Regression to the mean on those one run wins

That and our bullpen only had to pitch in one of those three games…

4 game winning streak

and we’re still only 18-41 and 11+ out of first :(

28-41

We aren’t that bad…

Lol 18-41. Even we're not that bad.
No chatpseak please
So the no chatspeak rule trumps the capitalization rule
Brandon League had seven swinging strikes

Seven.

Nine!

Nine swinging strikes!

What can you say?

Its a good day for the sports-goggle wearing Mariners.

Goggle Eyed Islanders ruled this day
The Count!

Ah-ah-ah-aaaah

Obviously should've remembered to put in a picture.
and no pitcher to face!

Unless you count Corky Miller.

It seemed like more than that too.

It looked as if every pitch he threw, the batter swung and looked foolish.

Busted out the split en masse. Someone might be listening.
We've won 4 in a row and still managed to lose half a game in the standings over that stretch
We're almost as close in the wild card as we are in the division.
Hah, we can't even win right.
At least we are getting closer to .500? Right?
.405 WP at the moment.
Mariners Baseball is good for the envoronment.
*environment.
NO MORE TUI! TUI'S GONE AWAY!

Ding dong the witch is dead for now
You mean "warlock"?
No, witch
You're implying TUI is a girl?
He turned me into a newt.
Wait so was RR-S as bad as his line looked?
He was so-so.

Didn’t get very many close calls.

Given how he's been? I'll take it
8 swinging strikes, 2 Ks, a HBP and 3 walks through 6.

He was gassed after throwing 96 pitches through six innings and Wak put him in for the 7th and he promptly walked two guys before being pulled. He wasn’t great, but he made tremendous progress today against a team that hits well.

Thanks!
Shockingly, ESPN's box scores are the only place I can find with swinging strikes recorded as soon as the game's over. They're actually quite useful.
Dammit now I have a reason to look at their baseball section
There was really no reason for him to be in in the 7th

Belief System, etc; but there’s a point where you’re hanging your starter out to dry.

If Wak hadn't put him in, he probably would have used Sean White and we lose this game 4-1.
He's the best reliever in the pen and RRS was gassed.

Who would you prefer in that situation? Your options are Sean White, Chad Cordero, Shawn Kelley, Brian Sweeney, Garrett Olson, or Aardsma.

Meant RRS shouldn't have been in

I’m 100% completely ok with league coming in in the 7th.

I'm struggling to stay below the Tropic of Cairo

Which is amusing after seeing him DH for the Reds on Friday.

Here let me help you

Heh, yeah, that helps some.

Plus the team has not exactly looked good. I fell asleep during today’s game, that’s how excited I was.

Why are the M's following my total, utter apathy with 4 straight wins?
Why am I even having hope?

When I know that I will be hurt once again?

This win streak is done once Carlos Silva takes the mound.
Hahhaha man I haven't laughed in a while.

Thursday is either going to be awesome or shitty. There is no in between emotions when it comes to that game.

This team could roll off a 25-game winning streak starting now and still find a way to not

be in first place at the end of it.

We are so annoying.
I'm happy for RRS
Same here.

He needed this badly. Lets see if he can build off of this.

Baltimore seems stacked with young talent

Hernandez, Jones, Markakis, Tillman, Simon, Weiters, Matusz should all have a chance to contribute. Guthrie, Ohman, Berken, Scott and Wigginton should all be decent trade bait, and all are performing well.

How the hell is this team challenging the 2003 Tigers?

Because most of the talent isn't ready?

Talented sure but right now Wieters and Jones aren’t hitting well. Garrett Atkins has sucked the life out of first base. Tillman has gotten shelled. And some guy named Luis Montanez has a negative .8 WAR in only 58 PA’s.

Luis Montanez?

Fuck that guy.
