Thanks, Ichiro, for giving us all insight into the Mariners' Wrinkled Fruit (and thanks to deadspin for the quote).
“If there is a problem, we need to notice what creates the problem. The problem usually isn’t just on the cover. You need to look much deeper. For example, if we’re talking about a tree and the tree has a problem, you need to look at the root. But you cannot see the root. The mistake is to keep watering the fruit. That’s not going to solve anything.”

Speculation over what Ichiro meant over at USS Mariner today:

It seems pretty clear to me that he's trying to criticize the way the team is being run without anyone in the organization losing face.
