To Brighten Your Friday

I shamelessly stole the idea of this post from Lookout Landing. After last night loss, I wanted to write something that brings you some joy and sometimes laughter so here we go:

Marco Scutaro is leading all the Majors in Contact% with 96.1%, has been sporting the AL 3rd best O-Swing rate at 15.4% and having a gaudy 20.8% LD%: Long story short, he's been very unlucky and his regressed wOBA (wOBAr) should be .331 (league average bat combined with a solid glove at the SS position is an asset to any team): Things should get well for him if he sticks with his approach.
Manny DelCarmen Splits:

	April	May
BB/9	5.23	3.95
K/9	2.61	7.24
GB%	44.8%	60.0%
FIP	5.51	3.75
SwStr%	3.2% (WTF ?)	10.7%

In his last 3 starts, Salem's Stolmy Pimentel has pitched two no-hit 6 innings ball before being pulled. So far this season, he's striking out more LHH (7.06 K/9) than RHH: Meaning that Change up is filthy!
Robinson Cano hasn't draw a walk since May 13th!
According to HitTrackerOnline.com, BJ Upton is leading the AL in the luckiest HRs category with 2. He has 5 "Dingers" so far.
The Angels have a combined OPS+ and ERA+ of 183.

I don’t think so. We’re winning so he hasn’t been able to make his same old complaints over and over again. However if we lose two in a row to KC he may come out of the woodwork. In which case, turn your head it may not be pleasant around here.

I’m rather surprised he didn’t post today.

As I said, I liked the idea of Jeff Sullivan post and here's his explanation

As Mariners fans, we all have two things in common:

1) We want the Mariners to make us happy

2) Failing that, we want other teams to make their fans sad

1) Signs showing that Scutaro is due to a terrific rebound/ MDC rebound/ Pimentel awesomeness
2) Cano lack of plate discipline, Upton Suckfest

It’s not that weird
