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!!

Beluga Tits liked the meatballs so much, he's recommending them to Reefer Jaw.

Baltimore since ASB: 14-8, 112 RS, 89 RA
Us: 11-13, 102 RS, 122 RA

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   0 recs

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. :(

This is one of the things
I absolutely Love and HATE about baseball.  One guy (Beltre) can absolutly CRUSH a ball, but it's hit to the deepest part of the park where a good fielder is playing and it is an out.  And the very next batter hits an easy out to a guy with no legs and he gets a double.

Ah it is truly a game of inches (espeacially if you are taling about Raul's range)
