GAME 107: TIGERS 3, MARINERS 1
Tigers 3, Mariners 1
In 25 words or less: It was a day for a certain starting pitcher making his debut. It certainly wasn't a day for Mariner hitters.
This one featured Felix Hernandez going up against Sean Douglass. The Mariners were hoping to get a series win with a win of this game featuring none other than Felix Hernandez, all of 19 years of age. This of course is all part of a plan to make everyone out there feel freakin' old.
Though it's a totally unrelated exercise here, I have to throw this one in here...rank the following from worst to best, though they're all going to be bad:
-- Tyson/McNeeley
-- Rocky V
-- Bill Bavasi expecting that Scott Spiezio could start more games in the 2004 season at third base despite never having played that many games combined at that position in his career
-- Quite Frankly hosted by Stephen A. Smith
Have you ever had so much fun ranking different types of crap?
Oh yeah, the game.
TOP 1ST
Grade: C-
Nothing to see here. Ichiro popped the second pitch foul to Brandon Inge in foul ground on the left side. Willie Bloomquist lined a ball off of Douglass' glove. Douglass knocked it down and threw in time to first. Raul Ibañez got ahead 2-0 and couldn't check his swing on a 2-2 high fastball.
BOTTOM 1ST
Grade: C+
Big jam, but little damage. Placido Polanco grounded a ball under Hernandez' glove and into centerfield for a single. Carlos Guillen got the hitters' counts and walked on a full-count dirtball outside. Chris Shelton walked on a full-count pitch barely outside, loading the bases. Magglio Ordoñez smacked a 1-2 pitch through the left side for a single, scoring Polanco, sending Shelton to second, and bringing pitching coach Bryan Price to the mound.

Dmitri Young grounded the second pitch to first, where Sexson threw home to start a nicely turned 3-2-3 double play. Ivan Rodriguez couldn't hold an 0-2 checkswing, and went away with the whiff.
TOP 2ND
Grade: C
A runner, but only with two out. Richie Sexson fisted a fly ball to shallow centerfield for a flyout. Adrian Beltre grounded an 0-2 pitch to short. Jeremy Reed hit a fly to deep centerfield which Nook Logan had to go back to get, and Reed scooted into second for the double. Mike Morse lined the second pitch just foul down the leftfield line before whiffing on a 1-2 pitch.
BOTTOM 2ND
Grade: A-
This is more like it. Craig Monroe chopped a 2-0 pitch to the left side, where Beltre charged and threw barehanded to first, where Sexson picked it off the dirt in time. Brandon Inge grounded out to third on a full count thanks to a spinning play by Beltre. Nook Logan took an 0-2 fastball at the knees and over the outside corner.
TOP 3RD
Grade: C+
Again, a runner, but no more. Scott Spiezio took a 2-2 pitch over the outside corner. Wiki Gonzalez grounded a ball past Inge at third and down the leftfield line for a double, just barely beating the throw (i.e., coasting) to second. Ichiro whiffed on an 0-2 outside pitch. Bloomquist rolled the 2-0 pitch to short for a groundout.
BOTTOM 3RD
Grade: C+
A mistake lets a run across. Polanco took a 1-2 pitch on or near the right forearm. Polanco took off for second on a 1-0 pitch to Guillen, and the throw by Gonzalez nearly got him. Guillen got ahead 2-0 and later grounded out to short, with Polanco holding at second. Shelton grounded a 1-2 pitch toward first, where Sexson underhanded to Hernandez at the bag. Ordoñez took the first pitch, and it went off Gonzalez' glove behind the plate and got away, allowing Polanco to score.
»» TIGERS 2, MARINERS 0
Ordoñez got the hitters' counts, took a strike, fouled off a couple pitches, then whiffed on a full-count slider off the plate outside.
TOP 4TH
Grade: C-
Ho hum. Ibañez took a 3-1 pitch low for a walk. Sexson grounded the second pitch deep into the hole at short, and Guillen ranged over to turn a nice 6-4-3 double play. Beltre got behind 0-2 and later nubbed a 2-2 groundout on the right side to Shelton, who tossed to a covering Douglass.
BOTTOM 4TH
Grade: B+
Much much better than the first. Young stung a ball down the rightfield line and off the portion of the stands that jut out, allowing Ichiro to come forward for the ball and hold Young to a single. Rodriguez grounded a 1-2 pitch to third, where Beltre went to second to try to turn the double play, but the ball wasn't hit hard enough. Young was out at second though. Monroe grounded out in a hit-and-run to Bloomquist in the hole at second. Inge chopped out to short.
TOP 5TH
Grade: C-
A whole lotta nothing. Reed flew out to leftfield on the first pitch. Morse grounded hard to the backhand of Polanco at second, who threw him out. Spiezio fouled off a couple of 2-2 pitches before grounding to Guillen in the hole at short on a nice play.
BOTTOM 5TH
Grade: A
Hernandez approached his pitch count nicely. Logan tried bunting his way aboard, but it went too fast and right to Sexson, who slightly impeded Logan's path for the out. Polanco got behind 2-0 and grounded a 2-2 pitch to short. Guillen whiffed on a low 2-2 pitch.
Hernandez' line: 5 innings, 2 runs (1 earned), 3 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, 81 pitches (49 strikes)
TOP 6TH
Grade: C-
Sigh... Gonzalez popped high to shallow centerfield on the first pitch. Ichiro sliced a high fly to leftfield for a flyout. Bloomquist got behind 0-2 and later flew out high to centerfield.
BOTTOM 6TH
Grade: A
Julio Mateo came in for Hernandez. Shelton worked a 2-2 count for a walk. Ordoñez got behind 0-2 and took a 2-2 pitch over the outside corner. Young flew out to centerfield. Rodriguez whiffed on an 0-2 pitch inside.
TOP 7TH
Grade: B-
They cut it in half at least. Ibañez got ahead 3-1, fouled off a couple pitches, then grabbed hold of a pitch and deposited it over the leftfield fence for a solo shot.
»» TIGERS 2, MARINERS 1
Sexson chopped out to third on the first pitch. Beltre chopped a ball over Douglass on the mound, but Polanco charged in and threw in time to first. Reed looped a flyout into leftcenter.
BOTTOM 7TH
Grade: B+
Not much trouble here. Monroe popped the first pitch to Sexson in foul territory. Inge knocked off Mateo's cap with a line drive up the middle for a single. Logan grounded the first pitch to second for a 4-6 fielder's choice to force out Inge. Mateo pitched out on the first pitch to Polanco, but Gonzalez' throw wasn't even close to being in time. Logan came in a little hard and had a trainer attend to him, but he stayed in the game. Polanco flew out to rightfield on the next pitch.
Mateo's line: 2 innings, 0 runs, 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, 26 pitches (17 strikes)
TOP 8TH
Grade: C+
The leadoff walk gets stranded. Morse worked an 0-2 count for a walk on an inside pitch. Spiezio flew out high to Ordoñez running toward the rightfield line. Gonzalez bounced out to second, and Morse took second since he ran with the pitch. Ichiro grounded to second.
Douglass' line: 8 innings, 1 run, 3 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, 100 pitches (64 strikes)
BOTTOM 8TH
Grade: C+
JJ Putz came in for Mateo. Guillen chopped a 2-2 pitch to Morse at short, who tried to make a throw on the run and threw the ball over Sexson and into the crowd. Shelton got behind 0-2 and later whiffed on a 1-2 fastball up in the zone. Ordoñez fouled off a couple 2-2 pitches before singling over Bloomquist at second and into rightfield, where the presence of Ichiro's arm held Guillen at third. Young fouled off three pitches before singling into rightfield to score Guillen and move Ordoñez to second.
»» TIGERS 3, MARINERS 1
Rodriguez grounded to second for a quick 4-6-3 double play.
Putz' line: 1 inning, 1 run (unearned), 3 hits, 0 walks, 1 strikeout, 27 pitches (20 strikes)
TOP 9TH
Grade: C-
Fernando Rodney came in for Douglass. Bloomquist got ahead 2-0 and later grounded out to short. Ibañez worked an 0-2 count for a full count and an eight-pitch at-bat that ended in a flyout high to Ordoñez in rightcenter. Sexson smoked the second pitch high to Polanco at second, who climbed the ladder with a leap and speared the line drive. Ballgame.
Rodney's line: 1 inning, 0 runs, 0 hits, 0 walks, 0 strikeouts, 14 pitches (9 strikes)

Gameball: Julio Mateo.
He threw two innings of shutout ball after Felix Hernandez left the game. He held the Tigers in those two innings, keeping the Mariners within one run of the Tigers. What more can you ask for? Well, probably zero walks instead of one, but it's still a very solid job. Do you think Matt Thornton could have bheld the Tigers scoreless in the sixth and seventh innings of a one-run game? Me neither. Ron Villone? Me neither. That's why he's gone. Anyway, I feel better with Julio Mateo out on the mound than I did for that little uncomfortable period after they had him start that one game back in May, a month which was far from merry for the Mariners and their fans. Of the players that I'm glad the Mariners didn't trade away, I'm glad they didn't trade Mateo. I'm glad Villone's gone, Hasegawa should be gone (and may be soon), and Thornton shouldn't have even made the team in the first place, but I'm glad Mateo's still on board.
Goat: Ichiro.
It's said that where Ichiro goes, the offense goes. On occasion, the Mariner bats have been able to scare up some runs even without Ichiro at his best, but it's generally better to have Ichiro setting the table for the money batters to do their thing. Ichiro went 0-for-12 in the Detroit series and is 0-for-18 going back to the Cleveland series. As you might guess, that's bad. In that span of time, his average has dropped from .316 to .303. It hasn't been this low since after the Texas game on the 3rd of July (.300). Yes, folks, that's what some people would call a "funk." I guess the sad thing is that Ichiro spraying line drives into the gaps would have been perfect for Detroit and he would have been able to ring a couple of triples here and there and maybe even an inside-the-park homer. Alas, it was not to be. Sure, I didn't think Ichiro was going to have a year like he did in 2004 or 2001. What lies in between? He hit .321 in 2002 and .312 in 2003. I'll peg him at .310. I do reserve the right to look like a total idiot if Ichiro hits .600 in September.

What I should have added to that list of crappy things in the first part of the post was the fact that this game wasn't televised back to the Seattle area. Not that it was too much better for any of us with MLB.tv. The only camera in Detroit for this game was stationed behind and above the plate. That was the only camera. In other words, I couldn't fully grasp what Felix Hernandez was doing out there, how his stuff was breaking, how well he was spotting his pitches, etc. It's great that I was able to watch the game, sure, but call me picky. Hell, I get picky when the score constant isn't at the top of the screen, so you can imagine how well I dealt with a single camera being the only mode of transmission from the ballyard. I wasn't pleased.
Not that there was a lot of Mariner hitting prowess that was demonstrated. Sean Douglass followed in the long line of no-name pitchers that have eaten the Mariners for dinner. Jorge Sosa, Eric Bedard circa 2003, Doug Waechter, Mark Hendrickson, et al., you've got company. What more can you say about eight innings of one-run ball? A three-hitter against the Mariners? Not that it's totally out of the realm of possibility with the Mariners, but a three-hitter? Don't ever say anything's impossible, I guess.
Thus, there were no multi-hit games for Mariner hitters in this game. Raul Ibañez, Jeremy Reed, and Wiki Gonzalez had the only hits of the game. Just to recap, and to waste space since I'm not sure how much material I can come up with for a game like this, what with the inferior camera angle and whatnot, I'll recite when each of the hits took place. Jeremy Reed hit a two-out double in the third. Wiki Gonzalez hit a one-out double in the third. Raul Ibañez led off the seventh with a solo shot. There's your hitting output for the game, folks. Great. Grand. Wonderful. Sean Douglass, ladies and gentlemen. Don't forget him. Rather, don't forget him whenever the Mariners have the Tigers coming up on the schedule. He'll probably suck against everyone else and whoop the Mariners every time he faces them. Remember the one year where Anthony Young pitched for the Cubs and lost a billion games? If he were pitching today, he'd beat the Mariners two or three times in a season and lose every other game in which he pitched.
What's next? Three with the White Sox. They're kinda good. I don't know how, but they're good. Yep, looks like a sweep to me. The pitching matchup for the next game almost games me want to cry. It's so lopsided it's sick.
Piñeiro. Garcia. Today.
