Spring Training Game #35: Franklin Morales vs. Jarrod Washburn

Email
PrintSo I have absolutely zero desire to have the Mariners starting pitcher tonight over our starting pitcher in 2009, let alone in seasons yet to come, but guess which one is projected to be better? And not just a little bit better, either, we're talking about what Tim Lincecum is expected to be to Washburn, is what Washburn is supposed to be to Morales. Tonight we get to see this marvel in action. Washburn's probably going to be available yet again at the deadline. Any takers? Anybody?
Check out the winds according to Gameday, left to right, 25 mph, and supposedly gusts up to 48 mph are possible.
You know, the weird way the photo's overlapping the numbered lineup is making me try to come up with something more insightful to say just to bump things down a few lines. I think I'm failing miserably. Although I can point out some delusional daydreaming at Lookout Landing about how Washburn can somehow miraculously regain his value. That was fun, wasn't it? Or count the number of Giants fans that think their team will finish behind the Rockies this season. I guess it's good to be hopeful, I just hate to disappoint an entire city like that. Okay, I don't hate it that much. Or at all.
The Rockies lineup:
- Fowler CF
- Spilborghs LF
- Helton 1B
- Atkins 3B
- Hawpe RF
- Tulowitzki SS
- Iannetta C
- Baker DH
- Barmes 2B
For the Mariners and their oh so intimidating AL lineup:
- Chavez LF
- Gutierrez CF
- Beltre 3B
- Branyan 1B
- Sweeney DH
- Johnson C
- Balentien RF
- Cedeno 2B
- Woodward SS
Yeah, okay, so let's only leave what happens in Vegas there if we lose. If we win, we may feel free to take back some souvenirs.

The really good thing about tonight
is I don’t have to rely on Gameday. Whoooohoooo for FSN. It’s starting to feel like the regular season. And the lineup looks pretty close to what we can expect come Monday.
It's the wind...
The only reason Fowler isn’t over there too is that his frame creates less drag. He’s like the Michael Phelps of outfielders.
I'd offer 3 magic beans to the M's for Washburn
if they paid his entire salary.

That it is Friday or Saturday, otherwise I would be doing HW right now and baseball, sadly, would be on the back burner.

Thanks!
I thought there were more, but maybe it isn’t public info, yet.
could be, that's a pretty short list actually
No big surprises, a few disappointments that it didn’t come together for players like Murry or Simmons, but maybe it’s for the best that they have the opportunity to blossom elsewhere.

David OhNo was probably his biggest detractor and I haven’t seen him comment for some time. Most of us seem to like him, just not enough to sign to a big contract to keep for years at a time when we have equal talent on the way.
maybe so
David really didn’t like Atty.

Could Stewart play SS? It’s REAL close to 3rd

Can the Rockies
have a good glove/bad bat guy at SS? I mean many teams have…..

Tulo will turn it around
he’s legit. be more worried about “bad JDLR” rearing his ugly head

If it's because Tulo isn't batting well
Then why wouldn’t we just move Clint to SS and put Ian at 2nd, so he doesn’t have to learn another position?

it’s -273.15 K for absolute zero.
UNITS MATTER
"A great catch is like watching girls go by; the last one you see is always the prettiest." ~Bob Gibson
JFK
Technically absolute zero as a whole doesn't matter
As there is no such actual thing as an ideal gas
by Greg Stanwood on Apr 3, 2009 10:56 PM MDT up reply actions
OH I beg to differ
I’ve had PLENTY of ideal gas
oh…you didn’t mean it that way
"Suck it monkeys, the Rockies will win this year", Rox Girl 1-11-2009
I disagree
Absolute Zero matters for the determination of energy, ideal gas or not.
The ideal gas portion only comes in when you have to use the right units and using the ideal gas law. It has been expermientally determined that -273.15 K is absolute zero.

You have clearly
spent too much time studying these things at Mines. The only cure is to cut class, go to Coors Field and study baseball up close. Absolute zero then becomes the top of the 8th when they have stopped selling beer.

To many people
I study baseball too much. I can notice mechanical flaws in swings, analyze defensive alignments for pitch selection and a lot of other small baseball things. I want to coach sometime after I graduate.

I just watched a Nova episode on Hulu about Absolute Zero
I feel like I can almost keep up with this conversation now, even if somebody starts talking about Bose-Einstein condensates.
Can't handle that one

Yeah, though he did ask me to include a link within the body of my column to..
the part that I quoted, so I was a little embarrassed.
Law is probably my favorite baseball writer and someone I aspire to emulate so it was an honor to receive correspondence from him.

try to tell Keith why he’s wrong, like someone else around here did.
