Game 37, Mariners at Orioles

Happy Felix Day!
RF Ichiro
3B Figgins
1B Smoak
C Olivo
DH Cust
2B Kennedy
LF Peguero
SS Ryan
CF Saunders
P Felix
Peguero starts again with the right-handed pitcher on the mound. This probably makes sense considering that last year was the first in which Mike Wilson demonstrated no platoon splits. Prior to that, he had always been substantially better against left-handers, as one might expect. I’d be surprised if he didn’t start tommorow, though.
Ryan Langerhans cleared waivers and accepted his assignment to Tacoma earlier in the day. It’s still kind of surprising every time it happens.

You make sure the pitcher goes to the plate on a steal as well as a hit and run. That’s why you don’t see runners go before a pitcher lifts their leg. Unless it’s a left handed pitcher, where they usually go on first movement.
We can totally blame Figgins for not getting in front of that groundball though.
I think it was just a bad jump by Ichiro. You don’t ever really see a hit and run with 2 outs for the reasons that Henry described. A hit and run is a “pseudo” steal situation, but you make sure the pitcher commits for certain before breaking. Ichiro had a straight steal and a bad jump. Not Figgins’ fault IMO
Jose Lopez would have caught that.
Figgins could go ahead and get the game-winning RBI/hit three nights in a row…
I STILL want him the (bleep) gone from this team.
Worthless, gutless half-can of crap, that glove you’re wearing is a waste of leather.
Why don’tcha say “Ole!” one more time for us?
Yep.
Oozer … if spelled out and not in its acronym form.
Pequeno hit that off of his shoelaces
My God, Adam Jones owns the Mariners pitchers. He was batting, like, .255 before yesterday. Now he’s at .280.
Pequeno has got some work to do, doesn’t he?
Speaking of work to do … Saunders is up now.
CONDOR!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO!!!!!!!!!
Interim work period concluded
CONDOR TEARING APART SOME ORIOLES
So apparently Saunders finally found a pitch he liked.
Haha Ibuprofen, that’s somewhat… disturbing.
Speaking of work to do … Figgins is up now.
Speaking of work to do … Smoak is up now.
Please keep typing 😀
Only if Figgins can find some way to get on…
Crap, interim work period concluded
msfanmike, you going to get that fly swatter?
Are you a struggling American League team, adrift and unable to find your bearings? Mired in a funk seemingly without end?
Good news! The 2011 Seattle Mariners are on your schedule!
Product features:
* a journeyman catcher batting cleanup!
* a compulsion to strand runners at 2nd and 3rd with less than two outs!
* a habit of wasting quality starts through ill-timed defensive lapses!
What would you pay to have the Seattle Mariners turn around your season? $40? $50? Would you believe “absolutely nothing”?
(Testimonials by the White Sox and Orioles, followed by the obligatory 1-800 number…)
Well Peguero seems to be hitting decent now, just right at people <_<
LOVE it, GarForever!
Nice job by Pauley. Let’s go bats.
I like our ball girls better.
Saunders, Mike hates you – give him what’s for.
Screw these umps.
I don’t understand how umpires get away with these shitty strikezones, and players can’t get upset about it.
Baseball is a form of entertainment. I’m not entertained by power hungry umpires who don’t call the game the way the rule book says they should.
WOW. What the hell.
I guess I should’ve thought of a Canadian phrase instead.
I’d like to see Wedge get out there tomorrow if these umps keep up this bs.
ffs
Can we please get some form of umpire regulation enforced? This is getting ridiculous.
Thanks, Westside; now let’s just hope these guys make me look like a jackass for posting that…
Sigh. Another loss. Here’s hoping Vargas has got some stopper fluid in him tomorrow.
LOL … As a matter of fact, I am. And, I am driving 200+ miles for the privilege.
Hey, whatever works.
I would sure like to see Saunders hit well, but he can’t bank on an inner third fastball thigh-high when he is up at the plate. He hit a mistake pitch and he did not miss it. Next time up … no mistake – and nary a freakin swing. He isn’t good enough to let that many strikes go by. Granted, the 3rd one was a bit outside, but the umpire was kind of getting into a rhythm of calling strikes that he wasn’t going to swing at anyway … so what the heck – call one more (I guess). Saunders is becoming an enigma.
He must hope they never leave town.
Beat up by Jones, dominated by Tillman and reminded of Bavasi – at the same time as our Ace was having an off day.
Not super.
Tomorrow will be a better day. It almost has to be!
I was really hoping you could have ended up looking like a jack-ass, Gar4.
Maybe tomorrow.
re Langerhans.
It is surprising each time. You’d think somebody like the Twins or Padres or, I dunno, Pirates would take a free outfielder who has a little pop.
Dunno . . . maybe because the Pirates have a pretty good outfield already (including reserves) and don’t need Langerhans nearly as much as a team like the Mariners might.
