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

3 Joey Bats

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?
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.

Barthmaier
is scheduled to start for Indy Thursday.
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.
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.

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.
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.

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

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 up reply actions
I don't think JVB stays in
long enough to give up 10 hits and 6 runs.
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.
Twice in the same inning
I’ve never seen that happen before.
What happened twice?

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.
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.
He's not
Aaron Miles or anything…

2 scoreless innings
and only how many pitches?
Maybe
JVB can do better that 117 in 4 and two thirds!
So Freddy gets a hit

JVB's ERA
is below 9 for the season. Wonder how long it stays 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.)
What'll happen
when JVB turns over the lineup yet???
Brad Ausmus. :(
Good-bye tie game.

The only out the first time through the order was Andruw Jones striking out swinging.
They finally yanked him
And hopefully took Old Yeller out back…
Andruw Jones
one hell of an offseason signing by the Dodgers.

Andruw Jones
Who’s better known as “Ned’s Folly.”
I so want the PBC to make a deal with the Dodgers. “Neddy, you don’t need Kemp (or Loney, or Ethier or LaRoche), you got Andruw Jones on your scary roster.”
Do we really
want another LaRoche?

Ah, here it is.
The trainwreck inning. We can all see it happening, but we can’t stop watching.
JVB running low on gas
Is anyone at least warming up? Or is JVB in the whole inning no matter what since he’s up 3rd next inning?
Burnett's warming
So it’s not going to get much prettier
So, how much longer
before they’re married and have kids?
He’s been flirting/dating for like 5 years now.

That was Piratesque
Watching Berkman try to come from third on a ball he had no business running on.
Kept the trainwreck
to a fender bender. Now get him out of there before we have a real trainwreck.
Since I can't see the game right now...
has JVB actually looked decent…or is he just dodging bullets?
I tried that once
the dancing between the raindrops thing.
It didn’t work for very long.

Best outing of JVB's career?
Nope. His first win he went 8 innings and gave up 1 run to the Mets (Sept. 10, 2004).

bay vs. holliday?
back and forth on MLBTradeRumors.com about bay vs. holliday…I really see bay as the better all-around player, but he gets no love because of holliday’s exposure in the WS last year.
he's a bum.
I hate how he thinks he’s all sweet on the mound and stuff. Gotta love this.

Nice to see
someone else’s bullpen implode for once.
a pirates-like implosion by houston
nice to see it happen to someone else for once…and they thought they were contenders too!
Can't lose them all
Was it the “Andy is the good LaRoche” comment, Adam?? Forgive me (for one night only).
Do my eyes
deceive me?!?
I’ve been listening along on the radio as I’ve been doing some work… we basically need 12 innings to win games that most other teams win in 9 :P
.500 or bust...
No it's not the 12th inning...
but it has been 3.5 hours.
Who'd thunk it...
Pirates with 18 hits…and only 1 position player with no hits…Doumit 0-6.
awesome game
what i watched of it anyways
