7/29: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

First Pitch: 1:05pm PDT

                   

Stewart LF Ichiro CF Ellis 2B Vidro DH Swisher CF? Guillen RF Piazza DH Beltre King Awesome Cust RFoids Sexson 1B Scutaro 3B Ibanez Spasming Corpse Johnson 1B Johjima C Murphy SS Lopez 2B Suzuki C Ballgame SS ---------- ----------

DiNardo (5-6, 2.41)         Washburn (8-7, 4.05)

The A's possess the two lowest starting pitcher ERAs in the AL, are run by smart people, and have a 49-55 record to go with a +8 differential. The Mariners possess a lot of middling crap, are run by clown college dropouts, and have a 56-46 record to go with a +3 differential. I don't know if Oakland fans hate us, but they probably should.

Go Mariners.

He's OPSing .521 against lefties, 472 in July
So naturally he will knock in the go ahead run and remain our starting left fielder for the next month.

I was at the game yesterday
and the fan who ran on the field talked to Ich and Raul for a good time before security noticed him. Right before security got there the guy reached out to hug Raul and Raul hugged him back. I was hopin he was stabbing him in the back, sadly it was just a hug...

A's fans don't hate you
I've gotten a few emails from M's-hating A's fans, so I know they exist, but the A's fan community as a whole has a lot of love for M's fans.  The teams we hate are Angels, Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, and sometimes Twins.

The general attitude seems to be, "Oh, isn't that cute. The Mariners are actually winning this year.  Better them than the Angels."

There are frequent comments on AN about how nice M's fans are.  I think it made quite an impression last year that you lost so many games to us and stayed in good humor about it.

something that no one has ever mentioned
in regards to Turbo and his "weak" first half....

could there have been a little league adjustment going on there.  I mean he did come from the national league to the american for the first time in his career... so it took him a half a year to adjust to how they pitch in this league vs. the national league before he got comfortable and was able to drive the ball more often?

Just curious.

by MfaninAlaska on Jul 29, 2007 1:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

It might've played a part
but I don't think all that much. He's hit more line drives so far in the second half, which is good, but he's also been feeding off an unsustainably high BABIP for a few weeks.

(sorry for repeating my question down below...figured it might get buried by Adrian's heroics)

I could've sworn he was in the M's system at some point.  Oh well, shows what I know.  You say "worst kept secret," but seriously, how/when did you start hearing about this?  I mean this guy wasn't on anybody's radar until this season, right?

I'm just getting the feeling the media isn't telling me everything about this guy.  So help a bro out.

by esoteric on Jul 29, 2007 2:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

He's been on the radar for a while
among statheads who looked at his numbers in the minor leagues and waited for someone to give him a shot at DH.

I first heard about his juicing ~5 years ago, when I was coached by a former teammate of his (Josh Glassey). Since then I've heard the same thing from about four or five more people.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 29, 2007 2:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Thanks, Jeff
True or not, you have to admit the rumors aren't "extremely well known", since it's not even in the media buzz, like scores of other rumored 'roiders are.

Were the four or five more people who mentioned it recent or also ~5 years ago?

(And Josh Glassey, any relation to Conor?)

visiting A's fan (Shoreline resident)

by iglew on Jul 29, 2007 2:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

My mistake
I should've said that Cust's juicing is the worst-kept secret among people in the game. There's a reason that stat line of his never really got him a legitimate chance until now.

I didn't hear it from everybody ~5 years ago; the most recent time was a few months back. Cust's name came up in conversation and that was pretty much the first point that was raised.

And no, no relation. This Glassey was related to two other Glasseys who also coached my team.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 29, 2007 2:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well the A's have a venerable history of juicers
...so I guess Cust is just adding to a tradition that includes Canseco, McGuire, Giambi, and (sadly, likely) Tejada.

by esoteric on Jul 29, 2007 2:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

Not that that's necessarily a problem.
Every team has juicers. The A's just have better ones.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 29, 2007 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's the depressing thing...
My primary team is the Nats, but I've been following the M's in the AL since Los Dos Joses (Turbo and Angry Man) went over to you guys in the offseason. And when you develop an emotional attachment to a team (as I have with both), it really eats away at you to think one of "your guys" could be, well, cheating..

This might be a touchy subject, but what's the general feeling about the longstanding rumors that Beltre was juicing during his incredible contract year with the Dodgers?  (Hope I'm not opening a nasty can o'worms with this...)

by esoteric on Jul 29, 2007 2:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

Don't think Beltre's the type.
He's had that natural ability since the day he was drafted. Bret Boone, though, that was obvious.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 29, 2007 2:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sad but true
Which is why I cringe every time some fool journalists suggests the A's should sign Barry Bonds.

It's a sad part of our past, and the further back in the past it recedes the happier I am.  In the meantime, I don't want any new 'roiders.  I like Cust, but if he's still using, I want him gone.

Edumacate me, please?  Or at least point me to a link where I can learn for myself?

cust is a well-known steroid user, and hes on the A's, so he's automatically a turd sandwich

The only place I've ever seen
Cust associated with steroids is here on Lookout Landing.  I assumed it was just a joke.

If anyone can point to actual evidence, even circumstantial evidence, I'd like to see it.

My story is a bit odd for Lookout Landing.  I was born and raised in the District of Columbia - currently in Chicago for law school -  and am a die-hard Nats fan (yes, they exist...I never could get into the O's).  

But the M's have been my AL favorite ever since we sent Vidro and Guillen to y'all and Jeff changed the LL logo to the sinking ship.  I laid a bet with my buddy that the M's would be the big surprise of the year at the precise point when everyone else - you guys included! - was predicting that they would be disastrously bad.  I looked pretty dumb back in April when games were getting snowed out and Weaver was astronomically bad.  But I've listened to every single game, and become (comically) emotionally invested in the M's.
