<p>It looks like Edgard will have to buy a chick fillet franchise.</p>

<p>We don't have an identity, like we did last season. We're a collection of individuals, some veterans who had success elsewhere mostly, that plays against teams. If things happen to go well, we win. But we don't really jell. We don't assert our will on the field. We kinda just hope that things will work out, night after night.</p>

<p>Every time this team engenders hope it promptly dashes it. To borrow from a much more serious situation, I quote the #Book of Revelation, "So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth" (3:16, ESV).</p>
#DaddyO #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>They can't win em all......but winning that majority, or even half, would be nice.</p>
#Browns8625 #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>This team just seems...dysfunctional.</p>
#rick82 #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>think I'll go stab my cuticles with sawed-off razor blades...much more fun than this team.</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Well so much for continuing to watch the game tonight. Elias gives up 5 in the fourth inning. Make that 6 as I type this.</p>
#DaddyO #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>I can't believe Zunino got on top of that.</p>
#MtGrizzly #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Very good. I saw he tweaked his delivery when they put him in minors past month or so.. 24 pitches in first is Def great sign.</p>
#Browns8625 #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Guti could have a Stan Javier kind of impact on this team. They need competent OF AB's something fierce.</p>
#MtGrizzly #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Duffy has GREAT stuff tonight...but Mariners worked him for 24 pitches in the first...good sign?</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Gotta know.. who has who in cws tonight. I'm shooting for Vandy</p>
#Browns8625 #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Royals Duffy hasn't pitched in majors since mid may. Hope those bats can stay hot tonight</p>
#Browns8625 #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>HUUZZZAH!!! Finally, they get someone up here who can hit for the bench.</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com<div class="indented">Reply - mickiholley - 9/2/15 10:39am<br>bout time too!</div>
<p>About time they call up Guti. <a href="http://mynorthwest.com/258/2777481/Mariners-bring-up-Franklin-Gutierrez-... target="_parent">http://mynorthwest.c...</a></p>

<p>In 2014, to start the year, Kuma was out with a torn finger tendon. He was replaced by Hector Noesi, and Erasmo Ramirez was in the rotation, so you had Iwakuma injured and Noesi frazzing. Roenis Elias took over for Noesi on April 9, 2014, and there was a five day period where the PCC was violated, so the offense shut down and didn't score any runs for four games. Then On April 15, 2014, Blake Beaven took James Paxton's start. And on it went.</p>

<p>The pitching calamity constant is an immutable rule of baseball, like the rule of two for the Sith. For example, when the Mariners started the year, Iwakuma and Walker were frazzing out. When Walker got his mojo back, James Paxton tweaked his finger and Iwakuma went on the DL.</p>
#mojician #seattlesportsinsider.com<div class="indented">Reply - mickiholley - 9/2/15 10:40am<br>the pieces of the puzzle just would not pull together for the team!</div>
<p>I think you got to be happy with the rotation at starting pitchers. Bullpen needs help...and need more offensive games like last night</p>
#Browns8625 #seattlesportsinsider.com<div class="indented">Reply - mickiholley - 9/2/15 10:44am<br>steady offense is key to a winning season.</div>
<p>moj...that may be what they do (keep Happ in case of disaster)...but with both Paxton and Iwakuma back, their rotation goes 7 deep and 8 if you include emergency spot starts by Vidal Nuno.</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Trade Happ!@#$%^&. Here is a SABR formula to chaw: R=N-2, where R is the rotation, and N is the number of pitchers on hand, and 2 is the pitching calamity constant. It is written that at least two starters are ineffective or injured at any one time. So, if you wanted a rotation of 5, you would need 7 starters. This is Lloyd McClendon's formula. If you don't account for continual calamity, then the team will be continually understaffed. When (if) Paxton and Kuma come back, some other bad thing will probably happen.</p>

<p>(and to allay your worries, Browns, yes...I did have a good time with last night's game. :) )</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com<div class="indented">Reply - mickiholley - 9/2/15 10:45am<br>how could you not!</div>
<p>There is zero chance that Romero ever does anything but hit .200 with an occasional dinger. Zero. Unless and until he gets his K rate down, he's the guy with four holes in his swing in my eyes.</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Happ is a nice piece, but I'd rather trade him if Kuma or Paxton makes progress before the deadline in exchange for an outfielder.</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>For some players...AAA is a thousand miles from the big leagues. Romero...is one of those players. AAAA all the way.</p>
#SABR_Matt #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Hey Matt, someone should see about getting Romero removed from the AAA Tacoma lineup, since that is as close as anyone's gonna get to the major leagues, and he shouldn't be even remotely close to them.</p>
#seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>OBF - They've got Seth for this season and next, so no big urgency in getting a deal done there. Happ is a FA but I need to see more of the 'first six weeks of the season' Happ before I would even think about an extension. Right now, it looks like he's the fifth best starter in #Seattle with Kuma and Paxton on the horizon. I'm not even sure that Happ is in the rotation a month from now.</p>
#MtGrizzly #seattlesportsinsider.com
<p>Well I hope you liked watching last night's game...</p>
