Comments on: Dave on KJR http://ussmariner.com/2008/06/02/dave-on-kjr-6/ Seattle Mariners and general baseball discussion with David Cameron and Derek Zumsteg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:17:03 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: SCL http://ussmariner.com/2008/06/02/dave-on-kjr-6/comment-page-1/#comment-278187 SCL Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:41:09 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=5269#comment-278187 Dave -- really good stuff. You need a 30 minute spot each day. <blockquote> You softballed it when they asked you if anyone knew the team would be this bad, barely mentioning that the posted predictions here (some of them your own), and in other stat oriented sites/blogs all seemed to agree back in February that the M’s were going to be much worse than last year.</blockquote> As I remember, Dave's prediction was 83 wins. And when the Angel pitcher injuries were announced, Dave on KJR bumped to 84 wins. Various projection programs had the Ms in the lower to upper 70 wins, but the Dave being the optomist felt the team was better than that. Dave — really good stuff. You need a 30 minute spot each day.

They need to give you more than a 5 minute slot. Good stuff all around. I did notice you said that the Orioles shut down Bedard last year with elbow problems. Wasn't it an oblique strain? Man.

I found (as usual) that I had to have a triple shot Mocha to follow you on the radio. Lucky I was prepared ahead of time. But an observation: You softballed it when they asked you if anyone knew the team would be this bad, barely mentioning that the posted predictions here (some of them your own), and in other stat oriented sites/blogs all seemed to agree back in February that the M's were going to be much worse than last year. You avoided the opportunity to point out just how far off the mainstream sports reporting was. Why not take the bows? Slow down Dave.

The KJR guys know that I'm available pretty much whenever, so I'd imagine we'll probably keep doing the irregularly schedule thing until they get tired of me. No idea.
