Series Thread: M's @ Aholes: 4/26 - 4/29

Trammell game MVP. Homer for only run and game saving out to end game. They split if White doesn't thrown ball into LF yesterday.

 

[NWinAZ]

Is it just me or is, “exit velocity” the most useless stat in baseball for a hitter?

Just for you Goldshits #1

Well they let us have fun for a couple weeks. But as the of tale of Mariners goes, it never lasts.

So the 3rd SP to go down in the first 26 games. How is that 6 man rotation saving arms?

I just really like Tremmell...not just because he hit the game winning HR today, or made that awesome game ending catch, but because of his positive attitude and it looks and sounds like he is just having a ball playing a sport he loves. I'm sure his attitude must spill over in the DO and LR no doubt. He's a good role model for the little leaugers IMO.

The example is how they made-up the lineup. Veteran hitters with success in the big leagues. No there won't be another 116 win season, but hitting is contagious, or lack of hitting as well, and being solid up and down the lineup changes the game tremendously.

2001/Career
Wilson .265/.262
Olerud .302/.295
Boone .331/.266
Guillen .259/.285
Bell .260/.257
Martin .240/.276
Cameron .267/.249
Ichiro Rookie
Edgar .306/.312
McLemore .286/.259
Javier .292/.269
Buhner .222/.254

Outside of Boone, roids, and Ichiro, rookie unknown, the numbers are pretty much the same. So hitting on Boone and Ichiro were obviously the difference and probably unattainable today in free agent signings but we aren't looking to win 116 just 90-95 would be nice. Solid over spectacular.

Well the averages aren’t as high as I thought. I’m too lazy, now do the pitchers lol

The immaculate inning is the one I am confused by. Is the definition where it is 3 pitches which is what I have read after googling or the way I grew up with the way Niehaus use to say when Randy threw 9 pitches and struck everyone out.

No clue. As soon as Goldshit starts talking I stop listening. I would go with the Randy example.

I so remember that. Great call from Blowers.

I googled it and it says an inning where a pitcher throws an inning with just 3 pitches. But growing up it was striking out the side on 9 pitches. So guess not sure which one is better considering both are great. But f exit velo and launch angle. Batting averages have plummeted when those two got introduced into baseball. Stupid crap has been moved into HS and JRHS

Called by Niehaus. Blowers made the ridiculous prediction.

Kikuchi might finally be finding it. Pretty incredible outing today, and that play he made on the chopper in the 7th was really athletic.

All in all we got through that 8 game gauntlet pretty well. 1 real hiccup inning in game 3 killed us, but that's not going to happen often.

We should miss Ohtani pitching in the next series, and for the love of god, walk Trout every time you can! They posted his 1st inning stats against us the other day. Dude has 15 1st inning HRs!

Weren't 6 of those against Felix?
