Game 11, Tigers at Mariners

Bonderman vs Hernandez, 7:10 pm.
In better news, Happy Felix Day.
Griffey ahead of Bradley – blech. At some point, Wak’s going to have to decide that the “moving Bradley down to take pressure off of him” thing worked and put him back in the clean-up spot where he belongs.

Georgmi: Nope.
If that throw didn’t hit Kotchman on the foot, I think he would be on second and there would have been two errors on that play.
Wait, are we sure they aren’t showing the M’s score in binary?
You did?
We scored more runs in 3 innings than in the last 4 games combined.
The Beast that is the Mariner’s offense is awakening.
Be afraid, AL West.
Be very afraid.
Even if it is binary, 3-2 should still be enough to win on Felix Day.
Why is Jack Wilson swinging at anything right now?
Today, the Mariners have scored as many runs as the Angels and Athletics combined did today. One more run and we can add the Rangers into the equation.
And, can anyone explain why Jack “Rally” Wilson is on this team? Anyone?
Yes, of course. It’s the same reason he is in MLB. It’s his glove.
You mean besides stellar defense?
Yes, his name doesn’t rhyme with Snooniesky Betanquart.
And, can anyone explain why Jack “Rally” Wilson is on this team? Anyone?
You’re kidding right? Do you change channels when we’re not up to bat? Gold Glove, baby.
Thanks, Paul. I didn’t think it was for his batting. At least he’s better with the glove than Yuni ever had a chance of being.
nvn8vbryce,
This is why Jack Wilson is on the team.
2007 UZR: -0.1
2008 UZR: 9.7
2009 UZR: 14.0
Here is why Yuniesky Betancourt is not.
2007 UZR: -1.1
2008 UZR: -12.6
2009 UZR: -20.5
His 2009 WAR was -2.2, the worst in all of baseball.
I understand all that, but I’m just a little frustrated with some of these free swingers on the club.
Aw, Yuni. 🙁 Worst in all of baseball.
On the bright side, Yuni led the league in WBR. So there’s that.
Everytime they show it, I keep thinking that it doesn’t even look anything like him. All those people are going to go home with a bobblehead, and then…
Hey, Bob,I noticed that Bobblehead on your shelf.
Yup, got it by going early to a ballgame.
Who is it supposed to be?
You know, I can’t recall. Doesn’t look like any player I ever saw.
I want to see a contest between Byrnes and Damon to see who can throw ball farther
Attendance is really 39,999?
Check out this post over on LL.
It says
Wilson is the only one on the team who isn’t seeing many pitches.
I guess I was over-reacting a little bit… this much offense was surprising me I guess 😉
Guti has the same stance as Pujols
It’s nice to see how locked in Franklin is right now.
There’s probably an optimal number of giveaways that gives the biggest boost in attendance at the smallest cost. They also have to consider how many fans they think it will bring in, lest they end up with thousands of extra bobbleheads. If you look at the promotions schedule, you can see all the companies that are involved. So if they only want to pay for 20,000 bobbleheads, that’s all there will be.
It also encourages people showing up early, which encourages concessions consumption.
Woah. I just checked in. The Ms have drawn six walks? Who are these people? Have the Cylons replaced our offense with identical copies, indistinguishable except by their advanced strike zone analysis skills?
11 runs with just 1 extra base hit, that has got to be the first time this has happened in the live ball era, right?
Will this be a trend going forward, with Felix relying on his breaking balls at home as opposed to feeding hitters with fastballs when away?
I know somebody who was waiting in line to get in at 4:30 to be sure to get his bobblehead.
OTOH, I have a few from past years that I can’t get $10 for on craigslist.
Actually, happens more often than I would have thought. In fact, the 1995 Mariners won 15-8, with only a home-run as an extra base hit.
I remember sleeping outside on the concrete in order to get the Mariner Moose Beanie Baby. (Looking online, it was a 14 and under giveaway) Several other people did as well, but they didn’t even run out. The things I had to do for beanies.
