Game 4, Mariners at Orioles

Washburn vs Loewen, 4:05 pm.
Good chance that this game won’t happen due to weather, but just in case, here’s a game thread for you all. In reality, we might not want this game to happen, as McLaren is planning on running out his Ibanez/Ichiro/Morse outfield of doom against the left-handed Adam Loewen, and is apparently not even noticing that noted flyballer Jarrod Washburn is taking the hill for his club. Morse/Ibanez is easily the worst defensive corner outfield tandem in baseball, and could provide some avert-your-eyes cringeworthy moments. Rain might be preferable to watching that, honestly.

MORSE COWBELL!!!
Hearing “Morse entered the game for defensive purposes” was a little chilling.
lol Mike Morse… continuing to make us all look like chumps for doubting him.
ok, George, I love you, but we need this game 🙂
oh, and I think Cairo is over here
Vidro with quite an at bat here.
Two “r’s” in Sherrill…slapping my own hands there!
238: Come to think of it, Russ Davis was pretty good at hitting irrelevant home runs as well.
Yay, idiots on the field!!!
248
It takes a special player to be that good at it, don’t you think?
What the hell was going on there before Joh batted?
Some clown was out on the field and FSN won’t show it because they don’t condone it.
fool out on the field; apparently the crack security team took all that time to actually get down on the field & corral him.
“fat, drunk & stupid is no way to go through life, son”
it isn’t just FSN– MLB asks all broadcast teams to not show them, trying to keep the wannabes from trying it
From as long as took them to rope that ‘lil dogie, it could be surmised that the “crack security team” at Camden Yards has been dosing out on too many hot dogs and donuts over the winter. 🙂
246: I thought I remembered seeing some Talosians listed in the Mitchell Report! 😉
Watching the Reds/Phillies game….griffey just made the ump change teh advertisement that scrolls behind home plate because he was having a hard time seeing the ball from the outfield as the pitcher pitched.
Hmmm, on the one hand “Clutchiness” is not a measurable so it doesn’t exist, on the other hand some players excel at hitting “meaningless” home runs?
Can’t have it both ways.
There’s no clutch hitters, because if there were then one would have to ask why they let up and play poorly when the bases are empty.
There probably are, however, anti-clutch hitters, players that do not do well under pressure. They tend not to last too long in the majors, though.
Then there is Sexson, a .200 hitter who has enough power to hit one out once in awhile, if the pitcher cooperates.
Does McLaren just do stuff at random sometimes? Or does he just not think every innnig?
I love this week of the year, free baseball.
Rick Ankiel making two nice outfield plays on balls thrown by Ryan Franklin (think pitchers ever ponder that their outfielder had more raw talent as a pitcher than they’ll ever dream of?)
Justin Deuscherererer making a start for the A’s
hearing the Cleveland commentators say ‘our own Asdrubal Cabrera’
Ben Broussard hits a grannie to give Texas a 5 run lead vs the Angels
Well, let’s see…
Exhibit A: Pull Lopez for WFB, but leave Raaaauuuuuul! in against the lefty.
That’s all I need to see.
268: I think Messrs. Franklin and Ankiel try not to speak to one another, so no one would consider they are contemplating a “buy” together.
