Keppinger
reaches on error. Towles out. Pence four pitch walk. Blum Ks swinging.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
guess they scored it a hit
I just barely started up the audio and heard “and Clement can’t pull the ball out of the dirt” or something like that, so I’m not really sure what happened.

Nate McLouth Sr.
grounds out to LaRoche; Iwamura, McCutchen and Jones due up.
Speaking of Jones, where is Brandon Jones? I haven’t even heard mention of him for weeks, and I don’t recall him being cut.

Brandon had a knee issue at the start of camp. I think he got in a game or two last week and then I’m not sure what happened.

He looked like a boob on that triple play the other days. I’m sure that, coupled with the knee, is what got him sent down.
Free your ass and your mind will follow.

I’d clarify how it is I’m listening to it, yet have no idea where it is coming from

Jason
The Hanging Curve
McCutchen
pops up in foul ground but Shelton drops it, E3. Next pitch McCutchen triples to left center. Someone is ready for the season :)
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Garrett Jones
two run HR. Apparently barely missed Bob Walk’s car (or else they were joking about that). They were saying probably would have been a “regular” HR, but the wind pushed it to ridiculous status.
Doumit lines in a double now.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Milledge makes the last out
end of the second, 5-0 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
LaRoche
“excellent play” on a Towles groundout. Pence ground singles to left.

2 outs

Maholm
“slaps” a single into right. Chacin is chased out.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Iwamura
homers to right. 10-0 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Walk: Iwamura’s HR “was pretty legit”, Jones “probably would have made it over the wall”, the others “I don’t know”.

Jason

Astros score a run
Towles grounds into inning ending DP, 6-4-3. Milledge, Clement, LaRoche due up.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Milledge
singles to center.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Clement
drives it over Maysonet’s head in left, drives in Milledge. Walk: “that’s the kind of hit that is so impressive, the hitter stays in and stays compact and drives the ball with authority to the opposite field”
Jason
The Hanging Curve
11-1 Pirates
bottom of the fifth. Iwamura singles to right.
Jason

McCutchen reaches first
Iwamura safe at second on a Johnson throwing error on fielders choice
Jason

Doumit
doubles down the line in right. Iwamura scores, 12-1 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Dotel in
pitches a perfect sixth. 12-1 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Obviously
the players read Smizik’s article and realized the importance of spring statistics. Better pad your [meaningless] stats or Grumpy Old Bob will be calling for YOU to be fired!
LaRoche
Vazquez, Crosby go down in order. Crosby must feel bad being the only starter not to hit.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
surely
if the pitcher was hitting there, he would have gotten out each time and left the top of the lineup with no one on base
