Ugh

I’ve run out of things to say about his insistence on batting the worst hitting regular in the league 2nd.

Yeah

I don't think he knows

are the rockies announcers talking about?

by northsidenotch on Jul 18, 2008 9:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Apples aren't

falling far from the tree tonight. Every team in the system above Bradenton is getting beat tonight. Lincoln gave up 5 to Potomac in 4+...and the rest of the bullpen has given up 8 more.

has something wrong with his hand? Brown said it may be a blister

I don't think

he’s even gotten angry enough to get tossed

by Battlin Bob on Jul 18, 2008 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe he should let

Doug go out and argue. We know he can get tossed.

by Thunder on Jul 18, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

so

they scored without even getting a hit….hmm..that’s a new one, even for us.

Since we've got the Rockies feed...

and Press Pass doesn’t have it…have the Pirates announcers admitted that Monday’s starter is likely to be JVB?

Of course, since the Rocks DFA’d Mark Redman today…I guess he’s a possibility.

by Thunder on Jul 18, 2008 10:02 PM EDT reply actions  

Heh. Nah, we’d have to wait ten days. :)

trade for him right now and play him Monday?

Haven't

said anything yet.. too busy talking about players tagging up at 2nd base for some reason

by Battlin Bob on Jul 18, 2008 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes

but the Pirates pitchers tend to forget that the first inning counts, too.

by Thunder on Jul 18, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

So all we need

is for Snell to have a “pre-first” inning (practice?) where he can get the “getting hammered” out of the way before the game, right?

I’ve wondered about that. Maybe the Pirates could alter their pre-game routines.

by Charlie Wilmoth on Jul 18, 2008 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm out...

for a short nap…since I have to go to work in 2 hours. Maybe this game will still be going on at that point.

any ideas

about the whole “pitcher batting 8th” thing?

i pose that we have had LESS offense in the games since JR imposed it. Anyone?

by PureTekulve on Jul 18, 2008 10:22 PM EDT reply actions  

i don't know

i have noticed though that the number 9 batter has led off a lot of innings since it happened. which is a good thing if it’s jack, but at that same time, i don’t know if it would have been better for jack to bat the inning before that either.

i really don’t think it has mattered

by northsidenotch on Jul 18, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

there have been

a NUMBER of situations where the pitcher has come up with at least 2 guys on base though…i know we haven’t won more than one game in a row since he altered the lineup.

by PureTekulve on Jul 18, 2008 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions

My man!

Jamie Moyer beat the Marlins tonight. He has 10 career starts against Florida and has won all 10. He’s 5-0 on the road vs. Florida, with a 1.34 ERA. He’s still 45, and he’s done all this in the past three years.

makes

us look just awesome. it took 5 guys and 3 hits last inning for us to get one of those.

yeah

where was bay? if he were just looking in that direction he may have been able to get that in time

Bay was running towards the infield.

Snell....

he actually didn’t pitch that bad. Got a quality start, the 3rd run was unearned, and was pretty solid after that first inning

I think it's time for the Pirates annual

“we suck and we don’t want to be good so we’re going to lose a lot of games in a very short span now” mood.
