6/5: Open Game Thread

Roberts 2B Ichiro CF Payton LF Lopez 2B Markakis RF Guillen RF Tejada SS Ibanez LF Millar 1B Johjima C Huff DH Vidro DH Mora 3B Broussard 1B Hernandez C Betancourt SS Patterson CF Ballgame 3B ---------- ----------
Burres (3-2, 3.08) Baek (3-2, 4.93)
A couple things:
- I know absolutely nothing about Brian Burres, but he seems to walk a lot of people, meaning this could be a nightmare for our lineup.
- The Mariners have the fifth-best FIP in the American League, which makes them look pretty damn good when you match it with an offense on pace to score 846 runs. The only problem is...
- ...the defense, which THT has at -14 on grounders and -7 on fly balls. Third-worst in the AL, sixth-worst overall. Things'll get better when Betancourt stops trying to hyperextend Sexson's ligaments with errant throws, but still, this team has not been good in the field.
- If Safeco reduces runs by 7%, then this is a park-neutral 876-run offense over a full season. That's incredibly good, and 75-100 runs better than most people were projecting. It won't keep hitting .307 with RISP all year long, but then Richie Sexson won't keep being an unmitigated disaster, either, so that should balance out.
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

I'm pretty sure it's just balls in play
UZR has Sexson at -9 runs per 150 games (2003-2007). Do you think he's worth +9 runs saving bad throws? I don't. He's good at it, and his height gives him an advantage, but first basemen are supposed to be able to save the shortstop's bacon.

by Edgar for Pres on Jun 5, 2007 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I keep trying to get this point across
"first basemen are supposed to be able to save the shortstop's bacon."
I understand it's rec league, but occasionally they should be able to save a short-hopped throw, or one that's a little wide. It's the SS that's going deep in the hole and having to throw off balance, so help a brother out sometimes!

I made a throwing error from 1B the other day, and all my buddies were ragging on me for the error. It's ridiculous how much a sweet scoop or big stretch to "save the infielders bacon" gets overlooked. It's not that easy "I think I'm gods gift to athletics to I play SS in rec softball" guy.

I never said it was easy!
I am by no means "gods gift to rec league SS", and I'm well aware of that. That's why I wish my first baseman got more credit for the nice catches he makes for all of us infielders.
If you don't dive, it seems nobody notices a good play.
by Thingray on Jun 5, 2007 6:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
THANK YOU.
I only make fun of the SS because every time I play its the most cocky kid with no range or arm, who has to blame every mistake on everyone else.
I say nice play and all that to my fielders all the time and I get the look of "psh...that was easy"
Just my experience, I know most people arent like that.
Either way, I think 1B in softball is great to play...scoops feel so good when you dont fuck them up haha.
by PShwa on Jun 5, 2007 6:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
One thing I've noticed is that on wide throws, I
Seriously if you can't reach for the throw, get off the damn bag and catch the damn ball. It's much better for the guy to be safe at first because you were off the bag, then for the ball to go sailing past you and the runner heads to 2nd.
I've recently switched to right field to help out our OF defense because it's been horrible, so we had some tryouts for first base to see who was gonna take my place, and that's always the main problem.
by Goose on Jun 5, 2007 5:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not worried about the infield defense,
Ibanez is not a good LF (and we all know that) and Guillen has looked both impressive, and scary (seems inconsistent to me). I don't know a realistic solution to the OF problem, I sure don't want to bench either one of them to play Ellison every day.
by Thingray on Jun 5, 2007 4:19 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Well this isn't realistic
Adam Jones for Raul would upgrade the defense nicely. Would upgrade the offense, too.
And if you think that Raul's being left handed is worth something, I guess you could swap Big Ben and Richie, too.
