rather

have him as the other leadoff at the 9 hole to set the table for the top of the order (depending on where you prefer the pitcher hit)

About the same. He’s hitting .352/.432/.408 as a starter and .350/.409/.500 as a sub.

An awful defensive play

Gah

this strike zone is really messing with Maholm

by DialedtoGiles on Jun 21, 2009 3:57 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

So Young bobbles the ball

which prevents any out from being recorded. But I bet the idiots at pirates.com love him because his average is kinda high.

by ryebr3ad on Jun 21, 2009 4:00 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

You’ve got to be kidding me. Not his fault, but on that play Freddy looked like George Michael. “Still doing that, huh?”

by steelcity22 on Jun 21, 2009 4:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Cutch

I assumed Andrew McCutchen would use this year to get his feet wet, learn NL pitchers and ballparks, then truly break out in 2010.

Statistically, I figured a .275/.350/.400 line was reasonable the rest of the way, albeit a best-case kind of deal.

Maybe he read OnlyBucs and got ticked, maybe he was simply bored in Class AAA, because he’s exceeded my expectations: He’s batting .347/.380/.560 and looks like a candidate for NL ROY.

I know all about small sample sizes, but this guy looks like way more than a speedy leadoff type.

He’s got a certain swagger to him, he appears comfortable in almost every at-bat. I know Jorge Bishop is the big story to some, but what McCutchen’s doing is equally as impressive, at least in my eyes.

by Green_Wave on Jun 21, 2009 4:05 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

The Dodgers knew from long experience

that Delwyn Young was not an adequate OF, and they moved him away from 2B in the minors so he didn’t get killed on a pivot.

He needs to be our primary PH and nothing more.

by patthatt on Jun 21, 2009 4:05 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I agree.

He’s too much of a liability defensively, and his offense isn’t good enough to move him to first base.

by ryebr3ad on Jun 21, 2009 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If Carlos Lee and Adam Dunn can play LF, Delwyn Young should be able to as well. He needs to get his head in the game on defense.

Oh, and how is the K-zone today?

I did turn on the game kinda late…watching Dexter on the computer and forgot about it :). I see Maholm has a crap ton of walks though…inconsistant strike zone, or is Paul just not throwing the ball with any control today?

Robinzon Diaz

came to us with a reputation as being stronger with the bat than behind the plate.

The more I watch him, the more holes I see in his D and game calling.

I’m not saying the Bautista trade netted us nothing, not at all. I think Diaz will at least be a serviceable catcher for the next couple of seasons, but not much more.

by patthatt on Jun 21, 2009 4:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Oh, he can definitely hit, but his defense is terrible. How many balls in the dirt has he tried to just scoop or pick between Friday and today? Drop to your knees, block the ball, and look like a major league catcher! These are major league baseball players that don’t know fundamentals! It’s embarassing really.

The sad thing

is beyond Pearce we dont really have anyone to replace him. IMO, Young has proven he should be nothing more than a PH/DH. His defense is horrible, and while he has a good bat, not nearly enough power to offset his defense.

They obviously want to completely destroy his confidence

and what better way than replacing him with ol’ “Grounder to 2nd” Adam?

Well

they could leave him on the bench for a couple of weeks (I’m sure that’s what they’ll end up doing anyways).

Or trade him to the Nationals for an empty seat.

When you need a hit in the 9th inning

and you turn to Ramon Vazquez… that’s not a good thing.

Just FYI

Game

well, any scouts that were there got to see 5 pitches from Street. Maybe that’s enough for them?

Except

that was the weather in West Virginia today too, so what else have you got going for you?

We'd better put on a good show

at PNC Park and win the series from Cleveland because the team looks poised for a long losing streak otherwise.

One-Run Games

Bucs have won all of four one-run games so far this season. That’s right, four. That matches Kansas City for the lowest total in such games in all of major league baseball.

It’s only fitting that this horrible series end with a one-run loss.

Bob Seger said it best. Get Out of Denver, Baby. Get Out of Denver.

Dave Edmunds

did a completely rockin’ version of that song.

Free your ass and your mind will follow.

We do have a few promising young players in Pittsburgh now,

and we’ve been getting some good news from the farm of late, so hopefully there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel to end the losing and have a winner again.

I guess we’ll just have to be patient.
