Pirates at Orioles
Pirates Lineup:
- Iwamura 2B
- Tabata LF
- Jones RF
- Doumit C
- Pearce 1B
- Moss DH
- Cedeno SS
- Walker 3B
- Raynor CF
Orioles Lineup
- Jones CF
- Andino SS
- Markakis RF
- Tejada 3B
- Weiters C
- Scott DH
- Atkins 1B
- Tucker LF
- Davis 2B
So that's where Garrett Atkins ended up. Zach Duke and Daniel McCutchen should be pitching two innings each, and Virgil Vasquez, Evan Meek, Javier Lopez and Jeremy Powell will also see the mound.
Should be interesting to see what Tabata and Jones do, as well as how Meek fares. I will assume that after VV pitches the game is out of reach.

Trivia Time
According to the just-published Bill James Gold Mine 2010, Duke had the lowest % of 20+ pitch innings in MLB last year.
Now back to the game.

I guess that would mean a high inning count for a season wouldn’t be quite as damaging a stat as it would be to a lot of pitchers.
Doubly so
Fewer total pitches, plus less stress, since current thinking seems to be that high-pitch innings are relatively more stressful even if the pitcher’s total pitch count stays the same.

Wonder if...
JR had that stat last September 28th?? Probably not. If Duke remains true to form…he should lead the team in complete games this year…about 3.
that's
three balls in the air in a row for Duke, giving the O’s a sac fly run.

Yeah. They have an online stream, but it looks like they’re playing the Fox News stuff on there rather than the game.
most likely something to do with their contract with the Pirates
my local AM station has contracts with the Blue Jackets, Reds and Bengals and you can’t listen to the games online

You have an iPhone?
The MLB audio app there is supposedly going to start carrying ST games soon, though they don’t have the stream working quite yet.
Cedeño
gets on via foobared popup, Walker…uh…walks. Raynor up with 2 on, no out.

Robert Andino
SS, played for the Marlins until last year when he played 78 games for Baltimore. He’ll be 26 in April.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
We nearly traded Bixler for him...
…in spring training last year, because Perry Hill loved him when they were both with the Marlins.
He’s also the likely-case scenario on what Argenis Diaz will grow up to be.
Doumit gets on
groundball single up the middle, but he’s stranded

Atkins doubles
apparently Tábata helped saved Scott from scoring with his fielding and throw.

Garret Jones bases loaded
Tábata, Raynor and Walker.

Yes, the exact same commercials and promos will run the entire season, many of which were played the entirety of last season. The Pirates radio stations have always had the absolute worst commercials.
Pearce
gets to second, but double off to end the inning.
That Pennsylvania lottery commercial might make me go insane this year.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
What is this, the third year they’ve been playing that? Fourth?
You’d think some of the money they’re making from that could go to making more, less severely annoying commercials.
money from the Pennsylvania lottery
goes to benefit EVERYONE by making a new commercial

Jonathan Tucker
26-year-old NRI (Stats). Utility type. Seems to like to run – stole 34 bases last year, and got caught 12 more times.
Brandon Jones
Not related to anything today, but does anyone know where Brandon Jones is right now? Shouldn’t he have come into a game at some point by now?
I was just thinking yesterday that I can’t remember him being mentioned once anywhere since ST started.
by WTM on Mar 5, 2010 9:05 PM EST up reply actions
Granted...
it’s only 3 games (well…2.78 games)…but offense does seem to be a little limited…10 hits in 25 innings.
Tony Sanchez
crushes a homer to straight center!
Jason
The Hanging Curve
A good sign...
it even came off a pitcher that has appeared in a Major League game, and not a minor league scrub. A little confidence boost doesn’t hurt.
Probably Got the Hit...
thanks to B. Moss’s leadership in the dugout. Given that Moss isn’t hitting, I’ve got to come up with something positive to say
a tie game may not be a good thing
With the inevitable appearence of Double-V

Aguero's not doing us much good right now anyway.
VV may just wind up providing icing on the cake for the O’s.
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89
Why can't Mendy bust a long TD run? We could use it.
Yeah, but at least this year
Vx2 is competing for a roster spot, not the 4th or 5th rotation spot. That is a step in the right direction for this team
hopefully...
the roster spot he is competing for is in Indianapolis and not Pittsburgh.
Walker has an IF hit and a SB today?
He’s getting that speedy utilityman mentality down.
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89
Why can't Mendy bust a long TD run? We could use it.
That is definitely a step in the right direction.
If he can keep this up he’ll end up in the Burg at some point this year.
so
that means VV will come in to “close”

Move Walker to pitcher for the 9th?
Can’t be any worse.

Double-V comes in the 9th for the save

If ONLY we had Matt Capps to save...
What was his line yesterday, you ask?
1.0 IP, 3 hits, 2 runs (both earned), 1K set off by 1 HR.
Uviedo
Did anyone hear my sigh of relief?
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

You’re all defense – but your defense seems to be lacking.
