You know the drill.... 9/3: Edgar Gonzalez vs. Jeff Locke, in progress 9/4: Jordan Lyles vs. Wandy Rodriguez, 6:05 on FSHouston 9/5: Fernando Abad vs. Kevin Correia, 6:05 on FSHouston Would you look at that, Brett Wallace sent one out... against a lefty.
Very nice game by Wallace and the pitching staff today. Edgar Gonzalez's first win in the majors since 2006. Wallace went 3-4 w/ a 3 run hr (against a lefty) and made a fantastic diving play for the 1st out in the ninth, preventing a likely leadoff double.
Wallace did all of that yesterday vs. left handed pitching...something Mills said he couldn't hit. He refused to play him vs. lefties at all.
Like I tweeted to AstrosCounty earlier this year, Brad Mills would sit Barry Bonds against J.A. Happ. In the minors this year, he hit .354/.404/.636 against lefties in 104PAs. Only 17 strikeouts.
Fernando Martinez scratched with an inner thigh boil. What a p***y reason to not play baseball. They do hurt like a mofo though.
Like Troy Tulowitzki, Tyler Greene is big for a SS. The only minor difference between the two is that Tulowitzki can actually play the position.
I know I should've shown some thicker skin, but that piece of "journalism" is probably on par with the "People Still Follow This Team?" thread.
Lulz, the Pirates have lost 6 straight, are only 2 games above .500 and only a half game ahead of the Brewers for 3rd in the division.
