In case you haven't been paying attention - and believe me, I wouldn't blame you - the future really gets going in earnest tomorrow night, as Brandon Morrow will make his Major League starting debut at 7:10 against the Yankees. Over 23.1 innings in AAA Morrow fanned 26 while walking 11, but the truth of the matter is that we have little idea what to expect from him going forward, because so ...

There's Always Brandon Morrow —

Brandon Morrow made the transition from bullpen to rotation well, holding the Yankees hitless for 7 2/3 innings before Wilson Betemit doubled in Hideki Matsui, who reached via a walk. The Yankees fall 3-1 after, I believe, making the second...
The Weekend Yankeeland - 9/6 —
My Pinstripes
We don't need to rehash last night's near no-hitter by the Mariners ' Brandon Morrow . After looking like he was going to get raked over the coals, Andy Pettitte settled down and gave the Yankees a solid seven innings, but the offense was nowhere to be found. Seattle had been receiving grief for selecting Morrow ahead of Tim Lincecum in the 2006 draft. Maybe those concerns will now be ...
Morrow is electric in first start —
Assist by The Mitten
I’m so glad the Mariners wasted nearly two seasons of Brandon Morrow’s career as a setup reliever. No, really, it’s been great watching the worst team in baseball trip all over itself. Fans of this beleaguered franchise got a little something to be excited about last night. Morrow threw 7 2/3 innings of one-hit ball against the Yankees in his first major league start. Most onlookers, aside ...
Bronx Banter: Missed it by That Much —
Baseball Toaster
Two outs, top of the eighth. Brandon Morrow, the Mariner's young right hander, was throwing a no-hitter against the Yanks. Hideki Matsui was on first, having drawn a walk, the third of the night against Morrow, who simply overwhelmed the Yankee offense with a live fastball and a tough breaking ball. Joe Girardi sent up Wilson Betemit, who hasn't been seen much in recent weeks, and Betemit ...
Mariners nearly no-hit Yankees —
SmackCaster SmackBlog
The Seattle Mariners are beyond awful. Yet, Brandon Morrow almost no-hit the Yankees on Friday, going 7 2/3 innings before Wilson Betimit broke it up with an RBI double. Morrow is a reliever the Mariners are converting into a starter. Here’s what it means: dead, dead, dead, the playoff streak is dead. Enough with the mathematics. So, so tired. The streak was great. So was the Atlanta ...
Pettitte strong, but Morrow dominates —
River Avenue Blues
Brandon Morrow is 24 years old. Prior to Friday evening, he had thrown 100 big league innings and had made a grand total of zero starts.
This year, Morrow, one of the Mariners’ top pitching prospects, has thrown up some impressive numbers. In 36.2 innings, he’s allowed 18 hits and has a better than 3:1 K:BB ratio. He also throws in the upper 90s.
The Yankees, meanwhile, were ...
Joba-esque game from Morrow —
Pinstripe Alley
Brandon Morrow made the first start of his career (after 100 career relief innings) a memorable one, throwing 7.2 innings of one-hit ball. His fastball lived in the mid-90s, and it was even more effective because of his great curve and changeup. It was reminiscent of the gem Joba threw in Boston a few weeks ago.
The Yanks finally broke through in the 8th when Wilson Betemit lined a ...

The last pitch he threw on Friday night cost right-hander Brandon Morrow a possible no-hitter, but not his first Major League win as a starter, as the Mariners beat the Yankees, 3-1, at Safeco Field.
Morrow, making his first career start following two seasons as a reliever, held the Yankees hitless for 7 2/3 innings before pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit doubled over right fielder Ichiro ...

Palm Ball NW/Bleeding Blue and Teal
Brandon Morrow, Seattle’s first round draft choice from 2006, is making his first start of his career against the New York Yankees at Safeco Field as we speak.
While few were predicting a great outing from him (3 perfect innings thusfar), it’s my impression that many are viewing this as the start of a new era in Mariners baseball, and it makes sense. Morrow’s bullpen ...

The time is now to add Brandon Morrow if he's somehow still available.
He was a starter, but then was sent to the pen.... and, like all rookies nowadays, had to wear the Hello Kitty bag and lead the boys to the bullpen.
Morrow posted a 1.47 ERA with 10 saves and a 0.90 WHIP over 37 innings in...
