The Seattle Mariners released Eric Byrnes on Sunday night, two days after a late-game gaffe and then bizarre exit from the clubhouse on a bicycle. On Friday night, Byrnes inexplicably pulled his bat back on a botched suicide squeeze in extra innings of a scoreless game. Ichiro Suzuki was tagged out on the play. Byrnes then froze at a fastball right down the middle for strike three. The outfielder bolted out the front door of the clubhouse riding his beach cruiser bicycle minutes after the game ended. To top it off, Byrnes, who was 3-for-32 (.094) in 15 games, struck out looking on three pitches with the bases loaded in the fourth inning of Sunday’s loss. The Associated Press
