The Detroit feed was hilarious for that pitch.

And then on the Kotchman homer, “Well, that’s what happens when you throw a fastball right down the middle, but apparently that’s what he has to do to get it called a strike.”

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

Niehaus was pretty hilarious on the radio during that whole thing, too.

I love it when Niehaus gets mean and borderline vindictive on the air, does my heart good.

There's a typo in this post

It says the Mariners scored eight (8!) runs.

The !

Is showing surprise. Not factorial. Just to clarify. We did not score 8! runs

by Jamee999 on Jul 4, 2010 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes, that would be about 40,320 runs.

That would be a surprise indeed.

You have to wonder if the lineup was purposely saving their run support for Cliff Lee.

Washburn is jealous

In the last 3 Cliff Lee starts the Mariners lineup has scored 23 runs

They are starting to score to get Cliff to stay next start they probably score 12 or 13 for the guy

81 games = halfway through the season

Mariners have won 34 games. This is with Vargas and Fister pitching better than expected + Cliff Lee at his best.

Will they lose 100 games?

No

I think they're a .500 team the rest of the way out, even after the downgrade from Lee to Bedard/whatever we get back from Lee

by BigR on Jul 4, 2010 2:13 PM PDT up reply actions

That requires the team to go 28-53 in the last 81 games. Good for a .346 winning percentage. Even though Vargas and Fister pitched better than expected and even though we had Cliff Lee we spent the month of May wasting those performances so getting less out of those spots doesn’t automatically mean our record will get will get worse.

This also means we some how play worse than the 2008 team (which had a 12-game losing streak in September). No way is this team is worse than 2008.
