I'm glad Beltre is such an amazing fielder

You know what's awesome?
My latest worry has been “Even if we win the World Series, we’ll lose Bedard and Beltre to free agency.”
Even though I’m getting way ahead of myself, it’s still the best worry ever.
I don't even understand this
I have made a conscious decision to not go to the game on Friday, the game on Sunday, and now tonight’s game. I’m beginning to think that my canceled intentions of attending M’s games is good luck for the team

You know what I think would be a sweet M's uniform design.

I love mine.
If only because, for once, there’s no logo plastered on the back of my cap.
I have a question
I don’t follow the M’s super closely, but I have a question that has probably already been answered somewhere on this site, but I can’t find it, and I don’t want to crowd up your guys’ fan-post area, so if somebody could just answer it here, I’d really appreciated it.
Why isn’t Wladimir Balentien getting very many ABs, from what I’ve seen he seems to be doing pretty well, or am I mistaken? Is Endy Chavez crowding his spot?
Adoptive parent of Kyle Nicholson
Endy is sort of crowding his spot.
But Endy plays better defense and Balentien struggles against righties and offspeed pithces, I believe.
...and now I'm here
Endy started the year hot and his defense has been outstanding.
Hence, it’s been tough taking him out of the lineup.
And even if Wlad is hitting well, it isn’t like he’s hitting so well that he’s forcing Wakamatsu to put him in.
Wlad is looking improved both offensively and defensively.
When Endy cools off, which he is well on his way to doing, I expect Wlad will play more
He's been cooled off for a while, so it may not be much longer.
...and now I'm here
Thanks, everybody
I think I agree with librocrat, I have been under the impression that although Chavez’ stats look nice, they are heavily weighted by a hot start. Balentien looks to be a much more complete defensive player, and much improved hitting wise.
Adoptive parent of Kyle Nicholson
Chavez will always be better than Balentien at defense.
But offensively, if Balentien can keep hitting breaking balls “okay,” then he is going to be considerably better.
...and now I'm here
There's really no such thing as a hot streak. So you're right about Balentien...
once he becomes a more complete defensive player, he’ll get the playing time, unless Chavezs’ offensive stats change, which seem unlikely at this point.

He hits it consistently in the same place
He pulls the ball right to where he’d make the play were he on defense. The fact that he keeps hitting it in the same place and keeps getting the same results is not ‘unlucky.’
He's right. It has nothing to do with luck. Beltre is a self-hating Dominican

Those kids and adults trying to have fun need to sit the hell down and not enjoy themselves, except apparently to cheer extremely loudly for their losing team.

Negatory, son.
I have never danced to any bad music. Because it’s bad.
I do, however, lose my shit when things are going well. Tonight they’re not, so the only thing I would have cause to yell would be swears – which the good staff at SafeCo frowns on, so I would most likely be cursing under my breath, instead.
Because that’s how I roll.

REFUSE TO SWING AT GOOD PITCHES

Just find a way to get on base Kenji, Gutz will bring you home

HE WAS SAFE FUCKING TWICE YOU STUPID FUCKING SHIT
...and now I'm here
Wow and his foot was off the bag
Umpires have really fucked us over the last few days
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
Was I the only one who thought he would be clearly safe by the time
the camera cut to first base?
Fucking stupid. Fucking fucking fucking stupid
...and now I'm here
Gutz comes through again.... unfortunately unless Yuni miraculously gets a hit it won't matter
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
And wow - if it weren't for that piece of shit umpire we'd have first and third 1 out
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
You don't think he could have gone first to third on that?
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
DO NOT FUCK THIS UP YUNI
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I wonder if Yuni's impulsive nature the reason why it took so long for his kind to get voting rights
What if he walked here?
How crazy would that be
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
Oh, so that's what good SS defense looks like.

Sec 108 screamed this very thing
at the top of his (formidable) lungs during Yuni’s entire at bat. I feel this is why Yuni did not, in fact, swing.
After Friday night I think Yuni is scared of Sec108, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Too bad they don’t have a section 8, he’s freakin’ craaaaaazy when it comes to hating Yuni, compared to Sec108 my feelings towards Yuni only rate ‘a strong dislike to mildly aggravating’.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

Hey Red, I swear I saw you on the Jumbotron with your Beltre head tonight.

He just walked Yuniesky fucking Betancourt ... not a good time to first pitch swing with the game on the line

I see its just the same old Mariners
No point in getting excited in a team that cant score in the clutch
If Bedard doesn't put these fuckers away tomorrow
I will, quite frankly, be pissed.
the offseason sucks
I'm sending that ump a death threat
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
These umpires need to be raped in the eyes.
fucking blind ass fucking ass shits. What the fucking ass crap has this been all fucking year. Get a fucking call right you fucking shit holes. There is no fucking thing you are doing right at all you fucking ass fucks. All of you need to be fuckin fired.

The Umpires for the Mariners this year have just been god awful.
This is fucking bullshit. Something has to be done about this shit. There is human error and there is bullshit, this is the latter.
The calls haven’t even been close. Not even close.
The boat just fucking ran aground and burned. Then a horde of plague infested
rats ran aboard. Then a thousand cats infected by Toxoplasma gondii took shits all over the vessel. Then a chinook helicopter dumped 10 tons of 10M HCL down the vents. Then…
If not for that call bases would have been loaded, and I think Guti would have been able to score on that Ichiro fly out
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
The point remains that the umpires fucked us though
Although Felix fucked us worse so there’s that

That's assuming that all the other players would have done the same thing
But I’m confident we would have scored
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
So was Joh really safe?? I didn't look at the replays because I was so
irate that he was so slow that he couldn’t easily beat the throw
He was safe but it was a very close play

Though if Yuni had applied the Tag in a timely fashion he would have been out.

Racist pieces of shit

Why can't this team just roll over and die at the first sign of trouble.
They are killing me with these one run wins and losses.
Honestly I myself would rather have all our losses be by one run than be blown out in all our losses
That what I'm saying
He walked. Then Ichiro…..well it was a good pitch to swing at i guess

This was the 3rd worst loss of the season

Instant replays for home run calls => Umpires aren’t perfect
Umpires aren’t perfect ==> Umpires are somehow good enough so that we don’t need robot umpires at the bases?

Indeed but I can't help getting used to winning
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
I can't help it
And it’s May, by the way
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
Coolstandings is retarted they give the Blue Jays a 63% chance of winning the AL East
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
And it's only 46% for Toronto
There’s the wild card.
BP’s is a lower, but both will go down if the Sox hang on for the win.
It makes sense
because it assumes that the team will continue to score runs at the same rate. It doesn’t know that Aaron Hill, Marco Scutaro, Adam Lind, Rod Barajas, and Jose Bautista won’t post OPSes over .900 for the rest of the year.
Not true.
Cool looks at the previous season
BP’s Pecota does something proprietary that’s probably fairly smart.
They don’t assume Youkilis will hit .400.
Really?
I could’ve sworn it was based on a Pythag generated on this season’s runs scored and allowed. I’ll have to double check that.
From their website:
“we simulate the rest of the season millions of times, based on every team’s performance to date and its remaining schedule… Our method is to use simple team statistics (e.g. runs scored and runs against) to predict how each team will fare against all others. For those of you familiar with baseball prediction, we use a variation of the Bill James “Pythagorean Theorem” to predict results. "
There’s nothing about the previous season there, only strength of schedule adjustments. And if they do adjust it based on last season, I have no idea how the Jays are projected to make the playoffs 63% of the time. Their offense is going to regress, regress, regress. Same goes for some of the pitching.
I would say "It's the difference between the smart mode and the dumb mode"
But the Jays actually do better in the smart standings, which the FAQ also says takes some from the past season. So, wrong on that front.
But I don't think that really applies now
First, according to the FAQ, that’s mainly used for football.
Second, it also says “after enough games are played during the current season, last year’s numbers have a negligible impact on the coolstat calculations.” I’d have to imagine we’re at that point for their model.
For evidence, compare BP’s standings. Their monte carlo sim (Based entirely on this season) has the Jays at 62%, right where coolstandings is. But, if you use the PECOTA adjusted sim, they have the Jays at only 11%, which makes a lot more sense. So I don’t see how CS is adjusting the Jays down based on last year.
Yeah, I have a bet with a friend that the Muscle will hit at least 26 HR this year
I might be fucked but it looks good so far
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
I'm looking at that play at first again.
Kenji beating the throw and the first baseman coming off the bag, both of the aspects of that play were very very close. Don’t get me wrong I still think Kenji was safe, but looking at that play again I don’t feel quite as bad as I first did. We simply can’t keep on coming in to the ninth down by only one run or so.
Yep
Ump fucked us; Felix fucked us worse.
by Graham MacAree on May 4, 2009 10:03 PM PDT up reply actions
Except they are paid to be accurate.
Anyone can make guesses. Their JOB hinges on their accuracy. Either get it right, or allow some type of replay for bullshit plays, but get it right. The umpire are a superfluous part of the game, only there because there is currently no technology that is both fast and accurate. Once computers can replace umpires, they’re gone.
...and now I'm here
I think you're being wildly optimistic there
Major sports leagues are massively conservative.
by Graham MacAree on May 4, 2009 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Ah, but if you were addressing that computers may never replace umpires,
then probably. But “there is currently no technology that is both fast and accurate” should be amended with: “and there may never be.”
...and now I'm here
Is that really true?
I know the tennis line computer system is actually blazingly fast and that they just make it seem slow to add drama. I feel like this could work in baseball.

I'm willing to settle for managers being given a certain number of replay challenges every game.
Do the college football thing and give the coaches 2 or 3 chances to challenge anything during the course of a game.
Yeah since Endy's hot streak appears to be over and Guti is heating up that would work well
Endy killed some rallies today
