Let's play a game.
6 Mariners have taken the hill in this young season - Felix, Bedard, Aardsma, Batista, Corcoran, and Morrow.
Can you match the pitcher to the tRA (without cheating, of course)?
0.97, 20.69, 1.02, 3.27, 5.03, 2.77.

Okay
0.97 – Corcoran
20.69 – Morrow
1.02 – Aardsma
3.27 – Batista
5.03 – Felix
2.77 – Bedard
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
50%
Lower than Morrow’s BB%!
Graham MacAree - April 8, 2009
50% even with the one gimme?
that’s not so good
20.69 – Morrow
5.03 – Felix
3.27 – Batista
2.77 – Aardsma
0.97 – Bedard
1.02 – Corcoran
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
You are now sitting at a quality 2/6
abender20 - April 8, 2009
I suddenly feel really good about this nation's defensive capabilities
pdb - April 8, 2009
I hear he's solid at Space Invaders
abender20 - April 8, 2009
Argh, I was afraid of this
20.69 – Morrow
5.03 – Felix
2.77 – Bedard
3.27 – Aardsma
1.02 – Corcoran
0.97 Batista
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
I'm getting worse, aren't I
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
at least you're in there swinging from the heels
pdb - April 8, 2009
John Mabry, ladies and gents!
abender20 - April 8, 2009
It's like the Price Is Right
“Ladies, do I have four numbers right?”
JI - April 8, 2009
Good God, I went down to 1/6
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
This isn't golf
Graham MacAree - April 8, 2009
But if it was, I'd be really good at it
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
You've tried, and you failed.
The lesson here is: never try.
pdb - April 8, 2009
Let's see...
Corcoran has been most impressive, so he has to get the 0.97.
Aardsma is probably next on the list, so call that a 1.02
Felix – 2.77
Bedard – 3.27
Batista – 5.03
Morrow – 20.69
abender20 - April 8, 2009
Also half right
Graham MacAree - April 8, 2009
Well if that's not enough clue for the rest of you, I don't know what is.
abender20 - April 8, 2009
No, I had already looked at Statcorner this morning so my answer would be cheating.
I would have only been correct on Bedard and Felix if I had guessed.
Sec 108 - April 8, 2009
0.97 – Corcoran
1.02 – Aardsma
2.77 – Batista?!
3.27 – Felix
5.03 – Bedard?!
20.69 – Morrow

3.27 Beluuuge
5.03 Aard-on
20.69 Wilford Brimley
khmer luge - April 8, 2009
Did I disqualify myself with the names
khmer luge - April 8, 2009
F-Hern was a bit lazy but otherwise not too shabby
pdb - April 8, 2009
F-Her
duh
JI - April 8, 2009
Augh what was I thinking
khmer luge - April 8, 2009
Feel-Her
tootthekazoo - April 8, 2009
Felix is a man.
Robert - April 8, 2009
Easy!
Felix – 1.02
Bedard – 3.27
Aardsma – 2.77
Batista – 5.03
Corcoran – 0.97

I can’t help but fell that this is nothing more than a commercial for e-tat corner
JI - April 8, 2009
A brilliant coup
khmer luge - April 8, 2009
e-tat corner
serving your tattoo needs on the internet since last summer!

They hire questionable employees

JI - April 8, 2009
Hire?
Matthew - April 8, 2009
I assume he was compensated in some way

That was a brilliant hirie
JI - April 8, 2009
Is a hirie similar to a prairie?
Robert - April 8, 2009
I have to receive this
Robert - April 8, 2009
lol that explains the typos
JI - April 8, 2009
lame
Robert - April 8, 2009
I didn't even link it
Graham MacAree - April 8, 2009
That's what make it so brilliant
You get a hit everrytime someone check to see if they’re right
JI - April 8, 2009
Wouldn't he get more hits if he linked it and people went there both to check if they're right and out of link-clicking curiosity?
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
Yes but that would be shameless
JI - April 8, 2009
StatCorner's traffic peaked the time I blacked out Wilson Fucking Betemit's name in a series preview.
Matthew - April 8, 2009
.97 = Corco
1.02 = Aardsma
2.77 = Felix
3.27 = Batista
5.03 = Bedard
20+ = Morrow
Rudy4three - April 8, 2009
0.97, 20.69, 1.02, 3.27, 5.03, 2.77
0.97 – Corcoran
20.69 – Morrow
1.02 – Bedard
3.27 – Felix
5.03 – Batista
2.77 – Aardsma
Edgar for Pres - April 8, 2009
Half right....
Edgar for Pres - April 8, 2009
Initial guess
0.97 = Corcoran
20.69 = Morrow
1.02 = Bedard
3.27 = Batista
5.03 = Aardsma
2.77 = Felix
ThundaPC - April 8, 2009
....
Holy crap, how did I do that?
ThundaPC - April 8, 2009
Cheating?
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
I probably wouldn't have gotten Aardsma
Without Dave’s analysis.
ThundaPC - April 8, 2009
SPIOLERS
JI - April 8, 2009
Where can I find the answers? I’m not finding tRA on fangraphs.
AlexR - April 8, 2009

ThundaPC - April 8, 2009
Proper link
Here
Matthew - April 8, 2009
Shameless promotion
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
What's next, linking to Lookout Landing or something?
seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
If you liked StatCorner, you'll find more of Matthew and Graham's work here

seattlebruin - April 8, 2009
Although good luck finding a lot of Graham's work
Graham MacAree - April 8, 2009
Oh snap
Graham MacAree - April 8, 2009
You totally showed yourself who was boss

abender20 - April 8, 2009
depends on how you define "work"
pdb - April 8, 2009
We're inside it right now stupid

And if you don't like Graham's work just look here

Hmmm
Felix – 2.77
Bedard – 3.27
Aardsma – 0.97
Corcoran – 1.02
Morrow – 20.69
Batista – 5.03
OlSalty - April 8, 2009
More small sample size fun
Bedard was worth $1.6 million for yesterday’s effort while Felix was worth $1.4 and threw three more innings. Morrow owes the team 400k for yesterday’s loss.
On the positional side, before figuring out defense, Franklin Gutierrez has earned himself nearly a million bucks for two games worth of play ($900k).
Y’know, I think all player salaries should be like this.
“Payday kid. This WAR thingy says you done good, here’s your check.”
