    Not right now, but he'll be gone after the last game. I'm not a fan, but I know this season's been a major disappointment-heading into the season they certainly looked like an AL favorite, great lineup and pitching, and one of the most complete teams in the game. However, lots of guys are underachieving. King Felix certainly hasn't been himself, while his record is okay (14-7), his ERA is 3.65, and that certainly isn't ace status. Also I know the offense has been slacking, and Cano's been having a down year (.267 BA with 12 homers). However, like Felix, he could very well just be having a down year and could be an All-Star again next season. Lastly, the bullpen isn't great and I know McClendon has a tendency to leave guys in for too long (Fernando Rodney, etc.). Personally I think McClendon should go, and I think this team should not blow up the roster and have a rebuild, but rather reload a bit, meaning they don't have a huge fire sale, but trade a few key pieces and fix a few holes so they can follow up on their 2014 performance last year and be a contender. That would be the smart thing to do, considering this team is in a weird situation-coming off just missing the playoffs last year and now being 54-63 this year. However, like I said with Felix and Cano, I think a lot of guys are just underachieving and having down seasons

    A manager isn't going to be fired because of a single game, or even two really bad games in a row.

    Besides, the Mariners were 7-3 in the ten games before these two disasters.

    Yeh, he's a terrible pitcher - gives up too many runs and his fielding isn't too good.
