PrintThere once was a time when we were incredibly pissed off over how often Jose Lopez bunted. I wouldn't mind going back to those now. He's our cleanup hitter!

For some reason they've been making the guests go away in the middle of the game.
This happened with Wilson when he was there too.

Yes
Buhner was on the radio during that time.

Obviously Mike Blowers gets jealous.
He’s like a puppy with a brand new chew toy. Or in Scruffy’s dog’s case, a poop covered sock.

God dammit don't bring in White
Wak is so horrible at managing the bullpen

Blowers: "I think I had nine (stolen bases) for my career; how 'bout you?"
Bone: “Thanks for bringing that up.”
Jesus
Blowers had 7 SB and 8 CS. Buhner had 6 SB and 24 CS.

If you look over an entire game
things balance out and runs really tell you a lot. Sure, there might be better metrics, but if I only had one, I’d want runs.

Vargas and Fister are feeding off each other?
Get that image out of my head.

Any news on Bradley?
Or just the vague ‘calf tightness’?
It's 4/20, he had to celebrate at some point tonight.

He can't catch up to the fastball, why throw something offspeed?
by seattlebruin on Apr 20, 2010 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Because his changeup is amazing
and Izturis was timed to the fastball
He's gotten himself jammed on several so far in this game
by seattlebruin on Apr 20, 2010 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions
e.g. if he could have hit it, he would have hit it by now
by seattlebruin on Apr 20, 2010 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions
Meh
It’s a judgement call, but his changeup is his best pitch and it’s an 0-2 count, I’d just throw it down and in and watch him whiff.
Haha. Didn't realize Johnson wasn't playing
Until Moore hit that double. (But in my own defense I haven’t been able to follow the game.

Eric Byrnes.
That much prancing has to be for something.
Makes the most sense to me that he leaves.
Gives us a lefty and a true long reliever in the pen.

Judging by White warming up...
We’re going to get the loaded chamber.
This has been a boring game.
Least we are winning though.
Fister/Vargas vs. Baltimore: 14IP, 6H, 2R, 2BB, 8K
I’d be okay with more Baltimore on the schedule
No it wasn't

Now I really want us to face Red Sox
Baserunning owns them apparently
If I remember correctly
Varitek simply cannot throw. And Victor Martinez ain’t much better
Players considerably uglier than Wilson:

Sean White is quickly becoming my new Matt Thornton.
And that’s not a good thing.

That is a refreshing change from the bullpen meltdown.
Carlos Silva is latin for "Let the buyer beware".
Sounds like their type of player.
Speedy, but can’t hit a damn.
Mathis to the DL?
Will Napoli get to play now?

I hope not
It would be fantastic if Scioscia still didn’t play him
You would too if you saw what he was wearing.
He was asking for it.
They were always better.
Losing Mathis forced them to play Napoli.
For the same reason we play Rob Johnson?

Not to cheer injuries, because that's classless.
But Nelson Cruz left the game with a pulled hammy today as well.
That's not good,
He must stay healthy for my fantasy team.

Anybody have a clue why Lopez is still the cleanup guy?
Now that Bradley is hitting, can’t we put him back there?

He'll be like our 4th best hitter in the lineup. So, yay!

It didn't look green enough.
Maybe I missed the Mariners pastel blue and green hats for Easter
No, that's everyone else's Griffey.
Our Griffey has been dead and buried for the last 5 years. Our Griffey is never coming back! =(

All sorts of wacky combos tonight!
Moore/Wilson, Griffey/Byrnes
Carlos Silva is latin for "Let the buyer beware".
Is there a unwritten rule?
That you don’t try to pick off the runner on a 3-2 with two outs when you know he is going. I feel that you could get that 3rd out easy by just picking the unsuspecting runner off.
Not a strike

Yes.
Sometimes a subject line alone is fine for short communication. But generally, it just makes things easier to moderate and follow.
I'm relatively new here myself, but the rules are pretty easy to follow.
This post has all the basics, and one of the comments has been “rec’d” into greatness. It’s worth reading. Welcome to LL.
We're more lenient with guys who have a good posting history
Usually when we say it we’re just informing new posters of the site rules.
In a major league baseball game, the Mariners are repesented by three seperate, but equally important groups. The offense who score the runs, the defense who prevent the runs, and the DA who closes out the ballgames. These are their stories.

For a guy who throws exclusively fastballs and walks a huge amount of batters.
You’d think he’d get harder and give up tons of runs as a result.
You got slurved!
I feel almost comfortable when David Aardsma comes into a game
If you had told me that three years ago I would have laughed at you
I miss hearing Thunderstruck in the 9th.
So does Ess Jr.

And it was a Doilie.
Single, SB, advance on foul out to 1st, sac fly.
That's depressing.
