4/22: Open Game Thread

Tiny by Jeff on in Regular News Comment 508 comments

First Pitch: 12:35pm PDT

                   

Ichiro CF Matthews CF Ballgame 2B Cabrera SS Vidro DH Guerrero RF Ibanez LF Anderson LF Sexson 1B Kotchman 1B Guillen RF Izturis 3B Beltre 3B Hillenbrand DH Betancourt SS Molina C Burke C Aybar 2B ---------- ----------

Weaver (0-2, 15.75)         Santana (1-2, 7.63)

Don't worry guys, Jeff Weaver won't be deterred by his awful start. If you thought he was so weak-willed that he'd try to fix the problems that came up over his first two starts, well, you've got another thing coming.

"You may be tempted to add something or do something different," he said, "but staying in the same routine and working on the things that got you here is the best approach to take."

Of course, that dumbshit 86mph two-seamer isn't what got Weaver here. What got Weaver here was the success he had throwing 92mph heaters in the World Series. But what do I know? I'm just some guy. Weaver's a professional pitcher with a four-digit ERA.

Go Mariners.

My Prediction
Mariners go 1-2-3 in the first. Angels score 6 in the first.

Mariners get a hit in the second, no runs. Angels score two more. Weaver finally out.

9-0 heading into the seventh where the Mariners score 4. 11-4 heading into 8th, Mariners score 2.

11-6 heading into the 9th, Jose Guillen hits a grand slam. The next three batters are then struck out.

11-10.

Seems to be the trend, no?

This has to be Weaver's last start
Assuming he gets shelled, there's no way they'll let him stay in the rotation.

... Right?

by Katal LM on Apr 22, 2007 9:43 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Alas
I think it'll be several more starts before he gets yanked.  For one thing, with Felix out our rotation is already thin right now.  And 8 million bucks is going to convince the staff to give Weaver EVERY chance to fall to pieces before they replace him.

On a related note
Is it too early to start talking about the top draft picks for '08?

by Katal LM on Apr 22, 2007 10:37 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, pretty much
They aren't going to be in position to blow an extraa hole in the rotation.

About the only positive about this is that every loss pushes Hargrove and Bavasi closer to the edge, and that's not even an unmitigated positive.

Here's the question
Sans Felix, is the Mariners rotation the worst rotation in baseball?  I know the Nationals and Royals have terrible rotations, but so far I'd say the M's have them beat...especially considering that our pitchers are probably making at least 5x what any of the Nats/Royals pitchers outside of Meche are making

n/s
I still think the Nats are worse.  Patterson is off to a bad start which pretty much leaves Shaun Hill as there best pitcher.  They also have Jerome Williams and some guy named Chico in there rotation.

As much as I dislike the M's rotation (outside of Felix) it is not as bad as it's looked so far.  I know a lot of people aren't happy with Batista but I think when it's all said and done he'll be a decent 4 starter.  Weaver is bad but he's not 15 ERA bad, I honestly don't know what to make of the Ho.  I'm not a big Washburn fan either, but he'd probably be the ace for the Nats.

Even in terms of money, I think we still be the Nats, but it's a hell of a lot closer with Felix out,lol.

I know we've joked around about it, and we've talked it about it briefly, but what is a realistic point for Grover to be fired??

I honestly think if we come out of this division road trip 0-7 he might be gone, it would just add to the doom and gloom of the 0-11 road trip last season.

Guillen in Center
Ibanez at third
Beltre at short

Only from the "we want to win" view.
On the other side of the coin, the Mariners are doing a phenomenal job of making quick outs and giving us more time to enjoy the rest of our Sunday.

Difference between us and them.
When we get a leadoff triple in a 0-0 game, they leave the infield back.

When they get a triple in a 3-0 game, we play the infield in.

I'll say this:
Weaver's slider is nifty against right-handed hitters.

That is the only good thing I can say about him.

by Jeff on Apr 22, 2007 1:39 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Weaver's a dumbass
for insisting on a one year contract instead of the two-year deal he would have got to re-sign in St. Louis. Enjoy that job security, burnout!

Let's think about this. If people only liked sports teams because they win, then the Mariners wouldn't have any fans in the first place. Clearly we were drawn to these sorry fuckbags for some other reason.
