“I’ve talked to all the teams numerous times,” said Jeff Borris, Bonds’ agent. “There’s not a stone that I’ve left unturned.”
“We were able to get him a $19.2 million contract [with the Giants] based on those 2006 numbers,” Borris said. “And the numbers went up in 2007—and yet we can’t even get him a $390,000 deal with any team. Not a single team has any interest. It makes me suspicious.”
Billy Beane proved from 1999-2002 that you can get to the playoffs w/o defense if you construct your team correctly on O. Of course, this assumes that the FO correctly constructs the team from here on out.
[11:01] Matthew: bunt here? [11:01] Graham: I dunno [11:01] Graham: Joh’s swinging the bat well today [11:02] Matthew: Yeah, I’d say no, but I’m betting Mac says yes [11:02] Matthew: Marcum’s too good with the K and Yuni too prone to weak contact to make it worth giving up an out. Plus Reed will score on any legit hit [11:02] Matthew: and he bunts. of course [11:02] Graham: HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Ok, serious? Way too many things just happened there.
Did Yuni just pick up Reed/Joh for that double clusterfuck? Jesus. A triple, or any hit to score Richie (including HR) was the absolute last thing I thought would happen there.
A friend of mine submitted a written declaration for speeding on the freeway; he was driving 93 in a 65, clearly in violation of the law. On his written declaration he wrote,”I’m not Guilty” with an orange crayon, misspelling “guilty”. The officer who cited him did not respond; my friend received a dismissal notice and his $270 in bail back in the mail. If the officer does not respond, your case is dismissed and all your bail is returned, regardless of the merits of your argument.
I actually respect the ironclad way you guys ruthlessly enforce the “no politics” mandate. It’s very smart, and I have specific reasons for really appreciating it.
It’s a small sample (which is a point I’d argue to people who thinks he should be traded based on his .avg at the moment), but I’m also wondering it’s large enough you can make some assumptions. I’m assuming no pitcher will throw him strikes with RISP, because they don’t need to.
No way. You're clearly not looking at the entire team.
Dukes, N. Johnson, Ronnie Belliard (long live the dreads!), Meat Hook, Willie Harris…these guys are not generic looking. And Jesus Flores may look like a generic latino player, but he’s 600 different kinds of awesome. The M’s WISH they had a young catching prospect that good.
And Shawn Hill is our obligatory representative from Zombie Nation (check the Gameday photo)
Made a show of it when he walked. After Raul got the hit he then turned his back on the umpire and swore. Gibbons got ejected because uh he’s a psycho.
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008

How many pitchers are signed solely for their hitting?
Meanwhile guys like Jason Bartlett and John McDonald are around solely for their defense.
R.J. Anderson - June 11, 2008
And Vidro is signed for his....
ColeFitz - June 11, 2008
Some day Carlos Zambrano and Dontrelle Willis will be outfielders
Just like Rick Ankiel.
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
They should be DHed for.
JI - June 11, 2008

This is the first time I've seen this used

It's like that last sentence was the opposite of what you really meant!
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
I've heard of this
I believe it’s called metally
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
Vidro? Really?
ThundaPC - June 11, 2008
I’m assuming you don’t watch NL baseball. Ever seen the manager have to choose between removing his starter in a 1-1 game, or letting him hit?
JI - June 11, 2008
Yeah
And that sucks ass. I’d rather see him keep pitching awesome.
patsfan - June 11, 2008
Agreed, besides that I generally dislike the DH
You got 25 men on the roster, should use more
ColeFitz - June 11, 2008
Exactly.
JI - June 11, 2008
It's a decision that shouldn't have to be made.
Regardless, leave the starter in unless he has a high pitch count, because if he gets out you’ve got the top of your order next inning most the time
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Baseball is better without interesting decsions.
JI - June 11, 2008
That is not an interesting decision, it's a stupid one.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
And also most pinch-hitters suck
Why would you take out a really terrible hitter for a kind of terrible hitter when your starter was doing good?
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
High leverage situation.
JI - June 11, 2008
Top of the order next inning
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Running out of innings.
JI - June 11, 2008
Starter supposedly will keep you in it.
That’s the rationale behind making the PH decision, you can’t have it both ways.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
My PH hitter is good.
JI - June 11, 2008
So you've got the only really good PH alive?
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
He's a switch hitting thridbaseman who hits .272 /366 /496
JI - June 11, 2008
Why is he on your bench to begin with?
And what’s the sample size?
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Teams besides the mariners have good benches. You actually use them in the other league.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/STL/2006.shtml
JI - June 11, 2008
My next best PH is a LFer who hits .301/.374 /.432
JI - June 11, 2008
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say these hitters are not actually that good
Especially player A, and you could almost write it off as a sample size thing.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Player A was a pretty decent hitter.
And John Rodriguez (at the time) would have been the 4th best hitter in our lineup.
JI - June 11, 2008
Most teams don't have the Bloomquist/Cairo shit sandwhich as their ace PHers.
JI - June 11, 2008
John Rodriguez had 183 ABs, which is not a big enough sample size to determine anything.
And plus it’s the NL where it’s easier to hit.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
HIs career numbers and ML numbers were pretty solid
classic freely available hitter before his dinged up his shoulder.
...and the NL wasn’t bad until 2006.
JI - June 11, 2008
And that's from 2006...

Someone should gif the Inglett double + error, but start it with Richie just watching the ball roll by him without making any effort.

Still. What company wants to deal with that PR?
I’m thinking on a corporate level. It would be like hiring an Enron exec.

If he's competent and the share price goes up, you think anyone would care?

He may be competent, but I doubt the sahre prices would go up, especially in this town.

Not relevant to his job.

BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Well, they're winning a game in which the best young pitcher in the majors is on his A-game
or at least his B+ game
seattlebruin - June 11, 2008
Defense wins championships
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
And thus you only need to worry about it if you have a chance to win championships

Not the gnome.

since he can use that the beat up the other two monkeys and take the stick and the banana.
And the human is dumb for being in a room with three monkeys.

Hmmm. I work with people who work with monkeys for a living.

Depends on how thick and long the stick is

A base running mistake?
or a terrible bunt that Reed shouldn’t be blamed for?
Shouldn’t have bunted anyways, but Rizz is blaming Reed here, I think that Joh should learn how to bunt.

Joh should learn how to bunt

There's really no excuse for not keeping a bunt on the ground in the majors
OlSalty - June 11, 2008
I'd say both, actually.
Horrible bunt, Reed a bit indecisive on what to do until it was way too late.
AtomicGarden - June 11, 2008
I would agree, what is he supposed to do? If it drops, he's gotta go to 3rd, if it doesn't, he's gotta go back.

I honestly believe he’s just pressing because he knows if he doesn’t drive in whatever runners are on base, nobody else in this lineup will.
AtomicGarden - June 11, 2008
I was being sarcastic, he's not pressing he's just getting really really really unlucky.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
or you know, small sample.
Matthew - June 11, 2008
Hopefully.
It’s a small sample (which is a point I’d argue to people who thinks he should be traded based on his .avg at the moment), but I’m also wondering it’s large enough you can make some assumptions. I’m assuming no pitcher will throw him strikes with RISP, because they don’t need to.
AtomicGarden - June 11, 2008
Either way, I still love him.
Just playing a little devil’s advocate.

They better put in Morrow
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
Felix
dbroncos31 - June 11, 2008
Both
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
Too much awesome
dbroncos31 - June 11, 2008
They better let Felixkeep pitching and strike out the side.
wongguy - June 11, 2008
But Closers can't pitch in the 9th inning unless leading by 3 or less
McLaren’s head just ‘splode
Lents Park Homer - June 11, 2008
They're going to regret putting BJ in the game
with a tie
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
This is the M's best chance.
BJ’s probably their worst reliever.
Llewdor - June 11, 2008
made an out on Ball 4
dbroncos31 - June 11, 2008
Yuni for shortstop....back in Cuba.
kentroyals5 - June 11, 2008
So Willie is playing RF
We have a RF on the bench that can hit better than Willie.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Wlad lacks grit
Didn’t punt for Nebraska.
Frosty Raptor - June 11, 2008
We have a water cooler next to the bench that can hit better than Willie.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
Yeah, but
It’d be more fun to watch McLaren have a tantrum and throw Willie onto the field than a water cooler.
Dave Clapper - June 11, 2008
The water cooler is also full of tasty delicious water.
I still say it’s an improvement.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
Makes no sense to take him out unless you need to PH.
JI - June 11, 2008
how is this not Balentien hitting right now?
Bearskin Rugburn - June 11, 2008
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
Somebody has been playing with Photo-editor filters
Robert - June 11, 2008
Because that would require logic and insight
bamassippi - June 11, 2008
He has to earn his reps.
Somehow he must do this without playing
dbroncos31 - June 11, 2008
...Bill Simmons?
Frosty Raptor - June 11, 2008
hahaha 4 K's for Willie
MFAN - June 11, 2008
See comment above for Ibanez
Bearskin Rugburn - June 11, 2008
So... Balentien?
Lents Park Homer - June 11, 2008
Golden sombrero
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008

Ichiro looked nailed right there

He was safe.

Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
CAAAAAAAAIIIIIRRRRRROOOOOOOO

bamassippi - June 11, 2008
but he's going to know exactly what kind of pitch he whiffed on
Bearskin Rugburn - June 11, 2008
squeeze!
JI - June 11, 2008
he listened!
JI - June 11, 2008
The squeeze is a great play
with 2 outs
Lents Park Homer - June 11, 2008
Like Cairo can get a hit swinging
JI - June 11, 2008
Safe bitches
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
No Wlad here either?
kentroyals5 - June 11, 2008
So Ichiro is fast
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
hE DOESN'T STEAL AS MANY BASES AS HE USED TOO AND HE NEVER TAKES THEN WHEN THE MATTER
JI - June 11, 2008
He risks making the third out at third base.
Llewdor - June 11, 2008
2 OUTS WHY WOULD YOU BUNT
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
more likely to genreate a baserunner than swinging
JI - June 11, 2008
I only want to win this for Felix...that's how I feel about all this.
kentroyals5 - June 11, 2008
Did he BUNT?
gameday said he walked
bamassippi - June 11, 2008
I have more faith in Cairo than Raul
why is this?
MFAN - June 11, 2008
Ryan is a LHP
JI - June 11, 2008
So we're going to see Ibanez against a hard throwing lefty, aren't we?
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
To go with Bloomquist and Cairo, no less.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
Mac would hit Raul 3rd against a prime Randy Johnson.
Happybelly - June 11, 2008
So they just sent up Bloomquist and Cairo as the 2-3 hitters in the 9th inning of a tie game
and exactly zero people on earth are surprised by this
Lents Park Homer - June 11, 2008
HAHA WFB SUCKS
Didn’t know there was a day game.
hcoguy - June 11, 2008
There must be an electromagnet in Barajas' glove
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
So, Bloomquist and Cairo back to back as hitters.
There are no words in the English language for this.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
I don't get it either, Plank.
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
HAY RAUL IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE "FACE OF THE TEAM" NOT TO MAKE AN OUT HERE
esoteric - June 11, 2008
And the funny thing is, Raul really DOES work as the face of the 2008 Mariners
Massive amounts of defensive fail punctuated by occasional spurts of offensive competence.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
Ichiro with two walks and two Ks.
Last time that happened in one game: Never.

Odds looking good

Well, I guess Raul's never going to leave the lineup again.
But at least there’s the potential of Fiddle Cat and a Felix Day win, so I’ll take it.

Wait...so can anybody tell me why the fuck Ryan and Gibbons were ejected?
Raul got A HIT. Not a walk.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
Ryan thought Cairo struck out
Made a show of it when he walked. After Raul got the hit he then turned his back on the umpire and swore. Gibbons got ejected because uh he’s a psycho.
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
I think Ryan was bitching about not getting a call a couple pitches before or something.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Ryan & Gibbons
... were ejected because even THEY can’t believe that Lopez was hitting 5th.
bamassippi - June 11, 2008
They're like "YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR BEST HITTER IN THE #5 HOLE! THAT'S RACIST!!"
esoteric - June 11, 2008
Probably because Ryan felt he had to put a ball in the middle of the plate to get a strike.
ColbyInBoston - June 11, 2008
According to Gameday Ryan has nothing to complain about re the Cairo walk.

andrewgolfsalot - June 11, 2008
Yes.
JI - June 11, 2008
You know if he gets this done
he is going to close for the rest of the year
Edgar for Mayor - June 11, 2008
Maybe they won't take him off the DL while he's still injured this time
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
Is he still injured? He should've K'd Inglett, he was throwing 97 today, and had Vernon Wells 1-2...
Also he didn’t look or act hurt after that pitch and didn’t want to leave the game.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Location still blows.
JI - June 11, 2008
His location really wasn't bad today, or vs. Manny, and he was really around the plate two days ago too.
But he was shaking his right arm so I can see why they would be cautious I guess.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
If he canget his shit togetherr down the stretch he could have trade value.
JI - June 11, 2008
Jee, that'd be nice, wouldn't it...

These pictures all seemed to be a normal size for me.
Thingray - June 11, 2008
Batista isn't an awful closer...plus it would allow Morrow to go to the rotation..
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Yeah, a guy who's fihgting a nagging injury, has serious control problems, and is losing velocity.
Sounds like a real improvement on JJ.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
Who cares?
Matthew - June 11, 2008
Batista was throwing 96 in relief. He closed for Toronto. He's really not an awful closer
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Plus the 3 outs in the 9th inning aren't too much harder than any other 3 outs.
Would you rather Morrow close and never see the rotation ever?
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
No, I just have no confidence that Batista won't suck.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
He was pretty awful in that role.
JI - June 11, 2008
54K/27 BB (Which is a 6.51 K/9 and 3.25 BB/9), 74.2 IP, 4.10 ERA, 31 Saves, 1.08 HR/9, 46.3% GBs, 4.31 FIP...
He wasn’t a superstar closer but he wasn’t embarrassingly bad. Good enough to hold it down while Morrow starts.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
assuming his control is less assey
yes, I agree
JI - June 11, 2008
of course, I'd use RRS
JI - June 11, 2008
Might as well just throw him in the rotation too.
Felix-Bedard-Morrow-RRS-Silva rotation, Washburn for Long Relief, Batista for closer. Do it, M’s.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Ehh
The way the roster is set up, I ‘d rather have a kick-ass lefty reliever than a run in the mill starter.
JI - June 11, 2008
RRS may be better than a run of the mill starter.
Even Jeff said he thinks RRS has what it takes to be the 3rd best starter on the team.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
His BB's did go down in the bullpen last time he closed. 3.25 BB isn't great but it's not terrible.
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
I'm worried that injuries could be influencing his control.

Tony S - June 11, 2008
Morrow's FB broke P/Fx
Bearskin Rugburn - June 11, 2008
Hot DAMN!
OlSalty - June 11, 2008
I LOVE YOU
PLEASE DO NOT BE OUR NEW CLOSER
AtomicGarden - June 11, 2008
I don't think you can count on McLaren NOT to do that.
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
Seriously, that's not filthy...
andrewgolfsalot - June 11, 2008
KK!!
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
KK
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
KK!
Crystal for DH - June 11, 2008
Why isn't this dude starting?
Frosty Raptor - June 11, 2008
Because he's obviously not as good as Silva, Washburn or Batista.
And how much more value as a setup guy in the 8th inning.
AtomicGarden - June 11, 2008
we have a rotation of #1 and #3 starters
Bearskin Rugburn - June 11, 2008
This team has a fetish with roles.
That goes beyond obsession.
Matthew - June 11, 2008
Because once we have Putz healthy for the ninth.
We’ll have Morrow for the eighth, Fields for the 7th, Felix for the 6th, Bedard for the 5th, and then our starters only have to throw four innings.
andrewgolfsalot - June 11, 2008
Goddamn has Morrow ever made the next move up this season.
I don’t care if he gives up a 2 run HR here to Overbay. The general results speak for themselves.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
watch your mouth dude
Bearskin Rugburn - June 11, 2008
Okay, how about this:
HERE COMES THIS BIG FUCKER TO STRIKE OUT THE WORLD.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
Ugh, I kind of had a voice in the back of my head
hoping that Morrow would lose the game… Now Mac is going to use him as the closer…
Burn the tree
LantermanC - June 11, 2008
Time to add Morrow in my
[Deleted: No Fantasy]
bluemax - June 11, 2008

JI - June 11, 2008
Raul didn't drop that?
ThundaPC - June 11, 2008
Wow.
Happybelly - June 11, 2008
I pretty much thought Ibanez would fuck that up.
phew
AtomicGarden - June 11, 2008
RAUL!!!
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 11, 2008
I bet the FO is going to start grooming JJ to start now....
Boydo - June 11, 2008
Delicious irony
OlSalty - June 11, 2008
Buhhh?
Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
DRAMA! M'S WIN!!!
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
haha, I thought that was gone
MFAN - June 11, 2008
IBANEZ DEFENSIVE GEM? DOES NOT COMPUTE
esoteric - June 11, 2008
I want a GIF
(was it really that good of a catch?)
bamassippi - June 11, 2008
How is waiting under a flyball and catching it a gem? Oh wait you said Raul. Yeah, what a play!
BrettJMiller - June 11, 2008
Ahahaha, I'm just going by Dave's radio call...the way he was screaming it out it looked like it was either surely gone or a base hit.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
It was hard to tell because of the shadows.
JI - June 11, 2008
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
2 more days til bobblehead
bamassippi - June 11, 2008
FELIX WITH THE WIN....weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Eyebrows - June 11, 2008
Wow. Awesome!
andrewgolfsalot - June 11, 2008
As much as I still love Lincecum
I’m pretty excited about how good Morrow can be, if only our organization would give him a shot.
LantermanC - June 11, 2008
They won't.
Matthew - June 11, 2008
I've been a M's fan for a while
but not an M’s fanatic…. so I still have the slightest bit of optimism in me, however foolish that may be.
LantermanC - June 11, 2008
Fan...is...short...for....
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
Fantastically stupid?
Matthew - June 11, 2008
Fanny?
LantermanC - June 11, 2008
A series win while scoring a total of 6 runs?
Does not compute.
ThundaPC - June 11, 2008
heh.
hcoguy - June 11, 2008
Didn't somebody call that?
Eyebrows - June 11, 2008
Not the winning part.
Matthew - June 11, 2008
Its Toronto
Their bats are almost as terrible as ours.

YAY! 6 runs scored total in Toronto for a three game series!

MARINERS WIN THE PENNANT!

Graham MacAree - June 11, 2008
I still want to know where the hell this originally came from.
That really does look like a primitive Mickey Mouse there in the second bit.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
Look here.
JI - June 11, 2008
If I had seen this as a child I would've been scarred for life.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
I am scared for life. Uh, scarred.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 11, 2008
We all are, but not because of this movie.
JI - June 11, 2008
Because of this site, no doubt.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 11, 2008
I think you are scarred, then you become a regular here.
Not the other way around.
JI - June 11, 2008
I may watch it someday.
JI - June 11, 2008
LATE
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
Wow it's raining hard at the Euro cup.
Field looks flooded
andrewgolfsalot - June 11, 2008
From ESPN Gamecast
‘It’s like playing in a pond’ say our friends on TV. The ball is now starting to stop halfway through a pass.
Sounds like they might call the game.
bluemax - June 11, 2008
Switzerland just scored on a ball that stopped in a puddle
halfway through a pass. They’d have scored regardless, though. I hope they continue. Thank Jesus for 7 day weekends.
andrewgolfsalot - June 11, 2008
USA! USA! USA!
Suck it Canada!
JI - June 11, 2008
Uhhh...
Mentenk: “Felix went 21 straight innings without allowing an earned run!”
Sims: “Well, that’s what they pay the big bucks for.”
Ummm…what?
ThundaPC - June 11, 2008
300k is a lot of money
LantermanC - June 11, 2008
I hope he knows something we don't.
“Felix, impressed with the Mariners organization and dedication to winning, signs a 7 year extension for however much money he wants.”

Rays victory dance sampler for the M's
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
Bitch you stole the first one from us.
esoteric - June 11, 2008
I didn't steal it
It was Tyler.
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008
I made that one
But I stole the video from a DRaysBay diary so you guys have equal ownership.
OlSalty - June 11, 2008
Needs more flashing lights
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 11, 2008
Flashing lights give me seizures and tickets.
I vote no.
Thingray - June 11, 2008
I thought you banned Skeet Skeet
Orlando Rays - June 11, 2008

BrianL - June 11, 2008
Well I'm back, what did I-
Jesus Christ we won?
BrianL - June 11, 2008
The lack of Strasburg Christmas Miracles is disconcerting :(
seattlebruin - June 11, 2008
I wouldn't say we won
so much as we failed at losing, considering who was batting in the 9th inning.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2008
It's come full circle
The Mariners are so bad, they fail at losing.
Orlando Rays - June 12, 2008
...My Giants buddy just told me the club should bring Dave Henderson back as a color guy.
I think a little piece of me just died.
BrianL - June 11, 2008
Think of the $500
seattlebruin - June 11, 2008
BTW are you actually going to get paid?
seattlebruin - June 11, 2008
He sweats bullets every day.
BrianL - June 11, 2008
Did Raul say on the post game show
That it was too bad Felix didn’t get a win?
Wow Raul…
The Typical Idiot Fan - June 11, 2008
He did get the win by the way of us scoring in the top half of the 9th.
Susheel Ramasahayam - June 11, 2008
Poor Raul.
Senility is hitting him hard.
BrianL - June 11, 2008
I know we all want strasburg
but its been nice to see the return of the king lately. Now if only bedard can join the party.
