Game 150, Mariners at Blue Jays

French vs Rzepczynski, 4:07 pm.

The final two weeks of the season kick off in Toronto, as the M’s head up north and try to put some runs on the board. The Blue Jays will, that’s for sure. This year’s breakout star, Jose Bautista, will likely hit his 50th home run of the year in this series. Given that French is a flyball lefty, I’d actually bet on him doing it tonight. The M’s will have to string together some hits if they want to be competitive in this series.

Ichiro, RF
Figgins, 2B
Lopez, DH
Smoak, 1B
Langerhans, LF
Moore, C
Saunders, CF
Tuiasosopo, 3B
Josh Wilson, SS

    I don’t understand not moving Saunders up, the keeping young guys down in the order isn’t in play when Smoak is hitting cleanup

    Well interest in Mariners baseball seems to have reached a low ebb today.

    But how about the Rainiers? Another half-hour and they are playing the I.L. champs.

    Adam Moore with a nice 8 pitch BB.

    Because he’s horrible vs. lefties

    Looks like the Rainiers are playing in Toronto. Six of nine in the lineup plus the pitcher all played in Tacoma at least part of the year.

    I’m sorry for doing this, but if you’re bored between innings (or watching HRs), travel over to the Times website and look at the comments in regards to Kelley’s column on Ichiro.
    It seems absolutely astounding that some people could be so out of touch. I’m stunned.

    That was weird. I wonder if Rzepczynski just didn’t have a good feel on the ball and decided to hold it?

  8. spankystout on September 21st, 2010 4:46 pm

    Ichiro with another baserunning blunder. Ugh…..

    I think Frenchie’s got an outside shot at recording only flyball outs.

    Rainiers set to start their game! Woohoo something else on besides another Mariners loss.

    Where’s Guti? Is he injured or ill?

  12. Willmore2000 on September 21st, 2010 5:49 pm

    Tacoma game is on Versus, btw.

  13. Carson on September 21st, 2010 6:06 pm

    Ryan Feierabend has three pick-offs.

  14. Westside guy on September 21st, 2010 6:08 pm

    Did anyone ever hear/see an explanation for why Guti is out again?

    (Sorry, jut got home)

  15. Westside guy on September 21st, 2010 6:11 pm

    That was a base hit? (by Tui)

  16. Carson on September 21st, 2010 6:14 pm

    No one dropped it, so yeah.

  17. Swungonandbelted on September 21st, 2010 6:18 pm

    Nice AB Figgins….

  18. Westside guy on September 21st, 2010 6:20 pm

    Okay, I guess I’m showing my ignorance – so the rule is if no one drops it, it’s a hit? Even though that really should’ve been caught without requiring any extraordinary effort?

  19. Swungonandbelted on September 21st, 2010 6:20 pm

    Way to f*** up the rally Lopez.

  20. Westside guy on September 21st, 2010 6:21 pm

    Lopez is NOT the guy I want up in this situation…. and as I write that, he strikes out.

    Of course if Branyan is out, I’m not sure who I’d replace him with. Actually yes I am – almost anyone else on our pathetic team would still be preferable to Lopez.

    From the horses mouth as it were http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/official_scorer_10.jsp

    …The official scorer shall charge an outfielder with an error if such outfielder allows a fly ball to drop to the ground if, in the official scorer’s judgment, an outfielder at that position making ordinary effort would have caught such fly ball.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to find out by tomorrow’s game that Tui’s double has been taken away and an error charged…

    I blinked and missed this game.

    The Rainiers have been getting hammered, but they have rallied back to 12-6.

    FWIW, the Rainiers are playing a several guys with MLB experience in Seattle, including Feierabend (who started) and Snell, both of who – well, you see the score. OTOH, I don’t recognize a single name in the Clippers lineup.

    ICHIRO!!!
    Among the dross, awesome as always.
    That was like a master giving a technical class on how to hit a slider.
