I like how after Felix grimaces, Ibanez has that look on his face like "Yeah kid, what the fuck do you want huh?"
"All I’ve ever done is be Juan Pierre when I wear this jersey. They’re sticking it to me this year for whatever reason. "
.277/.324/.316
~Juan Pierre
You seem to underestimate the number of local charities this man contributes to.
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
Maybe he should take more pride in that and less in this

You say tomato...
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
Maybe we should establish a Get Raul Some Legs Foundation

I'm not sure how we'd go about making Mike Morse better through his foundation

In a country as rich as the United States, how is it that baseballs STILL don't come with bells attached
so that Mike Morse can find them?
Is that acceptable in the year 2008?

It looks as if Raul doesn't even move until the camera pans to him.
Jeremy Reed ran over to back up in a hurry….
Reed is actually good at defense.

Reed is still kind of on my shitlist, but yeah, he's certainly no Player A.

Not comparing them
Merely noting that Player A would approve of Jeremy’s flowing locks.
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
That he would.
Upon further review, however, Reed hasn’t been nearly as bad as I thought. For a solid defensive CFer, he’s okay-ish. Not ready to start loving him again, but I guess I can stop making fun of his scuzziness now.

I knew this thread would be here.
And thank little baby jeebus for that.
That ball was in the air for almost long enough for Reed to get to it, and STILL Raul jumps…horrrrrible.
I have a cousin with 1 testicle, when they yell play ball, he smiles.
Are all those Raul 'defense' plays from this year?

The one thing that is clearly evident to me
is all the damn runners scoring. Over and over and over…yeah, chew that gum, that’ll make you an outfielder.

I was going to respond, "How can management allow him to continue in LF?"
and I thought about Sexson hitting .205 for a year and a half, and Vidro hitting 4th, and on and on.
Can’t we draft an email with all those lovely images attached and send it to fancare? Call it ’Raul’s a good hitter’.
He just can’t be our Lf’r next year. DH/1B great, he’s welcome, but if he’s going to pull that entitled bullshit or the delusion theory (that he’s good in LF) he’s got to go. A true Mr. Mariner would help his team by becoming a DH/1B, not by costing us an ungodly amount of runs. 3-4 last night. I guess I should ask first, would anyone else (besides Ichiro) have thrown those runners out at the plate? I remember seeing Felix in the background on one of them, turning away and putting his face in his glove. Sure he gave up the hit, but clearly Raul doesn’t have much reputation if the runners are going home over and over. I guess making it safely proves them right. He CAN’T throw them out, even with a sizzler right to him.

I mean, that's not an easy catch
but come on…
Reed/Wlad make that catch.
Manny might have made it. I give manny the same chance and yet Manny is known for terrible D. How can this be ignored(by FO, not informed bloggers here)?

THIS DIDN'T GO FOR AN ERROR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

If the Brewers are willing to appeal for the no-hitter, the Mariners need to appeal for Felix.
Un-be-liev-able
Any time a pitcher allows a ball to be hit that hard, he deserves whatever he gets.

Felix allowed the ball to be hit hard enough to allow his defense to get under the ball.
And I don’t know if Felix allowed anything to happen. The guy just hit the pitch.
Under the ball, but just short of the LF wall.
Those are the kind of balls in play Felix is too good to allow on a regular basis. If Raul had gotten an error on the play, it would be an example of errors being a dumb statistic.

It would have also been an example of "you still should have caught it"
by seattlebruin on Sep 11, 2008 6:52 AM PDT up reply actions
Yes, he should have caught it.
I just don’t feel bad for the pitcher in a situation like that, because the ball was hit well. It’s not a Yuni not getting to easy ground balls situation.
