Seattle Mariners Fans and Personalities React on "X" to Painful Loss on Wednesday

In this story:
The Seattle Mariners lost to the New York Yankees 2-1 on Wednesday night in 10 innings thanks to one of the worst/unluckiest baserunning plays in history.
With runners at first and third and nobody out in the 10th inning, Randy Arozarena struck out. In doing so, he lost his bat, which nearly hit Julio Rodriguez at third base. Once Rodriguez got away from the bat, he had a little fun with the moment and ran away from the base - only to get doubled off.
It showed a lack of situational awareness to some and was an understandable reaction to nearly being hit with a flying projectile to others.
You can be the judge as you watch the highlight below:

Per Nathan Bishop, formerly of "Lookout Landing:"
Ok I finally saw the replay and yeah that was………..just a really inexcusable baseball play. Totally get jumping out of the way of a bat. Had Wells gotten it over there quick enough to get him with just that it’s an all-time great move. But the casual jog away…just really bad.

Per Seattle Mariners on Tap:
Julio Rodriguez and Victor Robles. Back to back days.
Two of the dumbest base runner plays I’ve ever seen watching Mariners baseball.
This team is so unserious.
