Game 123, Mariners at Indians

DMZ · August 22, 2009 at 3:10 pm · Filed Under Mariners 

The M’s bullpen is supposed to be rundown, “achy” with Jakubauskas unavailable. And yeah, if you’re a fan of winning, this might get tough, since in terms of guys who haven’t pitched in 2/3 it’s Lowe, Batista, and Kelley.

And it is Fister. The Indians aren’t quite the offensive juggernaut the 2009 Yankees are though, so if Fister’s orders are to go six or seven at any cost, maybe it won’t work out as badly as it did for Snell.

    Thanks TVProducer! So does Fister go one more inning?

    Say! Did you know that “In Game 3 of the 2008 World Series, Hallion made a call that ruled Carl Crawford safe, when he was clearly out. The call extended the inning and eventually cost the Philadelphia Phillies 2 Runs?”

    I think Gutierrez should wear the catcher’s gear while roaming the outfield.

    Liam: was the on field delay a result of an injury to Guti? I don’t have access to the radio broadcast right now…

    One of the Cleveland players was hit by a pitch. I was referring to the fly ball that Gutierrez caught, but had a close encounter of the Saunders kind.

    What is it with ball players and their need to pat each other on the butt?

  7. msb on August 22nd, 2009 6:27 pm

    Gosh, I hope we get some offense for Christmas.

    What is it with ball players and their need to pat each other on the butt?

    Or the constant need to pat their own crotch, especially relief pitchers. “Uh, yup. Still down there.”

    A little late for this, but Saunders has looked a bit out of sorts tonight, hasn’t he?

  10. msb on August 22nd, 2009 6:38 pm

    And yet again!

    Kerry Wood is a tragic figure. It wasn’t that long ago that he was a true joy to watch, but these days it’s amazing to me he still has a job.

    Langerhan’s sac bunt dropped our chances of winning by 0.8%

  13. Liam on August 22nd, 2009 7:00 pm

    Scratch that, the numbers got mixed up. Increased by 0.2%

    I really like the Cleveland tv announcers. But this whole runner on third, less than two outs and not scoring thing.

  15. msb on August 22nd, 2009 7:07 pm

    I believe “Aargh” is an appropriate response to this game, thus far.

  16. Scottdids on August 22nd, 2009 7:21 pm

    So are we down to just Batista and Messenger in the pen now?

  17. djw on August 22nd, 2009 7:24 pm

    Is AArdsma not available?

  18. Tv Producer on August 22nd, 2009 7:24 pm

    White and Aardsma also in the pen.

  19. Scottdids on August 22nd, 2009 7:26 pm

    Not sure djw, I’m going by the info in the top of the thread.. Not sure if that means the other guys are actually unavailable though.. thinking if this game goes long, you might have to use one or more of them out of necessity.

    3-0 popout? Really, Ichi? You may be my hero, but sometimes you do some really inexpicably stupid things.

  21. Scottdids on August 22nd, 2009 7:28 pm

    Messenger’s cap looks sparkling new.

  22. msb on August 22nd, 2009 7:30 pm

    Ah, me.

  23. flashbeak on August 22nd, 2009 7:33 pm

    Good thing our offense is unbelievably clutch!

  24. Scottdids on August 22nd, 2009 7:54 pm

    Well that one hurt, the M’s outplayed the Tribe but couldn’t cash in any runners and let Cleveland hang around, and when you keep doing that eventually you’re gonna lose it. Cleveland you earned that one. Have a good night everyone.

  25. Nate on August 22nd, 2009 9:08 pm

    I feel like we gave it away more than Cleveland earned that one.

    What’s that? 3 losses in the bottom of the last inning in the past 5 games? C’mon guys! We won the other two. Let’s have a hold for the final 3 outs! We should be sitting on a 6 game win streak.

    sigh.

  26. kenshabby on August 22nd, 2009 9:23 pm

    I think we got the Messenger loud ‘n’ clear: Randy’s still a pretty dreadful pitcher. How’s this for a career line (excluding tonight):

    174 1/3 IP, 212 H, 115 SO, 80 BB, K/BB 1.44, tRA 4.71.

    Blech.

  27. Scottdids on August 22nd, 2009 9:42 pm

    Nate, I said ‘earned’ because Cleveland was able to take advantage of their opportunities. I don’t remember them stranding RISP after getting them there with no outs. Seattle didn’t take advantage at all, and deserved to lose tonight, even though they outplayed Cleveland overall.

    But Scottdids, this isn’t anything new, is it?
