The M's walked a batter on 3 balls for the second time in nine days today. What the f***? Isn't it someone's job to pay attention to this?

it's the mariners who cares.

No but really though that's heinous.

Also CC's gonna mess around and take the Cy Young from Verlander here.

they should make the home run derby "mean something" so if the AL wins they don't have to use a pitcher to bat in NL parks in the WS

or ever again

I like the addition of K-Rod to the Brewers. I still think that he's a fantastic pitcher and that going to the Mets was just not a good move on his part. High-priced players always seem to underperform there

I was really tired today and felt like taking a nap. Thank god for the Mariners and the Rays/Red Sox game for assisting me in this endeavor today.

okay now let's see the Rays take a bunch of games when NY shows up!

I have to remember to look up the lowest BA among qualified hitters in a season to see if Dunn is challenging to hold that distinction

gotta post again about my buccos. Pitching is solid. I doubt were getting pence, but beltran, aramis, or pena would be worthwhile to pick up

starting pitching has been nothing short of amazing this year, but we might need another starter too. Hell id take another reliver as well.

But a bat is the most important thing.

ESPN did that for you, KCF -

Adam Dunn is hitting .158. That’s not a misprint. Yes, he draws some walks and has hit a few home runs. HE’S HITTING .158! Believe it or not, that wouldn’t be a major league record for a hitter who received at least 300 plate appearances. Bill Bergen hit .139 for the 1909 Brooklyn Superbas. Bergen is, quite simply, the worst hitter in major league history to have any kind of significant career. He had three extra-base hits in 346 at-bats that year and hit .170 in his 11-year career.

Back then he could have just been a friend of the owners.

Sox keep playing at being interested in Beltran but I doubt it goes anywhere.

Pathetic Seattle Mariners as usual tanking before the trade deadline.

They better trade away Felix.

Red Sox now 60-27 since that 2-10 start. Poor Mariners, I went to a game at Safeco 3 weeks ago, and there were something like 3 games behind the Rangers then.

90s games > 00s games

BJ Upton a possible trade... I wonder if that guy can get any better. He's such a low class bum that I really don't want him on the Yanks, but he definitely is a freak athlete, he'd be a terrific addition and tampa's a joke that can't afford him.

Hmmm

Maybe him and that Astros pitcher to turn things around. Yanks are on the precipice.

--

Tricky spot for TB. They're 6.5 back of NY in the wild card, 1 game behind LA, and a small market club. Do you trade now and hope for a better tomorrow? They unfortunately have no fans to alienate so whatever.

Kuroda wants Boston or NY. Outside of the NFL stuff I imagine that little headline will dominate sports talk here tonight.

--
Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

he's not even really that good of a pitcher. He won't survive in the AL East, so throw the book at him if you want. I have a feeling the Yanks are gonna get Felix by tossing away some of the Double A prospects. Seattle has lost 16 in a row and is a laughing stock to the baseball world. Their idea of free agency moves involves milton bradley and other cheap ways to screw their fanbase, they had best stock up on young talent.

--

CC is absolutely torching the Mariners and he's perfect through 6 1/3 with 7 straight strikeouts, but the game is now in rain delay and might even be rained out.

Sheesh.

He can definitely be a very solid player. I always got the feeling from him that he just doesn't seem to care, kind of like Mark Reynolds. Not saying they don't care about playing the game, it just seems like they don't care if they make a mistake, strike out with people on, ect, ect.

Justin Upton is turning into a monster, I can't imagine BJ being that much worse than what Justin is, considering most scouts said they have enormous talent, Justin just has a bit more. Though Justin actually cares if he f***s up.
He'll be a good addition for any one who wants him, he'll be great if the coaching staff can get more out of him.

I'm so f***ing sick of entitled yankee fans demanding the Mariners trade away Felix to them for some double-A prospect. We are not your f***ing farm system.

Also, this umpire in the Mariners/Yankees game has the largest strike zone I've ever seen when the M's are batting. He just called a strike on a pitch that nearly hit the batter.

Lol, Pirates got robbed by a horrible ump call.

The Pirates/Braves game was a huge disappointment because the game went 19 innings and neither team had to play a position player as a pitcher. If a game goes 19 innings, I want to see a position player pitching, damnit!

Hi. Big Pirate fan here! And absolutely pissed off about that call. How could you make that call?

--
Shining Force IV will rise!

Haha oh my god, I just saw the call. What the hell? That's probably the worst botched call I've ever seen in the MLB.

that was the worst call baseball has ever had. Worse than joyce. That call affected a game in the standings. Not to mention joyce acted like a professional afterward about it.

Its **** like this why baseball is losing popularity from everywhere not named philly, boston, ny. People are moving on to sports that actually IMPROVE their ability to get **** right. And its only getting more popular in those cities because of the bull **** advantage they have

"What do you call an umpire rushing to leave the stadium? Meals on Wheels."

I'm not even a Pirates fan and that call makes me infuriated. Saw it live and my head nearly popped off when I saw him call the runner safe. I've seen some BS calls from umpires looking to get out of extra innings or ninety degree weather, but never one this ridiculously bad.

The Braves radio play-by-play guy immediately named it the worst call he's ever seen. The guy doing the play-by-play for the team that won.

you want to know what you are? a pathetic organization that hasn't spent money or tried since we whooped your ass in the 90s. So yes, aside from Ken Grifey Junior and Ichiro Suzuki you're nothing but a fly on the radar and are our farm system.

Seattle had like a $115M payroll a few years ago. $85M in that division should be enough to be routinely competitive. They spend money they just spend it poorly.

yea, i'm pretty sure I mentioned it with Milton Bradley before. Good point. 115 really isn't a lot considering how much revenue they pull. Lots of gonna be HoF players from that 90s staff, be they former or currently retired players, a nice stadium, pretty dedicated fanbase. The owners pretend to piss gold and the fans like para get mad when teams like PHI NY and BOS try to win by all means. Blame your owners, not us. Trade us Felix.
