7/22: Open Game Thread

Boston @ Seattle


Lineup

Boston Red Sox @ Seattle Mariners

Boston Red Sox Seattle Mariners
Jacoby Ellsbury - LF Ichiro Suzuki - RF
Dustin Pedroia - 2B Jose Lopez - 2B
J.D. Drew - RF Raul Ibanez - "LF"
Manny Ramirez - DH Jose Vidro - "DH"
Mike Lowell - 3B Adrian Beltre - 3B
Kevin Youkilis - 1B Jeremy Reed - CF

W-LGGSCGSHOSVBSIPHRERHRBBKERAWHIP
2008 - R.A. Dickey 2-4 16 7 0 0 0 0 62.2 63 26 26 5 28 40 3.73 1.45

2008 - Daisuke Matsuzaka 10-1 16 16 0 0 0 0 88.1 65 29 26 5 57 77 2.65 1.38

 

After 48 starts in the big leagues, Matsuzaka's got a career tRA of 4.57 and an xFIP of 4.64. Solid investment, guys. Totally worth the frenzy.

Where does nabbing Dickey in the Rule 5 Draft rank on the list of best Mariner moves of the year? Of the last five years? I can't believe the same team that paid so very much for four of its starters was able to find a competent back-end solution for a Fahey fistful of pennies. If I didn't know better, I'd call it genius.

Bedard

I was just looking at Jones’ stat line. And Sherrill’s. It hurts so much.

Poor decision.

im just not interested.

It does not arouse the fires that are dormant in the inner most recesses of my soul.

Brad Penny owns a race horse named

Synnin and Grinnin

The poster formerly known as Matt.

Is it one horse names that or two?

Also, that’s fucking awesome. Those were the names of the goats that pulled Thor’s chariot.

whoops got that wrong.

Back to the Sturlasson for me.

It boggles the mind that Vidro is employed and hits 4th.

I knew you were sarcastic

Just saying that I would do it every atbat, not just when runners are on

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 22, 2008 6:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Bad idea.

Bill James did a simulation where he had Babe Ruth hitting normally in a terrible lineup, and Babe Ruth getting walked in ALL his PAs. The second lineup scored more runs, because the 1.000 OBP (and NO outs) tends to help you score runs.

This is sarcasm BTW

I still don't understand the Durham trade

What’s the point in the Brewers acquiring him if they’re not going to use him

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 22, 2008 6:51 PM PDT   0 recs

Weeks insurance.

Disagree.

There's no way he can maintain his average

and his power is gone

Did you see that bomb Weeks hit last night?

Worst case they’re equal, better case Weeks bounces back a little.

Hey, it's the Vidro / Jones debate!

Oh hey it's not

Jones was barely given time to prove himself. Weeks has had a lot more

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 22, 2008 7:04 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He hit fine the last two years.

Mike Cameron recorded 485 putouts in 2003.

I think he should if he's healthy

he draws mad walks.

Yeah.

Weeks is supposed to be one of their big franchise players, I don't think you should give up on a guy like that

unless his replacement represents a clear and obvious upgrade.

Al Chambers was supposed to be one of our

“big franchise players”. Look how that turned out.

by Coach Owens on Jul 22, 2008 7:15 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes he should

(but he should because fuck the Brewers)

by JI on Jul 22, 2008 7:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

See below.

His LD% was way down from his average and his FB% was way above average. Not to mention his nearly unsustainable .238 BABIP.

Richie could still hit bombs.

He sucks.

"Hole in one, eh?"

by Coach Owens on Jul 22, 2008 7:02 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Because his FB% is down and his LD% is way up.

That was horrible luck he had last season and he’s bouncing back.
