Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

8/7: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

First Pitch: 4:05pm PDT

                   

Ichiro CF Roberts 2B Vidro DH Patterson CF Guillen RF Markakis RF King Awesome 3B Millar 1B Ibanez Spasming Corpse Tejada SS Sexson 1B Huff DH Johjima C Mora 3B Lopez 2B Hernandez C Betancourt SS Payton LF ---------- ----------

Weaver (2-10, 6.32)         Trachsel (5-7, 4.97)

In 20 starts, Steve Trachsel has a 0.70 K/BB ratio. The next-worst over the past three years? Steve Trachsel in 2006, at 1.01. Of the three things a pitcher needs to do to succeed - throw strikes, miss bats, and keep the ball down - he does exactly none of them well. He's also deathly slow. Say hello to the worst skillset in baseball.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Well
It seems to me the M's have been doing better of late against the pitchers who just plain suck.  

It always starts with "Damn this guy can't throw strikes, we're screwed."  But I'm not too concerned.  

That said the M's need to win about 15 of their next 20 for me too feel good (BAL, CWS, MIN, CWS, MIN, TEX).  And figuring Ho is gonna start 5 of those I'm a tad worried.

See my post upstairs.
Baltimore is actually playing pretty well since the ASB, and if you look at Pythag, they project to a 56-54 record; we project to 54-55.

This is a more even matchup than it looks like in the standings, IMO.

by eponymous coward on Aug 7, 2007 4:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

We'd do even better if we'd play Adam Jones
Especially against a guy like Trachsel who's way less effective against righty hitters.  So far this season, he has allowed:

.220/.367/.345 by lefties.
.325/.356/.506 by righties.

So naturally, McLaren lets Raul play instead.

Awwww shitballs
Glad to see the kid is getting playing time. Using him this sparingly almost makes we wish Jones was still in Tacoma. If they stunt this guy's development, I'm gonna be seriously pissed.

I would take Myers in a heartbeat.
The guys had extraordinarily bad luck in his career as while he's not a flyball pitcher (47.2%/32.1% GB/FB% career) he's allowed about 15% of those flyballs to turn into homeruns. If only they DFA'd him. :(

You can say that about many players.
Aaron trudged through some tough hitter's eras, I think his record is more impressive even if he isn't the better player.

I'm saying his last 2 years
were Willie Mays with the Mets bad, as in an embarrassment.

He also played in Fulton County Stadium, which was a hitter friendly environment.  Bonds played much of his career in Candlestick, which was cold, clammy and offensive death.

by Gomez on Aug 7, 2007 7:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

Cuts both ways
Bonds played in the expansion era which brought about more HRs thanks to the lack of quality pitching to go around. Tough to compare historical stats.

Never have liked Bonds, never will.  Honestly, glad it is over, because I was getting tired of hearing about it.  I wish he had pulled something or worse...

I've been a baseball fan for longer then alot of you have been alive (yeah I'm an old fart), and I've never cared about personal achievements in the game.... didn't care when Ichiro broke the record for most hits, didn't care when Ripken broke the iron man, and didn't care when Bonds took the homerun title.  I'm a baseball fan because I love the game of baseball, the game where 9 men are on the field doing everything they can to the best of their abilities to beat the other 9 men they're playing against.

I have a theory.
Detroit and Boston both did badly when they played us at home.  I believe they've been starving and dehydrated since they can't trust any food or drink that enters Angels stadium.  The reason the Royals swept us is because all they usually get is seawater and moldy bread anyway.  This also explains the Angels insane home-road splits.

Too bad he had to taint that with steroids.  This is why I'm not celebrating or watching.  It may be Selig's fault that nothing was done about steroids ten years earlier, but nobody forced Barry to take anything, and I'm positive he did.  Bad role model for the kids watching the sport.

As far as the Angels go...still hate 'em.
