Only 72 pitches right now

He just needs to calm down and not allow any more damage.

I hope he can go the distance!

Yeah,

that sh!t is Meek, Grabow & Veal getting hammered.
Maybe it’s a 1 time thing.
Maybe it’s Arizona.

I’d prefer not having to find out.

deep breaths, amigo…

anomalies are called that for a reason.

Maybe

but maybe it was Meek’s first-half to this season that was an anomaly?
And Veal… yeah, I’ll avoid that. Yesterday was anomaly for him.

Sorry

I would have no problem seeing the pen.

Understandable.

That’s the automatic reaction of a Pirates fan. Yay we have a nice lead!….. Now how will they blow it?

Going back to the last thread

Kovacevic confirmed not too long ago that Jones is under Pirates control for 6 years.

by biggyv on Jul 24, 2009 11:37 PM EDT reply actions  

so..

the typical contract. 3 years of league min. (even if you hit like Pujols or pitch like Cy Young) followed by 3 yrs of Arb.

Take the number of shots that fall in per game

then multiply by the number of games left until we get a new manager before 2011.

by UtesFan89 on Jul 24, 2009 11:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Then adjust the number for after/if/when...

Pearce loses his job again and either Moss or Miledge takes over RF.

I thought he’s been better… today, he was shaky all day… a couple of baserunning mistakes probably saved him 2 runs…

Meanwhile, a scout offered this about Brett Wallace: “He can hit but he throws like a girl. They acquired a DH — I think he might be Jack Cust Jr. with fewer Ks. (Outfielder Shane) Peterson is the hidden gem!”

Not a Milledge fan?

Or do you just like the fact that we’re competent in the outfield?

i just think Milledge needs more time to develop…he said so himself

Unless someone really falls off a cliff I don't know if he will get called up.

It's alright

let them build their trade value up. (All 3 of them.)
Trade one of them before next season, and trade another when Tabata is ready

He’s not on the 40 man roster…so it’s probably going to take a trade to get him called up.

maybe that clears a spot

Don’t believe Lerud was on the 40 man roster.

Plus to open a 40 man spot you have to go on the 60 day DL.

Moss definitely doesn't

that would be a Milledge, Jones, and Cutch outfield. DY at 2nd when/if Freddy gets traded

Feels sorry for the guy maybe

Your guess is as good as mine. JR prob just left in him tonight trying to get Chavez to pitch 2 innings here cuz the pitcher spot is due up next inning, but not anymore

A lot of Chavez's pitches in the red range

Me likey.

It also makes me wonder if our radar is a bit slow in Pittsburgh?

Since Lincecum

wasn’t hitting the red range and Maholm never hit 90, i would say yes

From upthread...

re…40 man roster. Bringing up Milledge isn’t an issue at present because the Pirates are only carrying 39 on the roster. Plus…they can put Yates on the 60 day if need be. Lerud still counts against the 40 man roster…even though he’s on the DL at Altoona. The only way not to count against the 40 man is to be on the 60 day DL.

by Thunder on Jul 25, 2009 12:25 AM EDT reply actions  

Considering yates

is done for the year…

Just checked

Lerud is on the 40 man roster.

A.Diaz is on the 40 man roster too, so he took Adam’s spot.

           used to be good? FSN just showed some highlights of his from last year with AZ.

Maybe those were his only good moments.

Wait

       can hit home runs? FSN showed him hitting one with the D-Backs against the Giants

There is no way Cutch was out there.

No way he was safe earlier.

I guess it all evens out on a long enough time line.

by IAPiratesFan on Jul 25, 2009 12:28 AM EDT up reply actions  

He was safe the first time. Pitcher stepped along side the bag. never got his foot on it.

by Brakeman8 on Jul 25, 2009 12:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

Oh.

There was one earlier that I thought someone got on base and they were clearly out.

by IAPiratesFan on Jul 25, 2009 12:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

Would this be a save for Chavez?

Barring a 7 run inning of course

No…lead is bigger than 3 runs.

by Brakeman8 on Jul 25, 2009 12:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

to get a save, it’s either end the game with a lead under 3 runs, or pitch 3+ innings with the lead

by Akshay R on Jul 25, 2009 12:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

This is his 3rd inning I think

no, he’d need 3 innings to get a save, and even if he gets 3 outs here he’d only have 2.

by Akshay R on Jul 25, 2009 12:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

ah

right…I was still thinking he came in when he got sent back
though that would still be one out short
