4/6 - at Pittsburgh


Recommended Posts

Nothing in the rulebook says you can't give the center fielder an error to keep the no-hitter alive.

If Michael Wacha had lasted just one more inning last Monday night, this would be the sixth straight quality start by an opponent against the Orioles.

Speaking of Paul Skenes, I won't how fast the Pirates will promote him through their system.

The guy was pumping 100mph and overmatching AAA hitters. Clearly too advanced, trying to manage workloads is fools errand, all pitchers break — see Strider, Cole, Strasburg. The break point is random but they all break so why not use bullets in MLB?

Gunnar is in the lineup. 
 

We were 10th in the league in OPS against lefties last year. 
 

The nonsense that we can’t hit lefties is just that — nonsense. 
 

We’ve looked bad early on but it’s a SSS. 

You don’t have to believe me but it will be an issue with this team. When we’re playing Mcann, Mateo, Hays, and Urias instead of Ohearn, Cowser, Holliday, it’ll be a problem

He's in AAA, right?  If the Pirates are in the division race, you would think the Pirates would consider a second half promotion.  From what I've seen, the Pirates look primed to dominate the division for the next few years.

They aren't saving bullets they are stretching him out to start.

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
