LOL with a couple of Feliz gifs up

PrintLookout Landing has a couple of gifs up of Neftali Feliz pitching last night.
And, as always when I link to LOL, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't go over there to the comments section and talk smack, chide them for being classless for making Josh Hamilton drug jokes or wishing injuries on players or the like, or generally act in a fashion that we'd be irritated with if someone from the M's or Angels board was doing it here.

they were funny!
except for one low-class turd-they seemed very complimentary, very cool with the idea of Felix vs Feliz for a few years.

One question
Do you really think that Seattle would trade Felix? I saw that fanpost and if that deal from Boston was on the table I would have been tempted to pull the trigger.
You are obsessed with bodily wastes A turd being held under my nose, this team being a steaming pile, Jonny Donuts having a stinky diaper, the front office pissing themselves, the team crapping the bed…
I think you should seek counselling.

Not to take this off topic
But I imagine that, if we can’t sign Felix to an extension this winter, the FO will look long and hard into dealing him. I probably would’ve taken that package from Boston, were it actually on the table.

I agree
with your assessment and thanks for indulging me

Jeff
Your humor and your writing is much appreciated. I don’t think there is a single thing that I like about the Mariners besides the Griffey Legacy and heading over to LoL for laughs.
Oh. And Jim Bouton being in Seattle for most of the book Ball Four. Albeit for the Pilots and not the Mariners.
Unless you're familiar with certain personalities on LL we must seem like the worst community in the world

No,

Some highlights from the DMN blog last night

Ron Washington lost this game. He got cute with the pitchers, changing them in the Ninth. If he wanted CJ to finish the game, he should have started the inning. Or, just go with O’Day. He blew it.
And, yeah, I’m officially tired of CJ. He needs to be a middle reliever, at the most. Put Feliz and his 100 mph gun as the closer.
CJ, put a fork in him, he doesn’t have the stuff.

Awful managing job tonite. There was no reason to take Perez out of the game that early. That was stupid. Cost them the game. He could have pitched longer, and curly Jane wouldnt have had to come in the game.

unfreaking believable. I don’t care what anyone of these idiot bloggers says. CJ chokes when you really need him. He might save a game here and there when the pressure is not on, but when you need him, he is coughin’ it up. Washington overmanages too much. Why get all fancy? O’Day pitched just fine, has a 1.68 ERA, got the out. Why pull him? I already had prepared myself for this when I saw Wash getting cute. I knew deep in my soul that this was already a loss. When it happened I already had this typed up. Bad loss for the Rangers. Bad move by Wash. That’s something you see in fantasy sports. You just stick with what’s working. Don’t get greedy and prideful. You know he was feeling pretty proud of his coaching before he put CJ in thinking people would finally stop questioning him. I truly have seen enough this year to know that he makes a ton of stupid baseball decisions and the Ranger’s win despite of them.

CJ Wilson is a choke artist and mental midget.
Do you get it now?
Your job is to report and be objective, not be cocky and waving your pom poms. Let us fans doing the cheering.
This, incidentally, was directed to Brett, which, as he notes in a comment later on, is misguided, since Brett isn’t a reporter, and is a blogger/fan.

Wilson is a looser. How many times does he come in with runners on base in close games and then as soon as those runners have scored he clamps down. He’s a headcase. He is totally unreliable most of the time. Oh well, its just the worst team in the west, it’s not like we lost to the Yankees.

There’s lots more.

looks like one of the better nights
for the DMN blog.
I hope Brett is getting big bucks for blogging for them. He needs them to pay for hot water and Soap bills so he doesn’t feel so dirty.

I was gonna ask/plead to be unbanned from your site
but it is probably better this way in case I start drinking again.
I enjoy reading your stuff Jeff.

I think they are mainly done on threads which might be read by Rangers fans...

that’s why I look up to Jeff (/◔ ◡ ◔)/
I wish I were half as funny as him. And how he puts up with the trolls over at LOL is mindboggling.

Easy to be gracious when he’s got an sub-700 OPS.

Could I be unbanned also?
I fell into an unfortunate pissing contest with a mod who made a tastless joke about Hamilton. I’m sorry.

Why do you care?
I mean, you can still read the site and the comments right? Why does it matter that you can no longer comment over there?

Face it dudes.
You were banned because you’re not Mariners homers. None of the SBNation boards welcome true debate, and no trollers want to debate anyways. Just don’t go over there and hope the LOL douchebags don’t come over here like the Halos Heaven idiots.
In that link
Trip describes Feliz’ change up as 79-85. I believe this was during ST.
I think they worked with him on keeping his arm speed to mimic the fastball and the result is a change up with a lot less mph differential, but more effective than the much slower version.

Big fan of your work, Jeff
Both on fangraph and LOL.
Additionally, your team’s fanbase is far more tolerable than most.
Kanye, you want to be the voice of this generation? Get in line! It goes me, Obamagirl, the Freecreditreport.com guys, then It's a tie between you-and Crocs.

Your humor would be underappreciated there. I enjoy your blogging with a sense of humor.

Shoot
I was thinking of Dave Cameron.
Don’t take it as a slight, I love you both!

I have to say
I knew Feliz’s delivery would look effortless and boring, but it still stunned me to see that last performance last night. I spent a few minutes wondering if the stadium gun was off by five mph or so because of this.
Since you're lurking, Jeff...
Good job with LL, I love the humor there to the point that I read it daily. It’s a great community and I hate to see it get trolled, especially by Rangers fans. The Sexson-incident aside anyway…
Keep it up!
Remember a few years back
When Kinsler got hit by a pitch but swung and was called out on strikes? I was thinking, if Feliz exploded a ball threw someones chest cavity but he swung. The strikeout call precedes the involuntary manslaughter call right?
And...
…would it count as a passed ball?
Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham.
I still have an irrational hatred of Jose Lopez.
That guy pisses me off just by walking out onto the field.
One of the things pitch f/x is doing, I think...
…is showing how the lines between various kinds of pitches seem to blur.

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.

Good thing too, because it was Szechwan style.
