Pittsburgh Pirates @ Arizona Diamondbacks
Jeff Karstens vs. Randy Johnson, 3:40 PM.
UPDATE after six innings: If you're not watching this one, you may want to get to a TV. I will say no more.
UPDATE: Karstens' bid for a perfect game--and no hitter--ends in the eighth.

This is the most pathetic Pirates lineup I've ever seen
From Dejan:
Pirates’ lineup: 1. Chris Gomez 3B. 2. Mientkiewicz. 3. Freddy Sanchez 2B. 4. Jason Michaels CF. 5. Brandon Moss LF. 6. Steve Pearce RF. 7. Raul Chavez C. 8. Jack Wilson SS. 9. Karstens.

Not that this is important but...
The betting line for this game was ridiculous last night. I would imagine it’s even worse with the sad lineup that’s being trotted out there today. I can’t check betting lines from work, but it would be interesting to see.

That lineup is embarassing, seriously.
Why schedule a day off for several players on the same day? Wouldn’t it make more sense to stagger than so as not to appear like a minor league team. Why would anyone pay to see this team play unless you are a D-Back fan?

He's gotten
2 fastball fly-outs, 2 curveball fly-outs, a ground-out and a K.
The scouting report I saw said he used his curveball to force fly-outs (they said weak… not sure how weak these fly-outs have been)... he’s been showing that in the game + plus 2 innings he’s pitched so far.

Spot on comment
The difference in the level of preparation for the ML between Pearce (and everyone else from Indianapolis) and the Yankee, Red Sox and Dodger newbies is staggering.
Hopefully management will spend this winter clearing out the old guard in minor league coaches. The teams minor league coaching is appalling.
I worry about Tabata growing up in this organization. He needs a mentor. Does anyone know if Woody Huyke would be willing to come back and mentor the kid in Altoona or Indianapolis next year?

from
DK’s blog
One thing about Karstens - and that one thing would be higher than Arizona’s hit total through four innings - that the Pirates probably will like even when he does not pitch well: This kid appears to have no fear. He is throwing all four pitches for strikes, and it appears he could not care less that they are hit hard or not. Just gets outs. A very jarring sight after much of the other pitching all of us have watched this summer.

Did you write to me yesterday? I live in SD but I have no idea. I (obviously) don’t stay in hotels there are rarely come downtown unless it’s to see a ballgame. Too touristy. You’ll probably have the easiest time if you stay near a trolley route, so you don’t have to park downtown… although I’m guessing that weekend won’t be a huge problem either way. There are a number of hotels near the stadium because the convention center is also there.

I live in San Diego, too. The Marriott right next to the stadium is one of the nicest I’ve stayed in and I travel frequently. They have a very cool rooftop bar (“Altitudes”) that looks into the stadium, more or less. Also has a view of the Coronado bridge.
I’m not sure what the parking situation is there, or how much it is per night…but it’s a perfect location.

Karma
The timing of the Joba visit to Dr. Andrews and this start by Karstens has to be riling up the Yanks fans. I love it.

Today was the first time
all season, as far as I can remember, that the Pirates were the lead story on mlb.com’s rotating box scores… without involving a trade. :D

As long as he gets an out here, keep him in to try for the SO and CG.

In 1971
I saw Luke Walker lose a no hitter ine 9th at TRS. Second game of a double header against the Dodgers. Rookie catcher Joe Furgeson(sp?) broke it up IIRC.

The d-back announcers
are probably the best away announcers I’ve heard all season (not counting the Phillies announcers, which to me aren’t “away” and are also pretty good).

Tabata
is currently on a rehabilitation assignment at Rookie League Bradenton for his hamstring injury. Presumably he’ll go to Altoon in a week or so.

Capps and Paulino are there too. Tabata is making Paulino look very bad (not that that’s hard or anything).

He really needs to work on his interview skills though, very boring but I’m still glad to have him.
