4/8: Open Game Thread

Tiny by Jeff on in Regular News Comment 313 comments

First Pitch: 6:05pm PDT

                   

Kotsay CF Ichiro RF Scutaro 2B Lopez 2B Crosby SS Ibanez LF Chavez 3B Sexson 1B Thomas DH Beltre 3B Bradley RF Everett DH Payton LF Johjima C Kendall C Ballgame CF Johnson 1B Betancourt SS ---------- ----------

Zito (0-1, 47.25??)         Moyer (0-0, 4.05)

Welcome to Dan Wilson Night. Ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 5:15, which leads one to wonder just how they could possibly fill a 50-minute block of time with highlights from Wilson's baseball career. Expect a 37-minute speech from his wife talking about how great Dan is at home and with the kids, a six-minute speech from Dan himself thanking everyone ("especially the city of Seattle") for all they did for him, and another five minutes of Dan crying as he steps down from the podium.

If you enjoyed last night's offense, I have good news for you:

It won't be a quick one day in the lineup and then out for Willie Bloomquist. The utility specialist started at second base Friday. Today Jose Lopez is scheduled to return to second, but Bloomquist will get a second consecutive start, this one probably in center field.

On the plus side, at least this time Hargrove's remarkable lack of imagination will result in Willie batting eighth instead of second. Apparently the solution to figuring out which of Petagine and Borchard deserves to stay after Lawton comes back is to play neither and hope that one of them rapidly contracts some terrifying communicable illness worthy of a stint on the 60-day DL. You have to admire that kind of outside-the-box roster management.

Today's game: predict which Mariner has the best day at the plate, and spell out his line score. I'll take Ichiro to go 3-5 with three singles and a stolen base.

LET'S GO MARINERS!

seriously
how dumb is starting Willie in the OF when you need to make a decision on Borchard? Unless, in typical Ms fashion, they had already decided what they were doing when Lawtom returns and it makes no difference what the players did.

and....
Rich Aurillia hits another home run in the 4 spot. God I love the beginning of the season.

I'd really love a win today so we can stay at least chop the series.

Doesn't surprise me
that Boom boom is getting a second start.... does surprise me that it may be in CF... I was thinking it would be to give Betancourt a day off.  With Borchard playing for Reed.... that at least would put Willie in the 9 spot in the lineup.

by MfaninAlaska on Apr 8, 2006 10:51 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah.
If Willie had to play, that's what I would've done. Moyer's a flyball pitcher anyway, so Betancourt's D won't be as handy tonight as it would be other days.

by Jeff on Apr 8, 2006 11:06 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It wouldn't surprise me
with Beltre getting hit in the hand yesterday by the ball on the DP, that Wee Willie goes to third to rest Beltre's hand another day... since there isn't anyone else that can play third.

Willie hit so well last night
that he deserves another night in the line up. Give me a f-ing break. Not that anyone hit anything with authority at all, but come on. Willie doesn't need hustle, he has Hargrove. I gave Hargrove the benefit of the doubt last year considering he had virtually no tools to choose from. Four games in and I cant stand him. Good times, Good times.

Has it been confirmed that Beltre will be playing? Is it not possible that we will see Willie at 3rd instead? Just throwing that out there.

Nah
they're keeping Reed out of the lineup against LHP. Why Willie instead is where the semblence of logic breaks down.

Isn't it fitting...
...that the M's lose a ballgame with Willie Bloomquist in the starting lineup. Doesn't that happen, like, a lot? I recall someone mentioning on USSM the M's record with Bloomquist in the starting lineup. I can't find it, but I recall it being baaaaaad. Maybe those of you going to Deanna's book club meeting tonight can coerce her to start the meeting by ceremoneously burning the Willie Bloomquist Training Ball she got last night.

You know...
There's an argument that Dan Wilson's one of the 100 best C's to play the game.

Seriously, go look up the guys Bill James has in his Historical Baseball Abstract in positions 80-100. They aren't really more impressive than Dan.

by eponymous coward on Apr 8, 2006 1:05 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't doubt it
Catcher is a tough position to excel in, due to its requirements (calling a game, setting the defense and monitoring baserunners, throwing them out when necessary, as well as being involved with every single pitch AND batting like every other fielder).

I'd easily put Dan in the Top 100.  Top 50, I dunno: there may be enough great names at the top to bump him, but definitely Top 100.

by Gomez on Apr 8, 2006 1:15 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Re: You know...
For one example...

#100: Earl Smith. Adjusted EqA: .271

Dan Wilson. Adjusted EqA: .246

Granted, Dan played more, he was probably a better defensive catcher, and their careers were so far apart that trying to compare the two is almost futile, but that's a big gap in productivity at the plate.

I just tuned into the White Sox/Royals tilt in time to see Jim Thome hit a game-tying double. Quote Hawk Harrelson and Darrin Jackson:

massive
I'm getting the vibe that they're waiting for all the guys from the '95 run to retire, and then their numbers will all be retired at one gigantic ceremony.  6, 11, 19, 24, 51, and so forth.  Add 50 since Moyer came after the run.  Depending on how integral you think he was to post-1995 success, there could be an Alex Rodriguez discussion, though I kinda doubt it, especially if Lincoln is still running the team when this happens.  

...I forgot number 1 for Greg Briley.

I win either way...
Who cares if Bloomquist is starting in center.  Who cares if Carl Everett continues to start over a player who would get on base 25% more than he would.  Who cares if the bullpen would rather walk marginal hitters with no power.  If the M's win a game...hooray.  If they lose...we're one step closer to the end of Bill Bavasi's run as GM.

With my luck, the M's would fire Bavasi and high Marge Schott's great grandson.  Nepotism runs wild!

by Geeves72 on Apr 8, 2006 1:54 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bavasi is not bad
He has issues. Yes. Certainly the Everett signing. But the real problem is Hargrove.

by phil333 on Apr 8, 2006 3:51 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bavasi is not bad?
Are you being serious?  He has been horrible.  The beltre signing was a horrible mistake...the offensive version of the Chan Ho Park deal.  Carl Everett is no better than 20 free agent veteran minor leaguers who would have cost us a lot less than he is making.  Not trading Guardado while he actually still had value?

Don't tell me he hasn't done a bad job.  I agree Hargrove has also been well below average, but Bavasi has his part in this mess.

Fire them both.  Make me the Manager and GM.  I guarantee we'd win more games.

Re: Bavasi is not bad?
Point #1) Pretty much every Mariners fan on the planet - everyone here included - was a fan of the Beltre contract at the time. In hindsight, it's beginning to look like a total bust, but I don't think it's fair to blame Bavasi for something tons of people agreed with at the time.

Point #2) While you're right about Everett's performance, that wasn't the main reason he was brought in. Bavasi and Hargrove love him for his attitude, and while we may not agree with them, attacking Everett's productivity at the plate isn't addressing the big issue.

Point #3) Bavasi had a Guardado trade lined up last July, but it wound up getting nixed by the GM on the other side.

For Julio Mateo's career, he's issued 54 unintentional walks over 1040 batters (5.19%).

Last night, he issued four unintentional walks over 12 batters.

The odds of a guy who walks 5.19% of the batters he faces walking four or more over 12 are 0.26%.

I think
Dan Wilson thanked me at one point for buying tickets.  I'm not sure.

I actually skipped most of Dan's speech to watch Jamie warm up.  He was grunting through some of those warm-up pitches.  Not encouraging.  Zito looked so casual it was like he was mowing the lawn.

For the second straight night, our offense was an abortion.  "What offense?" you ask?  Exactly.
