Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

7/14: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

ROSTER NOTE: Woods up, Feierabend excommunicated

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Granderson CF Ichiro CF Polanco 2B Vidro DH Sheffield DH Ibanez LF Ordonez RF Guillen RF Guillen SS Sexson 1B Rodriguez C Beltre 3B Casey 1B Johjima C Thames LF Betancourt SS Inge 3B Lopez 2B ---------- ----------

Rogers (3-0, 1.04)          Beluga Tits (8-7, 4.54)

Takashi Saito has blown his last two save opportunities, which should pretty much erase any doubt about JJ being the best closer in baseball. In other news, even Yankee Stadium has an East Coast bias. The only way to even the score is for Safeco to get some New Yorker hit with a foul ball. I, for one, won't stand for this kind of disrespect.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Re: Yankee stadium
I can't believe the guy who fell, or his more sober friends, didn't even check to see if the guy was ok.  For all the talk about "class", those Yank fans sure didn't exhibit any.

by jtopps on Jul 14, 2007 4:09 PM PDT reply actions  

Class?
I'm not sure about you, but this falls exactly in line with the reputation of New Yorkers.

by 88fingerslukee on Jul 14, 2007 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, i know
but everyone loves to say how the Yanks have class.

Best part of that article is how the victim's wife alludes that maybe it wasn't an accident:

"It's very steep up there, but if it was an innocent trip, they would ask if Paul was OK."

by jtopps on Jul 14, 2007 4:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

They all have class
because they are all in still school and have never graduated...

zing!

ok that was lame.

Hey, I think I saw those people before.
I was at the first Reds game with my brother and we were sitting in Center Field and one row across there was what looked like a family sitting there. One lady was wearing a shirt that said they were going on a trip to see a whole bunch of different games on the East Coast, I bet the ages were about right too.

Ball washing of Ryan Franklin
on the Cards/Phils game. Didn't catch who was announcing, but they were incredulously wondering how Seattle never gave him a chance to pitch regularly and prove himself.

I guess 30+ starts in 3 straight seasons isn't enough.

By the way
when you think about it, it's pretty funny that a lot of us were upset with a game that JJ didn't even blow.

is there a place/way
to see how a player hits based on where they are in the lineup? I have this sense that Jose Lopez hits a lot better when they give him a chance higher in the batting order.

by mary on Jul 14, 2007 7:07 PM PDT reply actions  

ok, found something
looks like Lopez has hit for a .768 OPS when he hits second, .732 when he hits 7th, .591 when he hits 8th, and .683 when he hits 9th.

I don't really know enough about stats to say if this is significant or not, but it seems to confirm my theory somewhat.

That Beltre play on Thursday was all a complete cluster fuck by Bruce.  I was at the game nearly behind home plate and it was hilarious to watch the big guy lumber around and try and figure out what was happening.

I hate Rick Reed.
According to Gameday he called at least two pitches that were clearly in the strike zone balls. Those ABs both would have been strikeouts if he called them strikes and both those ABs either scored a run or got somebody on who would later score.

What is the rule on going into the stands?
If you can just dive into the stands, what is to keep you from climbing into the stands, walking up six steps and catching the ball?

Is the rule that as long as your feet last touch the ground in fair territory, then you are allowed to catch it?

Seems dangerous - especially to the father holding an infant.

Of course, taking an infant to the front row of a baseball game seems unnecessarily risky to me, also...

no, i'm pretty sure there's some provision

Rally Fries
A while back, someone hit a foul ball to the right side.  A fan tried to get the ball rolling up the line.  In the process, he spilled his fries on the field ruining his meal.

Blowers felt sorry for the fan and paid for some fries out of his own pocketbook.  An attendant delivered the fries to the fan and the rest was history.

Well, actually, the next game someone actually had a sign saying "Blower, give me some fries"....THEN the rest was history.

that's impressive
since Green gave up the first run all on his own

by Matthew on Jul 14, 2007 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why isn't GS52 coming in?
Isn't Casey up next?

That's a little perplexing

I don't know which casino commercial I hate more
The FUN FUN FUN IT'S DA NUMBER ONE PLACE FOR FUN Tulalip commercial, or the retarded Emerald Queen commercial with the four eyed redhead.

Well
I guess it's better to burn one shutdown reliever than two.

by Gomez on Jul 14, 2007 9:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Sean Casey - way overmatched
This game is so ours

by TheMarinator on Jul 14, 2007 9:34 PM PDT reply actions  

That's right Casey, don't even bother with a
full swing.
These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

Yeah
Putz literally scares me. I'd be scared if I saw him on the street. He looks like he eats small dogs and cats.
Willie is ours, and you can't have him

And washes them down with Aquafina
before hurling the bottle at panhandlers with such force that it breaks their arthritic kneecaps.

by Gomez on Jul 14, 2007 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

LOL!
I'm serious though. He looks upset. Not in an immature way, in a deep evil, Darth Vader kind of way. He's definitely my favorite player.
Willie is ours, and you can't have him

by spittle8 on Jul 14, 2007 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

I see Putz
is still angry about the way Leyland blew him off in the AS game.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

by TheOptimist on Jul 14, 2007 9:35 PM PDT reply actions  

Angry?
Nah...this is standard.  It's Leyland that's crying inside.

by ThundaPC on Jul 14, 2007 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

I dunno
Putz just seems to have this weird 'I will KILL YOU ALL' look in his eye he didn't have before the break.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

ESPN's comments make me sick
especially the ones from a lot of M's fans even.

I would be pretty pissed off too if my team blew an easy world series last year.

by hcoguy on Jul 14, 2007 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

funny thing
I'm just mad about those 3 runs continuing to fuck up our run differential.

by hcoguy on Jul 14, 2007 9:36 PM PDT reply actions  

a K? by Kenji?
man, wanted to go all game w/o a k.

by Matthew on Jul 14, 2007 9:40 PM PDT reply actions  

Good idea, guys
Let's hurry up and give this to J.J. I need to go make some dinner.

by JLC on Jul 14, 2007 9:40 PM PDT reply actions  

With the save today
JJ would break Eddie's consecutive saves record with 28 straight.

Finish the job, JJ.

by Gomez on Jul 14, 2007 9:42 PM PDT reply actions  

JJ
Like toying with small defenseless insects.
Willie is ours, and you can't have him

by spittle8 on Jul 14, 2007 9:43 PM PDT reply actions  

Richie nearly hurting himself
and inadvertently improving our lineup.

Glad he's okay, tho.

nasty

ohhhh damn
shoulda pulled an Inge, on Inge

by thenatural on Jul 14, 2007 9:44 PM PDT reply actions  

Granderson looks frightened
Willie is ours, and you can't have him

by spittle8 on Jul 14, 2007 9:47 PM PDT reply actions  

Filthy.
Uh oh, Granderson is an extremely talented hitter. That means Putz might have to try with this one.

by JLC on Jul 14, 2007 9:47 PM PDT reply actions  

I really do think
he took the All-Star game personally.  Whatever it was, he looked extra filthy tonight.

KKK
I fucking love the JJ Putz era. Suck it K-Rod

by Matthew on Jul 14, 2007 9:48 PM PDT reply actions  

Not that Putz hasn't been better this year, but
you DO realize Franky's still got more K's on the season, right?
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

by TheOptimist on Jul 14, 2007 9:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

and almost twice as many hits allowed
and 2.5 times as many walks.
one less HR though, kudos on that.

did you have a point?

OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAME OVER
Words cannot describe how awesome J.J. is. I'll watch the games if only to see him dominate people.
Willie is ours, and you can't have him

by spittle8 on Jul 14, 2007 9:49 PM PDT reply actions  

Damn
He blew three talented hitters right the fuck away.

Best closer in baseball.

by Gomez on Jul 14, 2007 9:49 PM PDT reply actions  

goddamn
I love this guy.

by mary on Jul 14, 2007 9:49 PM PDT reply actions

Putz4CyYoung&MVP
Best. Reliever. Ever.

Man.  With him, it's an 7 2/3 inning game.  

Fry ME, Blow!!!

by PositivePaul on Jul 14, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

So......
Weaver v Verlander?

I love that its actually a pretty good matchup now

GO M'S, I love this team

by thenatural on Jul 14, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

Another greatly satisfying win
It's been long since we've had this kind of fun with our M's!

by TheMarinator on Jul 14, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

I wanted at least a split out of this series.
So I'm happy with the result so far. A win tomorrow would be just gravy.

Gained a game on the Indians!

These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

by Goose on Jul 14, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

Weaver's
Beat Verlander before.

And got a ring for it.

I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

by ralphie81 on Jul 14, 2007 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

M's just gotta make sure
they hit lots of groundballs to the pitcher. >_>
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

by TheOptimist on Jul 14, 2007 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah but
he had David Eckstein behind him. Hell hath no fury like the grittiness that is Mr. Scrappy

by hcoguy on Jul 14, 2007 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Eckstein
I hate that guy.
I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

by ralphie81 on Jul 14, 2007 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't care if we lose
I'll take a split against a great team any day.

by Susheel Ramasahayam on Jul 14, 2007 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Great, fun game
these M's are HOT!

by gblady on Jul 14, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

PUTZ WOOO!
Man, is there a more terrifying reliever for batters out there?
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

by JAH on Jul 14, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

On this day many years ago
Junior won the All Star MVP award by going 3 for 3 with a HR.

Hey, that sounds familiar.

by Gomez on Jul 14, 2007 9:55 PM PDT reply actions  

got at least the split
now time to get greedy

by sactown257 on Jul 14, 2007 9:56 PM PDT reply actions  

greed is good
when it comes to M's wins
