FreddyPatek Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) Freddy make sure you tell your mountain bike tree hugging friends about this site this weekend. Pretty much every Mariner fan in town be at Safeco during the season. Everyone else in Seattle is getting jaywalking tickets walking across the street in their birkenstocks to see an art exhibit on the mating habits of the spotted owl.

quickman Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 QUOTE(FreddyPatek @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 10:36 PM) I think Jeremy is forcing it a bit. I have been to one game at Safeco so far and it really looked like he was pressing. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as my take is that he wants very badly to make a good impression and he seems very motivated. I love this guy. He looks smooth in the outfield and takes a good path to the ball. I really hope I can watch him handle center field at Safeco for many years. I think he will settle down in the next week or so and we will see the average creep up. I wouldn't expect too much in this series, I anticipate some nervousness on his part. We'll see. I have joked with quickman for two or three years that it's all smoke and mirrors with Moyer. How does he continually get guys out throwing 75 mph? I have no clue, although his location is probably among the best I have ever seen. I thought he was done last year, but the word is that he worked hard in the off season and has looked great in his first two starts. He usually starts slow and finishes strong. Well we have not been hitting well, but its a nice night and we should be ready for Joel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Joel pitched 6 innings of one run ball in Triple A Tacoma earlier this week so hopefully he is ready. Should be a great series. Watch out for Sexson. If he gets anything to hit he is destroying the ball right now. The sweep in KC was very encouraging to M's fans. We got our ass handed to us last year, so we were ready for something good to happen.

FreddyPatek Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Welcome to SoxTalk any Seattle fan that decides to chime in! What is your take on the Freddy Garcia trade almost a year after it happened? Love it. A LOT. Didn't know that much about Reed, but quickman assured me he was/is very solid. He said Olivo would be a .250 hitter and play good defense. That is about what we are getting, which is fine. Equally as important, I hear that he calls a good game and the pitchers feel comfortable throwing to him. With Wilson on the way out we need someone like this. I told quickman that Garcia can be a top 5 pitcher IF he has his head screwed on. That hasn't always happened. He has great stuff, but can fall apart quickly if he gets rattled, or if the wind blows from the south, or if it's partly cloudy, or..hell who knows what makes him go sideways. If he wants to be, he can be damn good though. I honestly think this was good for both teams, but I love what we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your take on the Freddy Garcia trade almost a year after it happened? My opinion is it was a great trade for both teams. Mariners were doubtful that we'd be able to sign Freddy and Sox management obvioulsy had the inside track on getting him to sign an extension. We're thrilled with what we got in return, but it looks like Reed and Olivo were spare parts for you guys. We're definitely missing Freddy's presence in the rotation. The guy was a bit inconsistent, but he's always been a work horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
