PrintSan Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners, Jun 24, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
To counteract the sucky Beltre news, I'd like to bring it to your attention that the Rangers have moved Neftali Feliz to the bullpen. That's the 21 year old flamethrowing Neftali Feliz, arguably the top pitching prospect in all of baseball. Said Jon Daniels:
"We'd like to see if he's an option to help the Major League club in that role," general manager Jon Daniels said. "He's scheduled to throw an inning [in AAA] tomorrow. We still feel he may start for us in the future but we're going down that road first."
There's no indication that this is 100% permanent, but Daniels' quote is vague and troublesome. "May start for us in the future"? Feliz is a phenom whose secondary stuff still needs a hell of a lot of work. Bumping him into short relief and throwing him into the Majors is hardly going to get him to focus on developing his changeup and curveball into ML-caliber pitches. I could be misreading this, but the whole idea seems incredibly short-sighted. Yeah, Feliz will probably be able to help out a disaster of a bullpen, but at what long term cost?
I feel like we had a guy like this once.

So with the way Wakamatsu's talking
it looks like Morrow’s transition is going to take place in the Majors.
I tried to directly ask Zdurenciek that today in his live chat, question never got picked though.
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed
Although someone did ask him "what happened to the plan with Brandon Morrow"
Jack responded with something like… “What plan are you speaking of? He’s starting tonight and is going to continue getting innings”. Definitely not his exact words but it was something very similar to that

It wasn't too bad, he didn't really say much that I hadn't already heard though.

Aumont/Fields are our co-closers of the future!
Even though much of it was useless, we got confirmation on a couple of things. There was at least some speculation that they had Aumont in the bullpen only to limit his IP for the season. His description of why Aumont is best-suited for closing left much to be desired, but at least he was forthcoming about it.

from Jack today:
buhnerman: Ronnie Cedeno is not worth keeping around. He is taking time away from someone else. I’m a huge Mariner fan, but you do not have to be a GM to figure a few things out.
Jack_Zduriencik: Ronny’s past numbers suggest that he is a much better hitter than he is currently swinging at this point. He is also the only player on the club that can play all of the IF and OF positions. Making him the most versatile player on our roster. He can steal a base, he can run and as we speak he’s our No. 1 backup at SS and CF, which makes him a necessity.
#1 backup CF?!?
Man, I miss Endy.
Awaiting the day I catch a Russell Branyan foul ball. I will make love to it.

Hello M's fans.
The young man who rents the apartment above my garage said I could ask any baseball questions I have during his absence to you guys. He’s a big fan and loves this blog. I don’t have any questions yet, since the game hasn’t started, but is what he said true or his he pulling my leg? I could send them to him via email, but I wouldn’t get a response right away. This seems to be a fairly interactive site, am I right? Other than Graham’s question about Cedeno (and I wonder about that one) I haven’t seen anyone ask a question yet, so please let me know if I’m interrupting.

So the Padres announcers are trying to prove that Ichiro is a good hitter.

Catcher ERA, something like that.
His is really good, and Joh’s is really bad. Making Rob Johnson look WAY better than he is.
But I thought ERA was a bad stat, since it doesn't take into account what happens
after the pitch. What if the defense messes up, etc?
by Mrs. Robinson on Jun 24, 2009 7:47 PM PDT up reply actions
In this case, Graham is referring to the main stream media and the Mariners FO
They often say Rob Johnson is a great play caller, even though there is no real way to know if he calls a good game.

Because, as you mentioned, ERA is a bad stat
and cERA may be an even worse stat.

Krueger just said that bad teams have good hitting catchers and good teams have catchers who hit .200
So that was just an infield popup - not a bunt popup, right?
I’m having trouble understanding the infield fly rule. I thought the runner would always be safe. Now I think it doesn’t matter if the popup is a bunt or just an infield popup. The baserunner is not safe and cannot advance unless the fielder drops the ball, right?
The "Infield Fly Rule" has to be called by the umpires
and it will not be called unless the ball is sufficiently high that it could easily be missed on purpose in order to get a double or triple play. Otherwise the ball is always live.
...and now I'm here
All the infield fly does is make the batter out, anyway
No further rules apply to the runners
by Graham MacAree on Jun 24, 2009 9:11 PM PDT up reply actions
So if the umpire callx it an "Infield Fly" (by some signal to let everyone know),
whether the popup is by a bunt or a regular popup in the infield, the runners are automatically allowed to stay put even if the popup is not caught? That seems fair since otherwise the infielder could just drop the ball and get a double play throwing to second and then to first. But what about a runner at second or third, could they safely go to third or home or do they also have to wait for the infielder to catch or drop it?

When there's an infield fly called
The umpires will call it out verbally. The runners are allowed to advance at their own risk. There is no force play.
I asked earlier, about a hour into the game and now I'm totally confused.
Maybe there too there are too many circumstances where that occurs. I admit I’ve only seen bunts popped up in foul territory like the last one, which I know is an out. I’ll check out the rules, maybe that will clear it up for me.
