Ah...

the Post-Gazette has it.

For the first time in 52 years, a Pirate pitcher will bat somewhere other than ninth.

I tried to link it but failed.......

It’s on the Pirates page on the PG website.

Yeah, saw it...

just the last place I looked. Went to MLB, Yahoo! & ESPN to see if they had the batting line-ups up very early…

Now it makes no sense

to have Maholm batting 8th. Just have Jack lead off. It would still leave you with…
SS Jack
2B FPF (first pitch Freddy)
CF Nate Sr
LF Bay
C Doumit
RF Nady
1B The Roach
3B Minky
P Maholm.

Not much difference…just means Jack gets 1 more at bat than with Russell’s lineup.

Must be

that changeup that DK says JVB has been throwing his last few games.

There are currently 87 players in the NL eligible for the batting title...

Of those 87, your leadoff hitter for the PBC tonight ranks 86th in OBP. That’s right. Getting on base.

He is also dead last in OPS in the league.

Lovely,

those of us with MLB.tv get to hear George Grande and Jeff Brantley.

um... he's not?

He’s been good this year…

That's not saying much.

their radio guy is pretty funny… he’s old and crochety, though I can’t remember his name..

I actually like him....

used to listen to him and the old lefthander way back when.

by Hitman Easler on Jun 30, 2008 8:22 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's not afraid

to give the Reds hell on the air if they’re stinking up the joint. Needless to say, they’ve provided him with plenty of ammo this season. My brother board-ops a Reds affiliate in West Virginia, so he keeps me posted on what Marty bitches about.

.500 or bust...

Why

is Big Nate out? Injury?

by what_the_crap on Jun 30, 2008 8:21 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He tweaked his leg the other night

I think it was a hammy pull… probably just resting him up a little.

What's been printed in the media

is sore knees, from fouling balls off of them.

Wow!

They promised us that LaRoche would hit for a ton in June. I just didn’t expect it’d take until the 30th.

I guess the Roach

is a 2nd half hitter (tonight is game 82).

If it was any other starter...

someone else would’ve had to get out of the mess for them.
So Maholm getting out of his own… that’s a great thing.

PNC question

Hello Buccos,
Dodger fan planning a trip out to PNC. Need some help with the seating chart. I see the field boxes have a row AA. Is that behind Z or up in front??

Thanks

by bigcpa on Jun 30, 2008 9:08 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

behind Z

still good seats though

89 pitches through 7 innings,

and you take the starter out. This is a part of the game that I just don`t agree with anymore. An overworked bullpen; that has some suspects because of injuries, but you still don`t take the opportunity to look for a CG. Anyway, hope we keep the lead and get the win.

JR can't win here

If there’s been one major criticism of JR on this site, it’s that he keeps his starters in one inning too long. (Sadly though, I agree with you in this instance.)

This is a perfect example of stupid management

of a pitching staff. Maholm should`ve pitched the 8th, and with good results, should`ve been back out there in the 9th. 89 pitches and you take the guy out….Retarded.

John Russell should get fined by the kangaroo court for this one.

39-43

The team motto for the second half should be:

Let`s WIn 78 In 2008!
