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?

by SethGrandpa on Apr 6, 2008 1:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

by Jordan of Boise on Apr 6, 2008 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by eponymous_coward on Apr 6, 2008 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by thenatural on Apr 6, 2008 1:43 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Well, that was depressing.

I'm still pretty calm because it's early in the season but holy smokes this team is absolutely terrible under adversity.

Angels lose two of their big time starters and they don't seem to be missing a beat.

We lose our top closer and the whole thing seems to fall out of wack. It's like we should've been 6-0 or 5-1 but due to our bullpen and Mac's inexperience luck ain't saving us this time.

I'm probably alone on this but I'm not worried at all. This team is better than this. We're losing the type of games we ended up stealing last year while laughing maniacally. Pythag is certainly being rude to us right now.

Last year's Mariners went 5-9 after a 6 game losing streak. Bounced back to .500 quite nicely.

This team shouldn't have much trouble recovering unless we're due for an unlucky year to make up for last year. I seriously can't get worked up about all this right now, especially when the SUPER MEGA POWERED DETROIT TIGERS are off to the same start as the 2004 Mariners (And per ESPN, only two teams in history who started 0-5 made the playoffs. Have fun kids).

So yea, the season is too damn early for me to get over worked. I'm ready to move on, but oh crap-on-a-stick did the end of this game cost me the rest of my sleep....*sigh*

Whatever, can't get much worse. Get well soon Putz.

by ThundaPC on Apr 6, 2008 1:48 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

McLaren's

strategy seems to be as follows. Blow the game not by using one pitcher but by continually bringing in new pitchers after the previous one gives up a single. This way no one hurler gets the blame. He effectively did this in New York last year in that third game in the September series as I remember. He has no trust in one so he micromanages himself into losses where each pitcher he throws out there takes a loss.

What the fuck, I don't see why Felix couldnt have stayed out there when he's cruising through with 10-15 pitch innings. at least leave him in to see if he can do it.

I just read what Baker put up there...

I should've done that before I even put up a response... but I think the important distinction between what Felix said and what Baker wrote is this part: He told them he wasn't feeling 100 percent and thought Eric O'Flaherty could better handle things with three lefties due up among the first four batters.

From his interview, Felix said he wasn't feeling 100%, but he said that Stottlemyre told him that EOF would be better against the lefties... This may be of no real matter, and I'm probably just not willing to give in that McLaren and Co aren't complete idiots, but I see a big problem here.

Just to be a contrarian dick . . . .

I have no problem pulling Felix in the 9th. He had arm trouble last year and I see no need in testing him during the 6th game of the year at Baltimore.

Maybe RRS would've been a better bullpen call, but Spuds and Lowe need to get three outs in this situation. I'm more disappointed in them than Squinty.

by Paytheline on Apr 6, 2008 2:37 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

If Felix isn't up to it, fine.

However, that doesn't get Mac off the hook. EOF shouldn't have been pitching today, period. Any other manager would have thrown RRS onto the mound if they were hellbent on getting the platoon split.

I just watched the 9th inning.

EOF and Lowe can be blamed, but for all the good Lopez has done this season, his glove botched this game. Although it was scored as a hit, Jay Payton's weak groundball went under non-hustling Lopez's glove.

Pathetic 9th inning.

by Wilder. on Apr 6, 2008 2:55 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tough play?

Routine groundball for every 2B except for roly-poly Lopez, even when shaded for a right-handed hitter. And why didn't Lopez slide? Because he non-chalantly went after the ball thinking he was going to glove it easily. The ball was hit a little bit harder than originally thought and it went right under his glove. Therefore, he wasn't hustling like he should have been.

by Wilder. on Apr 6, 2008 3:02 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I dunno man, I'm watching and re-watching it

I'm just not seeing what you're seeing, he did make a slide for it... and that's a long run for a hard hit ball, just like you said... I am not seeing any non-chalance.

I guess we'll just agree to disagree. Game should've already been over anyways, and it was a group effort, so I guess some of the blame goes to him.

Felix takes himself out

Well, not much you can do about this game then. It's not like using RRS guarantees us a victory.

And of course, Felix takes himself out because he wasn't up for it...he wasn't up for it because he only had one bullpen session....he had only one bullpen session because he pitched earlier than expected....he pitched earlier than expected because Bedard got scratched....

I'm actually okay with the fact that this team is starting off slow. It needs to overcome these issues if it expects to make the playoffs.

He just wasn't up for it.

He didn't want to cost his team the game and there were ideally better options than leaving Felix out there to gut out the 9th.

It's just one of those things that sucked. Felix moving up a day early did have some impact since he only had one bullpen session instead of two. Still, 9 times out of 10 we win that game based on Felix's performance.

So now that the GTE has subsided

I can partially forgive McLaren if Felix did say he wasn't feeling 100%. Still should have been RRS instead of EOF unless RRS wasn't feeling well either. But EOF and Lowe should be our two best, healthy bullpen arms right now, and the Orioles managed to score 3 runs off them. That just.......well that just sucks.

We're still only 6 games into the season. Do you think the Angels are enjoying being outscored 21 to 10 in their series vs. the Rangers? Losing sucks, but it happens.

RRS

In his only outing so far, he didn't do great either. 2H 1R no K in 0.1 IP. That may have influenced the choice of relievers.

Almost too bad we didn't crash on the way back, huh?

Missed the M's Lose

... Was covering the rubber match b/w UW and Arizona... Glad I missed the M's, I was getting updates and after hearing Felix got taken out after 8 innings of shutout ball I had a bad feeling.

But at least the Dawgs won... 5-1.. was a great game.

I wonder if Felix is covering for Squinty?

If he is... goodness McLaren should be fired.

No.

See last year. If Felix doesn't feel good, he'll take himself out.

I love him for that

Thats not what happened today..he said he wasn't 100%, which no pitcher is after 8 innings. I don't blame Mac for replacing him, but for how he went about it.

No defensive replacements (not that it mattered..but what if it did). RRS is MIA.

I fucking hate you Mariners

We're totally forgetting one thing about the pulling Felix...

The psychological impact.

"How happy was I? Extremely," said Aubrey Huff, who had an RBI during a three-run rally that provided Baltimore with a 3-2 victory Sunday. "Once he came out, I knew we had a chance."

Oh no.

Now McLaren will see this quote and immediately think if Washburn is through five (giving up 0 runs) but at 97 pitches, he should leave him in... O_O.

Damn you Huff
