Game 6, Rangers at Mariners

DMZ · April 13, 2007 at 6:53 pm · Filed Under Game Threads 

The M’s have the fewest games played of any team.

Kevin Millwood v Jarrod Washburn.

In honor of Dave’s trade value post, let me kick off the first yearly edition of “would you flip ’em?”:

C: Laird v Johjima
1B: Teixeira v Sexson
2B: Kinsler v Lopez
SS: Young v Betancourt
3B: Blalock v Beltre
LF: Kata v Ibanez
CF: Hairston v Ichiro!
RF: Cruz v Guillen
DH: Sosa v Turbo
P: Millwood v Washburn

Some surprisingly interesting choices there.

    Is it time for the annual ritual of asking, “What’s wrong with Ichiro” yet?

  2. etowncoug on April 14th, 2007 3:21 am

    Ichiro has just struckout 7 times in his last 3 games. I don’t remember Ichiro ever going through a stretch like this.

    Most of Ichiro’s slumps are fueled by a stretch where he gets a little too pull happy, not by him going on a strikeout binge.

    Depending on where you are staying maybe we could get down to philly or NY and catch a game……..jspsax2005@yahoo.com

    I’d dig that, but my meetings don’t end until 8:00 p.m.

    With the offense struggling, what are the chances that Hargrove pulls out his secret weapon today? Ignition!

    am i missing something or is this game starting early?

  9. _David_ on April 14th, 2007 1:07 pm

    This is like the Twilight Zone, game started, MLBtv isn’t blacked out even though there’s a different FOX game in my region, no game thread, only one new comment here…

  10. argh on April 14th, 2007 1:07 pm

    Yeah, it was like a 12:55 start. Kind of odd but HD broadcast on channel 113 is available on cable. Batista continues to display that combination of blazing speed and matchless control that has made him the darling among AARP-qualified major league pitchers.

  11. louder on April 14th, 2007 1:10 pm

    At least he got out of the inning without any damage.

  12. Troy J on April 14th, 2007 1:10 pm

    hahahah, willy has found a purpose!!!!!

  13. apunetid on April 14th, 2007 1:10 pm

    I’m feeling lost without an official game thread! This one just isn’t the same.

  14. David* on April 14th, 2007 1:13 pm

    TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURBO!

  15. _David_ on April 14th, 2007 1:13 pm

    local boy WFB gets a talking role on national TV!

  16. djw on April 14th, 2007 1:13 pm

    There’s a good job for Willie. Fox should hire him full time.

  17. David* on April 14th, 2007 1:14 pm

    He is sooo good at grounding out. So very good.

  18. _David_ on April 14th, 2007 1:15 pm

    Doyle OPS: .914
    Turbo: 414

    There’s an entire Carl Everett of difference between those two figures.

  19. louder on April 14th, 2007 1:15 pm

    Ichiro still looks bad. Glad the Mariner batters still remember all that spring training work on being patient at the plate. A nine pitch inning. Sheesh.

  20. Troy J on April 14th, 2007 1:15 pm

    beltre with another warning track bomb. how did he turn those into homeruns in 2004…..

  21. khardy on April 14th, 2007 1:15 pm

    Hey what pick do the Mariners have in the june draft?

  22. _David_ on April 14th, 2007 1:15 pm

    wait I wasn’t paying attention, did we just bat?

  23. _David_ on April 14th, 2007 1:16 pm

    320, he heated up late in the year, in the hot LA summer, when those would carry over the wall

  24. hub on April 14th, 2007 1:16 pm

    Great. So after we’re done watching Willie pop-up to 2B for a decade, we get to spend another 20 years listening to him in the booth. Thus emphasizing ‘grit’ over ‘talent’. I’ll pass.

  25. louder on April 14th, 2007 1:21 pm

    Wow, two innings and Batista hasn’t given up a run yet. Miracle.

  26. outtathequestion on April 14th, 2007 1:24 pm

    DOYLE!!!!!

  27. Pete on April 14th, 2007 1:24 pm

    DOYLE! Son of bitch.

  28. Typical Idiot Fan on April 14th, 2007 1:26 pm

    What we’re seeing now is Good Beltre. Last night he hit the ball hard twice, then popped out, then crushed his double, then hit into a double play. Yeah, he made a bunch of outs, but his first two hits not finding holes were bad luck. He could have easily been 3-5 last night with 3 doubles.

    Tonight? SafeCo knocks another one down. Bad luck for Adrian.

  29. Dave on April 14th, 2007 1:26 pm

    New thread for today’s game is up.

  30. louder on April 14th, 2007 1:31 pm

    Offense is just pathetic right now. Yuck…
