Game 46, Mariners at Athletics

Jakubauskas v Anderson. If you’re reading this, it means that I didn’t get back from my bike ride in time to post the lineups and open a beer before the game. I’m a little sorry.

Waiting to see the lineups from Baker, but Branyan is sitting today.
[you can't do that]
Endy rather than Wlad against a leftie?
So if the A’s keep on the trajectory they’re on, does Beane trade Holliday by July, or hang onto him for the draft picks?
Following a bike ride, it is always best to rehydrate with a frosty cold beer.
Griffey batting 4th vs a LHP, ugh.
Have to love his splits though:
vs LHP, 20ab, 3 hits, 3 hrs, 6bbs, 7so. .150/.346/.600!
Wlad should be the DH though.
Yanks are pummeling the Rangers down in Arlington, so that’s a good start.
Ichiro!
Can’t they come up with a better Memorial Day tribute than red hats?
bunt, bunt, bunt….oh, hell, I’m losing my enthusiasm for this bunting.
Ha ha! I only missed an out. And there’s a guy on second. How… okay!
But you were in time for Beltre’s strikeout. Lucky you.
I don’t think Rizzs always hears what he says.
“Adrian was hitting in the 2-hole for a while, ’til he got fixed …”
Ahhh, Anchor Steam. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The Widmer ad sounded good on a warm day.
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Man, you think things went sour for the M’s in May? The Blue Jays had the best record in the AL for a while, until they discovered they still had to play teams from the AL East. They got swept by the Red Sox, swept by the Braves (not the AL East, granted) and are now on the verge of losing their seventh straight game, this one to Baltimore.
So many bobbled balls.
These guys are making rooky mistakes and plays.
I have no beer.
I have no wine.
I have coffee and freshly baked butterscotch brownies, however.
These teams couldn’t give a defense and baserunning clinic to Little Leaguers.
Giambi is soooooo skinny.
The A’s don’t have to be able to hit if the M’s keep up this sort of defense. They can just walk, steal and take advantage of errors to score.
A complete piss poor inning for the Mariners. Both sides of the ball.
The ad for the tracer with Brad Adam looked like it had a video error, but he was just standing behind a screen.
The ball and stike calling is just awful today. If this keeps up
over then season I may come around to the automated balls and strike calling.
C’mon, guys, the idea is to get further from the cellar, not closer.
Thats one way to make up for a bad inning Kenji.
That’s what I’m talking about.
Haha, it looked like everyone stayed sitting in the dugout at first to screw with Kenji. He kind of had a funny look on his face then they all popped up to high five him.
Kenji is never going to live down the footage of him grimacing while putting on socks, is he?
That’s the kind of thing that ends up on Jim Rome is Burning FOREVER.
Nice knock, though.
Why can’t I post lineups?
I was thinking the same thing, I didn’t see anything when I just browsed through the guidelines.
Beltre didn’t lose that on the transfer?
*sigh* I miss you edit button. Thank you replay…good call….
This isn’t going to work for today’s game. Apparently, I’m not allowed to say Ugh, Ugh, Ugh over and over again; it’s a duplicate post.
Damn………….
This is going to be ugly today. Yikes!
So, in a double play you can record an out although you never touch 2nd base, but tagging someone out and having control of the ball until after the runner is out is not an out. Is that right?
bleh…just turned on the game…the score….the red hats…just bleh.
To bad, That was ugly. All FB to lefthanded heavy lineup. Jak could not get anything over the plate off speed.
Ichiro still makes me smile…
Kenji limping into the dugout.
Just because you get in a good hitters count doesn’t mean you have to swing at EVERYTHING Yuni.
Adam Kennedy would sure be useful to the M’s right now.
But realistically they didn’t have a roster spot for him, they needed the extra pitchers, if Johnson isn’t the back-up catcher, somebody else would be and Cedeno makes too much money to cut.
Steal home!!!!
Sweeney’s bald?!
How does Ichiro keep making that baserunning error, over and over again. If Griffey’s ball drops he can walk home. He has to get to third after the catch, and really the runner on first should take second with the CF back pedaling.
The steal makes up for some of it.
Kenji needs to go on the DL and Clement needs to be brought up.
Bald-ish.
Clement hasn’t been catching; his repaired knee became swollen, and so he’s been just DH-ing.
Bruised left big toe for Johjima.
I just keep remembering the gushing from fans elsewhere about what a great find Jak was. Reality bites. Again I say, ugh, ugh, ugh.
I blame the red hats. I keep wondering what teams are playing when I look up and our fielders are wearing red hats.
Pitching change to Denny Stark. I assume Batista’s still warming up. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Good thing I hustled back. Wouldn’t want to have missed a second of this. Yuuuup.
Wow those red hats are hideous! Matches the Mariners colors sooooo well. Ugh you know things are bad when you are losing to the A’s.
At least Yuni seemed a bit frustrated by his trademark pop up.
What is it with him and popups? Is it because he goes after that high fastball?
Wow Beltre was robbed and Griffey smoked that ground ball. They just couldn’t catch a break this inning.
If those red hats are somehow supposed to be a Memorial Day tribute, I’d like to hear the rationale.
Jeez, Rowland and his pornstache is finally off my TV, and now it looked like Giambi suddenly noticed his old man gray beard and has added some Just For Men color to it, turning it into his own pornstache.
Nice, Holliday advanced to second thinking Giambi had walked when it was really ball 3 and was tagged out.
Wow that was absolutely pathetic, can’t score sweeney….
F’ing Morrow.
could somebody get Simms a note that it’s “Brandon” not “Brendon”?
The red hats symbolize the Mariner’s offense bleeding to death
When Morrow starts showing that he can do something positive then it’s worth the correction.
While we’re on that subject, let’s give everyone who covers MLB a note telling them that Kenji’s family name is pronounced “Jo-jee-ma”, not “Jo-jim-uh”.
Brandon Morrow’s year – he scores a runner on a strikeout.
but the way they’ve been playing, it may be the ONLY thing easily corrected.
Tribute schribute, its for merchandise sales.
3 infield hits in a game for one guy (Ichiro) – is that a record?
Trade Betancourt!
could someone let Beltre know that he does not have to swing at EVERY pitch!
I can’t STAND Yu Bet … he is more embarrassing to watch than Michael Richards stand up comedy.
Get him OUT OF MY FACE
High cheese from the M’s #1 draft pick middle reliever….
Why wasn’t Morrow credited with an earned run with the run that scored on that wild pitch? Did someone reach on an error?
Buck.
M’s defense this year: A comedy of (t)errors.
That is the worst major league baseball game I have ever seen. I mean ever. I can’t think of a close second.
I love my Ms, but this is not a better squad than last year’s.
Wow.
Beltre holds onto that ball on the play at 3rd and Ichiro catches that fly. Different game.
