Game 99, Red Sox at Mariners

Matsuzaka vs Fister, 1:10 pm. Man, that was an exciting game last night. Did you see that _______ (play) by ________ (player)? That was terrific. Of course, we all could have done without _______ (baserunning mistake/error/double play) by _______ (Lopez). That kind of sucked, right? Oh well, hopefully __________ (young player in [...]

The Fight

I leave for the weekend – it was great, thanks for asking – and, of course, a player gets in a fight with the manager in full view of the TV cameras. Figures. As the guy in charge of the big Mariner blog, I feel like I’m supposed to write about this. [...]

Minor League Wrap (7/19-25/10)

This one is on time! I don’t really know about the ones in the coming weeks… Well, let’s get to it, shall we? To the jump! Odds and Ends: I don’t have any big item for this week, but here are a few tidbits from the week. One is that the MLB has instituted blood testing throughout [...]

Game 100, Mariners at White Sox

Hernandez vs Danks, 5:10 pm. Happy Felix Day. As has been pointed out in several different places recently, Felix is having essentially the same season he had last year. His numbers are almost identical across the board in every meaningful category. His walks are the same, strikeouts the same, home runs the [...]

Accepting Randomness

I try to avoid linking to things I write other places, because I don’t want to become a self-promoter and I figure most of you probably know how to find my stuff at FanGraphs, WSJ, or ESPN anyway. But, I’m making an exception today, because my afternoon post over at FG is the kind [...]

Rowland-Smith vs Floyd, 5:10 pm. In a rush, so not much to say about this one, other than bet on Chicago – this is the wrong environment for RRS to try and fix his HR problem.

The Problem With RRS

We’ve gotten a lot of emails asking for a post about Ryan Rowland-Smith’s problems, so by popular demand, here you go. This one just isn’t that complicated, though. There’s no great insight to be found here – it’s just as simple as the fact that he hasn’t had any command this year. [...]

Game 102, Mariners at White Sox

Vargas vs Buehrle, 5:10 pm. I posted this on twitter this afternoon, but here’s something depressing – the five lowest wOBAs in baseball over the last 30 days: 1. Justin Smoak, .171 2. Ivan Rodriguez, .175 3. Miguel Montero, .227 4. Ichiro Suzuki, .231 5. Franklin Gutierrez, .231 Jose Lopez is 11th at .260. Rob Johnson (.230) and Jack Wilson [...]

A Run at History

We’ve all seen it, and it certainly doesn’t take a sabermetric fan to understand that they were watching something historic. I’ve always hated the ‘if he keeps up this pace’ caveat, but the numbers were absolutely stunning. Simply put, he’d left his peers behind and was competing with the record book. Most [...]

Game 103, Mariners at White Sox

Pauley vs Garcia, 5:10 pm. Tonight should be an interesting test for Pauley. Similar to Doug Fister, he pounds the zone with mediocre stuff and relies on getting hitters to get themselves out, which doesn’t work all that well in a ballpark where the ball flies pretty well. But, if he can [...]
