FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

You got slurved!

Hehehe Mark Reynolds is so awesome.

RRS isn't very good.

But I guess he’s better than Olsen right now and deserves a shot. I am also glad that they didn’t recall Morrow to replace Olsen.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

Best option we've got at this point

And I still think he could be a competent fourth or fifth starter.

I'd give Sunday's start to Jakubauskas

he’s pitched decently out of the pen, and actually has been ~average the whole season by tRA.

He's been terrible as a starter

But he seems to be a step above Vargas and Olson, and Morrow isn’t nearly ready. So yeah, I’m ready to give him a spot start.

Okay so he's just looked terrible

I don’t believe he’d be above average if he continued to start on a consistent basis. He had a few excellent starts sprinkled in with the bad ones, if I remember correctly. But like I said, willing to give him another shot there.

Even his tRA* is only 4.9 though

he’s not that awful. He’s better than Olson.

So do you think his tRA* is a mirage then because his career LD% sample is so small

that’s it’s regressing towards his current, lucky results rather than what his likely true talent level is?

I also have a hard time believing that he has a true talent level of 3.6% SwStr rates, but since we know that stabilizes quickly…

This is only good news if he doesn't suck

so don’t suck Ryan. Make us proud. I hope Guti’s knees are at 100% for your start.

The bar is low after Olson's last start

Maybe we need a new metric besides a ‘quality start’. How about a ‘not sucking start’ where you don’t give up more than 1 run per inning on average?

Chicks dig the long ball.

We should assign punctuation marks to all the Ms

Langerhans - ^ (for his eyebrows and hair color)
Gutierrez -
!
Ichiro – #
Branyan – *
Silva – :
Olson – ?
Felix – $
Aardsma – +

RRS

Has been Great in Tacoma thru July. As long as he can give us innings at an OK ERA we’ll be fine.
