Dunn
Not surpsied to see the big man out of the lineup. He’s look lost against every breaking pitch he’s seen this series.
You build a home from the foundation up, not from the roof down.
If he played for the Pirates...
he’d only play about 50% of the games then. The Pirates tend to bench guys because they supposedly can’t hit a breaking ball.
Bucs 8-0
Maholm pitches a shutout, Milledge hits a HR.
I'm about 20 minutes north. It's raining.

Donnie Veal says...
In a pre-game interview that next season he will be looked at as a starter. The man can’t pitch 1 full inning and he’s going to start? Haha.

Saw a report earlier...
that Veal is slated to go to the Arizona Fall League…as a starting pitcher.
Well that will be....um.....interesting.

Not a bad list
Many what a difference from a year and a half ago. I’m not sure I wouldn’t have Locke on that list instead of Morris, being a lefty without the injury history. And of course, the short-term bias is one guy just threw a gem, while the other was suspended for behavior.

Well...we now know...
that “extended look” = 1 week, according to Pirates management.
must have been the 2-hit, 1 HR game
that got him sent to the doghouse. I certainly don’t mind Moss being treated fairly (even if he’s had plenty of opportunity so far), I just hope that Pearce isn’t once again sent to Siberia.
Kevin Hart
scheduled to pitch Thursday, according to DK

If I'm Pearce...
I’m probably wondering who I have to mug (actually thinking something else) to play every day.
Lol.
Very true. I know it’s his “natural position” but I wonder if maybe it’s the whole 5’ 10" 1st baseman thing?

Leadoff walks...

Test for Paul early
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
also
it breaks up any chance he has of building up momentum. If anything, he needs the confidence…. you’ve got clement in the system now, and he knows he needs to perform… not sure the pressure of fewer at bats is worth it
Nice play by :(edeno
DY taken out at 2nd…but might not have had a chance at 1st anyway
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
RBI groundout
1-0 Gnats

It’s overkill, but I think third was the correct play there.

Dibble just keeps ripping the Pirates
Last night he said “the Pirates are re-building, the Nats are building to win”. what the crap is that?
Last night
He kept talking about how similar Nyjer and Cutch are, despite the fact that cutch hit almost as many HR’s last night as Nyjer has in his career.
And that Cutch is 7 years younger
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
I pity that guy

We need Jack back...
…for his fielding and his power (and mature leadership). This Cedeno kid will never stick.
Cutch
just missed that…and he knew it

With two outs, it seems like a good spot to try and get in scoring position.

Now Dibble is criticizing Cutch for trying to hit HR's
“He’s a speed guy, power’s not his game”. He wants him to be Nyjer!
Is he a broadcaster
for the Pirates or Nats or something?

for one minor league pitcher most scouts don’t think will contribute in the majors…and paying the rest of his salary

he actually just tries to hit line drives and drives them every once in a while
effing go back to best damn
Got the lead runner at least

Jones made that interesting...

I thought it was funny earlier in the game when Dibble said he didn’t know why Bannester was throwing the Pirates’ “soft hitters” (aka McCutch) anything but fastballs.
Cutch hit a fastball 420 ft. for a line drive home run last night. Hahahaha. Dibble is a tool.
He keeps talking about how the Nats pitchers should
“go after the Pirates AAA hitters” You know the nats have such a great line up!
Willingham
CS
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
Did you guys see Ted Keith from SI.com says the Pirates are trade deadline losers?
You will be shocked to see he has a very stupid reason for naming us losers
That's the
Harold Reynolds argument. “I don’t get how you trade MLB guys and don’t get them back in return.”
He did soften his stance after the GMs talked with him though.
Mr Reynolds...It's because trades are made to improve the team at some point
and if a major leaguer would improve the team…he wouldn’t be traded because he is already better then the guy you are trading for…why can’t “experts” realize that?
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. -Lou Brock
I think experts do....
It’s the total D-Bags who don’t.

The media has been really polarized in regards to our trades. I think they have legitimate points that we may have received a lot of marginal prospects IF they’ve actually watched these guys play. The problem I have is that a lot of them jump to that conclusion without any facts or observations to base it on.
by thegreatchris on Aug 2, 2009 2:31 PM EDT up reply actions
That’s basically just a variation of the criticism that we’re not getting blue chippers back. That’s such a silly argument. None of the guys we had were worth a blue chipper.
I agree, but I think it can also be a valid criticism if the commentator feels that we’re not getting proper value for our players. For example I don’t agree with Keith Law much, but at least he mentioned that he thought Alderson had lost velocity and wasn’t a steal like we thought.

Now he’s ripping “the bad saxaphone player” on the Clemente bridge.

wasn’t trying to.
True story: Once, a band that I worked for / was friends with was playing at a club on Broadway street in Santa Monica (now defunct). As we were loading the gear into the van, the keyboard player’s roommate asked where we were playing that night. He was told the name of the club, on Broadway St.
He then asked, “How do you get to Broadway?”
The keyboard player turn to me and smiled the biggest shit-eating grin ever before turning back to his roomie and saying….

Please....
Man, I don’t want to get down on Doumit, but 0-last 12 and looking terrible behind the plate. 4 ground balls to second today. Reminding me of Adam LaR.
4 pitches, 2 outs

I'm gonna

This pitcher is struggling
