Dodgers @ Pirates 6/14 - 6/16

[HammerDown]

The Dodgers fans don't post in series threads for some reason so I'll put this over here. It's one of the first games tonight and I'll be tuning in. The Dodgers will be minus some personnel after the donnybrook the other night.

Can Alvarez stay hot against the Dodgers?

Barny Fife vs. Locke says all for Game1 tonite.

Advantage Buccos. You're going to need to sweep cause the Cards are playing the Marlins.

Whole lotta ball to be played between now and September...

Cumpton gets the start on Saturday, I believe he will be the 14th diff starting pitcher used this year...... a 25 man roster move and a 40man needs to be made, looks like the end of the line for Zagurski.

In case anyone missed it, AJ to 15 day dl ,contreas was waived for Morton's roster spot.

Hurdle pulled Locke after 7 innings even though he had a two-hit shutout going and only threw 75 pitches. I guess he wants to give Melancon some work, but you really have to take advantage of a start like that.

 

[sychmd]

why is locke out after 75 pitches thru 7. let him go 8 and maybe even a complete game.
we are probably going to need some major pen tomorrow.
then cole on sunday is iffy about a need for pen.

i would save our pen if we can and locke seems to be doing great.
i hope there is a great reason for taking locke out so early.

Probably just wanted a pinch hitter.

Locke's numbers are crazy good.. A meh prospect hitting large doesnt happen to us very often.

 

[Darkstone42]

Grilli comes on with a three-run cushion to try to get the save.

 

[Darkstone42]

Back-to-back infield hits.

Last night, I counted six. Bad luck on the softly hit balls the past couple days.

 

[Darkstone42]

What a pitch to get the strikeout of Gonzalez. Wow.

 

[Darkstone42]

And the popup. One more to go.

 

[Darkstone42]

And yet another strikeout for Grilli!

Raise the Jolly Roger!

 

[HammerDown]

Got sidetracked and am missing the game!

 

[HammerDown]

And the Cardinals lost too.

I am pretty sure he was moved up a day to start today.
