Against the Padres.

Although you’d have to put an asterisk by it because the Padres are a joke.

I mean perfect game

MLB network is awesome for stuff like this

by Poochie on Jul 10, 2009 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And he did it!

How about that, the guy called up to pitch for Randy Johnson on the DL pitched a no-hitter. Yeah, it was against the Padres, who make our Ms look like offsensive geniuses.

Another reason why Lincecum is so great — he was mad at himself for how ‘bad’ he pitched yesterday, a no-hitter going into the 7th inning…

I show know by now to check stuff that guys on FSN say...

My bad. I parroted what FSN said when they cut to a clip of Sanchez’ final pitch. My fault for not checking.

He can't even do that right.

He should’ve been on the 2008 Mariners.

For some reason he just looks like he would be a giant douche.

Fun fact

So as a proxy for number of times stranded: (1B+2B+3B+BB+HBP)-(R+HR)
Not counting today, Ichiro comes out with 86 times this year.
Hank Blalock has 9.

by Manzanillos Cup on Jul 10, 2009 9:10 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Poor Ichiro. What a waste, we need another bat in the middle desperately.

But Blalock’s number is amazingly low.
They got too much oomph in Texas for some reason.

It would be nice

If our 3-4-5 hitters had more than like a .260 combined average

Well... Gutierrez will be up in the 8th... perhaps with men on base.

Perfect game guaranteed now.

Late, but I really liked how Olson looked

Would prefer Olson (or Vargas, or even Jak) starting over Morrow.

Why start the game with a disadvantage?

by Sam Regens on Jul 10, 2009 9:20 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Better than blind love.

I would prefer Morrow get seasoning in Tacoma than worsening our chances up here.

by Sam Regens on Jul 10, 2009 9:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Who blindly loves Brandon Morrow?

He’s still a better starter than Garrett Olson.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 10, 2009 9:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Watching his starts versus Olson's start, you could have fooled me.

I agree fully that he has the better stuff.

But he seems like a damn headcase. It may be preference, but I can’t stand watching headcases.

by Sam Regens on Jul 10, 2009 9:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

So I'm pretty new around here

but this strikes me as results based analysis.

Fuck Anaheim.

by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth on Jul 10, 2009 9:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Interesting at bat to Cruz

the first two pitches were right on the border. As is, the count was 2-0, and that’s fine. But it also could’ve easily been 1-1 or even 0-2, and then who knows? On the plus side, that home run won’t matter, on account of us.

Branyan doesn't handle pressure

Which is why he bats 2nd. Look at how many of his HRs have been solos. If he’s up first in an inning the probability goes way up.

by LauraBu on Jul 10, 2009 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Looking at BA alone is useless.

Branyan is second on the team in OBP, and his SLG is almost 100 points higher than the next-best guy. He’s been the best hitter on the team.

by Teej on Jul 10, 2009 10:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree he's awesome, but

I just don’t think he believes it quite yet himself. That he’s the guy who can crush the ball out in a do-or-die situation and win the game.

Let’s hope he rests up during the All-Star break. He seems to come out swinging after a day or two off.

by LauraBu on Jul 11, 2009 6:06 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Also, his OBP is < .100 more than his BA

It was .125 higher a month ago when he was batting .320. You can feel him getting less patient, either pressure or green-lighted to go for his personal best HR record.

Change one thing you change everything

If Kelley doesn’t allow that homer, you can’t assume we would have scored exactly two runs.

by calim on Jul 10, 2009 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You're right

We would have had more life and we would have subsequently gone out to score 3 runs to win the game

by twags on Jul 10, 2009 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's possible — maybe the infield would have been in on Langerhans' grounder and it would have been a hit and we'd have scored five

Also, Tejas might have used pitchers differently or thrown different pitches or defended differently and we’d have lost by two anyway.

Frickafracking Kelley and Wakamatsu

Yet again, Wak takes out Garrett Olson after he pitches great. Then in 1/3 of an inning, Shawn Kelly gives up 2 runs (54.0 ERA). Wak has to take some blame for this one.

Good news of the bad news is that the Ms actually rallied a bit in the 8th. Not Angels or Orioles quality rallying, but it was something.

Who was that dufus calling the game next to Blowers?

That jerk jinxed Ichiro’s at-bat! While Ichiro’s up there, this moron was talking about some minor leaguer’s hitting streak being broken.
What a gawdamn buzz-killing thing to talk about when the home team is down a couple runs in the ninth, and the 1-2-3 hitters coming to the plate!!!

Fire that jerk!
