9/5: Open Game Thread, Part 3

You made my night, and if we’re talking about the Top 50 Mariner Moments next off-season (wait, that was USSM)… I think you’ve just topped the list. Even if we somehow lose this game. Doesn’t matter. We love you.

Also, late.

Felix Hernandez Hit a Grand Slam off of Johan Santana.

Morrow would of had to have completed the No-No to top that.

But it’d better be #2.

In your first start in the majors to do something like that, at home, against the hated Yankees, striking out A-Rod no less. Must be an incredible feeling, and he totally deserves it.

I always feel better when I can include my dad in some history.

I never bonded so much with my dad August-October in ’95.

I can probably say since May of that year, as we were sitting down the right field line and watched Griffey go into the wall.

Naw it's 100 pitches when he hasn't thrown more than 82 this year

Niehaus said it on the radio: getting through the 8th might have created a dilemma, because Riggleman would have had to seriously considered pulling him for the 9th.

by Gomez on Sep 5, 2008 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

There comes a point where rational thought isn't rational.

I’d risk injury to Morrow 100 times out a 100 if it meant the no hitter.

Yeah. FWIW I don't think he was ever at risk of getting hurt

When you’re tired, you struggle just to make pitches, let alone locate them… and someone was probably going to get a hit eventually.

That curve he threw was devoid of fangs.

by Susheel Ramasahayam on Sep 5, 2008 9:53 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah. When a pitcher has a no-no or a perfect game going, I'm only taking him out in 3 circumstances.

1. The pitcher gets injured and is physically unable to continue.
2. The pitcher gives up a base hit.
3. The pitcher himself asks me to pull him.

Otherwise, he is finishing the game, I don’t care if he has to throw 170 pitches to do it.

by Goose on Sep 5, 2008 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

What's funny

Given his current stamina threshold, this was actually a bad time to throw one, in terms of his being able to finish it. If he threw one 3-4 starts from now, he probably doesn’t run out of gas in the 8th, maybe not even the 9th.

That’s splitting hairs for fun, though. I’m certainly not complaining about tonight’s game. No way.

by Gomez on Sep 5, 2008 9:56 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I wasn't worried about injury so much

It just became clear that he’d run out of gas in the 8th before he gave up the hit. His velocity on his fastball was down about 3 mph and he was starting to hang his breaking stuff. That’s why the hit didn’t really upset me, because it was sorta inevitable when he was completely out of juice, and it’s totally fine that he was after throwing way more pitches than he’s ever thrown.
