4/10: Open Game Thread, Part 2

you won’t get it every time, or even very often, but it seems like the most logical time to try it. Especially if a guy has a really deceptive pickoff move

by seattlebruin on Apr 10, 2009 9:32 PM PDT up reply actions

Sounds good to me, lot of walking leads in that count depending on the speed of the guy at first

Ought to be able to catch one off balance now and then

by Kermit. on Apr 10, 2009 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions

There's a reason they don't do it.

by Smegmalicious on Apr 10, 2009 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions

Not like there's any harm in trying though.

by Matthew on Apr 10, 2009 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions

No, not really

Arguably you could be breaking the pitcher’s focus just at the time he needs to focus the most, but sure, why not.

by Smegmalicious on Apr 10, 2009 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions

Wellll, that's a good point too. I can see where some pitchers could have focus problems there

by Kermit. on Apr 10, 2009 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions

Exactly

you won’t get ‘em often, but you’ll get one every once in a while, and that’s a pretty decent sized WE boost, plus momentum never hurts, if anything

Triunfel report

Here

West Tenn shortstop Carlos Triunfel, who left Riverwalk Stadium in an ambulance

Friday, was in “good condition” just after 10 p.m. at Baptist Medical Center South, Baptist marketing coordinator Melody Ragland said.

Triunfel suffered an apparent left ankle injury while sliding into second on a double play that ended the top of the fourth inning Friday.

Triunfel is the No. 4 prospect in the Seattle organization, according to Baseball America. The 19-year-old is in his third professional season and first at Double-A.

Why id Aardsma throwing from the stretch and what is he looking at when he checks first base?

by seattlebruin on Apr 10, 2009 10:04 PM PDT reply actions

With his control, it's just habit

by abender20 on Apr 10, 2009 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions

Although I'll be goddamned if he doesn't look to be hitting his spots

by abender20 on Apr 10, 2009 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions

Most relievers work out of the stretch.

You got slurved bitch.

by Slurvey on Apr 10, 2009 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm more curious about checking first every time

by seattlebruin on Apr 10, 2009 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions

A lot of relievers throw from the stretch

Maybe there’s a cute girl?

It's all because of RRS

I can't enjoy this as much as I should.

We should be (at least) two games over .500!

Man for such low expectations for the Mariners.

They are playing like a decent ball club.

I can't believe we won this fuckin game.. For about 7 innings i was waiting for the A's to cash in

by Rudy4three on Apr 10, 2009 10:07 PM PDT reply actions

I just literally turned on the game in the 9th inning, what happened?

by Fin on Apr 10, 2009 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions

Everything possible to scare the shit out of every Mariners fan with a pulse

Other than that, you didn’t miss much.

by cwel87 on Apr 10, 2009 10:09 PM PDT up reply actions

We stole this game.

Seriously.

All we were missing was Rick White.

No, but it felt that way at times.

by royalcurve on Apr 10, 2009 10:11 PM PDT up reply actions

I am sure he would've sealed the loss in the ninth inning.

by Fin on Apr 10, 2009 10:13 PM PDT up reply actions

And John Parrish.

The M’s got that win back they should have gotten on Tuesday?>

Griff walked 3 time, Endy was a stud, Griff was huffing and puffing, dead memes galore, Corco couldn't find the strike zone, ump was squeezing

I think the first GT made this game feel like it went twice as long as it actually did

I didn’t realize how much pleasure LL gives me during the games. It’s one of those things you take for granted, but significantly affects your fandom.
