Mariners/Giants Series Preview

Introduction that tactfully avoids mentioning last night's game.

Mariners Hitting

Every year, some random minor-league free agent type has a freaky-good year. This year, the answer was Russell Branyan. Russell Branyan. He's hitting .308/.389/.623, though I'm going to assume that's coming with a BABIP of .999. Other than that, the Mariners' lineup kind of resembles the Giants' lineup. I had no idea, but it kind of makes sense. One black hole of suck would consume us all, but two equidistant black holes of suck kind of stabilizes things.

Fat Ichiro hasn't been as good as Real Ichiro this year, but it's closer than you might think. Still, it's a safe bet that Real Ichiro is going to get eight hits this weekend, possibly in one inning against Brian Wilson.

And if you thought Adrian Beltre was the answer, please note that he his EqA is lower than Travis Ishikawa's this year. Wow.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go daydream about how awesome it would be to have Russell Freaking Branyan in our lineup.

Mariners Pitching

While some of us are laughing about the Mariners' 2006 first-round pick -- Guy Who Is Not Tim Lincecum, a fantastic talent having a rough start to the year -- the Giants' 2003 first-round pick is going to sneak up and make the Giants look like idiots. That stings, even if it's Aardsma's third team since the Giants. Something that stings even more: LaTroy Hawkins is having a better season than Brian Wilson.

Carlos Silva might be the worst pitcher in baseball right now. Thank goodness the Giants don't have to face him, as it's a given that he'd throw six or seven strong innings. And then the Mariners fans would think, gee, maybe he figured something out, which would just end up disappointing them. Erik Bedard and Felix Hernandez are a pretty sweet tandem -- mercifully, we miss Bedard in the series, though we should probably tack on a couple of strikeouts to Fred Lewis's total just to be safe.

If you want to save nine hours of your life, check out the new series preview feature:

What Will Happen This Weekend:

Game 1: Randy Johnson pitches well enough to win, and the Giants lead off each of the first seven inning with a double against Jason Vargas. They'll score one of the runners on two consecutive ground balls that are hit too weakly for the Mariners to make a play, but lose the game 2-1.

Game 2: Matt Cain pitches well enough to win, and the Giants get eight hits off Jarrod Washburn. Unfortunately, they'll hit into two double plays each inning, except for the eighth inning, in which they hit into three. The Giants lose 2-1.

Game 3: Felix Hernandez pitches a perfect game. He also reverses the rotation of the Earth and takes away some of the runners from previous games. Barry Zito pitches well enough to win. The Giants lose 2-1, with the Red Cross airlifting in a run that was donated by the Rangers. The perfect game will still count, though.

Hmm. Rereading this, it's coming off more optimistic than I intended. I certainly feel more pessimistic than this. Apologies for the Pollyanna post.

And don't forget to visit Lookout Landing. They're like us, but to an uncomfortable degree, so I don't trust them. They don't like LOLcats, though, so there are some significant differences. What's that? An excuse to post this again? Okay.

He is very athletic and shows flashes of what he could be, then its back to showing serious brain circuitry problems. Too me he is that most frustrating of young player types to watch. Think Velez but with more much more skills and a much more sporadic attention to the game.

The funnest part of this weekend will be the mediocre pitchers on both staffs looking awesome.
Matt Cain, Barry Zito, Jason Vargas, and Jarrod Washburn I have a feeling are all going to look like aces.

2008 ERA+ by each pitcher:
Jarrod Washburn: 90
Barry Zito: 85
Jason Vargas: not in the major leagues – 77 career ERA+
Matt Cain: 116

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn’t belong…

ERA doesn’t fly over there, Cain has a 4.85 FIP.

Well, I was looking at 2008 - sample size and all

So, their FIP in 2008:

Matt Cain: 3.91
Barry Zito: 4.72
Jarrod Washburn: 4.72
Jason Vargas: 5.12 in his career

Still works. Cain’s peripherals are worrysome this year, I know, but that doesn’t mean he’s Jarrod Washburn.

McCovey Chronicles are a bunch of idiots. The Giants have no chance this season. The Giants should be trading away players like Molina to in exchange for prospects. Not trade away prospects for a rental type player who’s not going to make a difference on that team.
I second McCovey Chronicles being idiots as they said “Ichiro can move back to RF”…uhmm hello MC, he has been in right field the entire season
“McCovey Chronicles takes a look at some deadline deal possibilities for the Giants, including Matt Holliday, Carl Crawford and Ichiro.”

Ichiro, no. Crawford, no. Holliday maybe if theyre willing to give up a lot of prospects. But even then, would Holliday sign long term in that massive park?

Im going to start a blog so I can invent my own trade rumours too. What a complete joke.

Hitting Lewis 7th is inexcusable. We have exactly one hitter who has an OBP above the league average. One. So what do we do with him? We bat him 7th, in front of the weakest player in all of the majors, and a pitcher with a career OPS of .308. Brilliant.
