vs. PIRATES 6/14

[weams]

It's nice to see. This is where Tommy normally sits. He's struggled with his velocity this year, so maybe he's just rounding into form.

Well, you know he had the back issue and then a pulled muscle in his side.

[Floater]

Took that one like a boss

[Don Quixote]

It's a spit ball.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to weams again (you used it this thread, no less).

Pirates are an ideal opponent for Hunter, especially now he has a lead to work with. He pounds the strike zone, and Pittsburgh are not a great hitting team, so they may get some pitches to hit, but Pittsburgh's hitters just aren't very good in general and we're seeing a lot of quick outs due to him getting ahead in the count because he's a strike zone pounder.

At least that's my British assessment of things!

Doesn't "pounder" have a special meaning in cricket?

Pirates fan right behind home plate, right nex to an Oriole fan.

[Don Quixote]

Stupid warning track.

The "you suck" is clearly audible tonight.

Take a shower, Bedard.

[RavNMadMan]

Nice hands Eveland.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

Also, most people thought that other teams in the East would benefit from inter league. Nice to see the Red Sox, Rays, and Jays struggle a bit. (Although we may do the same when facing the gnats and Mets)

[OFFNY]

Stupid warning track.

Robbed Wieters of a ribbie. But, the run will still probably score with no outs.

[LA2]

It's a spit ball.

Seriously, right? I'm going to be watching Hunter for scruffing up the ball, going to a hidden smudge of grease, etc.

[Purple Oriole]

Bedard is quietly turning into my favorite player.

[LA2]

I thought Weiters had a home run. High fastball on the sweet spot of the bat.

Doug Slaten warmning up in the Pirates bullpen.

No relation to Jim Slaton.

[Don Quixote]

Smoked. That was close, too.
