6/8: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Ichiro CF Giles 2B Lopez 2B Sledge LF Guillen RF Gonzalez 1B Ibanez LF Bard C Sexson 1B Cammy CF Johjima C Branyan 3B Beltre 3B Greene SS Betancourt SS Bocachica! RF Batista P Germano P ---------- ----------

Beluga Tits (6-4, 5.43)     Germano (4-0, 1.74)

In 62 innings this year spent between the real minors (PCL) and the glorified minors (NL), Germano has fanned 30 batters, walked just five, allowed three homers, and induced groundballs on 57% of balls in play. The only thing keeping him from being the pitching version of Yuniesky Betancourt is that the pitching version of Yuniesky Betancourt would lead the league in balls inadvertently thrown into the dugout.

I'll be in attendance, which means the M's will lose, because nothing good ever happens to me in the world of sports, and you guys are boned for choosing the same team to root for. Accept it now, because the only thing worse than living the life of the damned is not knowing that you live the life of the damned.

uh, LET'S GO MARINERS!!

would you want to see him hit three homers against the M's? I love Griffey and can't wait to see him back, but I don't want him hurting the M's chances of winning.

by Coach Owens on Jun 8, 2007 7:53 PM PDT reply actions  

Batista's pretty good Coach.
It's not like he's Horacio or Weaver.  On a good team, he's a perfectly acceptable #4 starter, and on a bad team, he's a passable #3.

Also, Bunting the runner over does not help your team a lot, but I see where you're going with this, since it is the pitcher and all.  But you're more likely to score with a runner on first and no outs than a runner on second and one out.

by BrettJMiller on Jun 8, 2007 7:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

in general, but yeah,
the pitcher makes it a special circumstance in terms of the probability.  because you're more likely to score with a runner on second and one out than a runner on first and one out :)

by Deanna on Jun 8, 2007 7:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, exactly.
That's why I made mention of the pitcher.  I was referring more to Coach's general statement about bunting helping, just in case he wasn't just talking about it being a situation with the pitcher.  But yeah, I agree with ya.

At the least the best hitter, despite his "disapointing" start of only hitting around .298/.390/.520 or so.  Plus he can play third or left in a pinch.
