Phillies vs. Pirates, 25 April 2008
Philadelphia Phillies at Pittsburgh Pirates, Apr 25, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
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?

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.
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?
Why did they let Duke hit? I’m mystified.

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.
Remember back when we thought Yates was good?

Gasoline
got a match anyone?? Looks like our bullpen is trying to start a fire instead of put one out again.
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.
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.
