Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 19, 2008 6:05 PM PDT


Lineup

Seattle Mariners @ Los Angeles Angels

04/19/08 6:05 PM PDT

Los Angeles Angels Seattle Mariners
Chone Figgins - 3B Ichiro Suzuki - CF
Gary Matthews - CF Jose Lopez - 2B
Vladimir Guerrero - RF Raul Ibanez - "LF"
Torii Hunter - DH Adrian Beltre - 3B
Juan Rivera - LF Greg Norton - DH
Robb Quinlan - 1B Richie Sexson - 1B
Jeff Mathis - C Brad Wilkerson - RF
Sean Rodriguez - 2B Jamie Burke -C
Erick Aybar - SS Yuniesky Betancourt - SS

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Jarrod Washburn 1-2 3 3 0 0 0 0 18.0 18 7 7 3 2 12 3.50 1.11

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Ervin Santana 2-0 3 3 0 0 0 0 19.0 17 7 7 1 6 14 3.32 1.21

 In a league where the majority of pitchers are throwing with slightly lower velocities than they were a year ago (including Washburn, who's down 1.3mph from 2007 and 2.4mph from 2006), Ervin Santana's gained 1.5mph in getting back to where he was as a promising pitcher in '05/'06. The result has been an uptick in swinging strikes, and while it's far too early to declare that someone coming off as bad a season as Santana is back on track, this has to be considered an encouraging development for the Angels, who'll need their other starters to pick up the slack once they realize that Jon Garland is worthless.

As for Washburn, his average fastball velocity is about the same as that of our resident knuckleballer. I...somehow this is only year three of his contract. I can hardly remember what life before Washburn even felt like. I've been told it was worse, but I find this hard to believe.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

only 2 walks all season for Washburn?

I guess Baltimore, TB and KC aren’t the most patient teams the league, but still nice to see.

Bradtastic!!

He's faced an uncharacteristic amount of lefties

GA not in the lineup

the ANA lineup above is wrong.

It’s Figgins – GMJ – Vlad – Hunter – RIvera- – Quinlan – Mathis – Rodriguez – Aybar

by Matthew on Apr 19, 2008 5:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yea, If it helps you feel better.

I feel the drop is due to natural regression of Washburn that comes with age. Also, I wonder how much drug testing is affecting the pitchers.

by Susheel Ramasahayam on Apr 19, 2008 3:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I mean the overall drop

I don’t think drug testing has much of an effect right now… unless like over 50% of pitchers were on steroid and suddenly stopped.

all came out well

and Bedard threw 31 pitches, no problems will be re-evaluated tomorrow and probably throw another bullpen in a couple days… likely to miss one more start.

Damn. I know this isn’t new information or anything, but this bench is not deep. We barely get into our reserves and it’s Willie Bloomquist, Jeff Clement, and Greg Norton. Anybody else dreaming about the arrival of any/all of the Balentien/Clement/Reed/Lahair AAA guys?

Acquiring Griffey sounds awesome, but where would he play? His defense is atrocious now (Yes, even in RF) and keeping Ibanez in the outfield doesn’t sound like constructive idea.

Maybe we can trade Wash for Cameron. Wash lives in ‘sconsin. Come on Brewers, you need pitching!

I know he's been pitching well so far this year

but I hope that his performance against the M’s wasn’t the catalyst. Our offense simply blows.

I'm sure he won't keep pitching like this

But I’m impressed enough by his velocity and command to see how he does. He really does look good.

McLaren knows better then to stick with Wash after 100 pitches.
