Game 37, Padres at Mariners

DMZ · May 18, 2007 at 6:23 pm · Filed Under Game Threads 

7:05. Chris Young v Miguel Batista. Mike Cameron returns to Safeco Field (yayyy!).

Standard lineup for the M’s. Padres field two Giles (Gileses?), and play Branyan at DH.

I wanted to say something about the Padres being our natural rivals, but we’ve made the point about how ridiculous it (and the way interleague play works) for years, and I don’t see much point in repeating it.

    yup right on cue

    I’m so glad he’s working his way out of this slump in the clean up slot.

    At least he’s predictable.

    I swear Sexson started to walk back to the dugout before the ball was even in the catcher’s mitt.

    Pads announcers after Sexson K: “He’s struggling.”

    yeah.

    Is it really possible Sexson had a lower OPS in May last year than this year?

  6. Thom Jimsen on May 18th, 2007 9:42 pm

    That was a “nails” play by Bell.

  7. Joe Bag o' Doughnuts on May 18th, 2007 9:43 pm

    We need a real-time chart showing Sexson’s BA drop.

    Does Guillen’s out really count as a groundout? Seems odd.

  9. lemonverbena on May 18th, 2007 9:46 pm

    should be a ‘knocked-down-by-pitcher’ throwout abbreviation… KDbPTO for those you scoring at home

  10. Joe Bag o' Doughnuts on May 18th, 2007 9:49 pm

    EBP could mean “Eaten By Pitcher”, especially common when Ray King is pitching.

    Just look at Fangraphs. Sexson is at -.110 WPA, which makes his “contribution” in this game almost twice as bad as Batista. The graph has also been bumping along at ~100% win for the Padres for about an inning now.

    nice change. please demote him for learning sake.

    obligatory fish-throwing B roll from “Pike’s Market”.

    fools.

  15. lemonverbena on May 18th, 2007 9:56 pm

    we… will…
    we… will… rock you!

    yeah right. can we double switch for Sextant?

  16. msb on May 18th, 2007 10:02 pm

    monday is the first Cleveland make-up game, right?

  17. Thom Jimsen on May 18th, 2007 10:02 pm

    #160: Ever read “Ate Men Out,” Terry Forster’s history of fat men in baseball?

  18. joser on May 18th, 2007 10:05 pm

    Yeah, Monday in Cleveland, Baek vs Sabbathia (ugh)

  19. lemonverbena on May 18th, 2007 10:05 pm

    Seattle ticket holders: drive home safely.
    Seattle television viewers: my condolences.

    I suppose it’s too early to light the fuse.. but I can’t see anyone with a warm brain pan thinking this season will amount to anything more than total mediocrity.

    I feel we will be very very bad.. for a very very long time. And that bites weenie.

    Points for Dave Sims: he says “express written consent”.

  22. Joe Bag o' Doughnuts on May 19th, 2007 12:11 am

    Sexson is down to a mighty .162 batting average.

  23. Tak on May 19th, 2007 4:22 am

    some guys drop their batting average after going 1-3
    some guys raise their batting average after going 1-5
