2-4
Hello good sir, have you considered us me for your ninth inning endeavors? Of course not, because you're a huge fucking asswagon.

Especally since the unearned run came on a E by Felix...
By the way how does that not count as an ER? Shouldn't pitcher E's still count for ER?

I don't care about defense though.
I care about Felix's pitching.

It's stupid, but
I think the reasoning is that an unearned run is one that the offense doesn't earn, not one that a pitcher doesn't immediately allow. I have thought about that before though, and it does make more sense that a pitcher's error should be an earned run.

Gah!
15IP, 0 earned runs and nothing to show for it.
You know, games like this would be so much easier if we had a great left handed setu.... (aaaaaargh!)

Baltimore's a pretty good team
so you have to expect them to come up big in the ninth inning.
Tampa Bay?? Now, they're better than the Orioles. May be tough for the Mariners in TB.

Oh, I was simply considering 0-7 for the road trip
A trend will continue until something causes it to change.
Something about these last few games could presage a final, 0-7 record for this trip.

I want to become a Nationals fan. At least then I can expect a loss rather than being amazed when my team finds new and creative ways to FUCK IT ALL UP BEYOND BELIEF.

Not to disagree with you
But the Mariners players are the ones that failed on the field, not the manager. The manager just helped them fail a little bit. Its not ALL Maclaren's fault here.

Fair point
McLaren didn't make Lowe throw the wild pitch. But I'm not as good at rage as some of the rest of you and can only focus it on one person at a time.

pinch-runner Jones scores
against his old team, to tie it up.
Let's see...Bedard can't pitch against his ex-team, but Jones scores the tying run against his ex-team.
Pretty good symmetry!

True symmetry
would be Jones getting the winning run and giving Sherrill a W. Too bad George was so wiped out from his last two saves against us.

No
It's all McLaren's fault. 100% of it.
No sane individual takes Felix out in a relatively dominant shutout performance with 97 pitches thrown in a close game to go to a questionable 'pen. He deserves to be fired for this and this alone.
If I'm that bad at my job, I'm not lasting a week. He has NO excuses.

It's not just that he took Felix out
It's that we know he would have let Washburn go back out there. It is purely infuriating and I totally agree that this alone should be sufficient justification for handing him his pink slip.

If it's ANY consolation
Perlozzo did the same thing with the O's on Mother's Day last year. He was gone within 2 months.

The amazing, new and improved, going-for-it-all-this-year, 2008 Mariners just got swept by the WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. NOT AN EXXAGERATION.

Let's restate this.
We've played Baltimore and Texas for a week... and scored 23 runs, less than 4 a game.

on the bright side
I thought that was the best Felix start since his first Boston start last year. He was effectively mixing his pitches and doing stuff like getting first pitch curveball strikes. It was amazing.

I went to the game yesterday at Camden
and thought about going tomorrow since I could do it by only skipping one class. But now that it's not Felix day and the way things are heading we could get swept by Luis Hernandez and his merry band of incompetents...I don't think I could handle it.

Don't tell us what happened in the game, you sagging piece of fail
Tell us why you made the moronic decision to not put Felix out there. The matchups? Fuck those. How about the fact that Felix has been cruising the entire game?
Jesus.

Anyway
I think the most egregious error was not going to RRS in the 9th if he was going to pull Felix in favour of a leftie. Seriously? EOF after two days of pitching?
by Graham on Apr 6, 2008 1:25 PM PDT 0 recs
But EOF has more
experience than RRS. Therefore, he's obviously the logical choice![/Johnny Mac]

If it were a month or two later, I would have been rolling.
But I didn't see an ounce of humor today. I envision Felix carrying this team and at least keeping it competitive, so it's infuriating to see him dominate and do everything we could possibly ask of him so early in the season, only to have his manager fuck it all up.

It's that I wouldn't love to see Wlad come up
But he's safer in Tacoma, safe from Johnny Mac's clusterfuck baserunning strategrey. Seriously, a hit and run with Wilkerson and Vidro? This is Mariners Baseball, not Celebrity Fit Club.

Let's put it this way.
The less ABs given to over-the-hill veterans or Morse, the less likely Johnny Mac is to "manufacture" runs. 3 run homers are great for that.

No no no
Aggressive baserunning puts pressure on the pitchers!
We could have nine Zombie Babe Ruths in the lineup and Johnny Mac would be dicking around with hit and runs. This is because he has a good sense of the "fundamentals." The fundamentals specifically state that your middle-order men should get thrown out by eight feet at least twice a game.
