Eaton vs The King.
Gut feeling, but I think we’re going to see Good Felix today.

Nice day to be at the ballpark. This might be the last chance this season to catch Felix at home in the sunshine. I thought they were going to skip a start or two for Felix to keep him under 200 IP — or are they just going to run him until he bumps into the limit and then shut him down?
So at this point the M’s are playing to (1) not come in last in the division and (2) try to be .500 on the season. You know, with this lineup all year and someone other than Hargrove managing, they might be already there…
felix skips next start
Julio Franco is now playing third for the Mets. I reckon that he’s the oldest player to play the position in quite a while.
Hopefully we can outscore the Seahawks today.
jimmy austin played 3rd for 1929 st. louis browns at age 49
Florida got a 12K 1BB 3H complete game shutout from DTrain today vs. the Phillies.
Bloomquist and Rivera in the lineup today. The M’s are going to need the Good Felix.
he’s got joel socks today, could be an omen
romeo driving today
8. yes
Say hello to Future Mariner, Adam Eaton…
Doyle may have a hole inside, lots of Ks there lately

A healthy Eaton would be better than Schmidt, wouldn’t he?
Uh… no.
There’s actually an old joke I learned in the third grade:
Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a Smart Blonde, and a Healthy Adam Eaton are standing in four opposite corners… yadda, yadda, yadda who gets the dollar first?
None of them, I can’t remember why.
12
Why not take both
13
LOL JI, it took me long enough, but I hear ya!
We gotta get Matsuzaka and THEN worry about someone else. Definitely need two more starters to go with Wasburn and Felix and whoever the heck the fifth starter will be.
Real slow tonight.
ichiro now 1-27 with risp since july 23
I frankly cannot believe there are only 17 comments in a game thread in the bottom of the 5th without the site being down. I must be missing something.
The NFL
19, exactly.
too warn out from last night, and NFL
Boy, I just got in, and it didn’t take long for me to catch up on the chatter.
We better not lose on a sacrafice fly.
Especially in a 1-0 game with Felix pitching. Can anyone who’s watching tell me how he’s looking? From Gameday he seems like a groundball machine today, eight groundouts and five groundball singles.
Slowest. Thread. Ever.
So Grover leaves Felix out to twist last time when he didn’t have his A-Game, but this time he is over cautious and pulls him before he can finish six in a 1-0 game? Perhaps Hargrove should not retain his mangarial position.
If we could just find a compromise between running him into the ground and being over-protective…
Aw, sh*t, bases loaded. This has the potential to get real ugly real fast…
maybe a doyle reference on the telecast will heats things up a bit.
Bunt? I’m literally angry with rage.
Good thing Ichiro was moved into scoring position by that bunt…
Not only bunt, but bunt w/ runner on 2nd and no outs, down one? Unbelievable.
It also may be the last sunny & warm weekend day of the year, so a lot of the people who aren’t watching football are probably out doing something in the sunshine…possibly at Safeco.
But wait, DMZ is back? Somebody should’ve notified us — we could’ve thrown a party.
a bunt and a double play account for the three outs in an inning that started with an Ichiro double. grrrr….
who was the clown with the doyle sign at safeco ?
Minnesota is charging HARD, gettin tense in Detroit.
What the heck? I go in the other room for what couldn’t be more than 15 seconds with Richie up and there’s already a commercial signaling the end of the inning?
I know this is a meaningless time to ask this question, but why did we get rid of Yorvit T.? We only get 25 spaces on our roster and everyone knows one of those must be a backup catcher, isn’t it worth having a decent backup rather than a sub-par fill in?
Pretty sad to see how far out of the zone the M’s are going with Eaton’s strikeouts.
Broussard!!!

Good point. Hopefully they’ll overhaul this impatient line up next year. Waaaaay too many guys that refuse to wait for a strike to swing at. Heck, that’s pretty much everyone but Snelling come to think about it.
35: I think we traded Torrealba kind of as a favor to him, so he could get regular playing time. There may have been other factors as well, but that’s all I know.
35. I think Mariners brass was doing Torrealba a favor by trading him to Colorado, giving him an opportunity for more playing time than he would have gotten here behind Kenji. Just a guess though.
Welcome back DMZ.
Littleton looks like he’s tripping (literally) on each pitch. Weird weird footwork.
39. Oops, sorry for the cross-posting.
When you swing at balls out of the zone, that’s what you deserve, Willie.
Didn’t we get Carvajal for Torrealba? Then we lost him because of the 40 man crunch at the beginning of the season, right? But I think we all thought that was a pretty good deal at the time.
Bloomquist and Sexson are haveing off days,
well Sexson is
Bloomquist is just bad.
I heard that Ichiro guy is kinda good.
Chris Snelling Bunting Machine!!!
Chris Snelling, Sacrificial Lamb.
“First Pitch” Yuni strikes again.
Isn’t that at least three sacrifice attempts by Snelling in the last two games? What a waste.
It would be nice if SOMEONE could get more than one base on a hit today. I guess he wants Snelling to bunt his way out of his slump…sigh
Nice inning Grover, managed his way to three outs
Remember when relief pitchers were able to throw more than one inning?
54
Ironically it was about the time that starters could go past six and no one was surprised
Too bad we won’t be seeing Putz in this game, since there won’t be any save opportunities.
Huber pitches up in the zone too much. Sorta reminds me of Brian Sikorski of Cleveland. Hopefully this doesn’t get ugly. Young always kills us, so I’m not particularly hopeful.
Rivera’s horrific bat is now being matched by his glove.
Rene Rivera, Major League Catcher.
Glad we had the infield on that curve down the middle with two strikes…sigh
infield IN…
Every decision Grover makes today (and most days) doesn’t work.
M’s let Rangers score another just to get out of the inning
Game over
He has to go home or flip it to second to try for the force DP.
Gameday can’t figure out what happened. Anybody want to fill me in?
Rivera sucks. Our defensive rundowns suck. At least our defensive rundowns only hold back our defense, though.
Doesn’t bringing the infield in raise the opposing batting average buy something like 100 points?
4-3-6 DP, NOT A FORCE ON FINAL OUT, RUN SCORED Before final out
It was the same play you saw in the highlights for the Florida no-hitter. Grounder to the second baseman, the runner eludes his tag, ball to first for the force, run-down to get the man advancing to second. Differnce being that the man on third had time to score. In Florida, there was no man at third, among other differences.
Part of our many offensive issues is having three X-base hits the last 22 innings.
Now would sure be a nice time for one.
Also, when was the last Lopez homer?
Ugly swings.
Last May? lol
Not with a bang, with a whimper.
Why Jones there? They might have used a PR for Richie, but they should have saved Jones to pinch run for the tying runner.
Why no longer matters as the DP goes down.
Brutal offense…just brutal
I think the book on Jose now is away, away, away, away, and away.
You know what they say. You can’t win every game.

But its not like our typical “singles, no walks and multiple base running error” type of game is a rare occurence.
How many dp’s did we hit into today? Ugh
Derek! welcome back! did you have some Guinness for us?
so, was Ichiro safe at 2nd? it was hard to tell from the 3rd level.
ah well– nice day, frustrating game … and why can’t Doyle hit rather than bunt?
Morse is the Man.
#32–It was me with the Doyle sign at Safeco. No, we weren’t the crew of fat people in front of it, but the people slightly off screen a row behind them, so my mom says. We couldn’t get front row seats, so we just got there early, and used extra shoelaces to tie it on…except we ran out, so I had to sacrifice one. All in all, it was very much worth it.
RF better be called “The Outback” now…
#80 Nice Call
Game summary: Good Felix, bad hitters, worse manager.
RF better be called “The Outback” now…
I like that! “No rules, just right field.”
Outback Steakhouse should really sign Doyle up to do some commercials in the offseason. And they should pay me for the slogan, too
it would be nice to hear an Outback ad with even a vaguely Australian accent in it….
80. i was shocked that no one remarked about the sign during the game, i even gave fair warning that “doyle” would make an appearance.
#84: Yeah, it’s cool though. I’m going to take it to the rest of the games this season…just put it in RF before the game if I can’t get seats there. It’d be great if the USSM/LL crowd could come and try to get his attention drawn to the signs…heh.
Actually, a USSM and/or LL night at Safeco would be pretty awesome. Someone should organize it.
tell me where the signs will be and i’ll see what i can do on the telecast.
Not sure when the next game I go to will be, but I’ll let you know, and I’ll bring the signs…even if I’m not in RF, I’ll probably put the signs there before the game…
Maybe extend the sign: “Doyle’s Outback” like Ichiro’s “Area 51″
#88 That was what I was hoping to have happen…since Area 51 is CF, and The Boneyard is the Kingdome, I was hoping “Right Field is: The Outback Starring Chris Snelling” would get them to call it that on TV… No luck…yet.
89. no signs = no tv mention . . . . good signs = possible tv mention(s)
90–We get the signs on TV and they talked about them, but Rick seemed to think the big fans in front of us made the signs and were fans from down under. He did call him “Christopher Doyle Snelling”…just no mention of RF being “The Outback”…maybe we’ll get more next time…
it’s a work in progress
