After two terrible outings which followed a great outing, Campillo seems to have settled down again, pitching two effective innings against the Giants in a split squad.
Category: baseball (Page 4 of 4)
Boy, after one good outing, he’s getting crushed:
The chief offender was Jorge Campillo, who had a nightmarish inning in which he faced nine batters and gave up five runs, all of them in the space of two pitches — a three-run double by Gordon followed by a two-run Jason LaRue homer on the next pitch.
Only four runs were earned, but even the unearned run was his doing. With a man on first, he fielded a comebacker and threw it into the outfield for an error.
“He didn’t help his cause today,” Hargrove said.
Or as this guy put it, 5 runs in 50 seconds, which is a pretty big accomplishment in baseball.

All Geoduck home games are at Olympia High School.
UPDATE: Here’s the real 2007 home schedule.
After straight up asking the coach of the Evergreen State College club baseball team what the schedule was for this year and getting no real response, I’ve put together their home schedule on my own.
Coach Kip didn’t even point me to the vague league schedule here (broken down by week, what is up with that?). I found that schedule myself through a google search. After then going to all of the other team’s websites that have away games against Evergreen (here, here and here), I sussed out this schedule:
3/17 WWU Olympia High School Olympia, WA 4:00
3/18 WWU Olympia High School Olympia, WA 12:00
3/18 WWU Olympia High School Olympia, WA 3:00
3/31 Seattle University Olympia High School Olympia, WA 12:00
3/31 Seattle University Olympia High School Olympia, WA 3:00
4/01 Seattle University Olympia High School Olympia, WA 12:00
4/28 Central Oregon CC Olympia High School Olympia, WA 12:00
4/28 Central Oregon CC Olympia High School Olympia, WA 3:00
4/29 Central Oregon CC Olympia High School Olympia, WA 12:00 (?)
I’m not totally sure about some of the times, but this should be somewhat accurate.
The good news is that all of the Geoduck home games will be played at Olympia High School, which is literally around the block from where I live. I should be able to make most of these games.
Both Jorge Campillo and Jeff Weaver went two innings today against the Giants. Both gave up some runs, Weaver got the loss, and Campillo was marginally better.
Just want to point out that Weaver is the guy being penciled in as the fourth starter while Campillo was released last December and is in camp as a non-roster invitee.
| Seattle | IP | H | R | ER | BB | SO | HR | ERA |
| Weaver (L, 0-1) | 2.0 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 13.50 |
| Campillo | 2.0 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 9.00 |
Well, not likely. Actually, what did probably happen is that he got three ground outs. But, at least he seemed impressive on his first outing:
Jeff Weaver was impressive in his first action as a Mariner, setting down the side in order, and Sean White and Jorge Campillo also had 1-2-3 innings.
Jorge is part of the group of pitchers that are going to pitch in a fake game tomorrow, but he’s the last pitcher in the last group. So, it looks like he’s getting a look (not a lot of regulars are in either group), it looks like he’s not getting much of a look.
From the Times’ Mariners blog:
Team B
Cha Seung Baek
Jesse Foppert
Aaron Small
Jorge Campillo
In addition to hearing mostly nothing out of my man Jorge the last couple weeks, there is even more confusion because there is actually a decent college golfer in the midwest with the same name.
Lookout Landing lists Jorge Campillo as a possible sixth starter (which I guess also means long man out of the pen):
Sixth Starter Candidates:
Cha Baek
Jake Woods
Jorge Campillo
Justin Lehr
Campillo and Lehr are both older than the other two on the list, which means not a lot in this case. But, its nice to see him get mentioned in a major league role.
Sweat. Took long enough.
They haven’t scheduled a date yet, but Radio Open Source is digging on my idea for a show. Baseball and Japan.
Originally miffed that the hated Red Sox were going to get their hands on the primo Japanese pitcher this year, I started reading The Meaning of Ichiro and became even more enthralled. Written by the same guy who wrote You Gotta Have Wa, it brings the idea of Being America, Being Japan and Being Baseball to entirely new places.
