Are we in that bad of shape if we win today?
I don't think we are.  If we win and Texas wins, we are 4.5 out of first, 2 out of second and 1.5 out of third.  If we win and LAAAAAAA wins, we are 2.5 out of second and 1 out of third.

Not to mention we are playing a three game series against Tampa Bay, which is a great oppurtunity to gain some ground with Texas playing Oakland.  Then we go into a crucial stretch with four against TEX, 3 against OAK, then four against LAA.

So if we stick it out and win today, we still have a great shot at this thing.

Big If...

Totally agree
It is a big "IF"..but if we do win, we are far from out of this thing.

Also if we are going to win 1 games of this series-game 3 is the one to win.  Maybe it would give the team some confidence.

Man, that's embarassing.

Does anywhere provide splits of vs. fat pitchers/vs. non-fat pitchers?  From memory, Colon always seems to do well against us so maybe girth is a factor.

by Alex B on Aug 6, 2006 1:12 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

because the fat pitchers
have a gravitational pull towards them that makes the pitches do weird things

So, I wonder
is it the players or the team we can't beat?

Would they lose if you put the same roster on the Royals? Conversely, would they lose if you put the Royals roster on Oakland?

Its all Marco Scutaro
You knew it was a omen when Crosby was injured coming into the series.  Marco Scutaro is a god to the Mariners.

Im starting to think...
that its mental, you cant lose 12 games in a row to a team without it being mental.

Just like the Rams/Sehawks in 05..Seattle was the better team, but the Rams owned us.

Not saying we are better than Oakland, but the point is the same.

mindset = = important
One's mindset has an incredible amount to do with actual tandem, results.  For example, one study showed people who wrote an essay on "what it would take to become a professor" before playing Trivial Pursuit scored significantly higher than the group who wrote an essay on something not so intellectual.    I have no idea what the M's state of mind would be though, if the Kansas City "Athletics" came to town, though.  Potentially interesting study, though!

The players
They're the ones taking pitches, working the count.  The pitchers are the ones throwing strikes and forcing the issue at two strikes.

Morrow or Tillman?
That sounds like it could be the line of either. Down in Peoria, they only pitch guys 1 or 2 innings. They must have 50 pitchers down there that they are trying to work with.

As of a couple days ago, Jeff Harris is not one of them. Het pitched last night for Tacoma. Came in after B-Liv gave up back-to-back HRs in the 7th. Jeff got 2 backwards Ks sandwiched around a weak grounder to 2B.
