Finally

Earlier this month Randy Messenger came on like gangbusters, but a couple bad outings in a row have dragged his numbers down to a more appropriate level for a guy like Randy Messenger, which should be enough to keep the coaching staff from thinking that he earned a roster spot. Mind you, I don't know how much the coaching staff liked Messenger in the first place or how much they care about ST performance, but as far as I'm concerned, anything that might help keep bad players away from the roster can only be good, and Randy Messenger is a bad player. This also leaves David Aardsma and maybe Shawn Kelley as the only bullpen standouts to date, which is both stupid and pretty cool. The longer we go without Mark Lowe doing something positive, the closer we become to an interesting experiment.

Incidentally, six Mariner pitchers have struck out at least twice as many hitters as they've walked so far in ST. Those pitchers have allowed 83 hits and 42 runs in 55.2 innings. Nice month for the defense.

Um..

If we took Lincecum, we’d have had another closer because there’s no way in hell this organization would’ve given him a chance to be a starter.

Well I agree

How many times do you think Felix and Erik will keep the game close through 7-8 innings only to let Lowe/Aardsma come into the ninth an blow it? I’d rather watch Morrow lock down a nice outing by these two every once in a while than watch anyone else throw it all in the trash.

Three times.

And I think there will be 12 times that some other SP will prevent us from winning a game that Brandon Morrow as a SP would win.

About fucking time

I thought Messenger was finished when he was removed from the 40-man. On a kinder note, I feel bad for wishing one of our pitchers to fail so hard, especially without a lot of good options for relievers.

There’s no fanbase in the world I would wish Randy Messenger on.

I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
