But I’m totally fine keeping Langerhans next season. We have plenty of other holes to fill, and we could do worse than a patient lefty with good defense and a low average.
I remember us drafting him a couple of years ago. He would have been early round talent, but had just had TJ surgery. We just converted him to relief, and he’s been pretty good in AA, but it could be a complete fluke. Any minor league experts?
You get shredded on Baker’s blog if you mention trading ANYONE on the current roster.
People are truly convinced that this team is the real deal. They don’t realize that keeping this team in tact is only going to cost wins in 2010 and possibly 2011.
We need to fill the hole that is Yuni/Cedeno with either of them. And of course you’re right, when was the last time Bedard pitched in September? Any GM will know that answer before a trade is even considered. Bye Wash.
Franklin Gutierrez-OF-Mariners Jul. 7 – 12:57 am et
Franklin Gutierrez went 3-for-4 with a double in a win over the Orioles on Monday night.
His bat has heated up as of late. This was the fourth time in his past nine games that he has notched three hits, and he’s hitting .500 during that span. He’s raised his seasonal average to .293 with the hot streak, and figures to remain in the middle of the lineup as long as he keeps raping.
Rhetorical statement or question mean the same thing.
You should consider/reconsider your statement, no response is necessary (or in this case, wanted). I will not be responding, so please knock yourself out. Please.

I thought that there were rules against us being the beneficiaries
Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009
I know he's meant to be a stopgap
But I’m totally fine keeping Langerhans next season. We have plenty of other holes to fill, and we could do worse than a patient lefty with good defense and a low average.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009

Slurvey - July 6, 2009
Oh good point.
Disregard.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
We'll see how Saunders does but I'm with you
and Langerhans is under team control.
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
At the very least Langerhans is a good 4th outfielder
Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009
Saunder's upside is essentially Langerhans though, right?

Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009
I think I'd prefer him as a fourth OF to Endy
And if we don’t have Griffey/Sweeney, he could DH sometimes.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
We don't have Endy after this year
Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009
We probably could though
If we wanted to.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
What's with the Mike Reilly hate?
Fearless Frog - July 6, 2009

Like, really loves him
tootthekazoo - July 6, 2009
It was after that game that I stopped lurking and joined

Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
Umpire hate is always topical
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009

but, just look at him out there.
msb - July 6, 2009
Here comes the strikeout.
James F'n X - July 6, 2009
Ronny Cedeno is half of Chris Woodward
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
Ryan Langerhans is twice Chris Woodward
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
This value-by-number equation falls apart quickly
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
A reliever who throws hard but can't throw strike why isn't he a Marin- oh shit...
Slurvey - July 6, 2009
DO NOT PITCH TO RONNY CEDENO HE WILL BEAT YOU EVERY TIME
esoteric - July 6, 2009
Oops.

Mickolio looks like he's always been an Oriole
ThundaPC - July 6, 2009

Why was he allowed to swing 3-1?
Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009

WHY DID WE GIVE UP ON BEDARD FOR THIS GUY
Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009
Did Ichiro just do a Cedeno?
eri_yoshida_is_a_stud - July 6, 2009
I seriously don't remember Washburn ever having a breaking ball like this
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
This is insane
tootthekazoo - July 6, 2009
I actually feel privileged to have watched this game

This assumes I have a positive opinion of Jesus or a negative opinion of Chris Carpenter
Poochie - July 6, 2009
Well, seeing as Jesus was a carpenter...
kentcheesehead - July 6, 2009
Just thought I'd pop in to see if -- even on a lovely game like this -- the LL crowd could find something to bitch about.

Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
Oh I love seeing Felix and Wash hugging.
royalcurve - July 6, 2009
Holy shit, so Jarrod Washburn was one hit away from a perfect game.
Holy shit.
esoteric - July 6, 2009
And that hit was pretty weak.
Great game, Wash.
mikiturner - July 6, 2009
And it was a bloop
Although there were several line drives
gregrabble - July 6, 2009
Shit, Felix likes him too.
abender20 - July 6, 2009
I really like seeing Jarrod Washburn happy for some reason
gregrabble - July 6, 2009
Meanwhile, Kevin Millwood heaves up 9 runs.

I can't believe this team is competitive
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
You're not the only one...

Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
I've been advocating that we could win the division since spring training

Wow. Wash. Still trying to digest this.
kentcheesehead - July 6, 2009
Wow this team is clearly destined for the World Series
JLC - July 6, 2009
Hmmm..
As much as I’d like to have him traded do you really think Jackie Z has the balls to get rid of Washburn after a performance like that?
Omerta - July 6, 2009
Beat me to it.
esoteric - July 6, 2009
He will deal anyone if the price is right
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
The price just got higher.
Or righter, as it were.
esoteric - July 6, 2009
Unfortunately, this of course means that we won't trade Wash.

NO, DON"T SAY THAT.
Sinking Away - July 6, 2009

Now Jarrod knows what Rich Hill felt like
Jeff Sullivan - July 6, 2009
O's guy's after the game:
“Just too much Washburn”.
Kills me.
levnclf - July 6, 2009
the quote should be changed to
“just too much Washburn?”
forte40 - July 6, 2009
Another start like that
and Wash will have a sub-3.00 ERA, oh the bounty that could be had
Trenchtown - July 6, 2009
Washburn 4 Cy Young.
ThundaPC - July 6, 2009
Weird, I imagined him sounding more like a chipmunk.
Fin - July 6, 2009
Jarrod Washburn just called him Langerman

Langerman?

A NEW PIE!
Slurvey - July 6, 2009
It looked like cake
C-Nage - July 6, 2009
Shaving cream, and apparently the green gel sort that stings like crazy.
msb - July 6, 2009
So does whipped cream.
I was the target in a “pie this dude for charity” operation once. It BURNS.
Decatur - July 6, 2009
Drayer recommends stocking whipcream so that in future the pies at least taste good.
msb - July 6, 2009
Shutout!!!!!!!
C-Nage - July 6, 2009
Sweeney to the DL due to back spasms from pieing Washburn.
Don275 - July 6, 2009
Ha ha, nice one Sweeney.
Heydude - July 6, 2009
It's so much fun to see them having fun.
Although a shaving cream pie doesn’t seem like much fun to me.
Sinking Away - July 6, 2009
Fun for everybody but Wash.
Heydude - July 6, 2009
3 strikes, no walks, and 1 hit. Doesn't compute
Kermit. - July 6, 2009
Nice
1 hit and 0 walks. Excellent! I didn’t realize it was so close to a perfect game until the game ended.
I can’t find a video of Ichiro doing the fake toss to the yankee fans. Anyone have a video of that somewhere?
fortyniners - July 6, 2009

Per Jeff
Wilder. - July 6, 2009
That is so much fun to watch.
Sinking Away - July 6, 2009
I want Ichiro on a loop doing stuff like this whenever nothing else is on my tv.
mark sobba - July 6, 2009
They could play it instead of Poker on ESPN
tootthekazoo - July 6, 2009
I would watch that 30minute looping of Ichiro highlights more than I would ever watch Poker on ESPN.

I need to get to the stadium more often.
Damn expensive tickets!

James F'n X - July 6, 2009
Angie: "He goes full full frontal on Washburn"
Kreuger: It’s all about the full frontal!
Decatur - July 6, 2009
The whole conversation can be very interpreted very wrong.
Fin - July 6, 2009
No way, first one hitter by a mariner pitcher at safco, ever.
levnclf - July 6, 2009
Brad Bergesen was the MASN player of the game,
as voted by the Orioles’ viewership.
levnclf - July 6, 2009
Um, ok.
When the M’s lose, Neihaus makes you vote the player of the game from the winning team
msb - July 6, 2009
Well you know Neihaus is a good man.
mark sobba - July 6, 2009
Why is this 1 hitter not on the mlb.com home page
gregrabble - July 6, 2009
Where did it happen - West Coast.
Sinking Away - July 6, 2009
Angels-Rangers game is there
gregrabble - July 6, 2009
Well its not just West Coast.
Just the mainstream media really doesn’t care about the Mariners.
Fin - July 6, 2009
Or that the mlb site hasn;t updated the SEA/BAL game as final.
msb - July 6, 2009
Man oh Man...
You get shredded on Baker’s blog if you mention trading ANYONE on the current roster.
People are truly convinced that this team is the real deal. They don’t realize that keeping this team in tact is only going to cost wins in 2010 and possibly 2011.
PLU Tim - July 6, 2009
Fortunately Baker's posters don't influence Zdurencik's decision making.
Fin - July 6, 2009
Haha I was just looking at your post with 9 thumbs down
Trading Washburn does not necessarily mean giving up on this season anyway
gregrabble - July 6, 2009
Ok, so what's Bedard got to do to top that?
msb - July 6, 2009
Perfect game
gregrabble - July 6, 2009
with 13 strikeouts
Fearless Frog - July 6, 2009
I was thinking somewhere around 27
but I don’t want to be too greedy
HHZ - July 6, 2009
Well, he's thrown a complete game once in his MLB career
so I guess he’s due for another one.
eponymous_coward - July 6, 2009
Drill Adam Jones in the hip on his first at bat.
kentroyals5 - July 6, 2009

C-Nage - July 6, 2009

Fearless Frog - July 6, 2009
Dobby the Bench Elf hit a HR
msb - July 6, 2009
I saw an article saying that he would be an improvement at 3B
Sadly, its kind of true.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
It took a lot of personal restraint to not burst out laughing and spitting out the yoghurt I was eating.
Fearless Frog - July 6, 2009
Raul is on a rehab for his groinal region.

I hope he's gonna be well enough for the All-Star game.
C-Nage - July 6, 2009

msb - July 6, 2009
Wow thats surprising...
that Raul wasn’t in today’s game. Maybe resting up for the All-Star game?!
C-Nage - July 6, 2009
No
Graham MacAree - July 6, 2009
Resting his groinal region, maybe
eponymous_coward - July 6, 2009
And by resting you mean
jabbing vicariously with a syringe, then I can see that happening

Don't make us enroll you in Baker's journalism class. >:(

Only if we can't trade Bedard's glass ass for a SS.
Otherwise, Washburn for a new SS to fill a badly needed hole.
Sinking Away - July 6, 2009
Well, I figure Washburn, unlike Bedard, has actually pitched in September in recent years.
The stuff may not be as good, but if I am a GM, I have to take that into consideration.
Plus, Hyphen!
eponymous_coward - July 6, 2009
Or Olson.
Either way, they are much more expendable than everyone else.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
Wash and Bedard, that is.
Fuckmikereilly - July 6, 2009
Agreed.
We need to fill the hole that is Yuni/Cedeno with either of them. And of course you’re right, when was the last time Bedard pitched in September? Any GM will know that answer before a trade is even considered. Bye Wash.
Sinking Away - July 6, 2009
That's right, I don't like watching :(edeno, either. :(

acblue didn't ask a question.
His was a rhetorical statement.
The Typical Idiot Fan - July 6, 2009
Rhetorical statement or question mean the same thing.
You should consider/reconsider your statement, no response is necessary (or in this case, wanted). I will not be responding, so please knock yourself out. Please.
