Knock Knock …

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:57:12 -0500

Anybody out there? Well lets wake up and shake the frost off. There is a crazy rumor of the Tigers sending Edwin Jackson to Seattle in a possible three team deal that could end with us sending Brandon Morrow out the door. This of course is simple speculation at this point in time. Do not underestimate what [...]

It’s Tough Not to Be Encouraged

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:01:51 -0500

Okay – so I get it. I get the fact that we can’t overreact to what we saw from Brandon Morrow last night. One great outing against a team like the A’s is not enough to justify the assumption that a pitcher has turned things around. Dave Cameron explained that rather nicely. However, I was at [...]

Morrow One-Hits the A's in Forgettable Game

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:12 -0500

More photos » by ED ZURGA - AP I hope Spring Training is better for me. Browse more photos » Well, there isn't much to say about tonight's game, unless Morrow is on your fantasy team. In the fourth inning, Rajai Davis hit a ground ball to the shortstop and beat it out for an infield single. The A's collected two back-to-back walks in the eighth, and in the ninth inning, with two outs, Landon Po...

Brandon Morrow: The Man, The Mystery, the Mayhem

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:33:41 -0500

This statement is debatably true or false: Brandon Morrow has been mishandled by the Mariners organization. This statement is undebatably true: Brandon Morrow could have been handled better by the Mariners organization. Brandon never had a chance with Bill Bavasi in the driver’s seat. He was hauled up to the majors as a reliever after somewhere around [...]

What to Expect from Brandon Morrow Tonight

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:15:16 -0500

As you all know, if we actually play tonight, Brandon Morrow will be getting the start against Kevin Millwood and the Texas Rangers. With all of the praise Morrow has been getting since heading down to Tacoma, it’s going to be really easy for a lot of people to have hopes, that frankly, are much [...]

Mariners Acquire 3B Jack Hannahan From A’s; Brandon Morrow to AAA

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:17:32 -0500

General manager Jack Zduriencik continued with his method of slowly improving the team today, sending double A pitcher Justin Souza to the Oakland Athletics for left handed hitting third baseman Jack Hannahan. Hannahan isn’t much of a hitter, but he’s a rock defensively, and he hits left handed, which is something. With the recent acquisition of [...]

The Long Ball Kills the Mariners in 6-4 Loss

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:45:38 -0500

Brandon Morrow looked more like a minor league pitcher than a major league pitcher today, and struggled mightily in tonight’s loss to the Rangers. He got in big trouble in the third, when he walked Omar Vizquel and Ian Kinsler with one out with the score 2-1 Mariners. Michael Young then took the first pitch he [...]

Game 76, Mariners at Yankees

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:49:40 -0500

Morrow vs Chamberlain, 4:05 pm. Brandon Morrow is an extreme flyball pitcher who gets torched by left-handed batters. New Yankee Stadium is turning more fly balls into home runs than any other park in baseball this year, and the benefit is going almost entirely to left-handed hitters pulling the ball over the closer, [...]-- This post came from: U.S.S.

Morrow is electric in first start

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 09:59:32 -0500

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.

Why Brandon Morrow can look so dominant without being successful, and why he will not be successful.
