New York Mets @ Pittsburgh Pirates
Paul Maholm vs. John Maine, 12:35. I actually get to go to Pittsburgh for this one. Hopefully, I'll have a substantial update later today. Thanks for your patience. Things are crazy here, but this week looks a bit less crazy.

John Maine v. Paul Maholm
I’d love to watch, too bad it isn’t on FSN. Only significant lineup notes: Jose Reyes sits, Jason Michaels bats ahead of Andy LaRoche in the five hole, Brandon Moss isn’t starting due to his ankle.

I think both, right?
Snell, Karstens, Maholm, Davis, Gorzo, Ohlendorf, didn’t they talked about going to a six man rotation to reduce workload?

Can't see sending anyone to AAA,
without having to screw with the 25 man roster, especially since the Sept 1st roster expansion is coming up. The AAA season ends soon anyhow.

I don’t know if they are going to go to a 6 man rotation or not, but if they decide not to just remove davis and put him back in the bullpen. I know he only had two starts, but i like him a lot better in relief

You’ve got to stop being so apologetic about having a life. I think when people complain because you aren’t posting enough, you should refund their Bucs Dugout membership fee.

Burnett is stepping it up
He’s only been scored on once in his last 10 appearances. His ERA has dropped every month.
He’s got a new out pitch — a slider — that’s nasty against LH batters.
That’s what August and September are for this year — to find out who’s ready to contribute in 2009 and who can be trade bait (Grabow?).
P.S. Burnett may get his first win today in what, 4 years?? (No jinx)

My guess is that Pearce’s hit was a bloop, since it went to left center Michaels didn’t score from second.

question
Hi! I’m new to enjoying baseball. I have a question about pitchers intentionally walking batters. I can understand why they would do this to a strong hitter, but why would they do it to a weaker hitter? Or am I misunderstanding what happened?

The first one
was to get a runner on first to set up a double play.
The second one was walking a stronger hitter.
