First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Lofton CF Ichiro CF Young SS Vidro DH Teixeira 1B Guillen RF Sosa DH Ibanez LF Diaz RF Sexson 1B Byrd LF Johjima C Kinsler 2B Beltre 3B Laird C Betancourt SS Kata 3B Lopez 2B ---------- ----------

Millwood (2-4, 6.62)        Washburn (5-4, 3.22)

A lot of what we perceive to be bad pitching is actually bad luck. For Kevin Millwood, it's bad pitching. Among 72 AL hurlers with at least 30 innings pitched, Millwood's 5.24 FIP ranks firmly in the bottom quarter, right between Joe Kennedy and Ramon Ortiz. Thank goodness there're only three years and $40.5m left on his contract after this season's up. The Rangers better hope that this is all a factor of his trick hamstring, because otherwise, sweet sweet mercy.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

I don't see anywhere that says he went to the
hospital...  Just says he got a bloody lip. Wasn't much in the way of real punches anyway.

From the ESPN article that CO posted
"Carlos Zambrano and catcher Michael Barrett shoved each other in the dugout, then the pitcher busted his teammate's lip in the clubhouse so badly that Barrett wound up in a hospital."

They went at it in the clubhouse a few minutes after the scuffle in the dugout.  I'd like to see video of that.

Other reports claim
that Barrett followed Zambrano into the clubhouse and confronted him again. That's where the real punches were thrown and his lip was bloodied.

Texas...
is currently tied for first with the Royals in the Pedro Alvarez race.

Throw in that KC is young and likely to improve later in the year and Texas is, old, injury-prone, and awful, and they've got to be considered the front-runners at this point.

If the Ms are out of it late this season, it will be time to start thinking about running out every scrub in the lineup against Texas.  More than any other consensus top talent in years, I really don't want to see Alvarez playing for a non-Mariners AL-West team at any point in his career.

Longest hit streak for Mariners
Only 24 games, in club history?

Seems like that is pretty low. Wonder how other clubs stack upto that. A meaningless stat, but nevertheless I'm curious.

In any event, wonder what dance Courage will break out when and if Ichiro breaks it tonight.

by TheMarinator on Jun 1, 2007 6:04 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

According to baseball-reference
There are 42 hitting streaks of 30 games or more in baseball history. I didn't go through and determine how many clubs are represented in that, but it seems pretty likely that 24 games is very much on the low end of things.

why do they keep mentioning it?
first off, it's not that unusual for first basemen in general to not commit errors.

secondly, it's not even unusual for Sexson, he only committed one error a piece in 2005 and 2006.

Nevermind.
For some reason I thought you were there. Don't ask.

I'm pretty sure Teixeira's fine. The ball bounced off of the grass and Kenji's glove before it got his helmet.

I was there yesterday, I'll be there Sunday, but I've got somewhere to be at 9pm tonight so I figured I'd watch the start of the game... and only got out the laptop to follow this thread when I saw Courage The Bobblehead.

sometimes I can't decide if it's better or worse watching on TV.  I wouldn't have noticed that the ball hit Teix's head if I'd actually been at the park.

by Deanna on Jun 1, 2007 7:56 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The way I figure
watching on TV: guaranteed to see Courage. At the game: chance to meet Courage. I take the latter every time.

well, but
that also requires going all the way down to the Mariners dugout and not getting stopped by snippy ushers.

Damn.
And with the tie game, it'd be stupid to call for the bean pitch.  That's beanworthy if you ask me.
