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.

gave up one run in 1st inning
Hopefully he settles down.

Is he going to the DL?

Duke to pitch from the bullpen
According to Lanny, talked to john russel and neil Huntington

He didnt say anything about going down to AAA which absolutely sucks,
He said Gorzo or Ross will get that time

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

My guess
is that Romulo Sanchez will be sent down on Thursday if Duke is going to the bullpen, and Gorzo will get called up.

Capps is going to be activated Friday
so someone else has to go down too
10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

Guess
that would mean Davis, Yates or Bautista. I don’t see Burnett, Grabow or Beam going anywhere.

Gawd, the pirates feel like they’re going thru motions right now aside from Maholm pitching.

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)

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

Didn’t he hit a grand slam this year already? or was it just homeruns.

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?
by ataraxite on Aug 18, 2008 3:18 PM EDT 0 recs
The first one
was to get a runner on first to set up a double play.
The second one was walking a stronger hitter.

The first thing I see
when I start watching is a groundout to Jack to end it. Didn’t get to see anything else, but hey, we won!

Grabow 2 BB in the 9th
This may tell you why JR went with Burnett with bases loaded in the 8th.
by WstCstBucco on Aug 18, 2008 3:31 PM EDT 0 recs
Nope
It’s because JR is just as mindlessly regimented in his assignment of “roles” to his bullpen as most other managers are.
