Today's Fun Fact

Batting lines not park-adjusted.

Seattle Mariners, overall: .237/.305/.342
American League, overall:.263/.332/.410

Seattle Mariners after 1-0 count: .241/.353/.352
American League after 1-0 count: .281/.395/.446

Even with a one-ball handicap, the Mariners' offense has still been a little below the overall AL average.

Not so fun fact!
Although this is kind of fun
Maybe a slightly disappointing fact?
And the rest of the team besides Ichiro is hitting .226.

I can’t believe we don’t even have a flukey bench player that’s hitting above .300 and that Ichiro is the only one. Hopefully last night gets Guti going.

And even Ichiro is hitting below the norm.

I’m really starting to reassess the absurdity of some sort of systematic problem. They could have an infestation of Gremlins, or Gyspy Curses, Voodoo, or Thetan Poisoning. Ancient Myan Curse?

Curses? The answer is Chone Figgins

Figgins, Lackey, and Vlad were sent out to sabatoge their teams. Lackey succeeded in taking down some of his most prolific teammates while Figgins got everyone off soft drinks (Which actually promote baseball skills!). Vlad is just too dumb and probably forgot his mission.

Well shoot
You think they would be above average playing with a one ball handicap
It turns out they are not
Yeah it's pretty unbelievable
You'd think for that price, you'd get two testicles.

Ishmael Borg

I was thinking the same thing
DH Felix!

He’s a career .282/.379/.430 after 1-0 counts!

Welcome to LL!

Your icon is kind of terrifying in a cool way.

He's also a career 1.000/1.000/4.000 hitter against Cy Young winners.
You know, this offense is so piss-poor, I wish they'd think about DHing a pitcher if one of them could hit.

Not Felix, obviously, but if one of the other pitchers shows a Carlos Zambrano-like ability to go up there and hit .220 with a homer every 30 to 40 ABs, I’d do it.

Vargas used to be a pretty decent hitter in college.

That being said, you’ve got Branyan and Smoak.
