Game 41, Mariners at Rockies
Millwood vs White, 5:40 pm.
The M’s go DH-less for three days in a National League park, and to start the series, Jesus Montero is the guy losing out on playing time, as John Jaso gets the start against a right-hander. He’s certainly played well enough to deserve more playing time, and Montero isn’t exactly lighting the world on fire this year. I’d imagine you’ll see Montero back in there tomorrow.
Also, to protest the constant focus on batting order, I present today’s position players in alphabetical order. They’ll all bat a few times, except maybe Millwood, who is probably pitching for his job the next few times out.
Dustin Ackley, 2B
Mike Carp, LF
John Jaso, C
Kevin Millwood, SP
Brendan Ryan, SS
Michael Saunders, CF
Kyle Seager, 3B
Justin Smoak, 1B
Ichiro Suzuki, RF

haha, I don’t know if I’d say it works, but he certainly tries!
What’s more annoying… Seeing a called 3rd strike in a situation like that, or a swinging strike-out on a terrible pitch?
Well, Ackley’s hitting streak appears to be over.
Looks like League is going to get an easy save in a few.
I hear Rob Johnson is pitching tonight.
That must be a good game.
Seager triple!
I step out to feed the cats and I return to see Seager on 3rd. Did he hit a triple?
Wow Smoak – wtf?
Nothing is easy with League…
Should have refreshed the page before asking that 😛
stevemotivateir
Seager hit a triple.
Selfish Seager – trying to ruin Brandon League’s night…
Wait – RoJo is pitching somewhere??? hahahahaha…
Jaso!!
Yeah. I just looked it up. The Mets starter gave up 4 homers in 3 inning. The first reliever gave up another.
Rob actually pitched an inning, no hits and a strikeout.
Nice play be Seager there.
Some fans started booing the hit by pitch, then they sort of realized, oh, wait, and started cheering.
9th inning and Kevin’s diving after a ball like a center fielder!
Good for Rojo, Paul.
I bet the guy Rob struck out is getting razzed.
A complete game shutout in Coors Field is a hell of an effort
Well done Millwood!
Nice game for Millwood.
Game! Who would have thought, that Millwood would come into Colorado, and pitch a 2-hit shut-out?!
I didn’t see most of it, but yeah – good job by Millwood.
I like seeing that Jaso was the one behind the plate during this pitching gem. Reason #436 why Olivo’s D and “game calling” or whatever is completely overrated.
Also, Jaso is the ONE guy who CONSISTENTLY seems to have a clue w/ a runner at 3rd & less than two outs.
I agree, IdahoInvader. Olivo’s D is overrated. Jaso deserves credit for this two-hit shutout, perhaps even more than Millwood. What a gem he caught tonight!
Millwood was unbelievably on his game w/ his location. I’d never take away any credit from Millwood, even if it would benefit Jaso. But its a reminder that Olivo’s contributions are pretty much fantasized by Wedge.
