It's weird to think that this is a matchup of two teams in first place considering how much terrible is littering the lineups.

Isn't Silva on a short leash?

I thought I read that if he doesn’t produce in this start that Wak is gonna smack that ugly ass grin off his face. I could be wrong.

Supposedly

but I get the feeling this is not Silva’s last start, even if he does get knocked around.

by IceStormV1 on May 6, 2009 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You must be mistaken

The Series Preview mentioned nothing of Carlos Silva pitching today. If you insist on jumping into a game thread I urge to at least make use of that valuable resource or else you might be in over your head here.

I like Ryan Divish

FSN showed a pic of Wille and his season stats

and at the top of the screen it had the title of “The Igniter”

Hoping Olson, actually

then we don’t need to burn Vargas before an expected start (whenever Silva’s next turn would be)

by seattlebruin on May 6, 2009 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Olsen

sets him up to get into the rotation once silva gets the boot.

Anybody but Stark.

Maybe Olson? I dunno the last time he pitched in Tacoma.

No he puts it in the zone.

The Mariners get themselves out on pitchers who throw outside the zone.

It was so obvious I'm inclined to not give myself any credit for it.

Because frankly I was expecting Jacobs to hit a monster home run. That’s what he does to shit pitchers like Carlos Silva.

SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA

I would love if the defense refused to field any balls until Silva is taken off of the field. Or if Silva refused to pitch until Yuni is replaced. Or both.

The worst part is, Ponson made the Mariners look stupid in the top half.

This game should be a slug fest, but it’s going to be a blowout instead.

Gotta love the game being over after one inning

What with the shit Silva is shoveling up to the plate and our piss-poor offense

Not bad.

Royals need to keep the pressure on next inning though.

by ThundaPC on May 6, 2009 5:26 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Gone?

Gone?

You do realize we have him signed for two more years, yes? He’s gone from the rotation, that much is true. But I doubt we’ll just DFA him at this point.

Can anyone tell me why Simms takes over after the first few innings?

I’ve been wondering this forever, just never thought to ask/find out.

Thanks!

Thanks, I knew he went to radio just wasnt sure why.

Is there no other reason that he just likes it better?

It is weird that losing this game may mean the Mariners have better playoff chances.

My presumption was the worse Silva does, the more likely he is out.

Though yes, winning anyway would be nice too.
