Just as a FYI

I’m one of the pierogis in tonight’s race.

Dejan says that

Valerio De Los Santos is the starter.

I really like Minky,

but I winced when I saw him in the five-hole.

by DITO on Jul 28, 2008 6:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He probably wouldn't be a bad #2

Bump Pearce to #5, Bautista to #6, and who cares if Jack or Gomez or Snell are 7, 8, or 9. None of them can hit.

Caveat

Not that lineup construction matters that much!

by matskralc on Jul 28, 2008 6:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He's been alright though...

save the game yesterday (where Peavy supposedly had a huge strike zone).
He takes pitches… aka no 1-pitch outs.
I don’t remember many DPs from him.
Of course, he won’t give you a ton of HRs… but you know, our 5th spot is kinda like Seattle’s DH. Right?

Jack number 2, huh

Now THERE’S a black hole at the top of the line-up. I had hoped those days were long over.

by matskralc on Jul 28, 2008 6:10 PM EDT   0 recs

Hopefully it's not

one of those Freddy things where he stays there until he starts hitting again.

When

is Jack Wilson due back from the all star break?

by Thunder on Jul 28, 2008 7:25 PM EDT   0 recs

Funny no?

Get near the trade deadline, and his play drops off as if he doesn’t even exist.
So, to answer your question… I saw a couple days (max) after the deadline has passed.

Add another run here

on a Taveras hit.
Would’ve been more, but McLouth got Tulowitzki at home.

Hey all

Went to the ass-whupping Saturday evening :(

Everybody in the stadium started freaking out when JR pulled McLouth, Bay, etc. Everyone just assumed that they got dealt in the middle of the game again… hehe.

Teixeira is now being shopped (the Braves are taking bids).

God, for all the "good offense" thing

it’s so frustrating to watch the bottom of the line-up in situations like that.
Bases loaded, 1 out… and we see 2 Ks. Sure, it was Snell & CGz. But still… at least hit the ball.

Is it just me....

....or has the Nady/Marte deal taken what little wind this team had out of its sails?

by bucjaws on Jul 28, 2008 8:07 PM EDT   0 recs

It seems as if it has.

The offense lost a big bat and just died.

you pretty much let the players know that you don’t give a sh** about this year.

I can understand management quitting on the year...

...but I can’t understand it from the players. If you’re a big league player, you made it because you’re super competitive. You can’t just give up in July.

by bucjaws on Jul 28, 2008 8:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know... I'm not a player

but I’d imagine that giving it your all through July (even with the horrible pitching… something that isn’t improving at all) and seeing no improvement by the pitching (and no even alright additions to help) and the trades can’t help.

Plus, the trade of X-Man has to hurt… 1 less solid hitter this year (Pearce hasn’t shown anything yet) leaves you with 3 good hitters (Nate, Jason-ity, Doumit), 2 eh? guys (Black Hole, Freddy), and 4 bad ones (Jack, the pitcher, Joey Bats & Pearce until he proves himself even a bit).

God... if this team is going to stink it up

at least give us a couple more trades, just to make the next couple days exciting. After that, the team will continue to stink and interest will drop as football starts. But please, a couple of trades to give us something to talk about.

If that's the case...

expect a bunch of these guys to disappear soon. Would they be doing the same thing if Nady/Marte got hurt??

Nady/Pearce

Pearce is going to make Pirate fans forget about Nady in a hurry.

I want to see

players that want to play, and want to win at all costs. If one trade is going to disrupt the entire clubhouse, then you may as well blow up the clubhouse.

by Thunder on Jul 28, 2008 8:15 PM EDT   0 recs

Time to score

Gomez and McLouth walk to lead off the inning, and they’ll pull De Los Santos. I’m calling a Doumit bomb now that he’ll be hitting lefty.

by shayborg on Jul 28, 2008 8:30 PM EDT   0 recs

Well,

that would make it 3-2 after Jack hits into another DP.

Ryan!

Takes two pitches out of the zone, just misses on two fastballs, fouling them off, and then rips a breaking ball into the corner. Great AB. 3-2 Bucs.
