on Yahoo sports
if you look at the player’s main profile page, it will show a breakdown of his career stats vs. the team they are playing today and the starting pitcher they are facing. It also shows their stats “on grass/turf this year” and “away/home this year” which I find less than useful generally.

Two problems
I’ve got two problems with today’s lineup. Why in the world is Moss still batting fifth and why is Vazquez ahead of Jaramillo? Jaramillo has been hitting very well so far this season. Vazquez should be in the 8 hole. Luigi should be fifth and honestly, Jararmillo should be sixth. Move Moss down!
Unfortunately...
we’ve been hoping for that all season…and it hasn’t worked yet.
FREDDY
come on…let US be the ones striking first
Jason

wow
freddy getting an SB…was lucky there

Yeah
He didn’t go down easily, which is nice to see.

That’s right, keep Maine’s pitch count up… good AB Paul.

note to Pirates LH batters:
Ignore the inner half of the plate. Wait for a good looking pitch on the outside and nail it.

bahahahaha
pound him with inside heat all day now
Jason

and now
2 SB in a game LMAO

Freddy Sanchez with two SBs:
Some good advance scouting about Ramon Castro’s throwing?
i think
it’s just trying to get a Hit-and-run going because we haven’t scored ANY runs in last 6 games
Jason
The Hanging Curve
man
this is ridiculous….they haven’t had a real hit all day

Looks like the 2008 Pirates Are Back
Getting into the habit of getting behind in the 1st inning.
are you kidding me?
5 BS hits in one inning
Jason

BALBLALBALBLALBL
shut up NY announcers. Get off your horse
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Are you watching on MLB.TV? You can switch to Greg Brown and Bob Walk, though that’s hardly much better.
yeah
I do prefer the Pirates announcers, however I would rather have the HD widescreen stream.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
huh
they must have swapped the video, because earlier it was not.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
is it too high
to come down? alright…say “hi” to the St. Louis announcers

Maybe Brandon Moss's knee is giving him more trouble
than we know about at this point.
There was talk that he was going to have trouble being ready for the start of the season at one point.
If he had a remaining option, the team would probably consider sending him to Indy to get his bat going.
Regardless, it’s getting closer to the point where the team can’t continue to run him out there on a daily basis.
Another ground ball, another base hit, although at least this was hit with a little bit of authority up the middle. 6-0 Mets. What a crappy inning.
jeebes
if Reyes thought that pitch was a ball, he is beyond coddled
Jason
The Hanging Curve
well
there’s the crappy video again
Jason
The Hanging Curve
So much for...
not letting pitchers throw more than 35 pitches in an inning before being removed. 42 pitches that inning…and he’s coming back for more.
and
a first for a Pirates pitcher in how many years? I certainly don’t remember any
Jason

Matt Morris
in his first game as a Pirate, 8/4/07.
Maholm now has more HRs than Morgan, Moss, Hinske, Jaramillo, Vazquez, Young, and Bixler (over half the position players on the roster) combined.
And tied with...
Andy LaRoche and Diaz…so…the only ones on the active roster with more HR are Nate, Freddy, Adam and Monroe.
lord
does this umpire kind of drift in and out of conciousness? Maine has a HUGE strike zone now for some reason.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
and we BLAST balls
that go for outs
Jason
The Hanging Curve
what makes it
even more frustrating is that Maholm was the ONLY pitcher on either fantasy team pitching worth a salt. My fantasy ERA is already destroyed, no amount of good pitching will allow me to compete in ERA.

Paul Maholm - Innings Eater
How long is Russell/Kerrigan going to let Maholm pitch in this 7-1 debacle?
Why not let Veal, Meek or Vasquez get some work?
Problem being...
in the minors…pitchers weren’t “allowed” to throw more than 35 pitches in an inning. Guess that goes by the wayside in the majors as well.
Obviously…the minors is not the spot to prepare for the majors…since the players aren’t “allowed” to do things there that they are “expected” to do in the majors.
JR seems to ignore...
who is on the mound. Doesn’t make any difference whether it’s a rookie or a veteran out there. The only consistency has been the habit of leaving guys out there too long.
who's
Vazquez? You want Ramón pitching?
Jason
The Hanging Curve
No, I Meant Chavez..
but I just get confused btween Chavez, Vasquez, Sanchez, Diaz ,etc.
I’ll figure it out someday. I’m more used to Smith, Jones, Johnson …
or you are a racist
i’ll stick with that

that's
a sight for sore eyes, Adam rolling over on a 2-0 pitch. To make your eyes more sore that is.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Andy ends up hitting something of a line drive, but of course it’s hit right at Tatis (who still almost falls down trying to field it).
for Tatís
I think that makes every play he’s been involved in looks like he’s failing miserably but somehow makes the catch
Jason

Here is a link to Ken Takahashi's career stats in Japan:
http://www.japanesebaseball.com/players/player.jsp?PlayerID=281
Another guy from Japan that the Pirates could have made an effort to get to improve pitching depth within the organization.
shayborg
Because there are many ways to bolster bullpen depth, and the Pirates need to look outside minor trades and the Rule V draft to do so. There are some quality veteran pitchers coming out of Japan each year at an affordable price that could help the Pirates over the course of a 162-game season.
This is really getting depressing.
The team needs to start a fight with the opposition before they start taking out their frustrations on each other.
Gotta say, falling madly in love with Andy LaRoche. Hope some of these doubles turn to HRs in the coming months.
looks like everyone else left early
except Andy
Jason
The Hanging Curve
It's now clear that...
the team that finished 17-37 during August and Septemer is more closely related to the Pirates present talent level…than the 11-7 start we had to the season.
Saw this one in person
If it looked bad on TV, it didn’t do it enough justice.
First off, I’ve been seeing it on TV the past few games, but being there in person it is even more obvious how much we miss Jack Wilson. Balls Jack usually make look routine have been getting through.
Adam LaRoche seems to be swinging late.
Moss seems completely lost.
Freddy Sanchez is making a real case to be resigned.
I also agree with those that think the line up could use some changes. We’re probably stuck with Mario in the 4 hole until Doumit comes back, but I would go with NyjMo, Nate, Freddy, Mario, Luigi, JJ, Moss, Vazquez.
Although, if we wanna give Moss a rest, how about: NyjMo, D.Young, Freddy, Nate, Luigi, JJ, Mario, Vazquez.
Maybe we can teach Maholm and Duke to play RF and let them take some hacks. lol
