Rays vs. Pirates, 29 June 2008

Tampa Bay Rays at Pittsburgh Pirates, Jun 29, 2008 1:35 PM EDT


Andy Sonnanstine vs. Tom Gorzelanny, 1:35 PM. Here's the box. I'm not sure whether Romulo Sanchez, who just replaced Ty Taubenheim on the roster, will be available or not.

Blacker Hole Sanchez and JR are secret lovers...

that has to be it. Ugh, no Doums…......miracle if the Bucs pull this one out.

But hey, I believe in miracles.

Chavez is catching

the Bucs always seem to win that way

I like Chavez...

just hate not having Doumit’s bat in the lineup.

I understand he needs his days off...

but man, I would try to keep him in the lineup somehow against the better teams. Especially with the 2 auto outs we have in there everyday.

the christening of the name “WTF”

Five times in five games our pitchers have walked

the opposing pitcher. That just flat out sucks balls. Gorzo is the leader of the stink brigade.

5 LOB in 2 innings

nothing like playing with a lit stick of dynamite!

In typical Pirate fashion...

41 pitches to get through 2 innings. JVB again today?

by Hitman Easler on Jun 29, 2008 2:05 PM EDT reply actions  

If JVB has to pitch today...it's pretty safe that...

someone else will be on the DL by Wednesday…or Herrera will be starting…or worse yet…bullington. The only way Barthmaier or Taubenheim can come back for Wednesday is as an injury replacement.

I'll take it....

but walking LaRoche is as bad as walking the pitcher.

Hard to tell

But he and JVB went to the same college Kent St.

I really think their pitching styles are similar.

by Bad Andy on Jun 29, 2008 2:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m not watching the game today, but last time I saw Sonnanstine I thought he might end up as a reliever. He was throwing from a sort of 3/4 motion at the time. I gather he doesn’t do that so much anymore. He doesn’t throw very hard and uses different arm angles and a bunch of different pitches to make up for it.

Yankees...

after 3rd spot in the lineup today…they’re fairly toothless. Damon, Jeter, ARod, Posada (at 1st), Betemit, Cabrera, Molina, Christian and Rasner. No Giambi or Matsui or Cano. A Sunday lineup. Of course, Jeter gets the 1st hit, and Ollie immediately throws a WP.

I guess the bullpen was spent

after the past 2 games

Look for Sanchez v2.0 in the 9th

Out of the inning.

We need 2 runs in 2 innings to tie it… 3 runs would be preferred (no more extra inning games right now, please).
