Pirates at Rockies Overflow Thread August 11th

The Pirates' offense has shown some life today. The Rockies have looked awful defensively. Chacin's debut for the Rockies didn't go too well. Ohlie has pitched well today. Hope the bullpen doesn't blow it again. Need filler, so what does everyone think will become of Daniel McCutchen? Could be a number four or five but doesn't look like he is going to get a chance with Hart, Maholm, Duke, Ohlie, Morton, Lincoln and Alderson.

Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock

Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???

Great job Ohlie
Good game.

Alright
6 solid innings from Ohlendorf. Now time for the pen

Ascanio I believe

It was that game the bullpen gave up the lead
;)

I guess
Ohlie isn’t done…and why is he drag bunting?

Still kind of weird seeing someone else in # 13
though I did pick up a Nate t-shirt for $7 on skyblast saturday
JR...
playing with dynamite again. Obviously displeased with the bullpen performance recently. What’s the over/under on Ohlie’s pitch count?? I figure he goes 120.
I'd keep him in
If he walks lead off hitter pull him

What's the dynamite?
Ohlendorf or the bullpen?
Ohlendorf is a firecracker compared to the bullpen lately

In this case...
both. We know the bullpen is…Ohlie had only gone above 100 pitches 3 times before tonight. One was his last start.
Ascanio in

I thought he pitched pretty well against St Louis on Friday. Did he get in Saturday or Sunday? I had the games on but wasn’t fully paying attention.

Was at the game friday
Boy that place went nuts when he fanned Pujols.

Pretty sure I won’t share your train of thought. I’ve been a fan for about half that. seeing how I’m only 20 that’s pretty good. Not a good fan if thats your line of thought

Your not cut out to have a job then

Lot more than you imagine I do.
You don’t appreciate limits. Worlds full of them. I, personally, don’t appreciate people like you. So i voiced my disapproval. Just because I haven’t been around longer than you doesn’t mean I can’t say something about a statement made.

Ha +1

I'm confused...
this is 2 games in a row that JR has let the pitcher bat in an inning…then pulled him in the next inning after the first runner reaches. May as well just PH…try and get a run and switch pitchers at the beginning of the inning instead.
I'm assuming Ascanio wasn't ready?
Dorante signaled during the first batter

Quick hook for Ascanio

Barely. I'da kept Ascanio in.
Kid does have nasty stuff
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
Ditto. JR seems skittish about the bullpen…I can’t really blame him, but Asciano’s stuff looked pretty good to me there.

Chavez
does the job. No need for a lefty
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
Well...
if we can hold them to a run an inning…the Rockies will run out of innings before we run out of runs.
Great start!

He wasn't back Sunday was he?
I don’t remember seeing him. I was the series all weekend

I remember
the announcers saying he was back on either Sat. or Sunday.

He got back saturday night
and joined the team sunday
Cutch
3rd stolen base

This has to be scary for other teams
If he continues to take off, he will add a great weapon to this team

You don't
want to disagree with Earl Weaver. He gets angry

I can't believe they took the bat out of Cedeno's hand there?
partial sarcasm, still trying to figure out how partial….
He's over .300 with us isn't he?

If you'da told me that Meek would be our best performing reliever at any point of the seasson
when it started, i’dve questioned your sanity. Now it seems the truth

Well
that sucks…the return of Steven Jackson is soon.

I wasn't paying attention
I looked down and then the next thing I know is he was walking to the dugout
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
I blame it
on not having a lefty in the pen!
Nyjer
would have made Meek feel all better inside and not be injured. Then the Pirates would win the pennant.
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
From MLBTR:
“How about this stat, from Tracee Hamilton of the Washington Post: The Nats were 21st in the majors in runs before Nyjer Morgan’s arrival. Since trading for him, they’re third.”
Nyjer willed Josh Willingham into hitting all those home runs with his leadership and enthusiasm. He’s a miracle worker!
there is a runs stat
on fangraphs I believe. I may have to look up how many runs Nyjer has been responsible for
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
it could be...
that the guy he replaced was a retarded monkey fish frog and the difference was THAT astounding…

No kidding!
First 10 game winner for the Bucs. Wow.
Is it bad our no 4 pitcher has 10?
Not something I expected at all
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
well...
it’s good and bad I guess.
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
purely looking at Ohlie
and not in context of his position in the rotation etc, he could well have had 12 by now (has pitched well enough for maybe 14-15 without run support, but I guess even with a good team, you wont always get run support)…
its promising. I m a little worried about the fact that he’s going past 100 in his outings, and I hope he gets some rest, and that they are extra careful with him this point on- he’s pitched all season, and we want him healthy next season!

Wins
are kind of a hollow stat though. Jamie Moyer has ten i think and he just got demoted to the bullpen.
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
mainly meant bad being that the top 3 don't
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
well
maholm had been v unlucky with run support in the early part of the season… after that, whenever he got runs, he blew them… when he didn’t, he turned in a quality outing!
we never really had a #2!

Game MVP?
Cutch – 3BB 3R 3SB’s 1-3 2B
If Milledge and Laroche ever turn things around I think we have a pretty solid lineup. Platoon Jones and Pearce at 1B next year and bring in a legit RF and it looks even better.
In due time
Tabata
