Articulate, interesting, actually offered some insight into the pitching and play on the field (and not just about his at-bat, either). Mostly steered clear of clichés too. Don't know if he was too pumped up by his performance to leave his brain on automatic pilot, or he hasn't yet had "be personable, bland, and offer no new information" beaten into his head by management, or he just hasn't done enough interviews to be bored by the whole thing yet, but his interview was as good as his pinch hitting.

He'll have 4 or 5 appearences where he's unhittable and then he'll have 1 or 2 appearences where he's terrible, walking people and such. Doesn't mean we should run him out of town. He's doing a fine job so far in relief, considering he was injured last year and that nobody in the Mariners blogsphere or fanbase expected him to be even on this level. Re: 225

I know Nellie is on the roster and Hargrove has to use him but Nellie's line shows 4 innings pitched, 5 hits, 4 BBs, 4Ks for the season. Nellie's next trip should not be to the mound, it should be on a one way ticket out of town. # 217 – I am also glad the mgr will yank a pitcher when needed, but I worry about a mgr that puts home boy Nellie in the game.

Villone is lookin' good. Bloomquist cannot play center field. I’m glad to see in the paper this morning that Nellie officially earned a “Hold” for retiring one of the four batters he faced.

The fact that they have the other three so high is based more on the fact that they had them ranked higher to begin the season. Except Texas. Not sure what they are doing with Texas.

The Angels lost 2 of 3 to the Royals. The problem isn't the 24th ranking, its the spots those other teams are in. Ok and the A’s have been mowed down by powerhouses like Tampa Bay and Toronto.
