Minnesota Twins at Seattle Mariners, Aug 6, 2008 1:40 PM PDT


Lineup

Minnesota Twins @ Seattle Mariners

08/06/08 1:40 PM PDT

Minnesota Twins Seattle Mariners
Denard Span - RF Ichiro Suzuki - RF
Nick Punto - 2B Jeremy Reed - DH
Mike Redmond - C Raul Ibanez - "LF"
Justin Morneau - 1B Adrian Beltre - 3B
Jason Kubel - LF Jose Lopez - 2B
Randy Ruiz - DH Jeff Clement - C
Brendan Harris - 3B Wladimir Balentien - CF
Adam Everett - *SS* Bryan LaHair - 1B
Carlos Gomez - CF Yuniesky Betancourt - "SS"
W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Jarrod Washburn 5-10 22 21 1 0 1 0 122.2 144 68 65 14 38 69 4.77 1.48

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Nick Blackburn 8-6 22 22 0 0 0 0 134.0 149 64 53 13 20 70 3.56 1.26

This being a weekday matinee means that I won't be able to watch, which makes me 2-2 in missing Washburn starts since the deadline. And that's good, because while he may still be a Seattle Mariner, if I don't see him, he doesn't exist.

Reed: DH

This is going to be hilarious. Way to help out Jarrod stupids.

This should be highly entertaining, one way or the other.

Same as it's always been

For some god damned stupid reason this team stubbornly refuses to move Raul to DH even if it means holding back prospect development for a guy who will not be here next year (most likely) and can’t play defense.

If it can’t be Felix, at least we can see Dickey.

What's his deal?

In his last eight starts, he’s gone: 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 5, 4.2, and 4.1 innings. I know that’s always kind of been his M.O., but it seemed earlier this year as if he he had gotten over that hump. You notice anything?

by Teej on Aug 6, 2008 1:50 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's throwing less sliders this year and even more of his fastball.

For whatever reason he’s suddenly became a flyball pitcher too.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 6, 2008 1:52 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think the injury has thrown him way off

He just hasn’t been able to get the right grip for his slider consistently. He had one game where he threw it extremely well (against Oakland), but that’s pretty much it. He’s not throwing it because he’s not confident in his ability to get it down ATM.

Garza v.Batista
Jackson v. Dickey

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 6, 2008 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Knowing Garza

He’ll throw a CG shutout against you. He’s crazy inconsistent.

The one glaring matchup in the M’s favor is Sonny versus Felix. You guys should win that one, but ya never know. The Rays nearly lost a Kazmir/Sowers matchup today.

The tale of the FiddleCat is a long and ultimately rewarding story....

He was born into poverty in post-World War I Fiddletown. Wrecked by mortar shells in the first battle of the Marne, Fiddletown was bereft of economy and most importantly, happyness. FiddleCat was a bright child, always looking at instruments through the local town’s music stores. It wasn’t until his parents sent him to boarding school in Vienna that he first heard American folk music. From then on, FiddleCat knew his destiny. He saved all spring working odd-jobs with SeizureMouse to buy a fiddle to play in the streets to bring back the happiness to Fiddletown. Once that fiddle was in his hands, nobody was stopping him. He even impressed the local talent scout who would eventually send him on his first American tour.

Thus, the FiddleCat is born, highlighting celebrations of happiness throughout modern American history.

I don't count injuries

it was dumb to sign Schmidt considering age, but he had pitched 150+ innings every year since 1997 except one.

Juan Pierre hasn’t collapsed. His triples have dropped off a lot killing what little slugging he had. His other rate stats seem normal.

They are from Shitsburg.

They are likely all Steeler fans.

Who bunts with 2 outs?

Was it Carlos Gomez

apparently he thinks bunting for hits is his best skill. He has 25 bunt hits this season.

God Jarrod Washburn sucks

Oh my, Geoff.
But it all hinges on Washburn performing well. Forget groundball/flyball ratios. He’s a flyball pitcher. It’s not going to change overnight. It’s the quality of the flyballs that count. Are they hit hard to the gaps? Or popped up to outfielders who have all day to camp under them? When Washburn’s going well, it’s the latter. When he isn’t, the flyballs turn into extra-base hits.

I think those balls that are hit hard to the gaps are called line drives, Geoff. Washburn gives up a lot of them.

Just a thought....

But I’m a damn good left fielder, a really good center fielder, but I suck in right because everything hooks the “wrong” way in my mind. Did Wlad play much in RF before he came up?

I believe prior to the first callup he was primarily a RF in Tacoma.

When he was sent back down he had instructions to get work in center.

by BrianL on Aug 6, 2008 3:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He sure looked bad out there his first time up.

Maybe it was just the jitters.

I have no problem with it at all.

If he’s decent out there, that’s a pretty big deal, and if he’s not, eh.

And just now I thought Sims got baseball but he lost me again

Wondering if Clement will get green lighted with 0 outs and nobody on base after Beltre got the same with runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out…

I think Clement is giving a shout-out to Graham

You know, not getting to second base and all. He’s trying to identify with Graham.

Groz got screwed by KJR.

Offer him a contract, put him on the baseball and football coverage, and let him have his own timeslot from 7-10PM in the offseason.
