Promising start to this inning

"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.

I'll honestly say zero.

And we are talking unintentional walks here I hope

by d0nkey on May 1, 2009 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wrong.

He should’ve already had one, but the ump called a strike on a 3-2 count.

by yuniform on May 1, 2009 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but he won't go the whole season without one.

Unless he never plays again (wouldn’t be the worst idea).
But it’ll happen. He’s not a cartoon character.

This is what would happen if Yuni was cartoon character

A let's go Mariners chant...I feel like we're in the Kingdome again.

Sadly, the feeble home crowd failed to fuel it and you could actually hear a “Let’s go Oakland” chant countering it.

by Omerta on May 1, 2009 9:46 PM PDT reply actions  

K!

Now please get Holliday

"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.

by gregrabble on May 1, 2009 9:47 PM PDT reply actions  

Finally. Someone who can throw strikes.

(Also someone who throws something the umpire recognizes as strikes)

by royalcurve on May 1, 2009 9:48 PM PDT reply actions

I think Nomar Garciaparra

or someone on the Dodgers a few years ago fouled off way more before hitting a GW homer.

Quote:

Foul balls are not an official statistic of Major League Baseball so there is no record of who faced the most pitches/ hit the most foul balls in one plate appearance.

Baseball didn’t start keeping track of every pitch of every game until the late 1980’s. According to Bill James – noted baseball authority – Roy Thomas who played 100+ years ago supposedly hit 22 foul balls in one plate appearance.

More recently – and well documented – is Alex Cora who on May 13, 2004 hit 14 consecutive foul balls before hitting a home run.

That's fine

when we’re winning, we’re better off with a happy clubhouse. Even if Silva is a horrible person and pitcher

Silva is an example of why tRA is better than FIP.

I cannot for the life of me accept that he is a anywhere close to a league average pitcher, or even slightly below league average.

I was thinking solely in terms of the Mariners

And this season so far couldn’t really remind him of the ALCS
