When we faced Marquis earlier this year...
we lost 13-1.
He gave up 6 hits & 1 run in 6 innings, K’ing 7 and walking 1.
Gorzo last 2.2 innings in that game.
After him, we threw out… Dumatrait.
He went 2.1 innings, giving up 2 hits and walking 1.
Dumatrait’s career ERA against the Cubs is 7.36. Not good.
Of course, his career ERA is 7.62 (3.96 this year, 15.00 last year)

Dejan had an interesting blurb re: Dumatrait in today's PG.

Oops. Hit post too quick. Here is what I found interesting...
“An American League scout watching one of Dumatrait’s first two starts, using a detailed grading system, came up with an overall score that ranked Dumatrait as “a No. 2 or 3 starter.” Such an assessment is not reached lightly, either, as scouts often are required to explain unusual evaluations to their general managers.”

Dang.
I wonder what they’ve got for the rest of the Pirates starters.

I hate to do this, honest
But what time is the Pens game? And it’s on Versus and not some weird other channel right? Because I’m looking and I’m scared I’m blacked out. :S
Good to see us score some first inning runs, I hope Dumatrait can hold it together. It would be pretty damn fun to win today.

On. Again.

We should just do the slow=pitch softball thing with Soriano...
Point to first and have him take his base.

In what universe
is it possible that our pitchers don’t lead the league in walks allowed? This one, I guess.

Eh, no kidding. Maybe Littlefield is scouting now.

Isn't he
a scout for the Cubs? That would take him out of the equation :)
by Bukanier on May 18, 2008 4:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe he
scouts for both teams in Chicago.

Stupid Bixler.

This will be
the 11th game this year Pirates pitchers have walked seven or more.
8, 11, 8, 10, 7, 8, 9, 9, 7, 7, 7 and counting.
by bucdaddy on May 18, 2008 4:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
the other three
Milwaukee = 8 (9, 8, 8, 7, 8, 8, 9, 8)
Colorado = 4 (7, 7, 8, 8)
San Fran = 4 (7, 8, 7, 7)

let’s sweep the last place Brewers now. :)

Pirates now
4-7 in games where they walk 7 or more.
It may be just coincidental, since we’ve played the Cubs more than anyone else, but five of those 7+ walk games have been vs. Chicago. And to think, this series we should have walked Soriano about seven times.
by bucdaddy on May 18, 2008 5:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
What is the Pirates record now
in games where they have a chance to hit .500?
I leaning towards very very bad, bordering on horrific.
