We aren’t getting production out of the Snell/RRS spot. We have four (maybe 3.5) starters giving us GREAT innings. This seems like a slam dunk. Which is why Wak won’t do it.
The lineups the last couple days have been better. He seems to realize that Kelley/League are the two go-to relievers (although we should thank Z for taking away White and Jesus for sucking non-stop for that). If he can stick with the “good” lineup and stop people from bunting non-stop, his damage will be limited.
Skill at baseball is not the sole measure of athleticism.
Just because he doesn’t perform well on the field doesn’t mean he’s a bad athlete. His athleticism might have served him playing football or basketball (both of which he played, and he was recruited for football by multiple D1 schools, even signed an LOI to UW). He was a high school All-American. He’s an athlete.
Put another way: Prince Fielder is a really good baseball player. Great strength, hand eye coordination, tremendous bat. He is also nearing 300 pounds and under six feet tall.
Our WE went from 7.6% after Milton's K to 89% after Wilson's single
Matthew - May 26, 2010
Wow.
I just logged on to check the score. We were down, 4-3.
I opened a new FanPost, read it, returned to the mainpage and suddenly we’re ahead.
Yippee.

Nick S - May 26, 2010
This would be a swell time for Ichiro to not suck
and give us a small cushion facing the top of Tiger’s lineup

Ichiro it's time for a single.

Randy Marsh that is.
Not the umpire, the cartoon character
lokiforever - May 26, 2010
Has Ichiro gone back to back 0-for like this before?
msb - May 26, 2010
Someone in the last thread said he had an 0-21
bluemax - May 26, 2010
Boy, didn't remember that.
msb - May 26, 2010
I'm trying to look it up but maybe it was just his annual ST slump.
Slurvey - May 26, 2010
Last spring I believe
Matthew - May 26, 2010
Funny I was just talking to someone about his rookie season.
It happened ONCE that year.
Kenneth Arthur - May 26, 2010
September 26 and 27 of last season he went 0 - 6
Back to back 0fer games

Griffin Cooper - May 26, 2010
Well, they're winning anyway. Now we sweat it out with Aardsma.
ignacio - May 26, 2010
On, the other hand
Ichiro has been busy in the clubhouse
msb - May 26, 2010
ICHIRO? ICHIRO??????? AARDSMAA?
Punkhazard - May 26, 2010
I want to know the odds
Ichiro going 0-5 and Rob Johnson going 1-3 with 2 runs.
level - May 26, 2010
Ichiro is going to be the biggest suckfest two games in a row
Cantu Easley Winn - May 26, 2010
Dont speak so soon.
Lets wait and see what Aardsma does.
Kenneth Arthur - May 26, 2010
As long as it's not Aardsma I am ok with this

Cantu Easley Winn - May 26, 2010
Well, you know.
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 26, 2010
You know how Putz had Thunderstruck as his intro music?
Too much to ask that Aardsma gets the theme from Night Court as his?
Drew_D - May 26, 2010
Law & Order
seattlebruin - May 26, 2010
They use Law & Order for the umpires.
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 26, 2010
I thought about that
But the Night Court theme is so damn catchy.
Drew_D - May 26, 2010
I'd take The People's Court, too.
If only someone would have a kickass rockin’ remix of that.
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 26, 2010
Yes.
Jesus Jones - May 26, 2010
I would love this.

am I wrong?
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 26, 2010
It originated with Sweeney.

I thought it was Griffey?

Day off, then Cliff Lee goes on Fri
Meanwhile TEX gets MIN. Let’s go streaking, M’s!
SankTheTank - May 26, 2010
I hope Felix starts on Saturday
It’d be 6 days between starts for him, and then Fister on Sunday and Vargas on Monday on full rest, so push back that scrub Snell until June 1.
Baconburger - May 26, 2010
M's site says Snell Saturday, Felix Sunday
I don’t understand it, either.
calim - May 26, 2010
Agreed
We aren’t getting production out of the Snell/RRS spot. We have four (maybe 3.5) starters giving us GREAT innings. This seems like a slam dunk. Which is why Wak won’t do it.
SankTheTank - May 26, 2010
Gotta give him some credit the last couple days
Solid lineups, solid in-game moves… Still has a ways to go, but recently it has been ok.
seattlesundevil - May 26, 2010
Yeah
The lineups the last couple days have been better. He seems to realize that Kelley/League are the two go-to relievers (although we should thank Z for taking away White and Jesus for sucking non-stop for that). If he can stick with the “good” lineup and stop people from bunting non-stop, his damage will be limited.
SankTheTank - May 26, 2010
Jesus is still in the bullpen.
appleshampoo - May 26, 2010
I remembered this today and became sad
Cantu Easley Winn - May 26, 2010

But I’m happy they did.

TUI IS NOT A GOOD ATHLETE
Cantu Easley Winn - May 26, 2010
Tui is not a good Major League Baseball player.
But I have no doubt that he is a far superior athlete than 99% of the population.
harkening - May 26, 2010
But compared to other baseball players?
Cantu Easley Winn - May 26, 2010
Skill at baseball is not the sole measure of athleticism.
Just because he doesn’t perform well on the field doesn’t mean he’s a bad athlete. His athleticism might have served him playing football or basketball (both of which he played, and he was recruited for football by multiple D1 schools, even signed an LOI to UW). He was a high school All-American. He’s an athlete.
Put another way: Prince Fielder is a really good baseball player. Great strength, hand eye coordination, tremendous bat. He is also nearing 300 pounds and under six feet tall.
harkening - May 26, 2010
Guti and Ichiro spoil us
JBell523 - May 26, 2010
This is true.
harkening - May 26, 2010
That is a good point.
I was wrong in saying he is a bad athlete. He still sucks though :(
Cantu Easley Winn - May 26, 2010
I'd take him on my company softball team.
We already have Byrnes playing right.
doublemazaa - May 26, 2010
He's not, but he makes a wicked shaving cream pie. Jr. taught him.
He tried to teach him to deliver it too, but he’s not the best athlete.
