Game 96, Red Sox at Mariners
Jamie Moyer vs Kyle Snyder, 7:05 pm
Kyle Snyder today, Kason Gabbard tomorrow, and Jon Lester on Sunday – not exactly what you expect when the Boston Red Sox roll into town. Snyder was claimed off waivers from the KC Royals earlier this year, so that should tell you something right there. He’s given up 8 runs in 9 2/3 innings since joining the Red Sox, but he does have a 1/12 BB/K, so there’s at least a reason to think they might see something in him.
Also, Jose Lopez isn’t with the team – he’ll be back Sunday. Personal matter. You know what that means – a weekend of ignition with Willie Ballgame. Let’s just pray he’s not hitting second – of course he is.
Classic Hargrove Line-Up for this one. Yes, Everett’s still here and hitting 6th. No, there’s still not a single legitimate reason why.

He exhausted himself by pulling Jones.
That was far more action than he is capable of doing.
Mateo got an out without giving up a run! It’s a miracle. But he still looks like a camel who’s hump is failing them.
gosh, I hope that last run won’t come into play as they start the inevitable 9th inning comeback!
350 – Yeah I think it’s past his bed time..Hassey needs to maybe kick his seat to try and wake him.
I used to be impressed by how well he would deploy the Orioles’ bullpen to hold leads the few times they got ahead of the Sox in the years when Hargrove was the O’s manager.
He’s probably still on New York time.
354: Why would he do that?
Get Rohn up here to finish this off.
you know, it’s hard to sustain a rally when every other hitter in the line up has an oh-fer.
For real, I did hear that Stengel used to doze off on the Mets’ bench in those “glory days” in the early 60’s
Great Bloomquist is going to be up this inning.
You have to PH Perez for Bloomquist now, I don’t care about Timlin’s handedness.
Can we pinch hit Soriano for Bloomquist? He’s a better hitter and easily has a better arm 😉
hey! it’s Michael August Timlin!
Timlin must have pretended like he didn’t hear the bullpen phone, muttering something like, “I was really comfortable in this chair. Why do I have to waste my team in this one?”
Soriano used to be a CF.
on the other hand, I could believe Papelbon was actually 22…
Yuniesky Betancourt has 22 hits this month. He has 21 singles and the home run off B.J. Ryan.
365
Exactly!
Ichiro. It’s time for the game to be over. 12 pitch ABs are BAD.
especially if all you are going to do is ground out.
Those 22 hits, by the way – three more than Carl Everett has since the start of June.
Get back, we have fly-out ignition.
you know, the Timlins contributed one of the best recipes ever to the Mariner cookbooks…. the chocolate pizza.
so, a gritty 0-5.
LOL. Suzuki battles Timlin for, what, a dozen pitches? Then the all american out pops out immediately.
There’s a contrast.
Sheesh.
That makes Bloomquist, what? 0-for-5? So he’s below .250 now, average-wise. Heh. I don’t know why he wants to play every day.
After all, small sample size is all that keeps him from hitting below his weight.
Ichiro faced 87% if Timlin’s pitches that inning. How about that!
It always seems like a bad idea to get behind by a td and a two point conversion…especially in baseball when you’re at home where you can’t hit a hr.
Thanks for putting up with a Sox fan in here. 3.5 up on the Bund feels pretty good.
Now there was 3 hours and 30 minutes of pain.
371 – If you and the rest of us can notice these things, then what in the hell is the Mariners FO looking at?
Crotch grabs perhaps?
Captain Jason grew up to be a large young man.
Did we seriously get beat by Kyle Snyder?
This was a guy that wasn’t even good enough for the effin’ Royals?
Sigh
Captain Derek? Captain Jason? … isn’t it odd that a team named the Mariners have never had a Captain? I think at the very least Edgar should be an Honorary Commodore, or something.
At least the A’s lost.
The silver lining is we did just put the Yankees a little futher out of first place
#355: I think the problem is Grover’s still calling for the same guys from his old Orioles clubs. Jim Staton’s down in the bullpen trying to match names as best he can.
No out, two on, Bullpen phone rings
Hargrove (over phone): “Get Calvin Maduro warmed up!”
Slaton (muttering): “Maduro? We ain’t got no Maduro. Hey, Mateo, get warm!”
A walk, a single, and a HR later, Mateo enters the game.
Two walks and a HR later, the bullpen phone rings again
Hargrove: “I need Jorge Julio!”
Slaton: “Julio’s already in the game.”
Hargrove: “What? Fine, get Yorkis Perez warm.”
Slaton: “Perez? You pinch hit him last inning for Jones.”
Hargrove: “I did? What about Sean Douglass?”
Slaton (mutters): “We ain’t got no Douglass. You mean Sean Green?
Hargrove: Groom? No, I don’t want Buddy Groom, he’s a lefty. Who else we got left out there?”
Slaton: “J.J. Putz, he’s rested.”
Hargrove: “B.J. Ryan? No, I told you, I don’t want a Lefty. Let’s leave Jorge in the game.”
Slaton: “Fine. Hey Fruto, get some more coffee. Gonna be a long night.”
I saw this one at Safeco. I have never been to a game in Seattle with so many visiting fans there, and they made their presence known. Of course, they had several appropriate moments to express their allegiance.
388- Hit the nail smack square on the head.
Just got back. God damn was that a sad sack of a game.
388 is hilarious.
Im in Boston for the summer, so I acutally got to watch the game last night. The second Papi hit the dinger in the first, i knew the game was over.
388 is comedy at it’s highest lever. Great stuff.
sigh….so the 0-5 with the double play means that Willie Ballgame was responsible for 6 outs…wow!
Heads up guys the Mariners are playing… C-Rex in left.
re 394: Ouch!
394: Today’s lineup makes me want to cry. I seriuosly keep clicking gameday to see if maybe it will change.
Besides removing our 2 biggest bats from the lineup (was it REALLY necessary to give Ibanez a day off today…couldn’t he have waited till tomorrow when Lopez is back?), we’ve got freaking Perez at DH and Everett in LF…should be the otherwayaround.
and Bloomquist shouldn’t be hitting second. Hargrove has to be trying to get fired running this lineup out.
How does this work? Early in the year, Sexon can’t find his ass with both hands and can barely walk but Petagine sits and sits and sits. Suddenly the worst player on the team has a fit and we do this again? Confused in Seattle.
