As a Mariners fan I remember Lou Piniella going out to the mound to tell a pitcher he was hurt. I can't remember who it was, but the pitcher looked confused and frustrated as Lou took the ball from him. Lou did not have anyone in the bullpen, and I guess he did not like what he was seeing on the mound, so he decided to tell the pitcher he was injured to give the relief pitcher some extra pitches to warm up.
