What’s eating Ty France?

Attentive Mariner fans can’t help but notice that their All-Star first baseman is not exactly putting up an All-Star performance lately. Having Ty France come up in a scenario with runners on usually means Mariner fans are automatically penciling in runs on their scorecards, but lately there’s been a lot more of the last play of Sunday’s game: with a runner on second and Ty as the tying run at the plate, he rolled over a 92 MPH fastball in the middle of the plate from Austin Pruitt, grounding out sharply to end the game and hand the Mariners a series loss against the lowly A’s.
