From an article on Mariners.com:
Bill Bloomquist: consummate failure.
With Adam Everett's injury ruining their team defense, the Astros officially don't have any strengths, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that retarded porch in left field is going to give Felix all kinds of trouble tonight. Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence are physically incapable of hitting on the road, but fortunately for them they don't have to worry about that today, now do they?
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

With that porch, we might even see a true Willie
And no, I'm not kidding. I could hit a homerun out of the crawford boxes.

this in one stadium
Richie should hit a few out this series
Ibanez will if he keeps up that oppo swing
Betancourt and Lopez will too
Ichiro seems to have deep fly ball power to LF these days, so maybe he'll get his first opposite field HR here.
Felix might hit one out if he makes contact.
seriously, its ridiculous that they get to play in this place, while the mariners have to play in a park where you need to hit a bomb to get HR, haha.

Relax.
Nobody here actually hates any of our players. The fact is, Willie does get too much attention. Vidro is fat. Vidro is slow. Vidro is a bad DH. Vidro is miscast as a contributing everyday player. Vidro is a problem in the lineup. There's nothing wrong with pointing this kind of stuff out, considering we're all still rooting for the guys to succeed.

Madritsch Facing Surgery
Results from an MRI indicate Goldeyes starter Bobby Madritsch will need surgery.
Madritsch dislocated his left shoulder last Sunday while pitching in St. Paul. He was examined and released that day from Regions Hospital in St. Paul and further examined this week in Winnipeg. He underwent an MRI that revealed he had torn his labrum....

Well, that's going to change next month.
The 35-year-old Burke, who is batting .421 (16-for-38) as Kenji Johjima's backup, spent part of his Wednesday with representatives from Upper Deck, the company that's producing the card, which will become available to the public in July.
"I'm excited about it, just because I grew up collecting baseball cards," Burke said. "I have a lot of 'em, including Mark McGwire's rookie card. Having my own is going to be pretty neat."

How about that the players had a team meeting to vote on whether they would accept Julio Mateo back? Isn't that vote supposed to be by his wife, and it has to be unanimous? I can just see Bavasi now "Hey guys, I have a chance to sign Barry Bonds and it won't cost us a cent more than we're paying now. I know he could really help the team win some games and all, but what do you guys think? 'Cause I won't do it unless you say it's ok."

But it's their blog, and they're doing their darndest to keep as big a lid on the crap as they can. We should all be thankful that they're as patient as they are, and don't go back to the old days of no-comments. There's still a fair bit of value in the comments, so I'd hate to see them gone all together. It's a tough balance to maintain, though...

(prospect/Future40 posts aside, of course)
It makes me a little sad though. On the other hand, these days if I really wanted to talk to Derek or Dave or Jeff I'd probably want to ask about bikes or cameras or Japan or something anyway, not baseball, so it's just as well.

It's that hard-headedness that still doesn't allow Willie to accept his role as a utility player.
"It eats me alive," Willie said.
Does it really bother him that much? I've always thought of Willie's desire to play full time as being being pretty normal. We all like promotions and we'd all like more recognition for the work we do. But if really eats him alive, and causes him that much grief, that's worrisome.

Yay Red the Elder!
And, no, King Obvious, the Red, Felix does NOT need to be more aggressive against this 'weak' offense. As has been shown time and time again, even weak, borderline MLBers can hit Felix's fastball...
And, no, Mr. Brillkreme Kreuger, Felix shouldn't necessarily cut down his repertoire to three pitches. He needs to change it, however, to focus on three pitches: curveball, 2-seamer, change. The 4-seamer is the last pitch he should throw...

Did anybody see Dave's notes
"I mentioned that Dan Fox was doing some really cool work with the advanced gameday data from MLB.com, and that he was going to have some great stuff about Felix shortly. The article I was referring to was published at BP yesterday. If you're a subscriber, it's required reading. If you're not, here's the basic summary - everything we've said in the Charting Felix series is demonstrably true, and Felix's velocity and movement is significantly down from his opening day start against the A's. The pitches just aren't breaking like they did in his first start, and he's not throwing as hard. It's something to be concerned about, honestly."

Dave on USSM:
The four seam fastball is 94-96. He's topped out at 97 once, but the velocity is clearly down. The two-seamer is 91-94. The slider is 88-90 and has no bite to it. He can't get the change-up down in the zone, and he's thrown that mysterious meatball pitch that Sledge hammered last game a couple of times.
The stuff is still way better than an average pitcher, but it's not as good as we're used to seeing Felix's stuff be. And he's not getting anything extra on his stuff when he needs to, so I'm not buying the coasting argument tonight. He got Luke Scott 0-2 and couldn't put him away.
If he's pitching through pain and hurts his arm, we're screwed. And this version of Felix isn't that great anyways."

Hmmmmm
I was just thinking if we could look at the Boston tape, and then see how his breaking balls and FB compare now.
I'm just not seeing the movement.
I'm starting to wonder if there might be a nerve problem in his hand.
