Did I hear that correctly? The Mariners are still running Chone Figgins out there?

2. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:32 PM (#4169869)

As a person on the East Coast, I appreciate these efficient innings from Cook.

3. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:33 PM (#4169870)

Cook getting the sinker working earlier tonight.

It helps that the Mariner offense blows chunks.

4. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:35 PM (#4169871)

Speaking of blowing chunks, Yankee kid taking CC's spot did so tonight, as did the bullpen. Dwayne Wise was their best pitcher.

5. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:47 PM (#4169874)

Mercy, Figgins is a bust.

6. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:49 PM (#4169876)

Put that AB in amber: Aaron Cook actually struck someone out.

7. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:49 PM (#4169877)

12 pitches to get through that inning, Cook? C'mon!

8. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:52 PM (#4169878)

Hector Noesi sucks. They really should do something second time through the order.

9. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:55 PM (#4169881)

Nuts. Papi hit that pretty well, but this place is apparently big.

10. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:56 PM (#4169882)

Dear Adrian:

Please go on a serious hot streak. This "Saltalamacchia hitting clean-up" thing is messing with my mind.

11. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:57 PM (#4169883)

It's the inverse of New Yankee Stadium as tricked out joke parks.

12. plink Posted: June 29, 2012 at 10:58 PM (#4169884)

There's an article on... Fangraphs? today about how the ball just doesn't carry at Safeco. Certainly the last two games have had anecdotal evidence.

13. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:00 PM (#4169885)

Every shot of John Lackey in the dugout makes me annoyed. I'm not a big one on intangibles, but his absence this year seemed to be a big intangible benefit.

And nervous, even though I know there's no way he'll actually pitch in this game.

14. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:01 PM (#4169886)

Mouth breathing is bad luck.

15. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:02 PM (#4169887)

I chirp was out.

16. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:02 PM (#4169888)

That's Ichiro.

17. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:05 PM (#4169891)

Five-pitch inning WITH an infield single mixed in.

18. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:05 PM (#4169892)

Awful close, at least. Not worth arguing, but pretty close.

5 pitches. Get some runs, guys.

19. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:08 PM (#4169895)

Will Middlebrooks thinks this park is tiny.

20. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:08 PM (#4169896)

Nice job, Will!

21. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:09 PM (#4169897)

Cody Ross - not impressed by Middlebrooks.

22. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:10 PM (#4169898)

Uh, wow.

Like I said, second time through the order.

23. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:11 PM (#4169899)

BTW, ask Adrian Beltre how hard it is for RHB to hit HRs to that part of the yard.

24. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:12 PM (#4169900)

To be fair, Beltre wasn't facing the Mariners' pitching at the time.

25. Biff, highly-regarded young guy Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:13 PM (#4169901)

Dingers!

26. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:13 PM (#4169902)

Well, this is not how I saw the Red Sox scoring runs tonight.

27. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:14 PM (#4169903)

Almost as hard: a Nava LH HR, in any park.

28. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:15 PM (#4169904)

I take that back, he really does have much more power from that side, doesn't he.

29. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:19 PM (#4169906)

TWO strikeouts!

30. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:20 PM (#4169907)

There's apparently no reason not to hit the strike zone against the Mariners - best case scenario seems to be an infield hit.

31. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:22 PM (#4169911)

Cook could have a 75 pitch complete game.

32. dirk

Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:25 PM (#4169913)

43 pitches through 5. that's jon lieberesque.

33. plink Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:26 PM (#4169914)

This park is tiny!

34. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:26 PM (#4169915)

Assaultalamacchia!

35. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:27 PM (#4169916)

Did I mention that Noesi sucks?

36. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:27 PM (#4169917)

afternoon all

37. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:28 PM (#4169919)

If Noesi finishes this inning, there's a pretty good chance of Cook only throwing half as many pitches as his opponent through six. That's crazy.

38. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:29 PM (#4169920)

Never mind.

39. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:39 PM (#4169924)

The way this is going, what Aviles just did was "setting up the double play".

40. Jay Seaver Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:43 PM (#4169927)

On a pace for a 78-pitch complete game shutout.

41. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:43 PM (#4169928)

51 through 6 - it'd be less without the error - wow

42. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:46 PM (#4169930)

I did not realize Oliver Perez was still in baseball, and yet there he is warming up.

43. Chip Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:55 PM (#4169935)

This is insane.

44. dirk

Posted: June 29, 2012 at 11:58 PM (#4169936)

apparently all it takes to get mariners out is a 89 mph fastball and a show me curve. babip gods will get their revenge on cook soon.

45. Jay Seaver Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:01 AM (#4169939)

Well, having a pretty good infield behind Cook doesn't hurt either. Imagine if they called Iglesias up!

46. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:03 AM (#4169941)

I can't concentrate on the game anymore, with the news that Major League Baseball might be going to the SCG - holy ####### fuck yeah - I am seriously beside myself here !

47. Chip Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:08 AM (#4169943)

Cook will pitch on Wednesday against the A's, not Friday against the Yankees, right?

48. Jay Seaver Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:10 AM (#4169945)

8 innings, 74 pitches. Likely not repeatable, but wow.

49. Chip Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:10 AM (#4169946)

Dustin Pedroia plays baseball very well.

50. Chip Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:13 AM (#4169948)

Will Middlebrooks unslumping.

51. Jay Seaver Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:23 AM (#4169951)

Ichiro still looks pretty good in the field.

52. Chip Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:24 AM (#4169953)

Felix turned Pedroia back into teh suck.

53. Jay Seaver Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:28 AM (#4169955)

Wow. Nice win, guys.

54. Chip Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:29 AM (#4169956)

Fewest hits in a CG he's ever given up. Fewest pitches in a CG by any pitcher in MLB this year. Yikes.

55. dirk

Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:30 AM (#4169957)

81 pitches. 72 warm up pitches. (8 per inning)

56. Joel W Posted: June 30, 2012 at 12:54 AM (#4169963)

Wow the Mariners really stink at hitting.
