We continue to draw big guns in the pitching deparment with Roy Halladay on the mound. Halladay is the perfect example of why the Pirates can't just go out and get some starting pitching. He's making $20 million per year. No way we can afford to pay that much to just one person. Lineups:
- Jimmy Rollins SS
- Plácido Polanco 3B
- Chase Utley 2B
- Ryan Howard 1B
- Jayson Werth DH
- Ben Francisco LF
- John Mayberry Jr. CF
- Ross Gload RF
- Carlos Ruiz C
Pitching: Roy Halladay
Pirates
- Andrew McCutchen CF
- Akinori Iwamura DH
- Garrett Jones RF
- Ryan Doumit C
- Lastings Milledge RF
- Jeff Clement 1B
- Andy LaRoche 3B
- Delwyn Young 2B
- Ramón Vázquez SS
Pitching: Zach Duke, Evan Meek, Jeremy Powell, Javier López, Jack Taschner

Did he like, trip over the pitchers mound or something?
Do we know what happened?
by pittbluedevil on Mar 15, 2010 1:45 PM EDT up reply actions
apparently
he was running under a popup, I don’t think they are entirely sure what happened either. He ended up on the side of the mound though, they say.

“injured his right angle, it looked as though he stepped awkwardly on the mound”

polanco appears injured
lets trade vazquez right there! he can switch uniforms and take 3B instead of the AB
Duke
walks Utley again. I could have done without that.
Jason

Ruiz singles. Rollins rides one to the warning track in RF, one down.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Ransom
chops to LaRoche, fielders choice get Ruiz.
Jason

Meek called for a balk
apparently he’s not sure what he did to get it called.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Valdez
lines to left, Milledge dives but misses. 2-1 Phillies.
They’re talking about the Howard/Pujols “trade rumor”. Yeah, I would trade Howard for Pujols too. Of course, it’s not going to happen.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
i m not so sure
of course, it wont be howard for pujols straight up, but if Philly’s willing to give up a good bit aside from howard… it could well happen
The idea is that if the Cards can’t extend Pujols, they could entertain the trade if they could get a deal done with Howard. I have to think that the Cards will find the money to keep him though. It will probably take ARod money to do it. Can they put $30M to one player? Seems like they might have to do one of those contracts where they spread the money out over years after he’s done playing. It would probably be worth it to have one of the best players ever to be in that uni his whole career.

yeah
a trade could happen if they don’t extend him. I honestly don’t think that’s going to happen though. I guess in these economics, however…

Howard
beats the shift, 3-1 Phillies. Jaramillo can’t get the pinch runner, who steals second.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I thought they subbed him
after the Howard hit but I must have missed who

LaRoche grounds out, two down. Polanco injury is now called a “strained right knee”.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Scrappy
takes a walk. Vázquez called strike three. Pirates offense in full retreat. End of the fifth, 4-1 Phillies.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Guess it was all Meek
At least he didn’t walk anyone. I’ll take getting hit around a bit right now if you don’t walk anyone. Mayberry grounds to LaRoche. Gload pops to Young.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
MLB.com boxscore now showing Jeremy Powell on the mound for us…
Anyone know anything about this guy? Apparently he’s been in Japan for the last 8 seasons?
When/why did we pick him up?
by pittbluedevil on Mar 15, 2010 2:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Ruiz walks
Clement fields a grounder and on to Powell for the putout. Quick inning but a walk to the nine hole that probably wasn’t necessary.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
yep
still 4-1 Phillies. Cutch still in.
Jason

base hit Cutch
Bocock just eats it
Jason
The Hanging Curve
there goes the offense again
Iwamura GIDP
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Jones
makes it three up three down. Offense sounds like it is low on iron or something. Heading to the seventh.
Neil Walker at third, Chase D’arnaud at short, Doug Bernier at 2B, Pearce at first, Tábata in left, Raynor in center, Moss in right. Powell still pitching, Jaramillo presumably still behind the plate.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Ransom
HR, “very much windblown”. 5-1 Phillies.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
three quick outs
I think Walker fielded them all including tough in-between hop they say. Heading to bottom of the seventh, Jaramillo, Tábata, Pearce due up assuming all substitutions were straight up.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Jarmillo grounds out to second
Tábata chops out to third. Pearce flies out to center. These guys must have an early engagement this evening.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
López pitching
nice grounder fielded by Walker, that’s four assists in a row to Walker. Mayberry called out on strikes.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Gload
grounds out to Bernier. Heading to bottom of eight, Walker, Bernier, d’Arnaud due up.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Walker called out on strikes
Bernier out. D’Arnaud grounds out, end of the eighth.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Taschner in to pitch
I’m out though, good afternoon all
