The only thing the Glen Perkins picture seems to be saying is “huh?”

My 1st game thread of the season...

…though my enthusiasm is somewhat dimmed by the news out of SoCal this morning, I will soldier on doggedly.

Go M’s! Let’s get the split.

We've played too well to come out of this series anything but 2-2.

GO M’s.

Since it has defaulted to not doing HD, I've had no problems with it either

My only problem was with it going back in time a second or two and repeating certain things, which was annoying, but on SD it’s been smooth as butta.

Drayer on the change-ups last night...

apparently, Joh called them & Silva agreed with the call … that the change-up was what he would have called in the situation.

Wak disagrees with both of them, and talked to them about it….

by msb on Apr 9, 2009 9:41 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

More from Wak (via LaRue)
"It’s not about blame, it’s about accountability," Wakamatsu said. "We’re trying to move this team forward. Kenji called it. Carlos could have shaken him off. And I could have called the pitch from the bench.

"The key is to get us all on the same page. Carlos is a sinker-slider guy who occasionally throws a changeup. I’d much rather throw my best pitch where I want it – even if the hitter is sitting on it – than my third best pitch, which I may not have great control of."

"The bottom line: that wasn’t acceptable. We’ve got to get better, and that’s a process. I include myself in that."

I like Wak.

I hate it when tv people add "tragically" to the front everything

1) We know it’s awful, I don’t need you to tell me that being hit by a DD = bad
2) I don’t think tragedy means what you think it means.

by JI on Apr 9, 2009 9:48 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

What was the point

Of bringing Tui up as a reward if your not gonna play him? A game where they give Beltre the day off at third and he still can’t get off the bench? We may as well have brought a 13th pitcher for the pen.

I understand the rationale

But wouldn’t this be a perfect game to let him play befroe they ship him back to Tacoma?

I don't know

I guess I’m a bit higher on Tui then the rest of you, although living in Texas now I don’t get to watch Mariners games so I haven’t really seen him play, I just get box scores.

He’s put a really good swing on pretty much everything I’ve seen him swing at, and he seems to know the strike zone. Small sample size like no other, but I think he’s gonna have a big year.

He was shifted towards right

the ball was hit to left center. He covered an impossible amount of ground to get there, laid out, and caught it inches above the ground

The ball looked like it was for sure going into the gap for extra bases.

Guti went back covered an amazingly large amount of ground and laid out to catch the ball like half an inch above the ground. Really impressive.

With this defense

and the fact that any contending team likely already has a good third baseman, I’m betting that Washburn returns more in trade this year than Beltre does.

Not only is that a ridiculous amount of talent to give up

trade is more likely to happen, and with Hughes and Kennedy sitting in the minors they could make a deal…

No doubt

but he still needs surgery in the offseason, so if he tweaks something that could be it for the year, and the Yanks will not stick with whoever that kid is they have manning third right now

My ONE consolation, if the Nats blow it and pass on Strasburg, is that at least he'll fall to the Mariners.

It’s just that the Nationals desperately need him, far moreso than the M’s.

Well, maybe this isn't the strongest offense in the league

but goddammit we can hit bad left handed pitching! So… yeah. Go M’s

5 hits off perkins aint that bad

considering there is no Ichiro, or Johjima in the lineup. Also, Lopez’ terrible at bats notwithstanding we’re making good contact today.

Yes, I am. I assume it's an MLB premium feature?

You have to understand…my connection is so herky-jerky that I don’t even pay much attention to the video…I just put it on the lowest video setting and listen to it as if it’s a radio show.

Digital Video Recorder? Rewinder?

I suppose it is amazing, but I’m SO SO out of touch with stuff like this. I don’t own a TiVO, or a satellite dish, or whatever. I don’t even have cable, Jeff. I get all my necessary sports from MLB.com and read books and watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVDs instead of watching cable.

I feel bad that for years I thought he'd never be a successful MLB pitcher.

Also, wasn’t he due to start against us on opening day? I wonder who will replace him.

I still think its lame that students have to take a test

because teachers can’t do their jobs properly.

Maybe it has changed in the last 8 years but when they introduced the WASL it seemed like it made teachers even worse at teaching.

It's actually a question that immediately occurred to me too.

Between Adenhart, that fan who was murdered, and MacDonald schtupping the seeming pre-teen, this is the beginning of a real snakebitten season for the Halos.

What'd they dope you up with? Novocaine or nitrous?

The worst part about novocaine is how it makes sweet drinks taste naggingly sour for hours afterward.

Nothing about Washburn is making sense to me today.

I’m guessing it must be the unrelieved suckiness of the Twins’ lineup.
