You don’t have to tell me that. My wife has already adopted him as her favorite M.

I think he just got old and chrochety.

And, yes, there’s a huge mancrush on Johjima. I want to have his manbabies.

thinking about it, he used to do a lot more visiting in the Kingdome days… now was that because it was the pitchers on the staff then, the effects of the Dome, the fact it was pre-Price? hmm.

Speaking about the announcers, I did love how many times Hendu made the point that Meche was more effective when he works quicker. I counted 5, and I’m sure I missed some.

There is quite the USSM-wide mancrush on Johjima, ain’t there?

msb, Wilson would occasionally go to the mound and when he did it was good, but a lot of the time he would just sit behind the plate and watch the pitcher flail. Freddy was a prime example of this.

46 – That’s almost certainly true. I know an engineer who claims he doesn’t “believe in statistics” because “they can’t predict future occurences”. This guy has training in a field of applied science, and he doesn’t understand the value of known probabilities.

Statistics make perfect sense. People who don’t understand them want them to be something they’re not.

2006 Free Agent Pitching comparison Round 1:

Kevin Millwood: 5IP, 5ER, 3K, 1 Loss
Jeff Weaver: 6.1IP, 5ER, 2K, 1 Loss
Esteban Loiza: 4.2IP, 5ER, 1K, 1 Loss

Jarrod Washburn: 7.0IP, 2ER, 7K, 1 Win

Wasn’t a fan of the Washburn signing, thought Loiza was a great deal at the time, and don’t want to jinx anything, but…..so far so good. It’s a long season, and these contracts are even longer (except Weaver)…..wait and see.

I love the active role he takes with his pitchers. Thatâ€™s something thatâ€™s been missing here for a decade. I remember being really pissed at Dan Wilson for not going out to the mound to calm a guy down.

what? you don’t recall the fine gradations of the Wilson Calming Techniques that ranged from hand-on-shoulder-with-eye-contact to full on arm-around-waist-walk-him-up-the-mound?
