101011 in binary is 43, the number of Mariners losses!

Even more incredibly, we only lost one of those games

by lemonverbena on Jul 3, 2011 4:37 PM PDT reply actions

Fucking Doug Fister.

Pitch better.

And that one game was lost on a 3 ball walk.

by M'sFanatic on Jul 3, 2011 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions

That one game was lost because our offense is terrible.

There's various ways of looking at it.

But there could have been a chance, that we ended up scoring in the tenth.

by M'sFanatic on Jul 3, 2011 5:16 PM PDT up reply actions

There is also a chance Maybin hits a home run on the next pitch he sees if he didn't "walk."

Playing these “what if” games is pointless. Let’s just move on.

Wow I didn't catch the game by box score was exactly as I though it'd be:

Top 5 in the order; 5 hits, all RBIs and Runs scored
Bottom 4; 7 strikeouts

Anyone know

where I can find updated WAR stats?

by Rochestie4ever on Jul 3, 2011 5:38 PM PDT reply actions

Fangraphs updates their WAR stat nightly, usually after 1 a.m. though.

Alright game to be at. Crowd was packed.

All the casual fans had no idea who the pitcher was, glad to be there for his 1st Major League start and victory.

If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.

I understand.

i laugh when i’m at games and casual fans make ignorant remarks about the team or players, when they clearly don’t know what they are talking about. I went to the braves game last week and when Felix had given up a couple hits in a row (we were down 4-0) this older lady behind me says," uggg this pitcher is horrible". I wanted to go today, just to see Beavan. I’m just glad we didn’t lose a series to the one team that is just as bad offensively as we are.

One Braves fan behind me thought Felix didn't care

Because he didn’t button his shirt all the way up.

by skjes on Jul 3, 2011 7:57 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions

Somebody at one of the Marlins games turned around and said "I don't get this King's Court". I had to explain to him that the pitcher on the mound for the M's was indeed "King" Felix.

by StealthHawk on Jul 3, 2011 8:40 PM PDT up reply actions

Well, it was a Marlins home game after all

And the last time Florida had a King, he lived in Spain.

It's going to take me a while to learn "Beven" I've been saying it like Beaver over a year now.

by plish on Jul 3, 2011 6:20 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs

How is "Beven" and "Beaven" said any differently?

by MattoB on Jul 3, 2011 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions

One is Beh ven and the other is Bee ven.

by Kirk on Jul 3, 2011 7:14 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs

The former rhymes with "seven", the latter with "even".

Funny, I always read it as Beh- ven

We do.

We need offense.

Carp's back home

Home Run in the first for Tacoma. If only we could think of a team that could use power like that in the majors…

by bookbook on Jul 3, 2011 8:00 PM PDT reply actions

But, Peguero!

Please tell me this is sarcastic.

by Zwakamatsu on Jul 3, 2011 8:28 PM PDT up reply actions

AAAA is A-ok with me.

Carp’s at least one A better than any of our other LF options right now…

by bookbook on Jul 3, 2011 9:16 PM PDT up reply actions

I know people say he didn't get a chance, but he really didn't do anything great in the ABs he got.

by SethGrandpa on Jul 3, 2011 10:18 PM PDT up reply actions

Doncha think a guy should be given the chance to get in a groove?

by M'sFanatic on Jul 3, 2011 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions

Well I don't think he's got the talent to hit big league pitching with any power or consistency.

And he did nothing to dissuade that. Even despite Peguero’s more glaring faults, I can at least see that he’s got big league power.

by SethGrandpa on Jul 3, 2011 11:10 PM PDT up reply actions

He didn't do anything bad either.

Smacked a ton of line drives and showed plate discipline. Also, 42 plate appearances. 42!

by Matthew on Jul 3, 2011 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions

Now we're subjected to bad at-bats and poor dental work in Carp's place.

by Matsui on Jul 3, 2011 11:02 PM PDT up reply actions

I know it's a super small sample size, but in watching them I didn't see anything that made me think, "oh he's got potential to be an everyday regular."

At least Peguero flashes one clear big league ready talent (power) even if the rest of the skillset lacks.

by SethGrandpa on Jul 3, 2011 11:13 PM PDT up reply actions

Piguero is awful and I hope he goes down soon. His at bats are horrific.

I would rather see Carp play than Peguero. Did you see the stuff he swung at today?

by Shmelix Shmernandez on Jul 3, 2011 11:31 PM PDT up reply actions

Not to de-rail the subthread but Halman's last AB just crushed me.missed on the same breaking ball out of the zone three times in a row. Were his other K's as bad?

by SgtSasquatch on Jul 4, 2011 12:11 AM PDT up reply actions

Power doesn't help much without plate discipline

Swing% happens to be one thing that stabilizes quickly, so it’s one of the few things that we can fairly use in comparison with Carp (at the MLB level, anyway). Carp swings at 29% of pitches outside the zone, which isn’t great but puts him right next to Kennedy on these Mariners (and in the company of guys like Shane Victorino, Nelson Cruz, and Matt Kemp league-wide). In contrast, Peguero swings at 48% of pitches out of the zone. That’s…that’s just terrible You know there are only four guys on the Mariners who swing at more out-of-zone pitches? They are Michael Pineda, Doug Fister, Felix Hernandez, and Jason Vargas. Carlos Peguero basically has the plate discipline of an American League pitcher.

I agree with your point.

But it’s useful to remember that the “zone” is subjective from game to game. To be clear, everything I’ve seen and read tells me Carp is more deserving right now of a major league position than Peggy.
