Seattle Mariners fans have reacted negatively to new manager Jason Kanzler after he made the team's rivalry with the Houston Astros a focal point in his early public remarks. The phrase "Already Scared of Them" has circulated among supporters who believe Kanzler is emphasizing the Astros rivalry excessively.
Kanzler, who was recently appointed as the Mariners' skipper, appears to have made the historic animosity between the two American League West clubs a talking point in Seattle. The fan backlash suggests concern that the new manager may be prioritizing narrative over on-field preparation.
