Today's Games

There's a bevy of great games going on today and with the option for a five-day free trial of MLB.tv (warning: it's one of those sign up and you can cancel for free in the first five days sort of trials) you can certainly take advantage.

1600 PDT: Braves v Marlins
Reason to watch: Jorge Campillo is starting for the Braves.

1605 PDT: Phillies v Reds
Reason to watch: Griffey going for 600, Utley's homered in five straight games and Jay Bruce is awesome.

1605 PDT: Red Sox v Rays
Reason to watch: Duh.

1605 PDT: Yankees v Blue Jays
Reason to watch: Root for Joba Chamberlain to either fail because that would be awesome or succeed in the vain hope that the Mariners take notice and follow suit with Morrow.

1705 PDT: Brewers v Diamondbacks
Reason to watch: Randy Johnson is starting and is tied with Roger Clemens in career strikeouts.

1711 PDT: White Sox v Royals
Reason to watch: Fuck Josh Hamilton, Zach Greinke continues his feel gooder story.

1905 PDT: Athletics v Tigers
Reason to watch: Dontrelle Willis returns to the mound. He's thrown six innings, walked 11 and struck out nobody this year. The Mariners almost traded for him last summer.

1910 PDT: Mariners v Angels
Reason to watch: Erik Bedard? Jeremy Reed might get to start again. Witness Richie Sexson's miracle open stance!

1910 PDT: Dodgers v Rockies
Reason to watch: Rockies are currently between us and Steven Strasburg.

1915 PDT: Giants v Mets
Reason to watch: Pedro Martinez returns to the mound opposite Barry Zito who has walked or hit as many batters (32) as he's struck out (32). The Mariners tried to pay him $100 million dollars.

Cardinals v. Nationals

Odals Perez and Kyle Lohse. Witness a battle of pitchers Bavasi would never attempt to sign. Also: Pujols.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 1:01 PM PDT reply actions  

After 2001, I never thought Ichrio would become underrated as well.

But, yeah, the MSM thought more of Pujols when he was playing the OF and Jim Edmonds was clearly the better player.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 1:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

It seems the case that usually anyone who is very good for a long stretch of time

gets underrated in the middle of their career because people just get used to the performance level. They make up for it by being overrated at the tail end of their career when people forget to realize he’s now old.

I'm excited about our signing of Mike Hampton and Jason Schmidt come Dec' 09.

Along with Hank Blalock to replace Adrian Beltre at 3B and Adam LaRoche to be the new franchise 1B.

by Matthew on Jun 3, 2008 1:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, seriously,

Chan Ho Park has figured it out. Look at his ERA!
Why are you laughing? This move gives the M’s flexibility (bullpen or as a starter), and the man fits the park to a tee! Ooh, a pun!

by marc w on Jun 3, 2008 1:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

I will laugh

but I don’t think it’ll happen because all of the starting 5 are under contract.

Please talk about ice hockey for a while.

That game was nuts

I was totally expecting the Wings to just add an empty net goal and for them to win. That was the most exciting hockey game I’ve ever watched.

At least we don't have Zito's contract.

by ColeFitz on Jun 3, 2008 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

They won't outright release him

They’ll give him a shot to bounce back if Morrow is anything less than John Smoltz… and even then, you had to twist their fucking arm to put Piniero in the rotation (back when he was good).

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 1:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think Washburn could be traded

and I could also see Batista either getting bumped to the bullpen or going back to the NL. Which would free up a rotation spot, which would…

by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 3, 2008 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

Maybe to make room for CC, but if/when Garland's ERA goes in the shitter

I don’t see the M’s willing to upset their beloved veterans to make a slight upgrade. Plus, I have a hard time seeing them trading Washburn unless he is Jeff Fassero ‘99 bad, and Ed Wade is out of pitchers.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

Garland's ERA won't go in the shitter

He’s an Angel. Angels’ ERAs don’t go in the shitter.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 3, 2008 1:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

But to be fair, one got dumped on us after he turned into a turd, and the other was pitching with one hand tied behind his back.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 2:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

And the one we should have picked up

Is throwing a 123 ERA+ on his 1 year minor league contract for Boston.

I hate when other front offices are better than ours. Especially when their fans are so worthless.

Free Stephen Awesome Strasburg!

I want no part of Sabathia

I’m insanely in favor of trying to get Sheets on a contract similar to Schmidt. 3 years, high AAV.

by Matthew on Jun 3, 2008 1:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Of course the current administration probably won't go for this

and would go after CC and his Cy Young and history of durability and whooping our ass in the playoffs—which I why I mentioned it.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 2:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

because of everything.

His size, his workload, the contract he’ll get.

I’d rather have Sabathia for sure contract being equal, but they won’t and I’m terrified of long term commitments to pitchers and I just think it’s more likely you could nab Sheets on a shorter term deal.

by Matthew on Jun 3, 2008 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

Shouldn't it be Wlad in RF with the lefty on the mound for LAA?

Another:

Twins/Orioles: O’s spect Radhames Liz gets the call-up for this start versus Twins rookie Kevin Slowey. Slowey’s got the Radke thing going, meaning he’s ten times better than Silva and gets paid nothing. Liz is a strikeout pitcher with control problems, though not Cabrera-size control problems.

Tigers/A’s: Dontrelle Willis is back from injury. He’s got a winning smile, but is he any good at all at pitching? He’s signed for a few more years; this could get ugly. On the other end of things, Olympia’s Dana Eveland continues his surprising season – another freely available player putting up a great season contrasts so well with our rotatio….you know, I can’t be bothered to insult this team any more.

Be ready to fight for your five free days

Back when MLBTV had a three-day free trial I ended up paying for a full month of service even though I sent two request-for-cancellation emails and made a phone call to customer service within the three days. Over the next week I spent about 45 minutes trying to prove to them that I had tried to cancel the account, and then I realized that I was quickly reaching the point where getting my $14.95 back was no longer worth the effort.

Lots of people think MLBTV is pretty solid though, so I’m sure my situation wasn’t the norm or anything. It’s just a good idea to be hyper-vigilant about these free trial things.

by Manzanillos Cup on Jun 3, 2008 2:46 PM PDT reply actions  

I was really ignorant going into mlbtv, anyway

I live in Idaho and thought I would be able to watch M’s games on the internet – wrong. To watch the M’s I have to sign up for 119 extra channels of TV that I won’t watch for $40 a month.
I hope someday somebody decides that offering on-demand local sports programming is worth a try.

by Manzanillos Cup on Jun 3, 2008 3:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

That Jays-Yankees game is also a chance to watch Halladay pitch.

Halladay already has 5 complete games this season. He’s averaging 8 innings per start. His Ks are back. He’s a joy to watch.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

by Llewdor on Jun 3, 2008 3:10 PM PDT reply actions  

It's a below-average offense that's second in the AL in pitches/plate appearance.

They’ll make him work. He won’t see the fifth inning.

Rays up 1-0.

BoSox are playing Crisp in CF and Ellsbury in LF. I would have done it the other way around I think.

by Matthew on Jun 3, 2008 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

Again, the Jays are second in the AL in P/PA.

They’re a lousy team to have Joba face, especially with Halladay pitching.

I can't think of a reason not to throw Eckstien a strike

so I’m going to assume he leads all time in pitches fouled off.

Yikes

If I were a pitcher I would just throw him a meat pitch everytime

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jun 3, 2008 4:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

Of course I would theorize that Eckstein gives more runs away witht the glove

than he creates on offense. Sweet Jesus he is a horrible fielder.

The Jays need John McDonald back.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

by Llewdor on Jun 3, 2008 4:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

McDonald's one of the best fielders I've ever seen

and yet Eckstein’s 2008 is, according to THT, better than any season McDonald’s had in Toronto.

Can’t trust a player-specific metric, etc., small sample, etc.

But Eckstein simply can’t be terrible given the jays +/- and how well that correlates with his RZR.

by marc w on Jun 3, 2008 4:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

The fielding metrics disagree with you

I agree, he looks bad out there. But look at a four-year average in RZR… there’s no way he’s straight-up horrible.

by marc w on Jun 3, 2008 4:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

He can't throw

and I’m assuming he plays back even further because of the turf.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 4:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

And yet...

check out his fielding stats and then check out Yuni’s.

On second thought, don’t. I’m just mad now.

Can you make a gif to the effect of ‘pwned by Eckstein’?

by marc w on Jun 3, 2008 4:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

How was he last year?

Because to the naked eye he was the Raul of SS last year.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

His throwing has really regressed the last few years

which is probably why his errors are through the roof.

by JI on Jun 3, 2008 4:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Word

I can’t recall a fielder who has regressed as much as Eckstein over a 2-3 year period
