Needs more cocaine
Brian Floyd - May 13, 2009
That's not my schtick
Jeff Sullivan - May 13, 2009
True
I could use some after that rollercoaster
Brian Floyd - May 13, 2009
...
That was fun.
Crystal for DH - May 13, 2009
When closing out tight ballgames he can't even fool around with that pitch.
He’s never had the chance to continuously work on his command of breaking stuff because the M’s decided to jam him into the short inning relief role where fastballs were all he needed and he didn’t have the opportunity to work on his other stuff.
When he was in the rotation, we saw him throw his best breaking stuff of his career because he had 100 pitches to work with and wasn’t under the heat of having to get three outs without allowing a run that he’s under now.
He has no command of that beautiful curveball because he rarely throws it and he doesn’t have the luxury of just throwing it over and over again to work on the command because he’s always in high leverage spots and can’t dick around.
The Mariners fucked this guy’s whole career up. He could be so much more dominant than he is right now.
I hate this fucking team
Rudy4three - May 13, 2009
To be fair the breaking pitch to hamilton was strike three
And it is a good pitch when he throws it. Maybe not a consistent good pitch but it can be.
It’s part his fault too. The organization put him in the relief role but he didn’t want to step outside his comfort level to be great. He was also too impatient
Brian Floyd - May 13, 2009
He should have been in the minors for two years
Rudy4three - May 13, 2009
Agreed
Past administration handled him poorly. But you know he wanted to fast track to the majors by any means necessary as well
Brian Floyd - May 13, 2009
We come to learn about beer and baseball...
…mainly the beer, but hey, baseball!
GhettoBear04 - May 13, 2009
Is it just my imagination ...
or was there a time last year when Brandon Morrow had a lot better command?
JustinF - May 13, 2009
I hope that when Fields gets up here, Morrow can go back to being the relief ace guy.
He needs to pitch more. And with his background as a starter, he could be a guy who could give you 1-2 innings 4 times a week.
Rudy4three - May 13, 2009
Or he could just be a starter.
Fin - May 13, 2009
Woah woah woah.
One step at a time.
DAMellen - May 13, 2009
Morrow threw a lot of strikes as a reliever last year
This year he hasn’t been able to find consistent work.
Jeff Sullivan - May 13, 2009
Stupid economy.
CapSea - May 13, 2009
Losing is funny again!
JI - May 13, 2009
Rec'd!
Poochie - May 13, 2009
Rec'd is a dead meme.
Look, you’re new here but that doesn’t mean you can go breaking rules all willy-nilly you flaming rumphumper.
Aaron Campeau - May 13, 2009
If only you had provided some links so I could be assimilated
Poochie - May 13, 2009
Flaming Rumphumper?
CapSea - May 13, 2009
It's a gay joke
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Not necessarily.
Aaron Campeau - May 14, 2009
My query was more about the usage of it in that particular sentence, with regards to whoever Poochie is.
CapSea - May 14, 2009
Poochie is JI
Fin - May 14, 2009
In what manner?
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Rumps can be found on people of both genders.
Aaron Campeau - May 14, 2009
Flaming?
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Herpes.
Aaron Campeau - May 14, 2009
ehh
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Self-immolation?
Aaron Campeau - May 14, 2009
I'm not a protester
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Maybe you're ashamed of your proclivities.
Aaron Campeau - May 14, 2009
Dictionary.com is telling me that this is a vague statement
Poochie - May 14, 2009
He's embarrassed about butt sex.
Aaron Campeau - May 14, 2009
Ahahaha.
royalcurve - May 14, 2009
Cheater
OlSalty - May 14, 2009
Tip of the iceberg
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Holy Zombie Jesus.
A -.742 WPA?
Coach Owens - May 13, 2009
Yep
Pretty much what happens when what you do takes you from “a good chance at winning” to a loss.
ThundaPC - May 13, 2009
Didn't Jeff once gave Ichiro a -1.000 WPA for that game in Toronto where he dropped a liner in the 9th.
BrianL - May 13, 2009
Why the hell is there a period there? That should be a questionmark.
BrianL - May 13, 2009
No one will ever do worse!
Jeff Sullivan - May 13, 2009
I remember that
I wasn’t a LL member then but I remember wanting to vomit
gregrabble - May 13, 2009
By the way
turns out Branyan bunted of his own volition.
Jeff Sullivan - May 13, 2009
You traitor, Branyan!
Coach Owens - May 13, 2009
Is everyone on this goddamn team functionally retarded?
BrianL - May 13, 2009
'cept Joh...
Coach Owens - May 13, 2009
At least he bunted against a lefty
Jeff Sullivan - May 13, 2009
NO! BAD!
You’re nickname is Russell the Muscle, not Bunter Branyan.
JAH - May 13, 2009
*Your're
(Is that a dead meme?)
Coach Owens - May 13, 2009
Dear Lord yes.
Aaron Campeau - May 13, 2009
Thought so.
Coach Owens - May 13, 2009
gay
Poochie - May 13, 2009
My soul
It hurts.
Charles Gipson is a Mangod - May 13, 2009
Larry Stone
ThundaPC - May 13, 2009
At least he's honest.
Mariner John - May 14, 2009
Griffey homered in Minnesota against a lefty reliever
Snowman1025 - May 14, 2009
A couple of bombs does not mean he is good at hitting left handers.
BrettJMiller - May 14, 2009
He also hit a homer off Liriano on Opening Day.
Those are his only two hits against lefties this season. He hit .202/.299/.350 against them last year. He’s bad at it.
Teej - May 14, 2009
This is pretty much all I saw that last inning:
Vatinius - May 14, 2009
I do not get the joke behind this.
But this is still awesome.
Fin - May 14, 2009
My thoughts exactly.
Goose - May 14, 2009
Brandon Morrow has diabetes
OlSalty - May 14, 2009
I shall see this in my eyelids
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
He's so cute
It makes the Rangers lineup seem less intimidating
Snowman1025 - May 14, 2009
Do one for Hamilton.
Be sure to use Krackel.
The Typical Idiot Fan - May 14, 2009
I don't get it.
Robert - May 14, 2009
He seemed to have a cabinet of some sort for a head
but then on closer inspection it’s a Hershey bar with grommets. Color me confused.
pdb - May 14, 2009
They're googly eyes.
To make the Hershey bar less scary.
Vatinius - May 14, 2009
I should add that I was 130% tanked when I made that.
Vatinius - May 14, 2009
Which makes it all the more impressive and makes me want to drink with you
just for the surreal conversation that would surely ensue.
