I don't know what's worse
How bad Aardsma has sucked, or the fact that there is literally no one in the bullpen who could probably do any better.
We're 23-38 WITH Cliff Lee
This does not bode well
It takes an uncomfortably long amount of time for me to reach the ToC
I didn’t reach it in 2004 until Freddy Garcia was traded.
Apparently I have yet to reach it. I can still feel pain. I'm like a Trent Reznor song.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Dark, depressing, and completely fucked up?

Trent Reznor is an asshole.
No judgments on his music or those who like it, but some people I work with have been douched all over by that guy.
After going seeing some old friends, I got home at about 7:45 or so. My instinct was to turn on the Mariners game, like I usually do.
Instead, I’m watching Ponyo and Veer Zaara. And holy fuck was that a better decision than watching the Mariners.
I read this as "Beer for weeks!"
Guess I know what I need.

I thought I was there
But these assholes are screwing with me.
You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.
Let me check.
Nope. Still bad.
You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.
I'm honestly not there and I can't figure out why. I want to be there. I want to not give a shit.
I still get sucked in.
Impressive
I admit I got excited when Bradley went deep and then kind of stared at the TV after it was over, but I’m not actually mad that we lost.

I didn't come around to rooting for them to lose until the Oakland series in 2008

Think there's a difference between rooting for them to lose, and not caring what they do
by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 11, 2010 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't root for them to lose; I do prefer, however, that if they are going to lose then they make it spectacular, like tonight.
Embrace floorlessness.

You were only rooting for them to loose short term.
Because well, we all saw it, you wouldn’t be losing a lot with Strasburg on the mound.
by Mariner Melee on Jun 11, 2010 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think I'll actively root for losses
Even the whole “Race for the Strasburg” thing never really did it for me. At least this one had enough of an air of inevitability that it didn’t hurt like those Angels losses.
You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.
Do we even know who the number one pick is going to be next year?
For the past 2 years its been a no brainer since April the year prior.

For some reason, I can't find the article.
But yeah, Rendon. I wouldn’t worry about it too much though, we’re not getting him.

Mariners baseball motherfuckers.

I'm just laughing in my capacity as a Nationals fan.
Strasburg keeps me happy and sane the same way he must frustrate a lot of other M’s fans around here.
Embrace floorlessness.
I started yelling and clapping when Milton hit the homer, and some guy turned around and started berating me.
Easily the most active Padres fan I’ve ever seen. It was wonderful!
Too bad teams don't evaluate using xFIP.
He’s regressed is HR/FB rate (god, ‘cause no one predicted that shit, right?). Yet his walks are down and his K’s are up.
Year: FIP | xFIP | HR/FB
2009: 3.01 | 4.12 | 4.2%
2010: 4.37 | 4.04 | 12.5%*
*does not include tonight’s game
12 saves in 16 opportunities, 12 “shutdowns” to 5 “meltdowns”. I mean, really, the DA isn’t doing that bad.
And to be fair.
That one against the Angels was terrible luck. Two missed strike calls on Matsui and the ball coming out of his glove on a would-be game ending DP.

David Aardsma makes my heart yearn for Emiliano Fruto.

I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
2009 was Bobby Ayala's 1994.
Okay not really. But Ayala does get a bad rap, I mean, he sucked, but still, he wasn’t the only one.

It's a shame that Josh isn't younger.
Or else I could see this as not being a fluke.

I feel sorry for Aardsma.
Compared to last year:
LD% is down (20.8% vs. 18.0%)
GB% is up (34.0% vs. 25.3%)
BABIP is about the same (.268 vs. .271)
K/BB is up a tad (2.57 vs. 2.35), although his K/9 rate is down (8.53 vs. 10.09)
He’s basically getting killed by the following:
HR/FB skyrocketed obviously. (12.5% vs. 4.2%)
LOB% plummeted (63.8% vs. 77.5%)
Seems like his results went from one extreme to the other even though he’s basically been the same pitcher as last year? We’re not able to measure someone’s heart in the game so I hope that’s doing alright!
The K rate decline is pretty upsetting.
When you’re a flyball pitcher, the less people make contact, the better.
Oops, yeah.
Jason Motte’s K/9 went up by two today, so a couple dominant performances by DA could put his K/9 back where it should be.
What the hell people, this is awesome.
1 loss closer to the #1 draft pick!
I don't have a solution but I admire the problem.
by the other side on Jun 11, 2010 10:43 PM PDT reply actions
I would normally agree.
But I’m also invested in David Aardsma performing well, as a D.A. with lots of saves and a shiny ERA is worth more to 29 other teams than the Aarsdma we’ve seen of late.
Ooh yeah, I guess that is shitty for us.
I don't have a solution but I admire the problem.

No, it's not.
It’s fucking annoying and I’m tired of people telling me I should think it’s hilarious. I get that it’s hilarious to other people and I don’t hold it against them, but it’s in no way hilarious to me.

I don't think the people who tell you it's awesome actually think it's awesome
I think they’re just looking for something to say.
by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 11, 2010 10:49 PM PDT up reply actions
I didn't say it was hilarious.
I just think since we aren’t going to be good we might as well get some nice prospects out of it.

I think its a matter for some people that if they don't laugh they cry.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
I laugh so hard I end up crying anyway.
Because fuck this team.
I will never find it to be funny
Although I’m kind of indifferent at this point

We aren't going to catch Baltimore, so it's not even worth focusing on in my opinion.
Just know we’re probably going to add a really good college pitcher next year and don’t waste your time watching the standings to see how bad we are.
I don't know,
Baltimore has some good young players it will probably call up here pretty soon, while the M’s don’t. Also, Cliff Lee is not long for Seattle, so that makes us even worse of a team. It could be close.

At least Adrian Beltre is murdering Red Sox outfielders
Or so Jeff tells me. I like to think it’s on purpose.
You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.
You've been on LL longer than I have.
From what I’ve gathered in the last several months, this is what we do around here.
