PrintMichael Saunders, Ryan Langerhans, and Ichiro are good. Rob Johnson is the absolute God damned worst player of all time and I would take pleasure in gutting him.

Let's gut Rob Johnson....together.
I feel like William Tell, or Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet, pulling mussels from a shell.

In that case
We’d round up all the pitchers ever to have a fastball down the middle dropped by Rob Johnson

Well he missed September of 2008

I'm never going to watch it again so as not to ruin it.
I feel this way about most things from the ’80s.
Judging by a recent experience with Big League Chew, I say this is wise.
Just let it exist in your mind.
I watched it recently with a friend.

So...what happens when Milton gets back?
Because if Colome is still on this team and Saunders isn’t, well that would just be plain ridiculous.
I miss him
but I’m hoping his absence, which has allowed Langerhans and Saunders to shine, will ultimately do us much good in the long run.
I am hoping it allows us to go back to the original bullpen plan.
Or allows us to cut Sweeney.

since you want to rosterbate...
how do you propose they keep Saunders, Bradley, Langerhans, Griffey and Sweeney on the roster when Jack Wilson comes back off the DL?
Oh, you must have meant the far end of the bench down at Alki Park. Gotcha.

The easiest solution here is to cut Sweeney or Colome and demote Tui.

You know that, and I know that...
you actually expect them to do that? (and the original rosterbater kept both designated huggers in his “when Milton comes back” scenario)

Those are guys we already have.
I thought ‘bating is more of a "why don’t we trade our shitty players for these good ones" kind of thing — things that are highly unlikely to happen. Milton’s coming back.
i don't see the mystery here
Playing with your roster = rosterbation.
Also unlikely to happen = Milton coming back, Griffey and Sweeney on the bench and Saunders AND Langerhans on the team, unless one of them can be the backup shortstop as well.

Wade Davis and Austin Jackson are probably the current favorites.
Not much after them, unless Justin Smoak starts hitting or Cleveland decides to call up Carlos Santana.
Which is really absurd.
I have to think Cleveland is only doing this to delay Santana’s free agency.
Heyward will have some serious competition when the Nats call up Strasburg.

Gives up a lot of homers for a groundball guy. Bad luck on FB/HR? And bad luck on guys getting on-base on K’s too.
Hard to tell. Honestly, I don't think so
but it merits a review
It looked like the fan bumped Saunders.
Isn’t that interference? Actually Saunders might have bumped the fan.
No, the ball was in the crowd.
Saunders reached over the wall and probably would have caught it, but it hit some kid first. It was a legit HR

Further:
I don’t see much of a difference between the two. They’re both solid relievers who, like every reliever, are going to have awful days.
it's May 13...
David Aardsma, your best reliever a year ago, has seen two appearances so far this month. That’s not acceptable.
Further, Brandon League has pitched now, 7 times. Even if you think League is better, there’s something wrong in that ratio.
If I want a big strike out, I’m going to Aardsma and his 9 K/9 vs League at 5.5 K/9. And before you start screaming small sample size crap, it gets worse when you go to previous years.
Not sure what you guys want, but less League and White and more Aardsma and Kelley will balance out the workload and put the better pitcher on the mound more often.
If you have justification for League working practically every other day while Aardsma gets entire series off, I’d love to hear it.

The reason it gets worse as you go further back is because he didn't have the most unhittable pitch in baseball in his arsenal until recently.
Brandon League is definitely the best reliever on this team and David Aardsma in Camden Yards would not be pretty, what with his extreme flyball tendencies.
What happened today was a big surprise but I’d have almost been expecting it with Aardsma.
I don't really get the tone, but anyway . . .
I’m only responding to your comment that it’s “inexcusable” that League has pitched more than Aardsma.
David Aardsma was our best reliever last year. Brandon League was not on the team last year. Brandon League is just as good, if not better. I just don’t see the big deal in using a good reliever more than a different good reliever. Sure it’s not perfectly efficient, but we all know Wak saves his closer for save situations, just like pretty much every other manager. It’s not ideal, but this team has so many problems that I can’t for a second get worked up about a good reliever pitching too much.
This is why I hate Lopez lazily hacking at the first pitch last inning. NO LEAD IS BIG ENOUGH YOU LAZY FUCK!!!!
Not that the blame doesn’t fall squarely on League, who also might have assumed victory and didn’t bring his best.

Five feet is a whole human body or about two steps.

When the throw was made I thought he was out by a lot.

Saunders isn’t as patient as Figgins so that comparison is moot right from the start and secondly, the pitches Saunders swung at were reasonably close to the zone.
I wasn't comparing anybody
Just not trying to tell the future, just as Mike Brumley shouldn’t have (if that was what he was doing when he sent him).
Saunders went up there and swung at the second pitch from a guy that couldn’t find the strike zone against the remains of Junior Griffey… and started him off with a ball. I’m not saying Figgins would have done that, I’m just saying any manager worth his ass would have instructed a player to take a couple pitches.

Ok, a little miscommunication here I think.
I am not a Brumley fan. When I said he can justify sending people through his methods, that was a criticism of his methods. If you’ve seen the spring training video of him describing his system he developed, it’s pretty annoying. He says he has developed his own system for evaluating the defense and game situation. Which, apparently, goes against conventional baseball wisdom sometimes. I don’t think this is the worst send, but it was so shallow that a good throw wasn’t necessary (which is a bad time to go).

Just because it's probable doesn't mean it is happening.
Rob and Moore both came up in the same organization too. They both learned from the same coaches or a least similar coaches. They could have very similar game calling strategies.
Even if they aren't calling it from the bullpen,
I thought one of the main reasons was the language barrier as well? Moore speaks English, he can actually catch the ball and he’s not any worse of a hitter. There’s still no spot whatsoever for Rob on this team.

It is because that limits flexibility the next inning.
I know Griffey sucks and all but he can walk sort of still and you can’t pinch hit Moore when you’ve already taken out Johnson. Also, Moore is pretty bad a defense too from what I’ve seen.
But there's no need for that inning (possibly)
if Adam Moore catches that ball when Jones struck out.

So have we decided whether the GS was FI yet?
FSN didn’t seam to replay it from a good angle to tell.

He might have caught it
But it was over the fence so its hard to call it fan interference.

Pretty sure it was legit
Should definitely have been reviewed, though.

Almost certainly wasn't interference
but it was close enough that it has to be reviewed there. Worse still, I think Saunders catches that if not for the fans.
I can't believe there were fans

This was my reaction.
Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

Seriously
If this weren’t a promotion night we’d have won this game.

5:30 for me.
But yes, it was just a slip of the tongue that I was trying to defend.

Man I'm at work and had been listening to the game and now ...
…. I just don’t want to do anything but cry and not do work.
The first legit series of runs we score and we lose. Awesome.
Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

We need a Miguel Cabrera type player to make the playoffs.
This team just pisses me off. The bullpen is only good when we are losing.
