This might be my favorite chart of the year - although the competition is pretty fierce.
Decatur - May 14, 2009
Like that thing would ever erupt.
waldo rojas - May 14, 2009
Maybe give it some Pixie Stix.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
I got Vesuvius all over me.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
soda water will take that right out
pdb - May 14, 2009
I was just going to lie in the fetal position and suffocate
but soda water seems easier.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
and less suffocatey
but potentially more drowney. Pick your poison, I guess.
pdb - May 14, 2009
Part of me wants to work this into a cocaine joke just to see is LSB is stupid enough to try trolling again.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
Well now it's ruined if you do
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
You think they're smart enough that me announcing the plan would deter them from getting in another tizzy?
Matthew - May 14, 2009
I was amazed that it even worked yesterday
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
Stupidity is predictable and undeterrable
abender20 - May 14, 2009

All the unfound dark matter in the universe is actually just human stupidity.

Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
I do!
oh wait, that wasn’t a question
pdb - May 14, 2009
I thought that's what Hamilton did
Poochie - May 14, 2009
All the LSB commenters are bigger faggots than Mike Young and Mike Young takes it up the butt and likes to dress up as a twelve year old girl and blow Vietnamese buisnessmen and pays to preform such a service.
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Too conspicuous.
I think they could see right through that bait.
Fin - May 14, 2009
Way to recycle material.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
That's the whole point
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
You respond like I am not just purposely trying to antagonize you.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
Please be more civil
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
Your self-righteousness upsets me as it disrupts the harmonious fabric of my inner peace
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009

Matthew - May 14, 2009
Thank you for the humility you have shown in this gesture of goodwill
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
HUGS!

I can't see this thread any more through my tears of happiness

Arlington is the Tacoma to Dallas' Seattle
pdb - May 14, 2009
Or the East St Louis to St Louis', uh, St Louis
this is more challenging than it seems it should be.
pdb - May 14, 2009
I really respect your effort here.
royalcurve - May 14, 2009
Umm...we all agree on this.
But Arlington also happens to be in between Ft. Worth and Dallas (and close to a few other city/suburbs)
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
I almost moved there!
Matthew - May 14, 2009
That's more like Ft. Worth.
Arlington is more like Everett.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
You take that back.
BrianL - May 14, 2009
OK, more like Kent.

Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
That sounds like...
…either a great Greek snack or a cause for lots of deodorant.
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
Mmm, but the beer still tasted amazing out of the Stanley Cup!
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
I brought this on myself
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Yes, yes you did.
Not that I really want to get into a flame war, but I figure I can at least force you to be more creative/effective with your baiting.
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
I'll be more creative when I get home from work
Right now I have to come up with something witty in between supervisor fly-bys.
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Shiner Bock is overpriced ass for people that don't know what good beer tastes like.
waldo rojas - May 14, 2009
Shiner Bock is a better cheap beer...
…than Budweiser and Coors.
But St. Arnolds is the best Texas beer anyways…
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
Who on earth drinks Budweiser and Coors?
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
Softball players
And I think I saw Jamie Foxx drinking one in a commercial a few years ago.
Teej - May 14, 2009
Well...Amuhricans?
Also, people with a need for large volume of beer and not a lot of dollars?
Not all of us are lucky enough to have Newcastle be the local swill.
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
The British version of Bud isn't Newcastle, it's Carling
marc w - May 14, 2009
Agreed.
Shiner Bock for a buck a bottle in Austin bars? When usually the dollar beer is something like PBR or something else nearly as undrinkable (basically, drink it while it’s cold and hold your nose)? Sign me up, please.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Exactly.
It took me a while to understand why people would drink Bud Light or Coors Light…you WANT to water down that “flavor”.

Not as funny as that time Josh Hamilton tried to snort his own dandruff

There could be an opportunity here
Someone should try and get Hamilton, Morrow, and a baggy of caster sugar in the same room and see what happens

I checked the score in the 8th, when it was 2-0
and I thought, ok, Felix is due, this should be in the bag now. Boy, was I wrong.
Fin - May 14, 2009
I'm enjoying Morrow being a full time closer.

Jesus catfucking Christ, I didn't even realize there was a game on.
And now, I’m thrilled to have missed it.
Brandon Morrow to the salt mines, please.
esoteric - May 14, 2009
You mean to the DL?
For Diabetitias.
Fin - May 14, 2009
Apparently Diabeetus leads to suckitis.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
He needs to get a new testing kit then
Fin - May 14, 2009
Needs more Morrow in the picture.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
and less
dude from walker, texas ranger
kevinkinsler - May 14, 2009
More Morrow?
Fin - May 14, 2009
I love the subtle 187.
Wilder. - May 14, 2009
What.
.Taylor - May 14, 2009
Can Morrow go back to starting, please?
.Taylor - May 14, 2009
So, you prefer losing the game in the 3rd inning as opposed to the 9th?
I suppose there’s merit in no hope as opposed to false hope.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
We still have this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yh1DyvTuDA
MFAN - May 14, 2009
So, uh.
We just got CG’d by Matt Harrison.
.Taylor - May 14, 2009
Good thing that the one thing all our suckass hitters are good at is hitting mediocre LHP.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
He did just throw a complete game shutout aginst the CHW his previous start
but I understand the logic
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
Let's put it this way...
Jarrod Washburn also is pitching well over his last several starts.
…
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
And yet I am fairly sure I would keep Harrison
over Washburn
Right before 3 starts ago the Ranger pitching coach finally got him to change his approach and dramatically quicken his pace in game. He was on the verge to losing his rotation spot to Derek Holland. Looks like it worked. The difference is night and day.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
That and Texas installed Teagarden as his permanent C
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
How are you not banned after that boob gif?
Fin - May 14, 2009
He was boxed
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Thank you.
msb - May 14, 2009
That's because Harrison isn't going to cost anyone millions of dollars.
89-91 MPH mediocre heat, fast worker, flyballer, left hander? Hi, meet Jarrod Washburn, or any other number of finesse lefties.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
you do realize he is 6th in
Average FB velocity for LH SP this season right?
91.2 vs. 88.3
pretty huge difference for a lefty. I don’t think he totally falls into the finesse category. That would mean Johan Santana, Erick Beddard, Wandy Rodriquez and Scott Kazmir all fall in the “finesse lefties” catergory since they have a lower average FB velocity than Harrison.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
Does Harrison actually have any secondary stuff?
I haven’t paid him any attention at all
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
change is OK, slider is getting there
He is a guy that tops out a #3 starter initially based on scouting reports, but it seems like he has finally figured how to use both sides of the plate and more importantly is willing to throw inside.
That Texiera deal was an absolutely fleecing.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
I'm not sure you should get your hopes up until he faces a real offence
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
CG SO of CHW the game before...
and a 5 innings of SO ball before that…
Not entirely for sure what happened. He went for being Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde last year to looking like he got some thing figured out.
Most of it it hink has to do with really learning to pitch
Harrison had an ERA around 3 last year in his W and an ERA around 13 in his losses and ND.
It is not like the kid doesn’t have the stuff, being consistent has always been problem. The 4th inning was a pretty good example of what would happen last year as a whole. He would bust guys in for most of the game and then fall in love with trying to get guys to chase away and stop throwing inside.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
CHW are not a good offence
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
ERA is not a good stat for judging pitchers
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Also, duh. Pitchers will have good ERA in the wins and bad ERA in their losses for the most part.
abender20 - May 14, 2009
you would be really suprised how the spread between
wins and loss ERA’s fall.
2 runs, 3 runs feasible or even 5 runs but 10 runs is not. I am having a hard time finding guys that have a spread over 5 or 6.
Roy Halladay about 2 runs difference. Washburn in his horrbile season las year had a 5, Bedard last year a 3.5, Felix a 3.3. Washburn’s rookie year was a 4.2 spread
But a number around 10?
The best examples I have found with a sample size of 15 or more starts as a rookie have been Fransico Lirano, (10+), Kershaw (7+), Phillip Hughes 6.5, J. Saunders (22!), Rich Harden (10) …
Humm, this might be a real interesting large scale study. I am having a hard time finding guys that had such dramatic splits that have totally disappeared.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
Well trchinally all of the current metrics have thier flaws
tERA, FIP, ERA, all have their detractors, and the funny part, they all fall along the same lines this kid.
he is almost like Wandy Rodriquez in his ability to be absolutely frustrating at times and then other times amazingly brilliant. More than anything else, he is a guy that needs or maybe needed to learn hiw to really pitch and not throw.
Wasburn is well past that part of his pitching education. Trying to compare the 2 is asinine.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
Interestingly enough he seems to have taken a step backwards this year
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
So Jarrod Washburn burst forth upon the earth fully formed in 2009? Or 2005?
Jarrod Washburn had a career BEFORE he became a Seattle Mariner. As a matter of fact, he even had a better fastball in his 20’s than he does now, as I recall.
You’re trying to turn a guy who was striking out 6-7 guys per 9 IP in the minors into a top-of-rotation starter. Erik Bedard, as a minor league pitcher, and one of your comps, struck out 11 guys per game through HIS minor league career, and has a MLB strikeout rate per 9 IP of 8-9.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
It has nothing to do with K rates
and I am not trying to turn the guy into a top of the rotation pitcher. You are the one who said he was a finesse lefty. He is not. He has above average FB velocity for a LH SP. Thats it.
He is a pitch to contact guy. That doesn’t make him a finesse pitcher, or an extreme GB guy, or a strike out guy. He pitches to contact. He doesn’t live off of his off speed stuff, he doesn’t try to strike everyone out, his goal is to get you to get yourself out.
The fact that the other guys named had a slower average velocity doesn’t make them finesse lefties either. It is more to prove the point that thinking his velocity and Washburn’s are anything close to being similar.
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
tERA?
What is that?
Matthew - May 14, 2009
Taking tRA and multiplying it by .92 to get it on ERA scale which makes my head hurt
Graham MacAree - May 15, 2009
This might be helpful; I asked Sky for number clarification. Read the subthread I posted in.
http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/5/13/873952/top-10-overrated-starters-in-2009#comments
.Taylor - May 15, 2009
Not a fan.
Matthew - May 15, 2009
Forgetting velocity for a moment
Matt Harrison throws fewer than 60% strikes and misses fewer than 5% bats. He might have some potential in there, but to date, he’s been awful.
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
And yes I understand that this means our offense is worse than awful but hey, no shit
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
The unbridled Harrison optimism
is coming from a nice stretch of pitching by him that follows a terrible, terrible stretch. Rangers colored glasses show that he turned a corner, skeptics say it’s just luck, I’m assuming/hoping that it’s somewhere in between.
I don’t think anyone is claiming Harrison is a solid “no. 2 starter”, there’s just giddiness from him not being a flaming pile of suck.
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
If he turned into Jarrod Washburn, that's not too bad.
Really, a career where you get a couple of pretty good seasons when you play behind a good defense and over 100 MLB decisions is pretty damned good. I think we’d be quite happy if Ryan Rowland-Smith had that kind of career (and even more so because unlike Washburn, RRS isn’t mostly an unlikeable douche).
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Agreed.
Especially considering the pricetag.
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
Against shitty offenses!
Wow, no fucking wonder.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
So, this is a guy who struck out 6.5-ish guys a game in the minors, walked 2.5ish
He IS getting more grounders right now. (Then again, so is Washburn).
I still am not buying he’s particularly awesome. You can’t gauge how good someone is by how they perform against a struggling offense like ours.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Hey look! I see the cellar approaching!
Worst to first! First to worst!
Goose - May 14, 2009
Sun setting in the Easy! Rivers flowing uphill!

There is no floor
seattlesundevil - May 14, 2009
Having gotten up to speed here, I'm just amused now.
Grimly amused. Once again, I root for two terrible teams.
The Nationals would be happy to trade Proven Closer Kip Wells to the M’s if they want someone to replace Morrow!
esoteric - May 14, 2009
Chad Qualls is likely available!
Goose - May 14, 2009
Wow, I left after the 7th and this happens.
God I hate the closer role.
Crystal for DH - May 14, 2009
Over the past 2 games...
Morrow is -1.5 win expectancy.
WOW.
Also:

Total Contribution by Opposition: 0.0%
The rangers did not win this game…we lost this game.
ARock - May 14, 2009
I think you're misunderstanding what those numbers mean
All that means is that the Rangers didn’t commit any errors that helped us along.
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Man, are the M's really 4.5 games out now?
That was quick.
waldo rojas - May 14, 2009

AHAHAHAHAHA
royalcurve - May 14, 2009

jimmylauderdale - May 14, 2009
At least Bedard isn't injured again.
…um, nevermind.
PDXTai - May 14, 2009
So I've given it some thought
and after everything that’s happened since March, I am about 90% sure that the clubhouse hates Brandon Morrow by now.
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
I cannot tell if I am angry or sad by all this.
CapSea - May 14, 2009
He could always try being better
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
=(
CapSea - May 14, 2009
Home is where the heartbreak is.
PDXTai - May 14, 2009
I wonder if Sweeney sticks his foot out when Morrow walks past him.
royalcurve - May 14, 2009
Sweeney pies his face.
With real pie.
CapSea - May 14, 2009
Wouldn't that kill him?
Slurvey - May 14, 2009
Death may improve his pitching at this point.
see Raul’s spasming corpse : outfield defense.
PDXTai - May 14, 2009
You can't walk people if you're dead.
Or give up game-losing walkoff HRs.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Then he helps him up and tells him to go with Christ
OlSalty - May 14, 2009
Is that a nice way of telling Morrow to go get himself crucified?
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 14, 2009
Too soon....
nickmo - May 14, 2009
Good.
I am currently drawing up plans for a gun that shoots Skittles. I’m going for enough velocity to penetrate the flesh, but not so hard that they pass straight through.

How can I taste the rainbow?
GhettoBear04 - May 14, 2009
I didn't get to see the game today..
But can anyone tell me how many innings Felix pitched?
And I hope to god the answer isnt 8..
d0nkey - May 14, 2009
Seven, and he was good
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Despite the brief panic caused by Pitch F/x's FAIL
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Was his pitch count high?
I don’t see why, if he is pitching so well, they wouldn’t just let him earn his own win..
Of course it probably is better to bring in an 8th and 9th inning reliever.
d0nkey - May 14, 2009
110 or so pitches.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
No, but Hamilton was.
Sec 108 - May 14, 2009

rangers - May 14, 2009
I love that you joined SBN yesterday and the screen name "rangers" was still available.

ya everyone at lone star was amused by that
rangers - May 14, 2009
seattlemariners also available
Brian Floyd - May 14, 2009
how about "mariner"?
Fin - May 14, 2009
Stop it
I will get confused. IU already have a hard enough time telling myself from seattlesundevil and seattlecougar
seattlebruin - May 15, 2009
All seattles look alike.
CapSea - May 15, 2009
So the difference between 19-16 and 16-19 is Brandon Morrow
You got what you wanted, kid.
ThundaPC - May 14, 2009
Oh, wait, it's all Wak's fault.
because he is calling every pitch from the dugout.
I’ve got to change the channel.
msb - May 14, 2009
I'm sure Wak called for Brandon to throw the suck pitch.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
That's a hard pitch to master, too.
msb - May 14, 2009

msb - May 14, 2009
I can top that
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Awwwww.
msb - May 14, 2009
The sad thing is, that's not slow motion.
He really is that slow.
CapSea - May 14, 2009
Why is Tom Morello screaming at people
abender20 - May 14, 2009
The umpire called him out for playing ridiculous solos
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
I didn't hear you, my foot was on the wah wah
abender20 - May 14, 2009
In a way, I kinda miss Mike Hargrove.
Goose - May 14, 2009
Wow I don't remember this
Which year did this happen?
appleshampoo - May 14, 2009
2005 or 2006 but really you should ask Robert
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
The game before my lucky hat was bought!
May 31st 2006. How is this hard to remember???
Robert - May 14, 2009
Whatever
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Really needs sad music.
ThundaPC - May 14, 2009
Maybe the waaah-waaaah trombone?
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
world's smallest violin?
Slurvey - May 14, 2009
I do certainly hope he cried over this.
BrettJMiller - May 14, 2009
You fucker I pay my hard earned money for Netzero and my connection just collasped
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Wow
laxtonto - May 14, 2009
If you stare at it long enough it looks like it goes faster and switches direction
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
I'm wondering how many LL readers we've lost to seizures.
A moment of silence for our fallen epileptic comrades.
CapSea - May 14, 2009
In my head, enjoying this and the gremlin gifs are mandatory for anyone who wants to thrive on LL
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
That and not having epilepsy, altough I guess the presence of the former precludes the presence of the latter.
abender20 - May 14, 2009
Ah, the epilepsy-inducing factor here is... uh, whoa
Ian Curtis-esque.
Is it still baseball season here? I can’t watch these fuckers right now. Because why?
ignacio - May 14, 2009
I hate the gremlin gif
Poochie - May 14, 2009
Youk's new picture is just awesome.
Slurvey - May 14, 2009
Curse you, Jeff!
Coach Owens - May 14, 2009
Or it stops
Graham MacAree - May 14, 2009
Don't stare at it that long
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
Mine never stop
Dewey N - May 15, 2009
That's because you keep believing.
Matthew - May 15, 2009
I think LL really did cause me to have a migraine once
OlSalty - May 14, 2009
I think LL gives Jeff migraines every day.
CapSea - May 14, 2009
IT'S TOO POWERFUL!

From the Yahoo (AP) recap:
Brandon Morrow: "I’ve got to start mixing pitches. I’m acting like a pitching machine out there."
patsfan - May 14, 2009
The pitching machine comment couldn't be further from the truth
d0nkey - May 14, 2009
Pitching machines usually throw strikes
BrettJMiller - May 14, 2009
Oh snap!
Slurvey - May 14, 2009
I didn't see any ping pong balls flying from his netherregions, so i have no clue what the fuck he's on about
abender20 - May 14, 2009
Shannon Drayer asked Felix about his velocity after the game
BrianL - May 14, 2009
Jesus if he can shut the Rangers down in Arlington at while sitting at 92 mph, he can do anything.
Decatur - May 14, 2009
That is nice to hear from Felix.
Matthew - May 14, 2009
Just finished watching the 9th inning.
The funny thing is I am apathetic to this recent skid. I guess it must be because I haven’t watched a game in a week. If I invested more time, I am sure I would be more frustrated.
The only person I feel sorry for is Felix. And Bedard. And Vargas. And Washburn. Seriously, the starting pitching has been great this season. The offense and the bullpen are annoying.

Is it okay to root for Morrow to continue to fail in the hopes it reverses this whole asinine closer idea.
thewyrm - May 14, 2009
It's not going to be reversed.
Goose - May 14, 2009
It's FOREVER.
Fin - May 14, 2009
Then can I root for him to fail out of spite?
thewyrm - May 14, 2009
I guess but you'd think the closer would be the last guy you'd want to see fail
Jeff Sullivan - May 14, 2009
True, but if I'm rooting for it when it happens I don't feel like I just got kicked in the junk.
thewyrm - May 14, 2009
Let me put it to you this way.
When JJ failed as a starter, he was able to be converted into a great reliever.
When Bobby Ayala failed as a reliever, he… well, got released.
eponymous_coward - May 14, 2009
Not soon enough!
