I can see it now.
If the offense doesn’t score enough runs to win, Wlad is going to get blamed.
Just about to ask that same question
why is a one-eyed cat happier than a two-eyed cat?
It's from the original lyrics to "Shake, Rattle and Roll"
And for the ‘50s, the lyrics are filthy
What're ya gonna do with those pies, boys?
Holy mother of God
I just got to see all the images in the game recap thread.
Well done, LL. Well done.
He was talking about Griffey and 600 homers.
He mentioned both Bonds and Sosa as members of the 600 club.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
Bud's secret police should remove him soon...
Kind of like the purges.
Sosa's nickname should be Corko.
...and now I'm here
Can we surrender this early in the game.
A 1-0 deficit is possible to come back from, but 2-0…. this team is in serious shit.
but... but...
Wlad is going to hit at least two homeruns tonight.

Wow, from pounding the strike zone to a 4 pitch walk
in one inning. Way to stay consistent, Washburn.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Come on Washburn, dig deep for inspiration
http://wovennickels.com/Images/YouShallNotPass2.jpg
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
At this rate Wash will be lucky to get 5 innings.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
What the fuck kind of bullshit??
At least Ichiro is still awesome
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Exactly.
Sliding into home is stupid. If you come in standing up, the catcher is going to hesitate and he is more likely to miss the ball, even if your intention is not pound him into the ground.
But on a bloop hit like that, Blake should have been halfway to homeplate by the time the ball landed.
Blake would've been safe if the throw weren't 100% perfect
which it was
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 30, 2008 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, but he should have been in the dugout before Ichiro even got a throw off.
Amazing arm by Ichiro, but slow ass baserunning on the part of Blake.
I won’t complain, though. I am happy things turned out the way they did.
never run on ICHIRO
its just not a good idea kids
Maybe as the trade deadline approaches...
The M’s can spin off Washburn to a pitching starved team whose GM suffers from Sabeanitis. It’s not like R.A. Dickey would do any worse, and at least he’d last longer.
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
Sabean did just send a veteran lefty to the pen.
He could use another one.
I would personally buy and hand deliver him a fruit basket
when I’m in SanFran if he took Wash off our hands.

Richie, you can't catch up to anything at your belt
just take those pitches and hope they get ruled high
Okay, having Wlad in the lineup is nice, but was anyone expecting to win this game anyway? It’s Jarrod Washburn vs. somehow-freakishly-good Cliff Lee.
Knowing that theres no way Lee continues to pitch as well as he is
I was holding onto some hope… but yesterday’s game made me forget about how awful our offense is
I wasn't expecting to win a game this series.
Then last night happened. But yeah, this game is over.
Wlad infield hit.
Can’t say I was expecting that.
Nice hustle Wlad
He’s swinging ahead of everything so far but he’ll adjust.
Someone say something witty.
I'd rather see him swinging ahead of pitches
than be Richie-late.
Well there's a difference between being slightly ahead and egregiously late
ala Sexson.
Someone say something witty.
I still have no idea why people think young players are huge ?s
but veterans are a sure thing. It makes no goddamn sense.
WLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
Incidentally how’s he looked in the field tonight?

Eric Wedge is giving Travis Hafner a mental break?
Maybe that’s F’nA’s problem. His mental break never ended.
Watching Washburn and Baek work together to go 6+ innings
is like watching a Wilkerson-Bloomquist platoon.
But seven in one game?
Then again, how do you explain the other six?
dave just said:
“swung on and a hiiiigghh.. swung on and missed i should say”
time to hang ‘em up.
The divine power(s) that be have decreed the Indians hitters must suffer (somewhat)
They seek judgment for the horrific Chief Wahoo characterization, and Jarrod Washburn is their blunt instrument.
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
Alright, he fielded that better than I thought
but he still sucks
ok why is wash still in?
oh right, because Mac has an IQ of 2
You only need 2.
And it’s possible he would have, but Wash didn’t give him a chance.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
I think I'll watch one more Wlad at bat, then I'm done with this game.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
Fucking hell Washburn
Go sit down in the fucking bullpen and never start again.
Yeah, I approve
a little more clever than “Hit the road, Jack”
Blowers: "Right now he needs to get a double-play ball"
Why does he HAVE to get a Double-Play ball? Why not a strike out and a ground out? Why not a pop-up and a fly-out? Why not 2 Ks?
hmmm
I thought Ichiro was gonna pull that one in
Fuck..and the Wizards beat the Cavs...fuck tonight in the face with a hammer

I just turned this game on....
FUCK YOU WASHBURN YOU FUCKING CUNT
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
We'd still lose if Washburn had only given up that solo HR in the first...so I dont blame him
Ok..I do…but this offense is built so poorly. And Vidro lost his job, but he can still bat 5th when he does play.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Like I said I just turned the game on
So Cliff Lee may be good (or our offense blows, or both) but my first instinct looking at this score is to say fuck Washburn.
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
That wasn't even a bad pitch.
Slider on the outside corner…
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
On the plus side, Wladimir's up from AAA.
So’s Clement, but WLAD’s starting.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Course, the way this game's going, Clement will probably be in before too long.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Yeah I saw that.
I like the single, dislike the double play.
Dislike the no-Clement sighting. He’s hitting a pinch-hit HR later
Go Nova
I really really hate half the Wizard players with a passion
And I thoroughly enjoy watching Lebron play.

Sorry I’m bored already.

These don't even look like terrible pitches
but I haven’t been paying too close attention.
Get Bowden on the phone...
Baek, Washburn and Cairo for Nick Johnson or Lastings Milledge. We’ll throw in Harold Reynolds too.
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
It'd be pretty cool.
If we can come back and tie this game….like they seem to do to us every blue moon.
I'd be happy if they just scored some runs off Lee.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
It'd take us three games to get to 8 runs...
Maybe 4

I cannot answer those. I deal with numbers only.
he's throwing more strikes

He changed something about his 2-seamer and its more of an out pitch now.

At least we don't have Zito's contract.
3-2 send Turbo!!
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
Huh
Is the development of Felix Hernandez a sign the M’s as an organization have finally turned the corner in harvesting home grown pitching or did he bludgeon through system incompetence on the strength of his talent? Because I can’t think of a recent solid Mariners starter who came up through the system. Sure, Pineiro and Meche had their uh…moments, but they’re both freaking head cases. And then there’s the long line of Andersons, Blackleys, Nageottes, Cloudes…etc.
It just seems like the M’s are grossly exceeding the defect rate for starting pitching and It’d be nice if Aumont made it to the bigs in one rationally thinking piece…

Wlad’s HW definately made up for lost study time.
At least we don't have Zito's contract.

Law School...Physics....
And I’ve got Nature/Structure of the English Language. Here’s to being trapped at 35k annually for an entire decade when I graduate! Woo!

bye everyone
i just joined today and had a good time here. thx guys.
Tell me, exactly, how pronouncing "Clement" is difficult.
...and now I'm here
when there's another, more famous ballplayer
who spells it the same way but pronounces it differently?
Different not Difficent

Don't know
this sure does come up pretty often for something meant to be so innocuous.

Don't watch the speed of the bat.
Watch the way the wrists react when the player realizes they are making contact. A ton of a players power comes from their wrist action.
Ernie Els says Hi.
Not that long looping swings are good for hitting a baseball, but Ernie Els generates a lot of power in his golf swing with a seemingly “lazy” motion. In golf they mention having effortless power instead of powerless effort – I.E. Griffey or Palmeiro

It was a scout with whom Dave spoke
and it was (is) a completely reasonable point.

That Clement was feeding on soft-tossing lefties who'd never make the show
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 30, 2008 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions
How does that make his bat speed slow?
I ask this out of complete ignorance
by Susheel Ramasahayam on Apr 30, 2008 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions
It would mean that his bat was slow enough that he could only punish soft-tossing lefties
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 30, 2008 7:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Was he not doing so well against hard throwers?
I would think that one would adjust his bat speed depending on who the pitcher is.
by Susheel Ramasahayam on Apr 30, 2008 7:17 PM PDT up reply actions
That was the theory
and you don’t adjust your bat speed. Your bat speed remains constant. If you have a quick bat, you can punish hard throwers and soft throwers. If you have a slow bat, you can only punish soft throwers (unless you correctly guess when a hard thrower is throwing a fastball).

isn't there an objective way to measure bat speed?
by Susheel Ramasahayam on Apr 30, 2008 7:20 PM PDT up reply actions
its all subjective then?
I just can’t wrap my head around someone who can hit a 92mph pitch 400 feet, having a slow bat. I guess its possible.
by Susheel Ramasahayam on Apr 30, 2008 7:27 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm not the resident physics major...
But a lot of distance on those swings is supplied by the fast ball as it introduces itself to the bat.
