Josh's name is in caps!
TWownsU - June 6, 2010
He earned it
Jeff Sullivan - June 6, 2010
i respectfully disagree with the suckfest pick
i just got back from the game and man, i REALLY hate tui. can hannahan really be worse? i want him back now.
truemsfan - June 6, 2010
Please capitalize and the suckfest is not a subjective pick, it's based on WPA.
Matthew - June 6, 2010
i mean really, really, really hate tui. it’s not just this game, either.
truemsfan - June 6, 2010
Also please use the subject line
Matthew - June 6, 2010
That's not really something you can disagree with
Jeff Sullivan - June 6, 2010
Sorry!
I’m new here, sorry. My point is that Tui is just really sucky.
truemsfan - June 6, 2010
Oh, believe me, we all agree with you
Jeff Sullivan - June 6, 2010
I think he's more than really sucky.
Matthew - June 6, 2010
How sucky is he?

So, even though Aardsma gave up three runs, because we were already losing, he is not the biggest suckfest?
Maybe not in terms of this game, but I think we need a way to rate who is the biggest failure in general… our closer has a 5+ era and the worst part is there’s no one who can take over for him. :-(
Unless Guti can pitch AND bat AND play center…
Belom3 - June 6, 2010
Biggest failure in general?
So you just want something we can pin on Rob Johnson every night. I’m cool with that.
the other side - June 6, 2010
I think another outfielder has dibs on pitching before Guti.
KC Mariner - June 6, 2010
I'm pretty sure a lot (most?) of us saw this coming though...
SethGrandpa - June 6, 2010
Have you heard the good word of Brandon League yet?

So Ichiro usually heats up around now, but it seems like he hit full stride really early this year.
We are so spoiled.
the other side - June 6, 2010
Question for you.....
I looked at the explaination of the chart. Got the win expectancy thing. How do you come up with the Biggest Suckfest, Biggest Contribution, etc? Apologies if I’m missing something obvious.
truemsfan - June 6, 2010
The people with the largest/least WPA numbers.
CapSea - June 6, 2010
Click on the "What is this chart?" link.
I didn’t understand the chart the first time I saw it either, but the article explains it in pretty simple terms.
KC Mariner - June 6, 2010
Basically, after you have calculated the numbers, you end up with a chart that looks like this:
http://www.fangraphs.com/livewins.aspx?date=2010-06-06&team=Mariners&dh=0&season=2010
The person on the top of the list gets “Contribution” the person at the bottom gets “Suckfest.” Jeff has his own chart though so the numbers on Fangraphs don’t always match up.
CapSea - June 6, 2010
Pretty simple.
Biggest Suckfest = Lowest WPA. Typically negative. Generally the sum of contributions by a player resulting in hurting the team’s chances of winning the most.
Biggest Contribution = Highest WPA. Typically positive. Generally the sum of contributions by a player resulting in helping the team’s chances of winning the most.
ThundaPC - June 6, 2010
Thanks all. Got it, sorta.
truemsfan - June 6, 2010
Well...at least we'll now know if we can stop caring entirely within 4 days.
SethGrandpa - June 6, 2010
Unless we win 3 of 4 and are returned to our state of limbo.
Fuckmikereilly - June 6, 2010
Winning 3 out of 4 would fucking suck
killer_ewok18 - June 6, 2010
Yeah, let's do it. Only this team could pull that off.
TrustBaseball - June 7, 2010
No, I still care pretty intensely about this team getting some things figured out.
Such as if we can get Saunders going full speed, if we can sort out the bullpen, if Jason Vargas can continue to be a decent mid-rotation starter, if RRS can get his groove back, and so on.
What I don’t care about is the 2010 championship. That boat’s sailed. We’re not on it.
eponymous_coward - June 6, 2010
I will be wearing M's gear into "enemy" territory in 4 days
So for the time being I’m hovering just above the Tropic.
lemonverbena - June 7, 2010
Fuck the fucking Angels
Nick S - June 6, 2010
I am so glad I missed this series.
