Already a late start...

and now it’s delayed even longer.

Does it look like it might start soon? Maybe?

So... it might be a stupid question, but...

what’s the rotation looking like now?

Snell, Gorzo, Duke, Maholm, Dumatrait?

I think that’s it… In unrelated news, I’m watching the Pens/Flyers game and they just showed a trailer for the upcoming Mike Myers movie The Love Guru. Dear God it looks freaking horrible.

Well,

He ain’t been calling good games this year. The Pirates are something like 4-10 when Paulino starts, and 14-10 when Doumit starts. Aside from Pirates giving up .70 run less with Doumit catching, and more steals when Paulino catches.

by Thunder on May 13, 2008 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, if he's no good,

why would the old regime keep him in games instead of starting Doumit last year? Surely they weren’t that incompetent?

Brewski’s make me snippier than normal sometimes

by Trogluddite on May 13, 2008 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Definitely not.

They saw that A-Ram had hit his ceiling and shipped him out for what they could.
They were amazing at trading players for relievers… and everyone knows you need relievers.
They acquired All-Star form vets like Jeromy Burnitz, Joe Randa & Sean Casey, and dealt away (or let leave) destined-to-be-nobodies like Bronson Arroyo & Chris Young & Chris Shelton & etc…

Definitely not incompetent. In fact, probably the best thing since sliced butter.

Of AAA pitchers & John Van Buren

(or whatever his last name was)

Listen to a lot of sports talk radio up here – the Yanks signed (f/like 34 million) Kei Igawa as a consolation prize after Boston signed “what’s his name” from Japan.

After another lousy start, most fans are wondering if Igawa will ever perform at the big league level like he was performing at AAA or in Japan.

One commentator noted that in Japan, Igawa got a lot of outs w/an average to slightly above average change-up. The commentator said that an average to slightly above average change-up will also get out a lot of AAA batters out.

HOWEVER, the commentator noted, it won’t do much good against Major League hitters.

The bullpen isn’t exactly shut-down the opponent good, but the starters are always in too long, and this happens like every game.

The starter implodes in the 6th inning. Again.

I know what you are saying,

and I have complained about that before…I think Russell sucks and managing the starting pitching. But tonight feels a little different. I think he is still throwing well, and if his spot doesn’t come up in the order I’d consider throwing him to start the seventh.

by DITO on May 13, 2008 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If he does come up this inning

the score will be at least tied, since he’s up 7th in the inning.

Or maybe not. Maybe he used all his good innings in the fifth.

Why Grabow?

I mean that two ways:

1 - why, Grabow, did you pitch to Pujols?
2 - why… don’t we just blow the pen up and start over. No problem with Grabow, but obviously Russell’s lost faith in Yates. We need a dependable righty besides Capps.

by azibuck on May 13, 2008 10:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah...

but Grabow is pretty effective against righties. I know ideally you’d love to have the good right hander to bring in there, but Grabow owning the eight has worked well for this team so far.

And it is tough to walk Pujols and put another runner on there

Not replying to that comment

I don’t know why I do this, but I always wonder what might have been. Not just in a “if we had Nunez” way, but how other dominoes might fall if we’d never done this or that. And like, I’m following every start Todd Redmond makes now, for the same bizarre reason. He fanned 9 the other night, by the way.

But yeah, I’d like to get a look at Nunez. The numbers, and his age, make me think he’ll be a useful guy for a long time, and will probably be thought of as closer material, which is a nice trade chip to have.
