Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

8/1: Open Game Thread

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Figgins 3B Ichiro CF Cabrera SS Vidro DH Guerrero RF Guillen RF Anderson LF Ibanez Spasming Corpse Kotchman 1B Beltre 3B Matthews CF Broussard 1B Izturis 2B Johjima C Mathis C Lopez 2B Willits DH Betancourt SS ---------- ----------

Weaver (7-5, 3.68)          Felix (7-6, 3.85)

There is absolutely no way that a loss tonight doesn't drive us crazy, not with the Angels' lineup and the starting pitchers on top of that. This game will either make us want to gloat or go drink some bleach.

Also, this is neither here nor there, but I'm pretty sure Jered Weaver and Reggie Willits would blend right into a Sally Struthers infomercial. Eat food. Preferably some of Vidro's.

Go Mariners.

McLaren: Whose $14 million slugger is this?
Pentland:  it's our's.
Broussard:  C'mon, John, I'm hitting so much better!
McLaren:  He still works!
Broussard:  Yeah, but I'm hitting better.
McLaren:  HE'S A FIRST BASE SLUGGER, HE'S EXACTLY THE SAME.
Broussard:  ::makes contrite face::
McLaren:  You know, there are some teams that don't have a veteran first baseman at all!  ::turns on water, makes Hillary Clinton sneer::  You remember that mister!

McLaren rewards vets for trying
by sending them up to PH in key situations where they can really look foolish.

Someone screen cap that AB on gameday. The only pitch he didn't swing at was the one in the strike zone.

Felix is making me nervous
with the rib grabbing.. hopefully its just a bruise and no hairline cracks or anything

by seattlesundevil on Aug 1, 2007 9:14 PM PDT reply actions  

I see that too
but it doesn't seem to be affecting his pitching.

That's the thing about waiting, Willits.
Some pitches are strikes. Sit your white ass down.

I'm beginning to see a pattern emerge
on good felix starts.

He begins the game pounding the lower half of the zone and getting quick GB outs. Through the first 4/5 innings, you're likely to see a few singles, maybe a walk, less than 2 Ks and like a 3 GB/FB ratio.

Then after cruising through the lineup twice or so, Felix switches it up and starts unleashing the whole arsenal. Over the next 2/3 innings you'll see a hit or so, maybe another walk, but like 5 Ks and about an even GB/FB ratio.

suck it willits
this is awesome felix tonight. 1 bad pitch, and a LOB% of 0. He has been victimized by a few dink hits, and the one bad pitch.

and of course a very generous double
