Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

8/18: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Owens CF Ichiro CF Fields 3B Vidro DH Thome DH Guillen RF Dye RF Ibanez Reanimated Corpse Pierzynski C Beltre 3B Erstad 1B Sexson 1B Podzilla LF Johjima C Uribe SS Lopez 2B Richar 2B Betancourt SS ---------- ----------

Danks (6-10, 5.22)          Weaver (4-10, 5.64)

1. dank     

sticky, hairy, stinky, and highly potent marijuana.

'I took two hits of that dank and was nearly transcendent.'

This pitching matchup is appropriate.

(Thread opened early for extra scoreboard-watching goodness.)

Is that a win-win situation, or lose-lose? Go Tigers!! (for two of the three games)

Actually NVM, he's probably 1000x better than Ho, so I shouldn't make fun.

Cameron Maybin
Maybin got his first major league hit in the top of the third. Worth watching the game just to see his debut.

He sorta Jones'd a ball in the 2nd.
The similarities between his and AJ's story are crazy. Both very young, CFs who got moved to LF, etc. Maybin is like 3 years younger though...

kinda random and late
but Geoff Baker on KJR this morning about the bullpen said (paraphrased): "We don't know how a Green or Morrow is going to handle the pressure of a pennant race so they had to bring in a veteran like Parrish."

Not only is that argument stupid even if Parrish came from the Yankees, Parrish came from the Orioles who haven't been in a pennant race since '97. I don't see how Parrish has been able to experience that pressure.

If he wasn't left-handed
He'd have been a top 3 round pick as a hitter, and potentially a first rounder.  He hit .355/.470/.719 in his junior year at Tulane, and a few teams liked him better as a hitter than a pitcher.

In the minors, he hit .377/.381/.525.  No joke.  Kid can hit.

by andyboi on Aug 18, 2007 6:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

He still has alot of work to do as a pitcher.
This is the best start I have ever seen from him.

His problem is that until recently, he hasn't had much of a third pitch. But he's been working on a change that seems to be coming along nicely.

For so late in the game, that ump is still very loud with his strike calls.
The throw to the plate will be... LATE! The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship! I don't believe it, it just continues! My Oh My!

Ok JJ, quick, easy, dominant inning.

Top of the 9th: a mantra
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

On the plus side
at least Mac recognizes that AJ's a superior defender.

by Jeff Sullivan on Aug 18, 2007 9:37 PM PDT reply actions  

Yep. I am offically worried about JJ.

Because Ellison totally couldn't have done that.
Mr. Corpse certainly has great timing, I'll give him that.

by AFRanger on Aug 18, 2007 9:40 PM PDT reply actions  

You're telling me? This ump sucks.
And I rarely say that.

BUT WHO CARES?  GAME OVER!  WE WIN!  SUCK IT HAWK.

by esoteric on Aug 18, 2007 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

Said the same thing...
below.

GS has gotten many boos the past couple of nights.  JJ has even gotten them when he walks someone or gives up a hit.  GS said it is crazy how fast the fans change either way.

by ppl4life on Aug 18, 2007 9:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

Don't look at me
I'm so surprised when Sherrill or JJ allow baserunners that I'm not even capable of speech.

by Graham MacAree on Aug 18, 2007 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

The fans are experiening a legitimate pennant
race for the first time in 4 years. They know we can't afford any mistakes anywhere. So any mistakes that do happen, even from guys who are money, are not treated kindly.

by Goose on Aug 18, 2007 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

i would never boo either guy....
i would boo mcclaren for not using george as the legit set-up guy that he is.  Bring him in to pitch the entire eight inning or don't bring him in at all.
Hey, Lopez! I know you're in there Lopez! LOPEZ!

by Patrick517 on Aug 18, 2007 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

How did Reitsma prove himself capable
before he even threw a pitch yet George has dominated for two seasons and management won't use him that way.

Ummmmmm...
what the hell was that?

by bwolf4 on Aug 18, 2007 9:40 PM PDT reply actions  

The first pitch
to Pods was the same pitch that was ball 4.  That is very inconsitent, especially on two straight pitches.

by ppl4life on Aug 18, 2007 9:41 PM PDT reply actions  

Yep
Called it a ball for Weaver, too. Really stupid.

by Jeff Sullivan on Aug 18, 2007 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Neither of these two wins should've needed JJ
Not that it really matters, I guess.

by Goose on Aug 18, 2007 9:51 PM PDT reply actions  

Speaking of which
do you think the Yankees are as annoyed by us as we are by them?

by Jeff Sullivan on Aug 18, 2007 9:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

I just looked at the standings
for fun :-)  and I thought to myself that exact same thing..  We are their Reggie Willits.

by seattlesundevil on Aug 18, 2007 9:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

Absolutely
Especially since we have no right to be winning as much as we are.  Their payroll is like $200 mill.  We have a starting rotation that consists of 4 fifth starters who don't miss bats and a lineup of free-swingers.  If I were a Yankee fan, I would be beyond infuriated.

by bwolf4 on Aug 18, 2007 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

I would think so.
Pythag says the Yankees should be far and away the best team in baseball. We should be like 2 games over .500.

I wonder who's more annoyed though. The Yankees at us, or the Padres at the D-Backs?

These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

by Goose on Aug 18, 2007 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

Padres at the D'Backs.
Arizona has like the fourth-best run differential in the division.

by Jeff Sullivan on Aug 18, 2007 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

At one point it was worse than the Giants.
It's slowing getting better, especially since the offense has turned it on ever since Rick Schiezer was fired, but it's still -16. And they have a 5 game lead.
These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

by Goose on Aug 18, 2007 9:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

I hope so
Actually, I should ask my Yankee fan buddy in NYC.  I can't believe I didn't think to do so.

by Gomez on Aug 18, 2007 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

The Yankees fans I know
hate the M's this year. They don't understand how we keep winning with our "pathetic lineup".
Free Adam Jones

so do we officially have Good Weaver now?
Hey, Lopez! I know you're in there Lopez! LOPEZ!

Yes!
RED gets the final shot of the game.

by ThundaPC on Aug 18, 2007 9:54 PM PDT reply actions  

LOL, RED!
And seeing that again, that flyball probably would have been a double if Raul had not caught it.

We can pretty much put this one to bed

You can sign me up as a Jeff Weaver fan, that was another well pitched game, better than I'd expect from almost any other 4th starter out there.  Breaking ball, thy name is Weaver, and he doth use you very well.

by Notor on Aug 18, 2007 11:21 PM PDT reply actions  

Two games back!

We're just two games back of the Angels!  We finally won a game when one of our opponents lost! The Angels play the Yankees and Toronto after Boston!  We play Minnesota and Texas!  Things are looking up for our playoff chances right about now.
