Just for the record:
I’m going to be out of town for a week, and unreachable via internet and phone. So don’t panic if you don’t see me around.
Jersey.
Parents have a place down south there, right on the bay.
Going to be a working vacation. Wiring, replacing a broken window, stuff like that. Still, any port in a storm.
With MO connectivity?
Sounds like a little slice o’ heaven.

In other more depressing news...
PG DK just reported that the Bucs have lost our on Cuthbert. He will reportedlty sign with KC for about 1.5 million dollars. Bummer. We better get Sano!
$1.5 mill? Wow!
It was reported that the Buccos weren’t going to go over 300K-500K for him?

Yep, that's what scares me.
How much do you think Sano is going t o get now? Hope it doesn’t happen but I see us getting outbid here. Especially if we stick to our “internal valuation” system.
By all accounts...
…we like Sano plenty well enough to put in a high number on him. If they have the money to spend, there’s no doubt in my mind that they’ll spend for the kid.
Unrelated to all this
but the Rays DFA’d Winston Abreu.
He’s 32 and all, but had some nice numbers down in AAA.
Any chance NH goes after him?

He seems like a better option than Luis Ayala

That's because...
when he guesses…he inevitably guesses wrong.
Not much to say when you're being
2-hit by Bruce Chen (even if it is just 3 innings in).

A seven pitch inning...
Paul needs more of those…or someone else to pitch to Bloomquist and Butler.
Gorzo
2.2 innings, 7 Ks.
But losing, because a Shelby Ford error (his 8th on the season) led to 2 unearned runs.

considering what was little was given up...DY
might be huntingtons best move so far, based on how he has played since aquired and what little was given up for him.
It would have been a better trade...
if we had the need for a DH more than 6 games a year.
just on his pinch hitting #'s alone it was a good deal
considering the bums off the bench last year
You said a mouthful!

jorgearangure #Pirates didn’t think Cuthbert was worth $1 mill.wasn’t matter of Cuthbert picking KC over Bucs.Bucs weren’t going to offer more than $500k
As much as everyone loves making fun of Twitter it is a great way to get instant baseball news. I recommend heyman Porrotto law stein arangure

On Gorzo...
I wonder if while Gorzo was with the big club…Kerrigan made some adjustments to something in Gorzo’s delivery? He had 7 K’s in 5 innings in his last start…now 10 in 4 tonight. He’s never put up large K numbers.
Only problem is that all those strikeouts tend to bring high pitch counts. He’s thrown 74 in 4 innings tonight. Considering he’s likely still getting stretched out…I only see 1 or 2 more innings out of him tonight.
But this gives Mario
the chance to hit a bases-empty dinger.

In this case...
I don’t have a problem with only 2 strikeouts. He’s only walked 1 man…and is economic enough on the pitch count that he has a small shot at a CG if Russell decides to let him go that far.
As far as I am concerned...
Morgan is 0-3 tonight.
Let's see the Pirates fanpage on facebook's quotes in response to the possible Morgan trade...
Aside from the fact that they keep calling him Nyger.
“if the nats make this deal, i can see them turning that ship around and making a run at the pennant.”
“Good idea, trade away yet another good young player.”
“lets trade the guy that came to rebuild the franchise so that we can rebuild it. makes no sense….”
Good, quality entertainment.
Actually,
the guy that writes it is pretty good.
The members seem to be the mouth-breathing yinzers that inhabit the P-G blog, only younger.

Right off Jose Guillen's face
Off the wall and off the nose.
Morgan is the not the only outfielder the Nationals are looking at. They have interest in Braves outfielder Jordan Schafer. He began the season as Atlanta’s everyday center fielder, but was sent down after the team acquired Nate McLouth from the Pirates.
The Nationals have been unhappy with their outfielders for quite some time. They have come to the come to the conclusion that Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham belong in the American League as designated hitters and Elijah Dukes makes too many mental mistakes.
We should probably jump on a deal before they find someone else

Somebody explain to me why the Nationals are trying to be buyers right now. I know the Nats aren’t very happy with their outfield play, but they are terrible and should just finish out the season with what they have. A trade is going to require them to give up some of their good, young prospects, something the Nationals really can’t afford to do. They don’t need to be any trading. Instead, they just need to ride it out for the rest of this season, look to maybe sign some free agent OF in the offseason, and hold on to their young prospects.
Well, they're looking
for “young” OF guys, maybe they don’t like their prospects there?

The Nats...
It seems like the Nats are looking for a young, cost-controlled and speedy outfielder as well as a defensively adept one.

done after 5 innings. 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 12 K, 1 pickoff, 87 pitches, 53 strikes. Hopefully the FO takes note.

slightly surprised
they pulled him after 85 pitches. Thought they’d try getting one more out of him, but I guess they want to try to get more insurance.
He did get hit on the arm in the 4th
maybe they’re just being cautious

He's started every game since he came up...
so I would suspect that he will get a day off sometime in the next week or so.

tell Cappy to sit down.

needs to put out an APB for the Curve offense…playing a DH tonight…they have a grand total of 1 run and 6 hits through 6 innings of Game 2. Lost first one 5-1 and losing 2nd game 5-0.
Was a great night at the ballpark
Perfect day/night for baseball at PNC Park. Nice to see Delwyn Young continuing to do well.
Indians-Cards trade
DeRosa to Cardinals for P Chris Perez and a PTBNL.
Now seventeen through seven innings.
Gorzo struck out twelve in five last night against the same team.
