Alright, Felix, lefty on mound, Wlad in left, Cedeno still on short.

Doesn't change the fact that Rob Johnson sucks at playing baseball.
In comparison to other major leaguers, that is.

Also, it's in Texas, which means that Felix should be better off than Harrison
because Felix is from Venezuela and thus his genes are better suited to handle the humidity. Harrison clearly appears to be white and thus will have trouble in the midday Texas heat

Aww man I left for work with a 2GB Lost download running
And then someone came in my room whilst I was at work and switched my computer off. This made me even more upset than I already was at a) being tired after waking up during the night to watch gameday and b) the cockpunching, soulcrushing defeat.

Why does it seem like so many of our hitters that shouldn't show bunt do early in the AB?
Balentien today, Branyan actually bunted yesterday, Junior looked like he was showing bunt in his first AB. Seems like something we’ve done a lot this year. Doesn’t seem to make sense to me.

A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
You can never know because as of one year ago
they announcers would have never (on the air) criticized Yuni for swinging at everything, or welcomed a player like Branyan into the lineup
I'm not seeing him show signs of discomfort, looking at the radar readings, take any extra time or any other outward sign
that I would associate with a pitcher laboring.
Not that that is dispositive.

Long term, I agree, seeing him throw 89-90 is horrible news.
But no runs and 1 hit through 3 innings is good.
So W > Health?

"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett http://mvn.com/marinersminors/
His health is more important, so I agree, lower velosity/possible injury is really bad.

Felix throwing 89-90/Possible Injury = Very Very Bad.
Allowing 1 hit and 0 runs through 3 innings = Not bad.
I can't care about both?
I’m pissed he might be hurt, but I’m glad he isn’t hurt and getting lit up at the same time.

Wonder if the reduced velocity earlier in the game
Was a result of Felix trying to mix his pitches right out of the gate? He usually starts his game “establishing the fastball” by pumping nothing but fastballs.
It's still lower than usual...even for this season.

Well, you know what?
The fastest the ball goes the least time it has to moves, remember that the plate is only 60 feet away from the mound and a fastball that goes around 90 miles an hour will take less than a minute to get there, so if you want it to move more you have to take speed off of it.

Saw this on Minorleagueball.com
Fields sidelined by sore shoulder
Josh Fields, Seattle’s top pick last June, has pitched just once since April 30th (a poor outing on May 5th).
Why?
According a Diamond Jaxx beat writer, “He’d had some shoulder soreness last week when they were in town.”
He’s not on the DL, and hopefully it’s nothing major, but as Kevin Goldstein wrote last month:
“He could get a late-season look, that is unless his arm falls off, as one scout who saw him recently categorized his mechanics as “some of the most violent I’ve seen in recent memory.”
You might be able to put two and two together on this one.
No.
I’d like to see us NOT think that just because you’re a first round draft pick with a fastball and little else, you should be hurried through the minors and installed as a late inning reliever.
by eponymous_coward on May 14, 2009 1:20 PM PDT up reply actions
The important part is "hurried"
Until he demonstrates some idea of the strike zone over time in the minors and can demonstrate throwing a second pitch for strikes, I don’t care if his fastball velocity is good.
Brandon Morrow is kind of the poster child for what you get when all you can throw is good heat kind of near the zone, and everything else is a show-me pitch.

I'm a big fan of this Brandon Morrow fellow.
Wasn’t he drafted 5th overall ahead of Tim Lincecum?

what has happened to Morrow
I didn’t buy that he didn’t want to be a starter. I think his arm is shot his fastball used to pop and move and now it is flat

Top that.
And after learning about today’s outcome I just laaaaaaughed.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Morrow's never had good command
His spring training was interrupted by injury, and then he had a DL stint.
For some reason, the Mariners think the best way for him to rehab and get innings in to tune himself up is pitching the 9th inning of close games.

MORROW SHOULD BE TRADED. GET FIELDS IN THE TEAM AS SET UP AND KELLEY AS CLOSER WHEN HE IS BACK.
I NEVER WANT TO SEE MORROW EVER AGAIN UNLESS HE CONVERTS TO A STARTER IMMEDIATELY.

Poor Felix
That sux for Felix.
Here is the question though . If you think the team is going to struggle and subscribe to the theory that becoming a closer like anything else in the MLB requires you to take you lumps, would you rather Morrow struggle now and eventually become a dominant guy now before the games are meaningful or does everyone want to just send him back to the rotation
I vote for "send him to Tacoma and call him up when he throws some strikes"
by eponymous_coward on May 14, 2009 1:26 PM PDT up reply actions
I wish he'd paid attention to what Felix was doing and gone offspeed, Felix was sick today with the changup/curve
Dave was really really excited everytime he pulled the string, you could hear him beaming a few times.
I really want him to go back to the rotation but it's not going to happen

Yeah guys lets give all the credit for the way Felix pitched to Rob Johnson
Then lets watch his “tricks of the trade” segment intently

Most of the blame goes to Morrow today.
But Rob Johnson gets a tad bit of credit for every loss, so yes.
Not today.

We're going to be like the Pirates. Never sniffing postseason. This team
mired in mediocrity with no help on the horizon
We have $40 million in coming off the books next year and Carp, Saunders, and Moore in AAA this year and GMZ and Tom Tango and crew running the front office.
Look at some Brewers drafts to cheer yourself up.

morrows arm is done
is there a tear? I am sure glad we didn’t draft tim l because he was to small to last. will the dark cloud of the bavasi era ever lift
Raider for life
His arm is fine, he's got no control. He needs to go to AAA to work on his control or something, we can't afford to have him missing his spot with either an obvious ball or a hittable pitch almost every time.
If his control doesn’t improve, then it’s time to take a look at his elbow.

I know...that's what I was saying.
If it persists, THEN you take a look.
Regardless, if his control is this bad, what could it hurt to send him to AAA to work on it there instead of here, where it hurts the team in a big way?

Yes, it's possible he could just suck.

His fastball does not seem as lively. And I still think there is more to the story of him not starting.

But it's pretty relevant to My God does this team suck right now
Seeing as Harrison is the perfect pitcher for this lineup to be seeing now, and this game was in a good ballpark for hitting and good weather for hitting, too, and he got a complete-game win.

Mainly Brandon Morrow
If not for him we would have won this series
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
So his WPA today should be something on the order of -.9 wins,
bringing his grand total to ~-1.6 for these last two games.
True
but he’s not at fault for the 7 losses preceding these two.
I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

To summarize
Lunch.
Realization the game was on.
‘Danger Will Robinson!!!!’ entries on both LL & USSM re: Felix and Bedard
Felix walks the tightrope and get out of his last inning.
Aardsma does it.
Mariners don’t do it.
Morrow does it.
I am growing tired of going to work and surfing the net for 9 hours forcing myself to avoid mention of the sucky defeats of the previous day.
The net is pretty shit outside of BBC News and baseball.
