I really like Minky,

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

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!

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?

Hopefully it's not

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

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.

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.

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 up reply actions   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).

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.

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.

Why?

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".

He got a huge jump

Easy steal though he looked awkward going into second…

Haha

2-2 on steals for Doumit. That was the highlight of the game Saturday night :P

.500 or bust...

Well

Minky had a nice diving catch Saturday night, too… It was the first losing Pirates game I’ve been to in this century.

.500 or bust...

See?

Now you’re a jinx.

Haha

It was a big crowd, and they gave JVB all sorts of hell… it was nuts.

Other fun stuff in the minors

bad night in Indy…Carlos Maldonado pitched the 8th inning for the Indians…they are down 14-1 in the 9th. No, he didn’t give up that many. Syracuse scored 11 in the 2nd.

Phil Coke threw 4 innings against Altoona tonight (0 H, 0 BB, 6 K) but Curve up 3-1 in the 9th.

Dang

6 K’s in 4 innings?
Is he still starting, or did they move him to reliever?

Oh, and both him & Kontos say they are fine… no injuries.
Was the deal changed for a different reason?

Actually

they moved him to reliever because that’s what he projects as if he makes it to the majors.

I knew I’d read it somewhere…

Also read elsewhere

That he’s coming up on his innings limit and they wanted to keep him throwing, just not go way over.

NH

was looking for more major league ready. That changed the deal.

Snell + Bautista = dominant

There was noooooooooooooooooooooooo doubt about it!

I’m surprised that Colorado managed even 4 runs. Good game all around.

Nice to see the offense

especially after the horror in Colorado just a bit back.
