Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners, Jun 1, 2008 1:10 PM PDT


Lineup

Detroit Tigers @ Seattle Mariners

06/01/08 1:10 PM PDT

Detroit Tigers Seattle Mariners
Curtis Granderson - CF Ichiro Suzuki - CF
Placido Polanco - 2B Jose Lopez - 2B
Carlos Guillen - LF Jose Vidro - "DH"
Magglio Ordonez - RF Raul Ibanez - "LF"
Miguel Cabrera - 1B Adrian Beltre - 3B
Jeff Larish - DH Kenji Johjima - C
Edgar Renteria - SS Jeremy Reed - RF
Ivan Rodriguez - C Miguel Cairo - 1B
Brandon Inge - 3B Yuniesky Betancourt - SS
W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Miguel Batista 3-6 12 11 0 0 1 0 55.2 70 40 37 5 34 37 5.98 1.87

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Jeremy Bonderman 3-4 11 11 0 0 0 0 64.1 63 36 31 8 36 39 4.34 1.54


Between 2003 and 2007, Bonderman was a textbook example of a huge idiot, routinely running ERAs higher than his solid peripherals because he just didn't understand certain parts of his job. Now he actually sucks and yet he's posting the second-best ERA of his career. The lesson here is that people don't make their own luck. Luck does whatever the hell it wants to whomever the hell it wants, and none of us humans have a say. Get used to it. It can be both a wonderful gift and a wonderful excuse.

You know who could use some good luck? Miguel Batista. Because Miguel Batista is bad.

Carlos Guillen is starting in LF?

Wow, he may actually have less range than Raul. Pull the goddamn ball!

Rays tied

Sonnanstine not that good

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jun 1, 2008 12:29 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes he is.

Do not get confused by hits and runs allowed.

Also, Jay Bruce is pretty good.

by Matthew on Jun 1, 2008 12:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I meant just for this start

3 Ks in 5.2 innings and it looks like a bunch of the hits he gave up were line drives

It was just a question

In a not yet-lively Game thread, I wanted to know who else here likes Morrissey because I’m listening to a really really good song by him.

Cairo at 1B again

This is getting excruciating.

by Alex B on Jun 1, 2008 12:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

McLaren's decision boils down to...

A tall guy who strikes out a lot, is a stump at first base, and gets booed…

A short guy who can run but can’t put the ball in play…

Or WFB. It’s not easy being squinty.

Jason Ellison, your Seattle Mariners legacy will not be forgotten.

Again, I don't mind Cairo.

I think he does take a little more heat than he deserves. I explained myself yesterday I think.

It was all this great lo-fi music

I mean, the typical indie film score. But it was really really nice.

If you listen to Daniel Johnston at all, it was something like a little higher quality stuff by him.

Most Indie music is the same as modern pop/rock crap.

The same old chord progressions, the same tired lyrics, the same used themes.

Only difference is the mainstream musicians make money off that crap.

Family guy was at it’s peak in Season 3. Season 4 was pretty good, but Season 5 marked a serious decline in the quality.

Rizz was doing his pedo segment, and he asks the kid what he thinks of Carlos Silva.

Who thinks Jeremy Reed might yet turn into a contributing outfielder? He’s hit everywhere else he’s been, and he looks like he has a clue again—much different than he looked at the end of ‘06. (That last strikeout notwithstanding.)

My last post for today

You probably don’t want to hear about it and stuff, but I’ll just explain myself. The two nights before last night were really rough for me guys. I got about 2 hours of sleep per. Big big things I had to do for school, and stuff for my band and stuff. I was really running on empty.

Last night/this morning I slept in for the first time in about two weeks, so I have way more energy now than I have in a long time. So that’s why I’m posting so much. Not quite hyper, just a bit jittery, and I really needed some guys to talk to. Because I really like being here.

I totally understand now that I’m way annoying. So I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you guys later when I’m a little bit more chill.

Really, I’m sorry guys. It won’t happen again.

love, butthol.

Looks like Maclaren is growing up

He’s finally benched Sexson long-term. Now Cairo isn’t much of an improvement, but still at least he’s taking the right course of action with a failing veteran.

by vkut79 on Jun 1, 2008 2:33 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Replaced by a veteran who's an even bigger failure.

I’m having a hard time finding a silver lining here.

by Teej on Jun 1, 2008 2:34 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

A bigger failure than Sexson?

Perhaps, I don’t know much about Cairo. And I don’t want to. But what I’m saying is that Maclaren finally manned up to take a struggling veteran off the field, hurt his feelings, for the sake of the team.

by vkut79 on Jun 1, 2008 2:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, a bigger failure than Sexson.

Sexson at least has the ability to hit the ball out of the infield.

Small-sample-size theater:

2008:

Sexson: .200/.277/.413
Cairo: .204/.273/.245

Even when Richie sucks ass, he’s better than Cairo.

by Teej on Jun 1, 2008 2:40 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not defending Cairo completely, because he blows goats

but his + defense probably makes up for a fair bit of the total lack of power

(with the exception of bunt plays, at least)

by Teej on Jun 1, 2008 2:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's decent

Probably a lot better than Sexson at first, but I doubt it makes up for how awful he is at the plate.

by OlSalty on Jun 1, 2008 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I have no idea either.

I think I remember DMZ mentioning something about him being bad, but I think that was in comparison to Bloomquist and his versatility, but I can’t find it. I guess at 1B, it would be hard to be worse than Sexy.

So yeah, your point is taken. I just don’t think it’s anywhere close enough to make up for his bat.

Well, I'm not going to side with either at this moment

but Pujols is making 8.5M more than Utley this year, so that’s 2 wins of value. Plus 1B vs 2B is another win. So Albie would have to be 3 wins better than Chase to be as valuable for 2008.

by Matthew on Jun 1, 2008 3:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't really buy Utley as being this good

but his contract is a fucking steal. He’s one of the 2-3 most valuable players in baseball.

by JI on Jun 1, 2008 3:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Utley makes about half what he makes, and is signed for three more years than Pujols.

Not that Pujols’ contract is bad, but Utley’s is a steal.

Though he is probably at his peak.

Utley. But Berkman is slugging about 1 billion.
