I’ll agree with you that Mario needs to ride the pine for at least a couple games too. We’re paying Hinske, might as well let him play a couple games and let Adam get his mind right.
by Brakeman8 on Jun 10, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He’s not starting outfield material! I know NH nor JR want to bench him because it would look terrible for the Pirates to already give up on a piece of one of last year’s big trades, but Moss is terrible. He is a fourth outfielder.

He almost didn’t come out of the dugout at the start of the game. Had a talk with Kerrigan and the trainer and then did come out. After the first inning they talked again and sent him back to the clubhouse.

Morton
The entire time before the game and after the first inning when Kerrigan, Russell and the trainer were talking with Morton, they were not examining him in any way. No checking elbows or knees or his back…just talking. So I doubt he is hurt…just sick.

Radio reports that
Morton has a strained hamstring.
Sounds not too terribly bad?

Tabata was telling the (Curve) Pirates he was fine. Morton told the team before the game started…as the announcers mentioned even before the first pitch.

Irrelevant to the game, but...
Daniel Bard pitched a perfect ninth inning in Boston’s 7-0 win on Tuesday night and though he was bringing a 100 MPH fastball, the radar gun was likely wrong on his offspeed pitches.
Bard was clocked at 98 MPH on separate sliders to Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano

Depends on what you mean by hitting better.
He has has a better BA than Mario but I’ll take Mario’s & HR’s to JAck’s 1 any day of the week. And I’m not a big fan of Monroe. I love Jack’s defense but I think he is ideally suited for the 8th spot in the batting order.

That's exactly what I want to see
from the clean-up hitter.
Does anyone know if maybe JR maybe can’t read?
Or is he dyslexic and can’t understand numbers? Maybe he thinks Mario hits 15 HR’s every month instead of one HR every 15 days?
This is looking quite stoopid. I haven’t seen such bad clean-up since Love Canal.

I don't know what we do about Moss.
We don’t want to run Monroe out there, and Delwyn Young is best suited to pinch-hit duty.
Do we really want to see Steve Pearce again?
Go through the trouble of adding Garrett Jones to the 40-man and bringing him up?
We’ve got to get more power out of RF and 1B.

The term derives from hockey’s hat trick and since four is bigger than three; the rationale was that a four-strikeout performance should be referred to by a bigger hat, such as a sombrero

Even funnier from Wiki
The “Olympic Rings” or platinum sombrero applies to a player striking out five times in a game,1 while a horn (after Sam Horn of the Baltimore Orioles, who accomplished the feat in an extra-inning game in 1991) or titanium sombrero is bestowed upon a player who strikes out six times in a single game.

Power
In the past 3 days, the Giants have hit 2 HRs.
The Pirates have hit 0.
The Mets have hit 3.
That puts the Giants at 30, the Buccos at 33, and the Mets at 37 (on the season).
And that’s including the 9 from McLouth… which skew our numbers.

There was the game a couple days back
they batted in the same inning every at bat.
If Mario got a hit, Luigi got a hit.
If Mario walked, Luigi walked.
And if Mario got out, Luigi got out.
