Bad game, Good series.

and miss out on the possibility of a great comeback?

Teams probably do this once or twice a year. You don’t want to miss one of the greatest games of the season because it looked bad early.

I left at 4-0 to go hang out in the ID and get out in the sun.

Nothing could possibly convince me that I made the wrong decision.

If you had gotten run over by a car I am sure you would be singing a different tune.

Washburn on striking people out.

“That was a fluke,‘’ he said. "I had nine in one game. There was three lefties in that lineup and I had nine (strikeouts) in that game. And I think six of them were against lefties. So, the strikeouts are a fluke. That’s nothing. I’m a pitch-to-contact guy and today, the contact was more solid than I would like. And that’s just because I was up in the zone and missing in the middle of the plate.

“I’m not a strikeout guy. I haven’t been since minor league ball when I quit trying to do it.’’

Translation: "I gave up giving a shit and trying to be a good pitcher when I was in the minors"

I'm not going to get angry at a guy for knowing his limitations.

After watching Felix underachieve because he’s obsessed with strking people out with his fastball, it’s sort of refreshing to hear someone be honest in their appraisal of themselves.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 26, 2009 8:32 PM PDT up reply actions

Actually, you're completely right.

I was just looking to take a shot at Washburn. He probably could’ve said “Ichiro, Felix, and Bedard are the Mariners’ best players. They are awesome.” and I still would’ve made some snide comment.

by Decatur on Apr 26, 2009 8:45 PM PDT up reply actions

This is pretty amazing to me.

This looks like a piece of joke dialogue we might do about Washburn being completely honest instead of blaming his catcher or something. Quite humble of him to just say “that was a fluke.”
