Game 68, Angels At Mariners

Weaver vs Fister, 7:10 pm.
The Mariners are going to need Doug Fister to be excellent tonight, though Jered Weaver does have some of the most extreme home/road splits in baseball, and Safeco isn’t as friendly to flyballing RHPs as Anaheim’s stadium is. Maybe the M’s can get one or two up in the air and out to right field.
Oh, and we get our first look at Mike Carp in left field tonight.
Ichiro, RF
Ryan, SS
Smoak, 1B
Kennedy, 2B
Cust, DH
Olivo, C
Carp, LF
Halman, CF
Figgins, 3B

I certainly don’t want to know what you think about Weiner. Hopefully there’s no naked pictures of Norm Dicks!
Yay Fishy keeps hitting.
Carp is a bright spot tonight.
Figgins made a routine play!
Rejoice!
Figgins to lead of the 6th inning. He can’t be horrible if he leads off…..
Think Ichiro and Figgins on the same team like oil and water…bad feng shui or whatever.
You know what could make it safer for the umps? taking them out of the game
42 pitches in the 1st inning
66 pitches the next 6 innings
c’mon Bust!!
Can we trade Figgins, Cust, and Kruger for a half dozen eggs and an avocado?
I don’t think Ichiro is going to hurt his UZR tonight, he’s made a couple of great plays.
Carp hasn’t been as bad as I thought, and as tough as that last play was I won’t hold it against him, but he doesn’t get any credit for being close either.
Carp better be out there again tomorrow. Another hit should seal it.
Sustitute Peguero for Cust and that’s what the lineup should look like on a regular basis.
RF-Ichiro
SS-Ryan
1B-Smoak
2B/3B-Kennedy
CF-Gutierrez
DH-Peguero
C-Olivo
LF-Carp
3B-Figgins/2B-Ackley
Hopefullly the #9 hole is eventually replaced by Ackley.
Good to see Ichi hitting it!
Ichiro! Four consecutive multi-hit games.
Ichiro! is back 😀
Nice to see see the Yankees tag Ogando with 6 earned runs, another outing like that it may open the door for Pineda to mad the All-Star team.
That and allowing the M’s to stay within 2 of the Rangers almost makes me happy the Yankees won.
FFS. Never gain a game on Texas. Wish the bats would heat up a bit. At least Ichiro is looking better. I wish we had a 3rd baseman who could hit .250.
More than not gaining on Texas, it bothers me that we are letting the Angels get close. Not that I’m really surprised, we were thrown up against Haren and Weaver…yet somehow there was talk about a Seattle sweep. It was never a likelihood.
Oh…and back to .500
What’s an imdone?
I also think Cust has no future with this club, but if you are going to propose a change, at least use some facts, preferably ones that are true. True facts are the best kind.
Cust has been right around league average OPS+ all year long. Unless you are saying half the hitters in MLB have been awful?
Darn Angels! If we won the last two we would be tied for first place right now and our offense looks as though they could care less. This team can be really frustrating.
Missed the game tonight, but you guys complaining about the Ump, we get Angel Hernandez behind the plate tomorrow . Talk about horrible.
The only fun part of the game tonight, other than spending it with some really good friends we hadn’t seen in awhile, was the scoreboard breaking and at one point flashing that the batter was “Catcher Peguero”. I even have a picture of it.
The ray of light for me among the losses was Ichiro starting to look like Ichiro again.
The sharp sense of joy and relief made me realise again how much a fan of Ichiro I am.
And some media types might gripe that Ichiro is playing well again but the team looks a bit sucky (as if somehow that was his fault, jeezus!), but the phenomenon can be easily explained.
This is simply due to the fact that we faced some ace quality pitchers (Haren, Weaver). When Ichiro is on, it seems he can get hits off any pitcher, no matter how good. For the other Mariner batters it’s not so easy, and hence the gap in performance.
If we get a win today, the momentum is easily back. Hope everybody tees off Santana.
To illustrate a bit of the above, I still remember the “Buehrle no hits Mariners, 3 hits Ichiro” headline.
Well anyway, Santana’s going down in flames today!
Sam-
I like your point there… Against the top two guys in the 2nd best rotation in the American League, Ichiro is averaging 2 hits a game…
While the OTHER EIGHT GUYS in the lineup are averaging 4.5 hits combined per game.
This series:
Ichiro – 4 hits
Everyone Else – 9 hits
In other words: “He’s back!”
