All the great statheads have puzzled and puzzled over this
And they generally conclude that, although clutch hitting may very well exist, no one’s found a way to reliably quantify it statistically yet. So right now, saying someone is clutch or not clutch is almost purely subjective, which is a huge problem for evaluating what really wins ballgames.
Interesting - I'd say they're about the same right now.
Fangraphs’ projections average about ~.305 wOBA for each hitter. Unless you think Joh’s true talent is closer to 2006-2007 that people are generally giving him credit for, I’d say it’s a wash at the moment (or platoon). What say you?
“Kenji gives me the willies” is fine. What will get jumped on are declarative statements like the ones you started with about rally killing without any real logic or proof.
Two of our most hapless hitters humiliate him with line drives. Then he strikes out our best hitter, and gets our most clutch hitter to hit a wimpy little groundout
Bottom of the ninth, your team just tied the game with a homerun and is threatening to win the game with a base hit… and you can’t get off your ass and cheer?
"Dominican by birth, pitcher by profession, poet by vocation"
sums up Miguel Batista’s life in a nutshell. To really understand who he is, you have to dig a little deeper than his fame as a Major League Baseball player, and get to know his human values. You have to immerse yourself in the thousands of pages he has penned as a poet and novelist, revealing his heartfelt passion for the written word."
I like stuff.
Robert - May 3, 2009
I like stuffing.
redwolf75 - May 3, 2009
Color me worried about this game.
Robert - May 3, 2009
Throwing strikes would be kind of nice
Robert - May 3, 2009
Mark Lowe says OK!
joof - May 3, 2009
That was the best call by Cousin all day.

At least it wasn't a GIDP.

Patience!
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Good patience, Gutz.
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
GRIFFEY FOR YUNI PLEASE PLEASE
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009

gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Walks!
Yes!
Zwakamatsu - May 3, 2009
GOOD EYE
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
YES GOOD EYE GUTZ
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Ohhhh.....nice take.
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
I appreciate walks.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
We need a pinch hitter, NOW!
Heydude - May 3, 2009
God dammnit they're letting Yuni hit
Please don’t ruin this Yuni… I’m begging you
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
No, not YUNI
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
,
Robert - May 3, 2009
OH NO
NOT HIM
ANYONE BUT HIM
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
I bet Yuni tries a squeeze.
On his own initiative.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
There's not a runner on 3rd so that would prove to be interesting
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Seems like a difficult time to squeeze.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Ghost runner on third?
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
It's Yuni.
No one has any idea where his head is at.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING! SWING!
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Joke fail.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
A's pitching coach: "Don't throw anything in the strike zone. He will get himself out."
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
Oh man.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Poor kid.
/Nationals fan pity
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Why on earth would any self-respecting parent dress their children in Washington Nationals apparal?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
It was cheap at goodwill?
Heydude - May 3, 2009
0-2 counts usually bode well for Yuni..
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Here comes a pop-up.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Ugh he actually got a pitch to hit and swung at it but couldn't do shit
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Bingo.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
Oh hey...an 0-2 count!
Shocking.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Bahhhhhhh
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Wow there's a fucking shock
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Could have been worse...
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Yes, it absolutely could have been worse.
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
M's: highest average with RISP in AL.
…Yay?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Sustainable.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Every time I see this graphic, I shudder in horror.
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Ichiro please get a hit
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Ichiro's time to shine.
C’mon!
JLProck - May 3, 2009
WOOOOOO
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
ICHIRO!
JLProck - May 3, 2009
I-CHI-RO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
ICHIRO!
joof - May 3, 2009
Way to go Ichiro!
Heydude - May 3, 2009
Works for me!
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
ICHI!
Robert - May 3, 2009
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE ICHIRO?
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
I actually saw someone post that Ichiro plays below-average defense.
Granted, it was in the Times forum, but I was still amazed.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Maybe he looked at his UZR - it's still negative this year, I believe (SSS, obviously)
Of course, maybe he’s just drinking haterade.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Positive now.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Right you are.
16 games, +1.5 UZR, 35.1 UZR150 for 2009.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
It was a post explaining how overrated Ichiro is, so I'm guessing the latter.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Now we've got a motherfuckin ballgame!
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
I LOVE MY ICHIRO
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Cmon Lopez!!
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Dammnit I fucking hate Ryan Sweeney
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Any outfielder with two legs catches that ball.
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
It would have been tougher for a bad outfielder
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Grrrr.....
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
Dammit, don't hit it to Sweeney!
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
Dang it, enough with the pop outs.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
That was a flyout.
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
And hit pretty deep the other way.
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
Good point, my bad.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
That ball was smoked
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Also, they're quite a bit better than groundouts
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Well, 3-4-5 in the 8th for us, whatever that's worth
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
So, uh, Loafie learned to hit
go figure
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
It's the Pujols stance.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
He did that last year.
joof - May 3, 2009
Nice inning, lets tie this bad boy up
At least
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Lowe Factor
BRKLN M'S - May 3, 2009
Nicely done, Mr. Lowe.
But where are your offspeed pitches?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
You're aware he pitches for the Mariners, right?
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
I hate one run game.
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
Groundouts, nice.
hcoguy - May 3, 2009
woooo M. Sweeney, let's do this.
appleshampoo - May 3, 2009
Dammnit
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Come one King Awesome you are still worthy of the name!
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Wish our fucking hitters didn't suck
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
So our good hitters don't get any action?
appleshampoo - May 3, 2009
I think you mean "wish our fucking batters didn't suck"
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
Beltre needs to start fucking the man again
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Needs more Red.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Come on solo HR, it's our only hope
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Pathetic fucking inning
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Man, for a guy that walks as often as Branyan, he sure gets himself out alot.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Our last inning is going to be WLAD-Joh-Gut
This is starting to suck.
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Griffey needs to hit in the 9th
I really don’t care for who as long as it’s not Wlad
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
But then who do you fucking hit for Yuni if the 9th spot comes up
UGH
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Endy...
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
OK, you save Griffey and he hits for Yuni if the 9-spot comes up
just don’t pinch hit Rob Johnson, for the love of God
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Johnson? Chavez? One of the ball girls?
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
God what universe do we live in where pinch-hitting Endy Chavez is a good idea
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Welcome to our world, welcome to our world
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
One where Shelton and Clement lie in Purgatory and one where Johnson and Joh frolick in the light of earth.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Should be Wlad-Griffey-Gutz
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Should be
I don’t really expect it to be.
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
I think Endy should hit for Johjima and Griffey should hit for Yuni
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Seems silly considering that Johjima is a better hitter than Endy.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Johjima is a huge rally killer - I don't want him up if Wlad gets on base
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
What exactly are you basing that on?
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
GIDP?
Scruffy Lefty - May 3, 2009
The fact that he kills a lot of rallies
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Try harder.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
I didn't know I needed a statistic to know that Johjima hasn't been a good clutch hitter for us sine 2007
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
since*
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
I didn't know that clutch hitting exists
primarily because it doesn’t
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
There is no such thing as a good clutch hitter.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
I don't understand
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
There is no such thing as a good clutch hitter
hitters are equally likely to get a hit in RISP situations as they are in any other situation
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Seems pretty cut and dried to me.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
All the great statheads have puzzled and puzzled over this
And they generally conclude that, although clutch hitting may very well exist, no one’s found a way to reliably quantify it statistically yet. So right now, saying someone is clutch or not clutch is almost purely subjective, which is a huge problem for evaluating what really wins ballgames.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
The concept of "clutch" is imaginary
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Well it is absolutely impossible to argue with rock-solid evidence like that.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
I'm glad you came around to the logic so quickly!
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Well that's based on a lot of solid evidence right there.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Are you saying you haven't noticed that Johjima grounds into tons of double plays?
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
This year?
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
He's only grounded into 1 this season
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
I'm saying that GIDPs are no more predictive than GB% and that Kenji is a better hitter than Endy.
Pinch hitting with a hitter worse than the one you’re taking out is insanity.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Interesting - I'd say they're about the same right now.
Fangraphs’ projections average about ~.305 wOBA for each hitter. Unless you think Joh’s true talent is closer to 2006-2007 that people are generally giving him credit for, I’d say it’s a wash at the moment (or platoon). What say you?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
I say that Johjima is a better hitter than Endy based on the fact that Johjima's season last year was absurdly unlucky.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
May be worthwhile to get Endy in there with a RHP on the hill and to get some speed on the bases
but that’s about all I can think of
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
I suppose I'm in the minority at LL but I don't really base what I say on these statistics because I'm not familiar with them
It was just an opinion – I feel more comfortable with Endy up than Johjima
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
If you're going to make statements like that here you've got to be able to back them up when challenged.
Not trying to be a jerk, that’s just the nature of the beast.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
It was strictly an opinion so all I can back it up with is how I feel about it
And holy fuck I was wrong about Kenji
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
BAHAHA
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
And hey, look at that.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
God going retard
Robert - May 3, 2009
That's a perfectly acceptable opinion.
“Kenji gives me the willies” is fine. What will get jumped on are declarative statements like the ones you started with about rally killing without any real logic or proof.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Ok - I'm still fairly new here by the way
My apologies
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
And pinch hitting carries a huge, huge penalty with it.
It’s almost never the right call to pinch hit.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
WRONG BITCH!
Humongo - May 3, 2009
Indeed I was, but who could have predicted that
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
That was a whole hell of a lot more likely to happen with Kenji than Endy
which is the point I was trying to make.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
I'll just be the first to say - if they score this inning this game is over
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Really going out on a limb there.
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
Why was Branyan playing that far off the line? jeebus
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
Orlando Cabrera's swings are rather dramatic
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Damnit I forgot these Sunday games generally start earlier.
I see we’re in the midst of yet another one run game.
Omerta - May 3, 2009
Sit down!

If this goes to extras, I am going to get food.

Don't worry, you'll be able to get food here in about 5 minutes
And you won’t even miss any of the ‘game’

Decatur - May 3, 2009
Betancourt :(
Zwakamatsu - May 3, 2009
Ichiro on deck...
no bunt?
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Is that a higher win expectency move?
Or is that a higher Wak expectancy move?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Debatable higher WE move.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Yuni says suck it.
JBell523 - May 3, 2009
THAT IS A BALL YOU FUCKFACE
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
Betancourt's a slasher?
That’s news

Vatinius - May 3, 2009
Jesus Christ you are fast.
Eyebrows - May 3, 2009
Kind of a cheat honestly.
I already had the butcher knife and the apron cut out for an unrelated project. I just slapped them on Yuni when I saw this comment.
Vatinius - May 3, 2009
Strange strange man
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
That was quick
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
More like a butcher.
Which is equally apt.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Yuni is a walking facepalm.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Why no PH?
Heydude - May 3, 2009
I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM

JUST STRIKE OUT YUNI
Leave the heavy lifting to Ichiro.

Is it shitty Mariner redemption day?!
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
The Dodgers are winning a game in which
Manny, Furcal and Martin didn’t start and Juan Castro, Juan Pierre, Chad Billingsley and Brad Ausmus all have hits.
I say today is shitty player redemption day.

Wow, Wak pushes all the right buttons. If I were manager
Johjima and Yuni never get to hit in this inning

Well this is fun suddenly.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
I can't believe how many games lately have come down to the last few outs.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
I WANT AN ICHIRO WALKOFF TO SEE HOW HE REACTS TO THE MOB
BrianL - May 3, 2009
He would out run them.

They would not dare mob him.

Truly if we ever needed that Ichi-blast, this would be it.

We needed the blast last night.
Any sort of base hit would suffice here.

Well, that wasn't a 14 pitch at bat.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Holy shit this is a good time to join the thread
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
The more likely and more predictable outcome this time!
JLC - May 3, 2009
Good thing we just pumped through the top of the order.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
So much for that, crap.
Extra inning time.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
FUCK YOU LOAFIE
craig3410 - May 3, 2009
Now our bullpen will blow up! YAY!
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
Shut up
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Yeah seriously shut up. Do NOT jinx this.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
This is 2009
I hope our bullpen realizes this as well
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Extras!
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
WE DID IT LAWD ALMIGHTY WE DID IT
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
Let's face it
Russ Springer completed dominated Ichiro
Tony S - May 3, 2009
He fooled him on one pitch.
That’s hardly a Pacquiao-esque domination.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Good God MLB.tv NICE FUCKING TIME TO DIE
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
I'm okay with this: it puts Branyan in position for the game-winning 3 run home run
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Boy, it sure is interesting how quickly tides can change here.
A few nights ago, we wanted to fellate Jose Lopez.
Now, we wish him dead.
craig3410 - May 3, 2009
The nature of GTE
I still want relations to occur between us.
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Who is left in the pen?
bluemax - May 3, 2009
Aardsma, Vargas, Batista
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Well at least Vargas and Batista
have the stamina to go several innings if necessary…
bluemax - May 3, 2009
Because multiple innings of Batista is the best possible outcome
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Unless I missed something terrible yesterday, Batista just isn't that terrible.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Vargas, Batista and Aardsma
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Has Vargas been in yet?
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Late, but in reverse alphabetical order
can’t decide if that makes it better or not
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Batista, Aardsma and Vargas.
Scruffy Lefty - May 3, 2009
Aardsma and Batista?
Batista really, since Aardsma must be gassed from last night.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Forgot about Vargas
esoteric - May 3, 2009
I wanted more Kelley. He's the only guy I trust
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Vargas is the only lefty in the pen.
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
Aumont
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
Silva has some energy left
Tony S - May 3, 2009
That was very unexpected. Springer is terrible.
Two of our most hapless hitters humiliate him with line drives. Then he strikes out our best hitter, and gets our most clutch hitter to hit a wimpy little groundout
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
AAAAAAAARRGGGH
AAAAAAAAAAAARRDSMA
esoteric - May 3, 2009
I guess I'm not going to make it to the gym before 5 tonight.
Let’s go Mariner. Best team in baseball history.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
I'm a little pissed at the fans at this game.
Bottom of the ninth, your team just tied the game with a homerun and is threatening to win the game with a base hit… and you can’t get off your ass and cheer?
JLProck - May 3, 2009
You're just noticing that this is a trend?
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
No.
I guess it’s just hard to believe that they’re still so lackadaisical. If I were there, I’d be without a voice right now.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Safeco crowds are tame.
Just the way it is. If the Mariners keep winning they’ll get louder.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Sunday day crowd. Little league game.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
I agree.
I am cheering my heart out here in solitary confinement at the Mariner Mental Case Hospital.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
This is why we deserve the shit teams we've had
We have terrible fans. There are a few guys like us, and then the masses who suck.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
This is total, utter bullshit.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
I wouldn't say we have terrible fans, but they could stand to be a little more excitable.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Completely wrong.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Nah.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
I remember some pretty fucking crazy crowds back at the Kingdome
The team hasn’t been good for a while, give it some time and I think the masses will come around.
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Lets go Aardsma!
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Guys I think Aardsma is a flyball pitcher
JLC - May 3, 2009
Who knew?
Heydude - May 3, 2009
WE perfectly captures how I feel that we needed to win it there in the 9th.
Coming back from a huge hole in mere minutes. Instead, hopes climbing back.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
I feel like we deserve this one after what happened yesterday
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Agreed
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
I'm calling a Beltre walk-off
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Doubtful
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Russel Branyan walk-off, you mean.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Alert all outfielders!
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
Good thing the ballpark is large and expansive
Grady Clapp - May 3, 2009
Bahahaha
that defensive sub backfired. Cust for Davis against a righty
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
I feel so blessed.
Miss the first 8 1/2 innings through forgetfulness and I still get to hear the game! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Omerta - May 3, 2009
You know what would be neat. If Matt Holliday made a goodwill-ambassador visit to Phnom Penh
So that someone can write the headline “Holliday In Cambodia.”

I guess
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
Trust me, it would be totally sweet.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Has every M's vs A's game this year, been a 1 run result?
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
We won 8-5 in the first series

I hate it when biased jerks write about how good Adam Jones is

STRIKE
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
THAT WAS A WAR CRIME
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Let's waterboard the ump
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
That's also a war crime.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT UMP!?
BrianL - May 3, 2009
How the fuck is that not a strike?? That's right down the middle
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
The Casino tracker agrees.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
WHAT THE FUCK???
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
HOLY SHIT
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009

Grady Clapp - May 3, 2009
Interesting use of the word.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
firejoemorgan.com
Eyebrows - May 3, 2009
So that was the worst missed call ever

THAT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!!

What the fuck you shit faced ump
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT BLUE?
esoteric - May 3, 2009
THAT'S RIGHT THAT WAS A STRIKEOUT
esoteric - May 3, 2009
OWNED!
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Wow.
Was that as blatant a fuckup as gameday says it is?
craig3410 - May 3, 2009
Yep
section331 - May 3, 2009
It sure was.
That was the worst call all year.
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Maybe even worse.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
The Baseball/Mariner Gods are shining on Mr. Aadrsmavark.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
He thought it was low
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
MWHAHAHA
Omerta - May 3, 2009
It took two strike threes, but he did it well.
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
Also: wow, David Aardsma

Fuck you, Davis.

Dewey N - May 3, 2009
You're not even trying anymore
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
Weeee mlb.tv is at least a minute behind
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
If you are using NexDef, you will always be behind.
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
Not using nextdef
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
It must be your connection
I’m fine
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
I'm on a non-Nextdef lab computer
And I’m six or seven seconds ahead of GAMEDAY with the video feed.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Well I am not behind.
Wilder. - May 3, 2009
Yeah MLB.tv has been troublesome lately
Somebody here can explain it more.
Robert - May 3, 2009
MLB.tv thinks it's the ninth inning for me
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Suck on that one, GO AARDSMA!
Heydude - May 3, 2009
And it's one two three ... four strikes your out at the old ball game.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
What is the WE at the beginning of an inning in extra-innings?
It looks like fangraphs puts it at 50%, but that doesn’t make sense to me given that th ehome team has a chance to score if the visitors score first.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Um.
Yes, it’s 50%.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
So there's not advantage to the home team in terms of WE?
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
At the start of innings, no.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Fangraphs puts us at 64% right now
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Someone like Rajai Davis should not need to be struck out twice.
In fact, Rajai Davis should probably just come to the plate with two strikes on him already, to save time.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Sweeney runs funny
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
The thread grows mysteriously quiet as the Mariner approaches the place.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
shhhhh
Scruffy Lefty - May 3, 2009
I'm concentrating.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
only as quiet as most of our bats
IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009
I've needed two hands free for other activities after Johjima's homer
abender20 - May 3, 2009
Like what activities?
It almost sounds like you are being ambiguous on purpose
JLC - May 3, 2009
You have to hold the glass while you put ice cubes in it
abender20 - May 3, 2009
Definitely some Mariner Masturbation.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
I'm focusing my mental power on pushing AB or Russell into hitting a jack
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Incredibly, MLB.tv thinks Yuni is up in the ninth inning
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Only for you, bucko. Only for you
abender20 - May 3, 2009
He got a hit and so it broke.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
He was.
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
mlb.tv

PShwa - May 3, 2009
Batista is warming up, probably for the better
Tony S - May 3, 2009
Sweeney has an ugly swing.
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
But his wife is from Tacoma!
Scruffy Lefty - May 3, 2009
Come on Fagdrian Fagtre try not to hit the ball all faggylike
Dewey N - May 3, 2009
Ah, that was a funny swing Mike
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
BATISTA WARMING UP!

Scruffy Lefty - May 3, 2009
Any day now Adrian
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Oh God Batista's gonna pitch the 11th - Score please!
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Yahoo Sports also appears to believe the game ended in a 4-4 tie
Kouvre - May 3, 2009
Maybe they think this is an all-star game
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Definitely looks like one doesn't it? BEAUTIFUL GAME.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
Id take that result
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009

Hooray for Gio Gonzalez
abender20 - May 3, 2009
Russell Branyan is going to win this game for us.
JLProck - May 3, 2009
Ugh - just off the outside corner isn't a good pitch to swing at 3-0
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Ball four.
Ball five.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Ball six.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009

gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Ball eight

Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Ball nine!

Someone needs to insert bone spurs back into his ankles.

I think five was a strike.
ThundaPC - May 3, 2009
3-0, can't even hit the ball
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Good gravy, Adrian
Stop being a retard for a few seconds
JLC - May 3, 2009
Damn it Beltre stop swinging at junk
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
The umpire called something entirely within the zone a ball
I can’t say I blame him for swinging at anything within 5 feet of the plate.
themoose - May 3, 2009
Hi, what did I miss?
Sec 108 - May 3, 2009
Kenji hit a jack in the 9th inning to tie the game.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Also, David Aardsma was pretty sweet in the top of the 10th.

Oh god. It's hang on time.
Get out the adult diapers.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
Strike out on a ball, sweet.
And Batista is coming in, CRAP.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
Batista in
Game fucked
Grady Clapp - May 3, 2009
Well fuck my nipples
JLC - May 3, 2009
Or, you know, strike out.
the fuck do I know.
JY - May 3, 2009
Has it already been mentioned that Crawford got 6 steals today?
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
Yes
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
I'll just be happy that it's not Silva coming in
manifestus - May 3, 2009
But that would mean he's been demoted to the pen.
Silver lining.
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
There is that
manifestus - May 3, 2009
God help us all.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
Tits in
Game over, unfortunately
IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009
Except for the part where he's been quite good.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Regression?
manifestus - May 3, 2009
Christ.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Nothing about his performance seems unsustainable at this point.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Batista doesn't scare me anymore.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
12 pitches, might have gone with Aards to start inning.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Yeah would've made sense with only two pitchers left in the pen
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
I'm terrified
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
I already chalked this game up as a loss when we fell back 4-2
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Nice job Balentein
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
Fuck.
BrianL - May 3, 2009
here we go
IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009
Someone hold me
section331 - May 3, 2009
I'll do it.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
Ok
That wasn’t as painful as it easily could have been, but we’re going to run out of arms here real quick….someone better hit a bitch pretty soon…
section331 - May 3, 2009
Nice Wlad.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Oh God.... please Batista
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Man, that was one shitty-ass pitch
JLC - May 3, 2009
Fans appear to be good and silent, like all good Seattle fans.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
Awesome. Don't we have anyone else in the pen?
James F'n X - May 3, 2009
Vargas
IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009
I think Vargas is it.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
Griffey?
manifestus - May 3, 2009
Lead off hit, sweet.
Where is Jason Vargas?
Heydude - May 3, 2009
Folding towels
abender20 - May 3, 2009

Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Verbing plural nouns
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
That was a wild throw
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Why didn't he led Aardsma pitch one more inning
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Let*
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
He's our closer, 1 inning max
Tony S - May 3, 2009
Ugh, Petit has been brutal this series
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Yeah. He's rapidly making his way onto my list.
Once there he’ll be among annoyances such as Mike Napoli and Jack Cust.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
Where did the two old ladies behind homeplate go.
I was oddly fixated on them througout the later innings
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
TMI
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
What?
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Your sexual proclivities are your own damned business.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
I was watching sit there silent and emotionless on the Joh homer.
It angered me
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
*them
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
They've been waiting in line at the women's restroom since the ninth.
Sinking Away - May 3, 2009
Me too!! They probably died waiting for the M's to lose this game.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
This Gregorio dude has been nothing but a fucking pain this series.
cwel87 - May 3, 2009
Nice! Our WE went up 2% because of their bunt!
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
rofl ...
manifestus - May 3, 2009
No
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
No chat speak
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
How bout throwing strikes?
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Strikes anyone?
BrianL - May 3, 2009
I think Batista should take longer to decide on what sort of ball he wants to throw, anyone else agree?
JLC - May 3, 2009
1 more...
Fett42 - May 3, 2009
YES
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
YES WE HAVE TO WIN NOW
Dewey N - May 3, 2009

Are you kidding? This picture is constructed of pure awesome
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Pure, burning awesome?
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
What, you think he doesn't have a sense of humor about this?
He’s dressed like a stereotypical gumshoe, tossing a baseball. It’s clearly in goofy fun.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
He has Xanadu lights around him.
It hurts me regardless of its intent.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
I'm with you sister.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Also, he's holding a fucking bowling ball
Why why why
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Wait, nevermind
I was blinded by the lights
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
Gumshoes do NOT wear crushed velvet purple cap-jackets.

Of course.

Wow you aren't kidding either
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
He looks to cool
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
So sad and true.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
This makes me happy
Smegmalicious - May 3, 2009
If he keeps pitching in relief the way he has, he may even earn this pic.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
I think this music is what he listens to before he pitches.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
God he is creepy
OlSalty - May 3, 2009
What a terrible website.
Eyebrows - May 3, 2009
I love how white he looks
JLC - May 3, 2009
AHAHAHAHA, a direct quote from his web site:
“In 1992 he made his major-league debut, he has been one of the greatest players in world baseball ever since”
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
"Dominican by birth, pitcher by profession, poet by vocation"
Decatur - May 3, 2009
What the hell is up with the whole native american thing? First the music, then this:
Eyebrows - May 3, 2009
This is the worst thing in the history of mankind.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
The only thing that could possibly dull the pain of this is toilet wine.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
We have stumbled onto a LL gold mine.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
I would like to point out
That that website hasn’t been updated since 2006. Also, I’m surprised that more people on here don’t know it exists…?
section331 - May 3, 2009
Oh, we've mocked it before. It just hasn't been mined at length.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
Ha!
OK, got it. Oddly, 2006 is also the last time I remember Batista not sucking like a Dyson…
section331 - May 3, 2009
He was aight in 2007.
At least compared to Dream Weaver.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Or dreamy Rick White!
section331 - May 3, 2009
By the way
Weaver got called up to the Dodgers yesterday!
It’s WEAVER TIME, bitches!
Eyebrows - May 3, 2009
He is Jazz, Poetry, and the Civil Rights Movement all wrapped into one lithe frame of Tits.

Oh my God yes yes yes yes yes
JLC - May 3, 2009

It occurs to me that this site is like what we would be photoshopping anyway without us having to do any work

Now when Batista is sucking you can cheer for him to find his spirit guide.

Tony S - May 3, 2009

Miguel Batista, auditioning for Carlos Silva's rotation spot.
BrianL - May 3, 2009
There needs to be an audition?
manifestus - May 3, 2009
He got a spot start for me today when Jaku sprained his ankle in warmup on MLB 09
4 innings of work, he was comfortable
Tony S - May 3, 2009
He can have it.
Just not on a permanent basis, just until we come up with a better solution. (Olson or Baldwin from Tacoma or RRS when healthy.
Heydude - May 3, 2009

Escape! Now lets please win this thing before it gets ugly.

Serious Question...
Am I the only one who finds that Qwest commercial with the kid in the tight PJ’s a little unnecessarily creepy?
PLU Tim - May 3, 2009

royalcurve - May 3, 2009
He loves it, I think
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2009
That's what I heard too.
royalcurve - May 3, 2009
I really don't enjoy it.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Negative.
It’s been jeered at length here.
Omerta - May 3, 2009
Good...
I have to wonder if that director has some kind of an odd fetish going on.
PLU Tim - May 3, 2009
Several questionable scenes, to be sure.
Omerta - May 3, 2009
I do not like where this subthread may go
IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009
Oakland has a lot of pithcers left
We have 1 non-starter, Vargas….
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Vargas can go 7 innings if need be
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Zdurencik signed Jerry Owens to minor league deal

Neat.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Coach?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Oh that's who it was I couldn't make out the name on the radio and subsequently forgot about it.
Good pick-up.
Omerta - May 3, 2009
I have no idea where he's going to play.
We just got Saunders back in Tacoma.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Tennessee?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
He's reporting to Triple-A
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Maybe Saunders is being traded.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Why on earth would we trade him?
Decatur - May 3, 2009
I hear Carl Crawford is available.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
Touche
Decatur - May 3, 2009
This sounds like a Robert comment
JLC - May 3, 2009
Jack Z...
spends more time on the waiver wire than Silva does at the buffet table.

LOLZ WHAT A FATTY

JLC - May 3, 2009
We've been doing OK as long as I let this delightful Native American music play from Titsta's website.
Truly a good luck charm of some sort.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
Nevermind MUSIC OFF.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009

Decatur - May 3, 2009
I hate him
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Yuni sucks.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
Do we have a pitcher available
who can pinch hit for Yuni?
Grady Clapp - May 3, 2009
DANG IT YUNI!
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Well, that was well struck and down the line.
That’s a double if they aren’t playing doubles defense.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Well if we can hold them in the 12th - top of the order next inning
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Even if we give up 20 runs, Ichiro will still lead off.
But I like your idea better.
yuniform - May 3, 2009
Sorry.
That was just sorry.
yuniform - May 3, 2009
I admire your courage, sir, delving into the essence of Yuni.
But remember: “if you stare into the Abyss long enough, the Abyss stares back.” Be careful.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Yuni grounds into a double play?
joof - May 3, 2009
SI, CLARO
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
WE GO TO THE TWELFTH!
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Yuni, Silva just pulled up in the bus, you and Johnson get on it.
You’re all going to Tacoma.

esoteric - May 3, 2009
That almost makes this feel more ominous.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
I don't imagine it takes much
Miguel Batista not allowing a walk in an inning would impress a lot of people
JLC - May 3, 2009
That's over...
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Okay...
Tony S - May 3, 2009
And then of course he goes three straight balls to Jack friggin' Hannahan
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Four pitch walk? Eep.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Four!
Eyebrows - May 3, 2009
PUNCH OUT!
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Batista is a MUCH Better reliever than starter...
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Jack Zduriencik likes the way you think!
JLC - May 3, 2009
So is Phillipe Aumont!
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
I'm very glad Giambi and Cust are no longer in this game
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
These two offenses could be here for days
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Boy, it's a good thing that Geren removed Cust and Giambi for Jack Hannahan and Rajai Davis.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
Jack Hannahan has an OBP of 1.000 in this game
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
YOU WALKED TO GET TO MATT???
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2009
Sweet, walking Hannahan for Holliday.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
That was retarded.
Matthew - May 3, 2009
Okay, so that wasn't very impressive right there.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
It's basically each team waiting for the 2-3 somewhat talented hitters
in each lineup to do something.
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Yeah walking Hannahan to get to Holliday isn't the best move
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
4 pitch walk!
Back in the Batista comfort zone!
JLC - May 3, 2009
And he walked him on 4....
Oh well…
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
What are they chanting...is it pro-Oakland?
Strike them down Safeco chattel!
Omerta - May 3, 2009
Watch he's now going to destroy Matt Holliday
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
He got him to swing on two absolutely terrible pitcher's pitches.
Holliday is probably pressing because he’s 0-for-5 (now 6), but still….well done.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
That strike one was reasonably nasty.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
THROW THE FUCKING BALL
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Neat.
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009
YES! Now they don't have any good hitters for 2 more innings
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
MIGUEL BATISTA FOR THE STARTING ROTATION UNTIL RR-S GETS BACK
BrianL - May 3, 2009
His pipeflute playing has bewitched you.
Decatur - May 3, 2009
Way to go, Tits. Two scoreless from our $10 million dollar long man!
esoteric - May 3, 2009
0 is Oakland' s favorite number today....
no runs on no hits and no mariner errors, 1 left….
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Alrite, their one good hitter is now eliminated. That should buy
us another 2-3 innings
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Kurt Suzuki has been mashing the ball against us
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Ah fuck him
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Somewhat ironically, we are virtually out of relievers
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Time to add to our list!
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2009
Whoohoo. Lets end this before it gets back to Suzuki + Petit please.

That's better than a fly ball some A's player hit in the late innings (10th? 9th?)
In which Rick helpfully described Gut’s actions as “back to the track, to the wall, looks up…and catches the ball.”

Rudy4three - May 3, 2009

Kirk - May 3, 2009
I wonder if they'll sell tickets to the game tomorrow morning.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
Dang, that was close...
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
Apparently a competition to hit the same "almost there" distance.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
That foul ball may be the farthest Jose has ever hit a ball to the opposite field
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Fuck you Holliday
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2009
Cmon Sweeney
gregrabble - May 3, 2009
Stop trying to hit home runs
IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009
Dammit, we're going into the 13th, guys.
It’s inevitable.
esoteric - May 3, 2009
And our at bats get worse and worse as the game moves on
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
The Sweenster! We are looking for a hero indeed.
Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009
Sweet son of sam
Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009

IceStormV1 - May 3, 2009

Wrap this shit up. Seriously. I have a hair appointment pretty soon, and this is getting dumb….

Seattle Rodiners - May 3, 2009

Aaron Campeau - May 3, 2009

Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
Great play
But it sucks….
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
GRIFFEY!
Robert - May 3, 2009
I hate Cabrera.
Heydude - May 3, 2009
I would want to molest him if he played for the Mariners
JLC - May 3, 2009
The good kind of molestation
JLC - May 3, 2009
This is going to be a shitty game to lose.
kentroyals5 - May 3, 2009
Approaching four hour game time....
skywaker9 - May 3, 2009
So who's throw day is it?
Erik Bedard?
BrianL - May 3, 2009
"who's?"
seriously? And it would be Bedard or Silva
seattlebruin - May 3, 2009
Fuck.
BrianL - May 3, 2009
Haha, we got a starter in Vargas sitting down there. That dude can go 100 pitches
if necessary
Rudy4three - May 3, 2009
At least Batista and Vargas are capable of pitching multiple innings.

The "I already gave you extra minutes" mom scares me.
