Buccos @ Astros 07/27/12
« on: July 27, 2012, 03:05:52 pm »
Your lineups (note that Francisco is in RF instead of the Serbian Slugger, who's 0-4 against the rightie with two punchouts, while Francisco is 2-4 against Karstens--on our batting order, which changes daily, I can't explain it-it just happens):

Pirates

LFStarling Marte
RFAlex Presley
CFAndrew McCutchen
1BGarrett Jones
2BNeil Walker
3BPedro Alvarez
CMike McKenry
SSClint Barmes
PJeff Karstens

Astros

2B Jose Altuve 
SS Marwin Gonzalez 
3B Chris Johnson 
1B Scott Moore 
LF J.D. Martinez 
CF Justin Maxwell 
RF Ben Francisco 
C Chris Snyder 
P Jordan Lyles

As you can see from our batting order, it's like the proverbial rearranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Precisely. I hope that they DFA him. He's just taking up a spot on the bench right now. His only value is as a pinch runner (which we rarely use) or defensive replacement, but we have Bogusevic (at least for now) for that.

Tell you what, I'll ruminate over that and other things while I am perambulating around this evening.

Meantime, I am depending on a descriptive and entertaining GZ and recap so I can figure out what the fuck happened and didn't happen in the game tonight, later on.

I know you guys will provide.

I always liked Mike Scott because my out pitch also was the forkball/split finger baseball (there's supposedly a difference between the two, but I'm not convinced of that).

Meanwhile, back at the ballgame. We've got runners on the corners with nobody out. Until Snyder takes a fucking ugly hack to strike out.

55 hours, Sphinx? That's a lot. Meanwhile, Maxwell eludes the catcher to score another run.

karstens' hammer is slow and pretty, striking out JD and Maxwell. 3-0 Top 4-second time through the order-let's see how the approach changes for Lyles.

I've always felt Dave Raymond would be more fun to hang out with but Bret Dolan is quite a bit better as a PBP guy. Neither have any business doing color.

Sorry, company arrived early. Yes, cedeno with 1 save leads all current Astros.

I wondered where you were with that. Meanwhile, Francisco goes deep, but they're reviewing it. Looked good to me.

I'm sure there is a term for it, like the opposite of synergy, but DoRay is far worse than DoLo or MiRay.

Karstens has given up two long balls on hooks. That 0-2 pitch was being greedy, and he paid for it.

Altuve's between pitch regimen is not unusual, but it is annoying to a pitcher, so you can't watch them.

Bases loaded with two outs to Downs, pinch hitting for FeRod. I can't watch, but I will.

Another failure with the bases juiced. What's our batting average now in those situations now? 130's?

This is kind of stupid, IMO.  If Lopez gets him out, then you have to move him to right after that to keep him in.

I really don't get all the praise for Mills' move.  You have six outs to go, and your best pitcher gets to pitch to one batter, and your second best pitcher gets to come in with bases loaded and one out.  Could one have minimized the use of their best pitchers any more than he did?

I don't think he ever realized that the move had to have Lopez move out to right after pitching to McCuchen; otherwise, it was a complete misuse of your best reliever.

I agree that Lopez is his best. Had I been managing, I'd have sunk or swam with Lopez alone for the remainder of the ballgame. Where Mills went wrong, and he'd done a good job juggling matchups and was pretty successful up til the ninth, was bringing in a pitcher with no command. Had I been in that situation, with Lopez already burned, I'd have gone with Cedeno. But if wishes were horses, then beggars could ride...
