| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adam Loewen - LH | 3 | 15.2 | 6.32 | 1.79 | .262 | 12 | 11 | 0-1 |
| Jarrod Washburn - LH | 4 | 24.0 | 4.13 | 1.25 | .304 | 2 | 13 | 1-3 |
From Yahoo! Sports:
The Mariners could have had a good shot at ending their struggles against the Orioles with ace Erik Bedard eligible to come off the disabled list for this game against his former team. However, the left-hander’s return is being pushed back in order to give him another throwing session in the bullpen.
He is scheduled to start Saturday against Oakland.
In his place, the Mariners will turn to Jarrod Washburn (1-3, 4.13 ERA), who’s hoping to avoid losing his third straight start. After falling to Kansas City on April 14, he gave up season highs of four runs and 10 hits in six innings of a 4-1 defeat against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
Washburn is 6-4 with a 4.52 ERA in 13 career games—12 starts—against the Orioles. Markakis is 1-for-9 with five strikeouts against the left-hander.
Washburn will face Baltimore left-hander Adam Loewen (0-1, 6.32), who’s coming off his first loss of the year. Loewen gave up three runs and six hits while walking five in the 3-1 defeat against the Chicago White Sox last Wednesday.
He was originally scheduled to start Tuesday, but the team gave him some additional time off to work on his command.

Seriously
What is the deal with Bedard? Since when have the Orioles become so frightening? Furthermore, I thought the trade was handled pretty well on the Orioles’ part.

I’m late to the game, just started this season, so 1/2 the time, I’m not even sure what I’m seeing anyway until my buddies at school fill me in at lunch the next day.

When did Adam Loewen start giving up homers all the time?
Constant walks wasn’t doing it for him?

Jesus H Godblasted Christ
Thorne and Palmer were just saying that Trembley says “Adam Loewen is the reason we’re carrying 13 pitchers.” Is he? Then get him the fuck out of the starting rotation, and get Olson or Liz in there. The “logic” there isn’t. It’s nonsense.

Night folks
Seen this movie before, don’t like the ending. Tell Greg Aquino “Hi!” for me when he comes in for a few innings once we’re down 7-0…

We could come back.

Seriously though
I get pulling a pitcher early when he’s completely lost command or is giving up HR after HR. But 4 hits? Why waste free pitches out of that arm?
He retired over half the batters he faced. He’d get out of the inning eventually, who cares if it’s 5-0 or 7-0 or 9-0? Make him go 4 innings.

hell yeah, leave his ass in there. Why should we blow out the bullpen to clean up HIS mess. Make him stay until 90 pitches, at least!

What is it gonna take
to get Loewen out of the rotation? Albers would be better. At least two guys in AAA would be better. And maybe we could lose this “13 man bullpen” bullshit.

he'll be out soon
with Albers coming in. I imagine it’ll takea few more starts. I still believe in Adam in the long term though. Right now, he sucks.

well that's the real conundrum, isn't it
I also think Loewen has some promise, maybe. But we can’t send him down and he’d be an absolute disaster in the bullpen, more than likely. so what CAN we do? I think you have to stick him in the pen, hold your nose, and hope for the best.

Waits his turn and does his best when he gets a chance. Otherwise, sits around and has “encouraging bullpen sessions.” Mother fuck Adam Loewen.
