Hernandez (4-4, 4.11) Harden (1-1, 1.17)
Over his career, Rich Harden has allowed just 13 hits to current Mariners in 115 at bats. Richie Sexson's .692 OPS is the best of anyone with a decent sample size. This could easily turn out to be one of those games I'm glad to be missing.
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Just think if he wasn't injured so much
I believe he is on a 70 pitch limit today. The M's should take that piece of knowledge and not hack away.
But this is the M's, so I expect Harden to throw 70 through 7.
9000 abouts...
It's early. Way, way, way too early.
I feel pretty good about this game
by the way,
if we lose like this, i may be forced to kill someone
I have a good feeling about this game
The Mariners needed last night's win like the stock market needs to not crash.
My favorite part of last night's game

Rich Harden at 70 pitches
And you saw how the game ran away from them as soon as they brought in the bullpen. Too many of their relievers are out of action to make that thing a strength.
I'm going to the game today!
today's celebrity lookalike
the actor's name is rick moser. Here is a picture of him (not from the movie where he looks like Ben, obviously).
so..
We may never now if Felix mixed his pitches today, hopefully Oakland has all that PFX for gameday.
I wonder how much of the game we'll be able to see
How much? Try none..

If that 70 pitch count
Annnnnd
Vidro is done
good job by Raul and Ichiro
Vidro is worthless
Just imagine
that could've been a huge inning
OH HELLS YEAH!!!
I'll take that first inning
YANKS-Angels
I don't want the Angels to win.
Wish the M's were on so I didn't have to have this stupid game on.

I thought Vidro was a professional hitter
Professional Defensive players adjusted to him

oh god
...too bad the game isn't on TV.
by mary on Jul 7, 2007 1:20 PM PDT reply actions
this is awesome
excellent, excellent sign!
Hello Oakland,
Now cmon offense
OK what gamecast are you guys using?
by mark s @ Lookout Landing on Jul 7, 2007 1:24 PM PDT reply actions
first inning pitch analysis - (incomplete)
93 5" brk 9" pfx
94 5" 11"
88 7" 1"
95 6" 10"
82 10" 4"
Batter 2:
92 6" brk 10" pfx
Batter 3:
90 6" 11"
85 8" 9"
93 5" 12"
91 6" 10"
91 5" 13"
seems to me to be very different from his Bad Felix - 'throw a ton of fastballs' strategy.
thoughts?
Low 90s, I seem to think

unless he is getting that

man opening day was fun

This. Is. Glorious.
Mariners being smart
Get Harden out of here in the 3rd.
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:25 PM PDT reply actions
Hooray taking pitches
WELCOME BACK BELTRE!
There's a reason you see
"Dan Haren is 0-2 with a 0.69 ERA"
or
"Joe Blanton is 35-7 in his career when he gets more than 1 run support"
A's can't hit for crap.
47 pitches through 2
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:32 PM PDT reply actions
Oh well
GAH
Grr.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but GO YANKEES!!!!
I <3 Felix's early batter breaking pitches.
I ♥ Beltre!!!!
Beltre OPS = .818
They were being pretty patient against Gaudin
They're really coming to form
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions
Vidro will only take 2-3 pitches
holy shit he went deep again?
beltre is awesome.
Is this game not televised?
Nope
I'm forced to watch old man Clemens try and beat the hated Angels.
Not a terrible game but I'd much rather see the Mariners.
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions
as long as he mixes the fastaball
idk
oh and fuck you vidro
Dont look now...ok, look now
God I hate the Angels
mabye putz will hit 106 on that gun
Felix mixing speeds and pitches
Whaaa......
Looks like Felix told that person in his ear
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:42 PM PDT reply actions
Bye bye Harden
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:44 PM PDT reply actions
I wish I could see this patience
Yeah
So whats so special about this Harden guy?
actually
by kbdub on Jul 7, 2007 1:45 PM PDT reply actions
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL!!!!!
fuck you rich harden you suck
productive out!
It's a shame we couldn't win
Not to look too far ahead, but it would have been awesome to go into tomorrow's game looking for a sweep.
Why is Sexson still batting before Beltre?
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:48 PM PDT reply actions
Perfect execution of the game plan
and with that...
That was FUN!
Not on the field
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:54 PM PDT up reply actions
well I agree on the field
its a slump
Willie is probably more patient
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:56 PM PDT up reply actions
Willie is not more patient
by Scruffy Lefty on Jul 7, 2007 2:08 PM PDT up reply actions
i hate the yankees
Who gets the start tomorrow?
by Mariners in 07 on Jul 7, 2007 1:56 PM PDT reply actions
Fear gets the start
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Felix
This is frustrating..
QUIT CALLING HIM 'FERNANDEZ'
Felix' ERA under 4 again
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 2:01 PM PDT reply actions
ns
Yep sounds about right
That's the signature of the '07 Mariners!
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions
This game now has the feel
I sure hope we dont let DiNardo
and no K's through 4
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Slightly larger strike zone
Pitchers duel in New York
It would be so awesome to only be down 1.5 at the AS break.
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 2:12 PM PDT reply actions
And que Dave Sims to state the obvious
All I have to say is
by TheMarinator on Jul 7, 2007 2:14 PM PDT reply actions
I was at the Blue Jays game on sunday
why?

3-run HR for beltre?

Another Yuni popout?

no kidding
King Felix
Posada leadoff double!
So I'm slightly concerned
So is there any TV coverage of this game?
by bpdawg24 on Jul 7, 2007 2:51 PM PDT reply actions
Hey guys!
both
of course, no one can see but thats what im hearing
great pitching
The A's have spoiled many a nasty K-out pitch.
by JI on Jul 7, 2007 2:59 PM PDT up reply actions
great inning
afterall, he looks sharp and the break is coming up.
Im down for that
white sox shutting out the twins
I hope Felix starts the 8th
i feel the same way
he looks too good. and the break is coming up.
we need to establish the McLaren philosophy of long starts. and so far so good.
I love Mac...
The hitters are tons better
by JI on Jul 7, 2007 3:12 PM PDT up reply actions
Wait.. is that?... yes it is!
112 pitches?
by BaltimoreMarinersFan on Jul 7, 2007 3:07 PM PDT reply actions
Standing Ovation for King
I still think he looked better in games 1 and 2
The King may have returned!
Now just give me JJ
I agree
by BaltimoreMarinersFan on Jul 7, 2007 3:12 PM PDT up reply actions
also agree
Let's go Yankees
by BaltimoreMarinersFan on Jul 7, 2007 3:11 PM PDT reply actions
heh
Damn our offense
14 LOB by the M's
Not sure I understand Sherrill here
More reason to hate Swisher....
by BaltimoreMarinersFan on Jul 7, 2007 3:17 PM PDT reply actions
Swisher's gameday pic
will agrees
cust looks like a gremlin
so, barring a 2 out collapse
No matter what happens tomorrow, this was huge for the M's and probably puts the A's out of it.
Definitely a huge blow to the A's
by seattlesundevil on Jul 7, 2007 3:23 PM PDT up reply actions
Seriously....
Jeff is the
well, ok, Felix will get the Cy Young
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Sherrill rules.
Beltre is the fucking man. He rules
Apparently
Forgot it was a day game
Oh and Adrian Beltre Rocks!
in between, but definitely more King.
he mixed his pitches very well
All in all, I'd say it was good Felix.
Cool! I like Good Felix
It's a happy Saturday
They really should have had this one on FOX
What would you rather see
JO-JO VS Boomer or Felix VS Harden?
Neihaus picking MVP of the ballgame...
pause
"Jason Ellison"
hearty laughs from him and Sims
"haha no really, I'm takin Felix in this one"
i was just explaining
thank god cabrera popped out. time to regress to the mean.
LET'S GO YANKEES!
hopefully MLBtv as the game on archives
Angels/Yanks go to bot 11, someone end it!
Come on A-Rod whack a dong!

How did he phrase it?

He just sounded
haha Felix just said
Thank you Raffy Chavez!!!
God bless Dave Cameron!!

holy shit
this is a huge deal.
raffy chavez is a god as well
Wow
This is beyond awesome.
Good.
Until the Yankees start a fire sale and admit they are dead, I fear them, and would like to see them lose. Lots.
by eponymous coward on Jul 7, 2007 4:26 PM PDT up reply actions
LL!
Congrats and thanks to all who help reinforce this advice to Felix!
Now can Dave Cameron...
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?

Dave won't be the only one..
by seattlesundevil on Jul 7, 2007 4:25 PM PDT up reply actions
FIVE FUCKING ERRORS TODAY?!
Huzzah.
Hey, A-Rod, enjoy the rest of your Yankee career- you front-runner! :D
by eponymous coward on Jul 7, 2007 4:29 PM PDT up reply actions
That's my point.
From the franchise with the best record ever. Because they have ONE down year. Delicious.
by eponymous coward on Jul 7, 2007 4:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Now I get it.
I dunno if A-Rod will opt out. I'm not 100% sure he'll get 4/$88m or better somewhere else.
by JI on Jul 7, 2007 4:40 PM PDT up reply actions
he'll get a bigger contract
by Scruffy Lefty on Jul 8, 2007 10:03 AM PDT up reply actions
at least it's against the yankees
red sox up 2-0
Plus the more the Yankees lose the better, I think they're done, but you never know with them.
oops I thought A-Rod was due up for some reason
by JI on Jul 7, 2007 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions
It will be interesting to see
Felix and the Internet
Chavez cuts in saying they've been trying to hammer the same idea into Felix's head for a while, but a fan in the stands passed him a printout from an Internet site, and he thought it might reinforce the message, passed the message to Felix, who basicallly said "I read you". And then he did what he did tonight.
Confuckinggratulations to Dave or whoever wrote the post that triggered this. Who it was was, fortunately, not named in the broadcast. Everyone rejoice.
Like I said..
melky cabrera
come on mr intangibles
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
yeah, its weird
His clutch reputation is based upon
In extra innings
captain homo
ahh whatever
we can * hopefully * win tomorrow, and the yanks have penis going so hopefully they can win
The King is back!
Of course.
We may be able to finish them off for good tomorrow.
