I just hope we have a nice easy victory. That would be very nice.

It's so easy to go into psychological shutdown mode when the M's start to suck.

Right now I’m caring more about whether Ryan Zimmerman can keep his hitting streak going tonight than whether Felix can play stopper.

It’s a way to not get hurt.

Watching Juan Pierre go 3-5 with 3 RBI is not cutting it.

I used to read comments on USSM and Fangraphs, you can learn some interested things about metrics that way.

The weak arguments draw some pretty nifty responses, the ones that are spelled out in an orderly logical fashion are akin to min primers in metric usage to the uninitiated neophytes like myself. Which metrics to use in this situation or that, but I can’t read them anymore. Too grating.

Adam Dunn can hit the hell out of the ball, although he'll come down a little.

But my God his fielding is as bad as ever. He has a -25 UZR/150 this year – and that’s an improvement from his full-season figure last year. I actually felt ashamed to be an American when he was in the field for team USA in the WBC.

Adam Eaton once gave up back-to-back-to-back home runs in a simulated game.

And yet he’s manhandling the Yankees.

Hey!

Did you know that Adam Eaton is from Snohomish?!?!?!?

Or any other pitch really.

Except the FB.

At least he worked the count well.

That gives four people who know how: Jr., Wlad, Gutz, and Branyan. Everyone else is is a butcher.

After all, Sims just said they need a shut-down inning. Who better to go to ….

Gutierrez better not walk

It’s like he has no idea who’s batting behind him

by JLC on May 9, 2009 6:00 PM PDT reply actions  

He should just keep doing what he's doing.

I’m okay with Gutz’ successes being wiped out by Yuni’s failures for the present, because Gutz will be around a long time and Yuni won’t.

Have you seen the Nationals' offensive numbers?

They’re very, very good. It’s only the bullpen that’s awful. The pen has blown 7 leads so far this year, including three in a row on the last out of the 9th inning vs. the Marlins.

Dear God

the NBA is so ridiculously fixed. 61 fouls in the Denver Dallas game? WTF.

I didn’t watch and haven’t looked at the box score but I’m predicting that Bennett Salvatore was involved.

In other news, White Sox take a 3-2 lead over Texas in the bottom of the 8th

And the Angels are facing Greinke so I don’t think this loss is going to hurt us a whole lot… at least not in terms of our spot in the division

I bought a Beltre shirt cause I needed to play a pickup softball game and I had to wear blue. So you can all thank me for Beltre’s success.
