Fister vs Lackey, 4:05 pm.
M’s have a new line-up today, and this edition comes with less Lopez. Thank God. Tui starts at third, while Langerhans plays left – Saunders’ shoulder is acting up again, and while he’s available to pinch run, they won’t let him hit in this series. He’ll get an MRI when they get back to Seattle.

Can I get a “Huzzah?”
Yay no Lopez! Don’t F this up Tui.
Good … and quite ironic that he would get a day off in the 1 park that suits his “pull offiness” the best. That’s quite a statement the team is making. It’s not hard to read between those lines.
The bell is starting to toll for thee, Jose. Fire up the U-Haul.
Huzzah!
Get well soon, Condor – if I’m reading Drayer’s latest post correctly, LF is waiting for you as soon as you’re well and truly healthy.
Now if only we had someone to bump Kotchman from first… or do we just wait a few more days and see Smoak again when rosters expand?
Probably, The lineup will get a huge overhaul from Opening Day next season, Smoak will start at 1st, no Grif, No Kotchman, No Lopez, atleast.
Well… I’d suggest not reading too much into this single game. Tui has started at third before, yet it didn’t presage any long-term changes. Baby Steps may very well be back in there tomorrow.
I’d love to see the M’s play the role of spoiler and end the Sox’s chances at nabbing the wild card. Misery loves company.
I guess its Fister pitching tonight not Pauley.
My wife laugh every time she hears “Fister.” That concerns me. No LOLopez? Hallejulah.
It is an amusing name.
I’m not getting any stats overlay on the MLB.TV…is everyone else having this problem? Or those of you on FSN?
No problems on FSN/Comcast, except for Kotchman trying to leg out a double
unsuccessfully.
Brown says Lopez and Paperboy are just getting a night off.
Thing is, Brown probably sees this as his chance to audition for the big time – just repeatedly throwing your young guys out there, even if it makes sense for the team, may be seen by him as not “managing enough”.
And here I thought that whole getting thrown out at home thing would have settled, in Kotchman’s mind, that he’s slow and shouldn’t run more than he has to.
If Tui steps up tonight he could start pushing Lopez out….. Thats a big IF.
Echo… echo… echo…
I fully expect that he will be, but the bell has begun to toll. His M’s playing days are numbered … whether that day be tomorrow, September 1 or October 4. It’s not like he hits a lot of shots to the warning track at Safeco and just needs the fences moved in a bit to help his stats (sidebar argument with eponymous coward) … he just isn’t very good.
Nice, timely hit by Kotchman.
What is the all-time record for making “go on contact” outs at home plate?
Hi Carson
It really feels like Wak is sending signs in to Brown from the top of the monster.
That damn contact play hasn’t worked all year. You have a bunch of weak hitting players.. please, stop.
Dear Mr. Zduriencik,
When you are interviewing managerial candidates next year, I’d like you to pick the guy who says something like this, “Aggressiveness on the basepaths is all well and good if you have the personnel, but the cost of having a guy thrown out trying for the extra base can be huge, so I wouldn’t make aggressiveness into a mantra. I want a third base coach whom no one learns the name of because his calls are never controversial.”
Thanks.
Brandon Morrow: 6 IP 12k’s vs Yanks so far….
Good, bad or indifferent – isn’t it pretty much inevitable that Joey Cora will be on the short list of candidates?
Sean White doing what Sean White does best! Move the fences back!!
Don’t you want a RP that can get a strike out with guys on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out? Screw saving League for the 8th, White is not a good choice there.
Lol, Sean White. He didn’t even bother getting a shallow fly or a K to make you think he just maybe would be able to get out of the inning with just one run. Iwonder what a Sean White pitch looks like to a batter. Do they have time to salivate before they crush it?
They use Brandon League when down 9 runs. They use Sean White with two on and game is tied. #FAIL
I don’t understand. Every single regular fan knows Sean White SUUUUUUUUUUCKS! Why can’t a major league skipper figure it out?
In AAA White looked effective. Same reason Tui has Brown’s favor.
“He pitched pretty good for me in Tacoma.”
Well stated
Is this a rhetorical question?
^5 Westside guy
The “3-man expendable band” will be appearing right after Rick Springfield at Tulalip Casino
No Golden Sombrero for the Muscle!!! Hahaha…
Somehow, I don’t think Brown is the answer.
I’d love to be proven wrong.
Ha ha! The thumbs are faster than the fingers, Mr. Breadbaker!
All of a sudden, Figgin is batting .252 and is second in the lineup.
Depends on the question…
Maybe that’s why the young guys aren’t getting playing time. 1-15, 7K’s combines for tui, Moore, woody, and langer. Ugly.
By what metric do Woodward (34) and Langerhans (30 something) qualify as “young guys?” Maybe in terms of life expectancy – from any known actuary tables – provided by your friends at Safeco Insurance … but not in baseball or any other major sport. Probably not even in bowling – would they be considered “young guys.” Actually ancient for Tennis. Mabye young for Jai Alai? Croquette? Golf – sure, let’s go with Golf.
Compared to me… 🙂
I hear that!
