Game 75, Mariners at Braves

DMZ · June 22, 2008 at 9:30 am · Filed Under Mariners 

Carlos Silva! v Tim Hudson. 10:30.

… uhhh, that’s all I have. Not a particularly interesting number, it would seem.

Update: wow, second game in the Riggleman Era and he turns in one of the worst lineups of the year, and that is a tough challenge for him to take on:

Ichiro-L
Bloomquist-R
Ibanez-L
Vidro-B
Reed-L
Betancourt-R
Clement-L
Cairo-0
Silva

I know Beltre’s out, but… this is as deliberately bad as anything McLaren ever turned in.

If you tuned in, saw that lineup, weighed the likely outcomes with Silva pitching, and turned off the TV, I wouldn’t blame you at all.

Larry Stone, in the Times:

I think I’m going to revive my “reverse lock” theory of a couple of weeks ago and call another Mariners’ victory, because this lineup shouldn’t have a prayer against Hudson.

    Good match-up tomorrow.

    Felix vs Santana.

    Wooo.
    And Met’s lineup vs M’s lineup too.

    Offense totally overmatched by Hudson today. Tomorrow, Johan Santana. Look for Willie to be in CF tomorrow. Look for Felix to lose a pitcher’s duel.

    And, just like the old days, Tim Hudson seems to still have the M’s number…

    Though back in old days, the M’s would at least find a way once in a while to win the other games in the series that he wasn’t pitching.

    edgar for mayor — sorry, I shouldn’t take frustration out on FSN. Tough season…was looking forward to a nice summer of enjoyable baseball.

    No its ok, I was just making a joke ;). I don’t enjoy the FSN broadcasters anymore than the next guy. They are on TV to entertain the average fan, and so they really don’t have to be that much smarter than that fan. They bother me sometimes, but I just laugh at them, cuss and walk away.

    Felix is the only Mariner with the ability to rise to an occasion. 27 strikeouts in 81 pitches may be needed, though, and perhaps he’ll have to hit a home run himself to win it.

    don’t forget the scintillating friday match-up …. Washburn vs Baek.

    Felix. Ohhhh Felix. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways….
