Me too, I haven't seen starting pitching this BAD ...

since 1972 … when I was in Little League.

JR's craptacular...

CF Nate
2 WTF
C Doumit
LF Jason-ity
RF X-Man
1 Black Hole
3 Joey Bats
P JVB
SS Wilson

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

From Dejan's blog

Marino Salas was optioned back to Class AAA Indianapolis, and the reason Freddy Sanchez was held out of the lineup yesterday was minor knee pain.

Also from Dejan

Russell said Yoslan Herrera remains in line to start Thursday, “as of now.”

Time to make alternate plans for Thursday?

Barthmaier

is scheduled to start for Indy Thursday.

by Thunder on Jul 21, 2008 7:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They could

(if they wanted to) just give Tytanic a couple innings today and then call him up for Thursday.
Or Barthmaier.
Or, preferably, just go with 3 or 4 relievers in the game.
It couldn’t be much worse… unless the starting reliever is Wreck Specks.

Well, Tytanic

is done for the night, and it wasn’t pretty. 1.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HR. 48 pitches, 29 for strikes. A screwed up pickoff (Pearce got the error) and 2 SB. I don’t think we see him for Thursday OR Saturday. Remember, he’s pitched 1 time before tonight since his spot start for the Pirates.

by Thunder on Jul 21, 2008 7:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That won't work well

though we could throw out Herrera, Tytanic & JVB 3 straight days for “fun” to see which one can hold a common opponent to the lowest run total. Or maybe how many runs total are scored by the opposing team in the 3 game stretch.
You know… start a pool or something. Anything to make these blowouts a bit more fun. :)

I refuse

to believe they will run that crap back out there this year.

Of course, we are talking about the Bucs though.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 21, 2008 7:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That crap meaning

Herrera?
Or JVB?
Or Barthmaier?
Or Tytanic?
Or, hell with it… Salas?

Touche'

Herrera must be proud to be the crappiest of the crappiest.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 21, 2008 8:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well,

we can’t bring Salas back until after the trade deadline unless someone gets hurt (gotta stay down 10 days).

by Thunder on Jul 21, 2008 8:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

And with

Dumatrait scheduled to get 2 or 3 rehab starts once he finally starts throwing, I’m guessing that we won’t see him before mid-August…if that soon. Gorzo has shown no signs of improvement at Indy.

Guess we need to pray for at least 2 days of heavy rain every 5 days.

Pop quiz

Which former number one pick will put up the better line tonight. Moskos or JVB?

by Hitman Easler on Jul 21, 2008 8:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't think JVB stays in

long enough to give up 10 hits and 6 runs.

by Thunder on Jul 21, 2008 8:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He better not be in that long.

Moskos thru 5

11 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 WP. And all but 1 hit and the WP were in the 1st 2 1/3 innings.

by Thunder on Jul 21, 2008 8:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

10 walks maybe

but not 10 hits.

Twice in the same inning

I’ve never seen that happen before.

I’m thinking we got a call there.

When are they going to do something about these f-ing bats?

Jason Bay just singled because Ty Wigginton couldn’t field ball since Bay’s broken bat was hurtling right at him.

by matskralc on Jul 21, 2008 8:24 PM EDT   0 recs

Never

the MLBPA would probably get all pissed off and sue the hell out of everyone. Just because they could.
Because the PA’s are stupid like that (in all leagues, not just the MLB).

LaRoche

That’ll help that big .255 ave. I just wish he’d be more than a part time player…July to Sept. won’t cut it.

Timely hitting

and some pitching would go a long way for these Buccos!

by 5ksuperdave on Jul 21, 2008 8:34 PM EDT   0 recs

3 more innings of this ...

qualifies him as the ACE of this staff.

by Pirate in Ole VA on Jul 21, 2008 8:40 PM EDT   0 recs

2 scoreless innings

and only how many pitches?

by 5ksuperdave on Jul 21, 2008 8:44 PM EDT   0 recs

Maybe

JVB can do better that 117 in 4 and two thirds!

a tie and not a deficit right now.

it doesn’t get 20 below zero there.

Jacks**t

He’s really loving hitting in that No. 9 hole. JR could put Freddy the S. there if he’s ok with 0 for 17. (Heck, he could put Feddy O. there and get 0 for 17.)
