Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

9/26: Open Game Thread

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Kendall C Ballgame "CF" Kielty LF Lopez 2B Bradley RF Beltre 3B Thomas DH Ibanez LF Payton CF Sexson 1B Chavez 3B Broussard "DH" Swisher 1B Betancourt SS Ellis 2B Snelling RF Scutaro SS Doom C ---------- ----------

Harden (3-0, 3.79)          Woods (6-3, 3.88)

About a week ago I downplayed the quality of the A's playoff starting rotation to a friend of mine, with one of the main points being that nobody knew how Rich Harden was going to do when he came off the DL. Then he struck out seven of the 12 Indians he faced in three innings. The good news is that he'll be limited to roughly 75 pitches tonight, meaning the M's should be able to get to Oakland's bullpen if they keep things tied through twelve.

LET'S GO MARINERS!

I just watched Willie's hit from last night.

When he was getting mobed Willie was doing his best Ray Lewis impression, seriously i've watched it 5 times and its funny every time.

Rene and Willie did so well
hiting back-to-back last night that Grover wants to do it again.

This could only be made better if Joel started.

Willie Ballgame leading off
This surprises absolutely nobody.

So not only did last nights hit secure him as a Mariner for life, it also earns him the right to be our leadoff hitter.

Campillo have a shot at next season's rotation
"No."

What makes you so sure, Jeff?  Bavasi, I don't think, is ready to give up on an investment just yet.  He pushed him quite quickly from the AZL league to Tacoma for his rehab assignments.  It doesn't seem to me that Bill is gonna cut him loose yet.

DAMNIT!

by TIF @ Lookout Landing on Sep 26, 2006 9:10 PM PDT reply actions  

Keep in mind
he wasn't on the 40-man roster all year until yesterday.

Campillo just isn't a special pitcher. He'll probably hang around Tacoma next year, but I don't think anyone in the organization realistically thinks he has a shot at starting for the Mariners.

by Jeff Sullivan on Sep 26, 2006 9:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

My debate isn't...
Whether or not he deserves to.  Right now I don't think he does anymore then Baek, Woods, etc.  But that doesn't mean Bill Bavasi is just going to give up on a free agent international agent he paid some moolah for without getting what he can out of him.
DAMNIT!

Guys, we need to prepare ourselves;
Watching Ballgame in the lead-off spot reminded me.

Look, at some point the Mariners are going to have to accept one of the dozens of trade offers we will get for the Ignitor. I mean, seriously, he got 5 hits in a game! He wins games for us all the time. We just can't keep turning down trade proposals. I know it will be hard. I think it will be especailly hard on Goose. Bill Krueger will probably just quit his job. Rizzs will have to be kept away from bridges. It will be hard on all of us, but damn it - we have to accept the inevitable.

See you in a few weeks Oakland
when you lose in the first round once again.

And enjoy your title, we're coming for it next year.

Yeah, Great. They won.
