38-64
 
I have seen this team lose on a balk. I have seen this team lose on a walk. I have seen this team lose on a home run. I have seen this team lose on a home run that was taken away. I have seen this team lose on a caught steal. I have seen this team lose on an outfield assist. I have seen this team lose to Pedro Martinez. I have seen this team lose to Doug Waechter.

7/24 Minor League Wrap-Up
 
- Several media outlets have already reported on the drag-out MWL brawl between Dayton (20-13... Reds affiliate) and Peoria (21-12... Cubs affiliate). Both teams are MWL contenders. Thanks to Bryan Smith at MLB.com for this thorough recap . For the uninitiated: this mess began when Peoria SS Nate Samson got plunked in the top 1st, then starter Julio Castillo (6 app, 3 GS, 2.86 ERA, 22 IP, ...

- It sneaks up on you:  After today, the VSLMs have only 8 games remaining in their season, which ends August 2nd. - The VSLMs had to play a doubleheader with the competitive VSL Phillies yesterday.  Starter Erasmo Ramirez saved the bullpen with a surprising complete game in which he allowed 3 runs, only one earned, walked none, struck out 5 and allowed 7 hits.  What the heck, ...

Felix Today
 
The game took place while I was at work, so I didn't really get to watch much of anything, but from what I can tell, this was far from being one of his better starts. The numbers: 75 fastballs (69%) 17 changeups (16%) 10 curveballs (9%) 6 sliders (6%) 13 swinging strikes (12%) 23 foul (3 foul tips) (21%) 17 called strikes (16%) 17 in play (16%) 38 balls (35%) 6 grounders (35%) 4 ...

Designated rivals upon the inception of interleague play, the bitter hatred between the Padres and Mariners has a long and storied history. They ruined the debut of Safeco Field. We've taken nine of twelve at Petco Park. They killed us with Rondell White. We killed them with Richie Sexson. They gave us Al Martin. We gave them Jeff Cirillo. They gave us Ben Davis. We gave them Brett Tomko. ...

Coco Crisp doesn't at all belong in the Boston lineup today. Figure out why.

7/22 Minor League Wrap-Up
 
- Still no word on Joe Dunigan after he took a line drive to the face in Monday's game. That he walked off the field under his own power is encouraging, but there's been no other word. I'm surprised that none of the media outlets or blogs commented on this. - In allowing the only two VSL Astros hits of the game over his 6 innings, Jessie Nava also picked off THREE runners at 1st base, pretty ...

- LATE.  Work-related.  I'm not going to go into too much detail. - Carlos Triunfel hit a GRAND SLAM on Monday against Lancaster.  Granted, there was yet another 18 mph wind towards the LF foul pole in Adelanto, but still. - The High Desert Mavs, to date, have used 29 different pitchers this season.  TWENTY NINE.  The Tacoma Rainiers have used twenty seven.  ...

Olney : The Yankees are not expected to make a blockbuster deal before the trade deadline, but they are seeking ways to upgrade their rotation and are taking a serious look at Seattle lefty Jarrod Washburn.

This defense is so... regressing?
 
The Mariners defense as rated by Plus/Minus reached a low point near the end of May, standing at 36 plays below average through May 26, 52 games into the season. It put the team on pace to finish the season at 112 plays below average, a remarkable 90 runs below average. 90 runs. You know how much 90 runs is? If we went back in time to 2007 and replaced the bats (ignoring defense) of our ...

If Jarrod Washburn hasn't been traded by the ninth inning, Lee, you have failed as as general manager.
