Philadelphia Phillies @ Pittsburgh Pirates
Adam Eaton and Zach Duke, 7:05 PM. Duke is now the third-best starter in the Pirates' rapidly deteriorating rotation. Awesome! Here's the box. Doug Mientkiewicz gets another start at third.

Duke currently has two walks. Matt Garza just walked three Red Sox in a row. Is it just me, or are there more walks this year in general?

Seems like more
but I can’t be sure.

Turns out, yes. 3.3 per game in both leagues in 2007; 3.6 per game in both leagues in 2008.

Offense behind the 8 ball already tonight
gotta have 5 runs to win…assuming bullpen keeps the door closed tonight.

Down 4
after 3.
Not a good start.

Sunday
looks like we won’t win before then…the way our pitching staff is going.

Yeah, I don’t know how they can continue to let Duke pitch. He’s got 80 pitches already. This is awful.

Pitch count
at this point…the pitch count isn’t my concern…the effectiveness is.

Well, there’s that.
Do I owe you an email, Marc? I’ll get to that soon.

Don't suppose
we could get far enough through the lineup to PH for Duke this inning?

now we get to try and beat up some more good bullpen pitchers

oh and doug actually got into 2nd base without being thrown out.. how about that!
by MarcB on Apr 25, 2008 8:23 PM EDT 0 recs
it worked… he hit the ball well and he got a 1-2-3 top of the 5th

I'm not sure making an out "works"
I get what you mean, and our bench sucks, but I’m with Charlie. 1st and 3rd, I would like to have seen a hitter up there.

by it “works” I guess I was referring to them leaving zach duke out there to pitch

Come on X-Man… 2 men right there waiting for you to drive them in!

first pitch swinging for 0-3vas and a groundout… I knew those numbers they put up were too good to be true

Gasoline
got a match anyone?? Looks like our bullpen is trying to start a fire instead of put one out again.
by Thunder on Apr 25, 2008 9:05 PM EDT 0 recs
Lets go Nate… big hit. Remember back to when you were smoking the ball a few days ago. Start us off.

Well...
if the Pens can come from 3-0 down to win…there’s no reason the Bucs can’t come from 6-0 down to win.

I’d like to see a HR off their closer for McLouth like he did off Saito in LA

With Lidge pitching
it’s possible that someone goes deep to tie or win the game. Was it Nate or Nady that did it opening day in Houston last year.
by Thunder on Apr 25, 2008 10:00 PM EDT 0 recs
Well 2 outs, all up to Bay (6 for 14 against Lidge, 2 HRs)
by MarcB on Apr 25, 2008 10:02 PM EDT 0 recs
Keeping things interesting just isn’t enough. Guess we’ll need to wait till Sunday to win…unless our offense goes double digits tomorrow.
