Holy shit, how did "The Paperboy Delivers!" not get used in the game thread today.
I am disappointed in us all.
You're dead to me.
Jeff said it, I think.
Then saved the picture for the chart.

I don't get it. Can someone clue me in?
I feel like William Tell, or Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet, pulling mussels from a shell.
Im confused too
I’m guessing either Josh Wilson or Saunders is “paperboy”…
I fault Lopez for his out
I fault Brumley for Guti’s. >:(

after yesterday’s ‘triple’ I can see what the reasoning was.

Is there a 3rd base coach that people actually like?

Absolutely not

Time to give "wilson" some capital letters?
"It just goes to show how much talent there is in our minor-league system." - Jason Vargas
He's the little Wilson.
As compared to the bigger Wilson.
...and now I'm here
I know
but I worry the lowercase letters denote a lack of ability.

Thanks, sunshine.

That's actually the opposite of a normal Seattle sports fan
but thanks for trying to make me feel more welcome and assimilated

Well you do start out in the welcoming committee when you are a rookie commenter right?
At least that’s what I was told when I signed up.

So Ryan Langerhans is a walk machine,

Wow a day I'm not able to watch the game and this happens.
I should try not watching more often.
Well Tacoma got shut out today
Seems like we can only have one good team between the Mariners and the Rainiers
I need to run a thought by people that has been bothering me.
Assuming average pitching staffs, would a team of Manny Ramirez’s (all bat, no glove) do better or worse than a team of Jack Wilsons (all glove, no bat)? For a long time I’ve felt that they could even out, but recently I’ve been thinking about the so called “diminishing returns” of defense, as well as how runs are scored:
- Manny Ramirez team can hit double after double and score 10 runs in an inning.
- Jack Wilson team can hit two singles in a row and is still not going to score.
I picture an all offense, no defense team finishing games winning with a score of like 14-8, while all defense no offense team finishes games losing with a score of 3 to 1. I’m starting to think that offense may be becoming underrated again. Someone talk me out of it? I’m aware that a “run saved is as good as a run scored” obviously, but run scoring is also not independent, and I think you need more offense to get the runs that are required to win the low scoring games.
Winning 8 to 1 today sparked this idea so hopefully this is not considered off topic.
...and now I'm here
Basically.
Or if perhaps the “Runs Saved” calculation is inaccurate. Really anything. Just thoughts on this matter in general. But yes, your response was the essence of my comment, though I’d replace “independent” with “more independent than offensive contributions.”
...and now I'm here
I have a way to elaborate on this as well.
An amazing defensive outfield will still not stop all things like extra base hits, home runs, walks, etc. So the team on offense will still be able to score runs even against a great defense. But a team that can barely hit singles and generally sucks isn’t likely to get that kind of offense support.
This is in addition to, not in replace of, the thoughts I mentioned earlier.
...and now I'm here
So, is Vargas' sample size becoming large enough to conclude his not terrible?
Maybe even kinda good?
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Yes, this has been covered in the recaps and recently got a post all of its own
FIP takes some time to become meaningful, but core stats like strike rate, strike swinging rate, and ability to face opposite handed hitters will stabilize quickly. He doesn’t have the fastball to be a real ace, and durability is still a question, I think. But he’s shown that he has enough command of his FB and excellent change to get legitimate outs when he needs to. He’s the reason everyone hated the idea of signing Washburn.

The last time he posted one was before Cliff Lee's debut
The time before that, we were going into Chicago.
Yes, we have a coupon.

When Bedard gets back this team is going to have 5 aces.
...and now I'm here
Might as well go with a four-man bullpen then
which means three more spots for DHs! Paging Jermaine Dye, Gary Sheffield and David Ortiz
This team is going to win the 2004 World Series so hard.

The Mariners scored more runs than the other team.
What does that mean? I forgot.

I'm not sure.
What is the opposite of losing? I can’t remember the word.

The Mariners are now 5-0 when using the pink bats.
In those games they average 6 runs a game (9, 2, 6, 5, & 8, respectively), on 11 hits and 1.8 HRs.
In conclusion, let’s always use pink bats.
Brandon League had 3 Ks in .2 innings!
That’s a K% of 150%! A K/9 of 40.5! AMAZING

So glad I went to the game today with my mom.
I was next in line to get Brandon League’s autograph before the game. Then a douche crewmember said that was enough autographs and pushed him and me away. Noooooooooooooooooo.
