Regression to the mean on those one run wins

That and our bullpen only had to pitch in one of those three games…

What can you say?

Its a good day for the sports-goggle wearing Mariners.

Goggle Eyed Islanders ruled this day

You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.

and no pitcher to face!

Unless you count Corky Miller.

It seemed like more than that too.

It looked as if every pitch he threw, the batter swung and looked foolish.

He was so-so.

Didn’t get very many close calls.

Given how he's been? I'll take it

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

8 swinging strikes, 2 Ks, a HBP and 3 walks through 6.

He was gassed after throwing 96 pitches through six innings and Wak put him in for the 7th and he promptly walked two guys before being pulled. He wasn’t great, but he made tremendous progress today against a team that hits well.

There was really no reason for him to be in in the 7th

Belief System, etc; but there’s a point where you’re hanging your starter out to dry.

You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.

by Drew_D on Jun 20, 2010 4:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

He's the best reliever in the pen and RRS was gassed.

Who would you prefer in that situation? Your options are Sean White, Chad Cordero, Shawn Kelley, Brian Sweeney, Garrett Olson, or Aardsma.

Meant RRS shouldn't have been in

I’m 100% completely ok with league coming in in the 7th.

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 struggling to stay below the Tropic of Cairo

Which is amusing after seeing him DH for the Reds on Friday.

Why am I even having hope?

When I know that I will be hurt once again?

This win streak is done once Carlos Silva takes the mound.

Hahhaha man I haven't laughed in a while.

Thursday is either going to be awesome or shitty. There is no in between emotions when it comes to that game.

by LeftArrow2 on Jun 20, 2010 11:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Same here.

He needed this badly. Lets see if he can build off of this.

by LeftArrow2 on Jun 20, 2010 11:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Baltimore seems stacked with young talent

Hernandez, Jones, Markakis, Tillman, Simon, Weiters, Matusz should all have a chance to contribute. Guthrie, Ohman, Berken, Scott and Wigginton should all be decent trade bait, and all are performing well.

How the hell is this team challenging the 2003 Tigers?

by Fuckmikereilly on Jun 21, 2010 2:22 AM PDT reply actions  

Because most of the talent isn't ready?

Talented sure but right now Wieters and Jones aren’t hitting well. Garrett Atkins has sucked the life out of first base. Tillman has gotten shelled. And some guy named Luis Montanez has a negative .8 WAR in only 58 PA’s.

by Kenneth Arthur on Jun 21, 2010 10:56 AM PDT up reply actions  

Luis Montanez?

Fuck that guy.
