9/11: Open Rainiers Game 4 Thread

PrintThe Rainiers lost last night, and this afternoon start Yusmeiro Petit against Brett Tomko. Brett Tomko. It's really going to happen like this.
First pitch down at Safeco is scheduled for 12pm. Get your Gameday here, and your audio here. It's kind of a bummer that they don't have PITCHfx turned on for this. On the other hand, doing that might make Petit feel kind of embarrassed.

Hey thanks
for posting the audio link! Granted I’m super lazy, but I hadn’t realized I could listen. Gracias.

Yeah, so, everybody disregard this comment.
Nothing to see here.
Please don't ban me or flag me
but I’ve got photos up at the USSM liveblog.
More of a photoblog today because you all have gameday.
Comment to make me feel a bit less bluebird banter. Or maybe I’ll just comment here.
Hey, the last one is the first hit of the game!
It’s not exactly a 500 foot HR, but the R’s have two hits in this game. It was a decent swing.
Oh right, I thought it was a foul ball.
I don’t think it qualifies as badass though. Unless he still has those sunglasses on.
Sweet, that means we might be able to eat in the near future.

Oh jeez, if Jeff's prediction is going to happen the Rainiers better get on Tomko in the 7th!
What's the deal with corn nuts?

Not necessarily.
The RiverCats look like they’re turning to Travis Blackley again. I think the postulate would be confirmed if they beat the RiverCats in a game that both Tomko and Blackley pitch (even if the former doesn’t get the loss).
He got to him...or near him.
It’s technically a ball/strike call, so I kind of understand.
What was he arguing?
I can’t listen to the audio, just have gameday

Basically, Wimberly checks his swing on a pitch that hit his foot.
There were 2 strikes, so the R’s argued that he swung (if he had, that’s a K, not an HBP). The 3rd base ump said he held up.
I don't know if anyone knows this..
But you can dish out 7 bucks to watch the all of the AAA playoffs. I’ve been watching this whole series. Totally worth it.
He can't hit at Safeco? :(

One must always be prepared for the worst.

Time to be slightly relevant, Mike Wilson.

They wanted no part of Wilson.
It’s all down to…Eliezer Alfonzo.
What Would Ed Hardy Do?

Is that place cursed or something.

I had hoped that he had begin to cure himself of that, but no.
Incidentally I had someone yell at me once for pointing out that Varvaro was no longer walking the world in the AFL.

I am sorry to be so insensitive.

Wow. Walk the first two, why not walk another intentionally?
It’s not like it could possibly happen again. Haha.
Varvaro - sharp slider at 79 - not sure if that was a change to get Recker at 81. Good pitches.
Still no idea where his FBs going.
I think of him as an honorary member of the Ministry of Silly Walks.

West Tenn's game is starting soon...

With Tenbrink leading off and playing first.
Weird.

He'll have to stop getting injured, get his mechanics back to normal, and regain his fastball.

Not all of it was bad, it's just that the first pick unequivocally blew.
We got Raben, who is probably a platoon guy but whatever, Hensley who was fairly interesting before his elbow thing of late, and Lorin and Pribanic who were part of the Ian Snell/Jack Wilson deal (TEE HEE), and Tenbrink, who could actually be something that doesn’t suck.
There were other assorted items of interest throughout, like LaFromboise, Shaffer, Kasparek, Stanton, Maurer, and Savastano, not that I’m high on any of them, but they’re at least still on the radar.

Damnit Cortes cut that shit out.

Well this game went downhill fast.
I was holding out a bit of hope for the bottom of the ninth. Not so much anymore.
An inside-the-park home run?
Cripes.

He's an organizational guy.
But I like him because in the last game of the season he played all nine positions.

Not a natural CF though.
Came up as a third baseman actually.

There's Haveman, but he's been on and off the DL recently.
Played last night, and they opted to sit him tonight.
Otherwise it’s been a problem spot all season. McOwen was probably the CF, then he dislocated his shoulder, Lo was not good, Haveman came on, there were some Jeff Dominguez appearances, it was a mess.

It also shows that Campana's inside the park homer was in fact, not inside the park.
Guess they don’t have dimensions for AA fields on Gameday.
Good news everyone:
the Rainiers weren’t shut out today.
