PrintSeattle Mariners at New York Yankees, May 24, 2008 10:05 AM PDT
Both of these teams are starting participants in the 2008 Ball In Play Olympics. One of these teams has a good defense.
Last time Silva pitched in New York, he allowed eight runs and 11 hits in three innings. Fortunately the only thing the Yankees have done between now and then is swap out Morgan Ensberg for Alex Rodriguez.

MLB.com: "Joba experiment continues"
“Joba Chamberlain will throw approximately 45 pitches against the Mariners on Saturday, and he will enter the game at a point to be determined. It’s all subject to change based upon the score of the game, and upon how well starter Mike Mussina is pitching.”
Other teams are treating us like extended spring training now.
It’s only a matter of time before we start seeing headlines like, “Pitcher X to make rehab start against Seattle Mariners.”

So I've been up for 26 hours and counting
I wonder much of this game I get through before the Ms put me to sleep. Silva’s either going to bore me to sleep or my comments are going to start losing any semblance of lucidity I have left.

so Ludwick went 3/4 with another HR yesterday.
I wonder what’s it like to have good players and/or average players flip out like mad.
No because we hate him.
Also that’s shitty flipping out to average.
Please be in RF, or please be a joke?
Hell, I hope he’s actually out there.

How do they know that already?
So the Mariners won't be bringing in Jim Zorn.
Well, that’s a relief.

Yeah, Mike
The Yanks are real nervous right now.
Just woke up
Why the HELL is Jeremy Reed at 1B? Rather than LF?
Why the fuck doesn’t McLaren put Sexson in CF while he’s at it. It’s the exact same difference.

Joe's tracer is, I believe, built off of Pitch F/X
It just has no idea where the actual strike zone is.
No, that's Joe
and he applies the strike zone at random.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 24, 2008 10:28 AM PDT up reply actions
so that was a long arduous inning in which we make Moose throw 25 pitches and score no runs
watch the Yanks score a run within the first 10 pitches.

Hey Michael Kay shutup
Don’t criticize Ichiro.
Yes
Saying he hot dogs it too much as compared to Matsui who is more humble and focused on the fundamentals.
Neither
It means to “meet expectations” and not to “show-off”

Oh, how right you are.
When Rauuullll is in left forget Wee Willie Keeler's advice to hit 'em where they ain't
Reminds me of a game between the Twins and As when Canseco was with Oakland. The Twins were taking every opportunity they could to hit the ball to right field – with great success.

Mel: You okay?
Silva: Yeaman.
Mel: Think you can give up some more runs.
Silva: Yea, just have’em hit it to LF.
Mel: Good man.
I agree with Bavasi
That it’s the players fault and not Mac’s fault. But sometimes you need to shake things up.
jesus christ
more about clubhouse chemistry?
THEY LOSE BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD!! IT HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH PLAY DATES
But, but, but ..
isn’t that why the team sign/trade for those veteran players with character and grit? Didn’t they sign those guys because they would know how to respond to losing streaks and difficult times? Help train the young players how to play the game the right way? Do the little things to win games?

Bavasi said McLaren has done his job and that there’s only so much any manager can do in a clubhouse where nobody is being held accountable for their play.
There’s only so much any general manager can do on a team with bad players.
