If you were to scour my social media feed with regards to the Seattle Mariners, one of the words you would find most often is "accountability."

The fans think that this organization lacks it, almost across the board.

They think that Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander should be accountable to ownership, and should lose their jobs for the roster they've put together.

They think that manager Dan Wilson should be accountable to someone higher up because of how he's handled this team, and they think he should lose his job too.

And they think the players should be held accountable for any number of physical shortcomings or mental mistakes. On that front, a large portion of fans think that Randy Arozarena should have been benched when he appeared to loaf after a ball in Tampa Bay back in July. And they think that Julio Rodriguez should have been benched when he forgot how many outs there were in a historically bad 22-0 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers.

And there are plenty of other things that need benchings as well, according to fans.

Well, on the most recent 'Refuse to Lose Territory' podcast, I asked ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney about how teams go about getting "accountability," in the modern game, and if benching players for mistakes is really something that happens much these days.

"It doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to. I mean, the No. 1 rule for managers these days is that you don't show up a player. You protect your player.

I mean, just look at the Ketel Marte situation with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The guy doesn't show up for a game, right? This is after last year going AWOL from the team for a weekend, and then not apologizing for weeks for that afterward.

And yet, you saw Torey Lovullo really trying to thread a needle. On one hand, trying to speak honestly and openly. And I'm sure that he did that privately with some of his players, and there probably was a lot of anger, but also understanding that Ketel is a sensitive guy, and if you criticize him publicly, you might lose him. And this is a guy who's one of their three best players.

My question about Julio making those mistakes is, who on that team would go to him and say, 'hey, what are we doing here? You know, let's step up.'

I don't. I'm not—I don't cover the team on a daily basis, as you know. I'd be really curious to see if that player exists, because here's the thing. I bet through the years, I've had veteran players tell me that when you aren't going great for yourself individually, you are much less likely to go to a teammate and say, 'hey, you know, let's clean it up. Let's step it up.'

Is Cal Raleigh going to be predisposed to speak out loud and, you know, cajole teammates this year? My guess is probably not. Josh Naylor has not had a great year. Is he a guy who's going to be on someone? J.P. Crawford's been hurt a lot.

You go around the diamond, you know, who among the players, because, yeah, sure, a coaching staff, somebody could say something, but it just comes differently when it comes from a player.

So who's that player on the Mariners who has the credibility in the room and the stature in the room to go to another teammate and say, 'you need to clean it up?'

I think the Mariners have played so poorly this year and below expectation. That would be one of my questions if I were a beat writer. Who's that guy in that group?"

The Mariners are 66-76 with 20 games to play. They are seven games back in the American League West and their playoff odds are down to six percent.
