the team. He’s read the reports and heard the stories. On Monday, he will address the team’s baserunning as a whole and individually in his morning “chalk talk” session.
“We are going to talk about baserunning today,” Servais said.
