Typical Pirate start
Sanchez grounds into a double play. UGH
With Morris Starting
it would be 5 nothing right now. That being said, I take comfort that the new regime had the courage to eat the 10 Mil it was saddled with by the Keystone cops.
I just had to log on and tell someone
that I am flabbergasted at how well Dumatrait has looked through two innings. Where did this 92-94 mph consistent fastball come from? How many off-speed pitches has he thrown? At some point he’ll have to throw more benders, but right now his fastball has velocity and great movement.
Who are these guys?
and what did they do with our Pirates?
Lumber Company
Maybe the Bucs are preparing for Willie Stargell Lumber Company Bobblehead night next Friday.

I almost made it here before the first run crossed the plate.
That would’ve been shocking.

Wehner and Frattare
How about Wehner responding to Frattare’s comments that LaRoche was scratched because of a jammed wrist. Wehner said that LaRoche put on his best batting practice display of power all season long. Frattare didn’t respond, he just moved onto another topic. Think a lefty pitcher put LaRoche on the bench?
Gameday is way behind right now...
Jose K is still batting.

Looks like the Nats have caught up with Dumatrait's fastball a bit
Sanchez airmails a relay throw home over Doumit. Is that necessarily a bad thing?

phil
he’s been effective out of the bullpen so i dont see it as a shock that he’s throwing well now…..but he has started to struggle after a few innings….so watch out.

I'm sorry but this trivia question competition between the four broadcasters
is lamer than the pierogy race. Who cares?
i kind of like it
before now it was COMPLETELY pointless…..

Wow… what’s this strange feeling I’m experiencing while watching this game? It’s almost like… happiness…?
.500 or bust...
And the lights go out in Washington
the night is not only young, but dark

I have to give Bautista credit… while he didn’t get the out, that is the kind of play that, earlier in the season, would have been hilariously tragic.
.500 or bust...
My goal for the end of this season, is to make you guys more positive thinkers. Always thinking that we can not hold leads, etc..
Well...
The announcers said that they might suspend the game, but the on-field announcer lady said that they could potentially have to replay the game at a later date, thereby eliminating our awesome lead :(
.500 or bust...
oh man
hopefully this doesn’t affect dumatrait too much…just about as long as a half-inning break, right?
He might have been ready to go...
but he ain’t pitching like it.
He's still throwing hard enough,
ranging from 89-93, but he keeps missing his spots, he’s low a lot.
Somehow Switching over to "Man vs. Wild" during the delay
reminds me of watching the Pirates vs the Yankees.
And Nate has his motor running tonight
And Doumit is in and LaRoche is not
I think we’re going to be okay here
That was a pretty good pitch
It was on the outside corner, but it was a breaking ball lefty to lefty. I don’t know how you don’t swing at that.
The 4th inning has proved to me
Dumatrait is not starter-material. He has to get outs on the 2nd and 3rd go round through the order and he has failed to do that.
You are definately right,
but he’s shown enough that he deserves another look or two. I least he isn’t putting a ton of people on base for free, and he has struck out four.
Okay.
When does he start serving his 25 game suspension? A think a 2 home run game is prima facia evidence of steroid use f/Jose B.
I wonder if McClouth leads the league in broken bats. I don’t see nearly as many from anybody else on any team I’ve watched this season.
.500 or bust...
Chill out X
At least you still lead the NL in RBIs…..someone out there will want you come July.
Jose Bautista with a big game tonight-
and do we ever need it to continue.
I still think Freddy has some sort of problem with his arm that they are trying to keep under wraps because it can`t be corrected during the season without him missing a bunch of time. I might be completely off-base, but we`ll see.
Capps, Marte, Grabow and Yates-definitely something to work with.
