Pitchers who intentionally throw at batters are weak humans.

Jameson Taillon to make his MLB debut today for the Pirates. Hopefully this is the beginning of a good career, as he was one of the overall top prospects in the minors when drafted, but was hurt a bit in that regard by a couple years of inactivity due to TJ surgery followed by some sort of hernia right after he got back from that. He was pretty dominating in AAA and the team's pitching definitely could use an upgrade.

Somehow I'm still in first place in fantasy even with Stanton's horrible performance this year (we are a point league, average and ERA don't matter).

Pirates broke a 5-game losing streak by beating the Giants 1-0.
Jeff Locke (who had gotten utterly shelled in his last couple starts to the "why the hell is he still in the rotation" level) beat Madison Bumgarner. Erik Kratz, who was something shitty as hell like 2-for-44 at the plate between two teams this year, accounted for all the scoring with a solo home run.
One of the more bizarre games of the season, all things considered.

And Pagan robbed the only run well over the LF fence but fence busted him and jarred ball loose for a HR and the only runHeretic;1801008 wrote:Pirates broke a 5-game losing streak by beating the Giants 1-0.

Saw your Bucco's DFA'd local kid Cory Luebke a few days ago. He was really excited to be there and Was really hoping he would flourish there.Heretic;1801008 wrote:Pirates broke a 5-game losing streak by beating the Giants 1-0.

Coming back from two TJ surgeries is tough, and when he missed time with a bad hammy in ST that really screwed him. He needed those innings.
HOpe he lands on his feet. Great kid.

Yeah, he was a star in spring training, but he just didn't have it in the regular season. 9/11 K-to-BB ratio and a 9+ ERA is bad...even compared to the rest of the bullpen.thavoice;1801015 wrote:Saw your Bucco's DFA'd local kid Cory Luebke a few days ago.

He didn't get enough work in the spring with his injury. Was hoping his last stint in the minors was going to fix him as he wasn't walking anyone down there.Heretic;1801032 wrote:Yeah, he was a star in spring training, but he just didn't have it in the regular season. 9/11 K-to-BB ratio and a 9+ ERA is bad...even compared to the rest of the bullpen.
Coached him one summer between his frosh-soph seasons. After the first practice/bullpen session called a local scout and he just chuckled.....they already had him on their radar...BUt I digress.
Guess they have about another week to decide what to do with him and if he will accept heading to the minors

Hopefully he does, as he did do really well at Indy. I'm guessing part of his problem is mental and he's trying to be too fine with his pitches at the MLB level because his K/BB ratio at Indy was something like 29/3, which is a far cry from 9/11. I mean, yeah, when you're going against MiLB lifers and young prospects, there's not the same plate discipline, but that disparity to me seems to indicate he's nibbling too much.thavoice;1801033 wrote:He didn't get enough work in the spring with his injury.

Just needed more innings this ST after being off for two years. Had that major league roster guarantee in his contract out of ST or he could become a free agent sounded like a good deal but in reality may have bit him as they had to take him along instead of getting more innings to refine.

Marlins Braves this sunday in a stadium that MLB built on Ft Bragg. A place like Bragg can use something "cool" like that but wouldn't surprise me if somehow the army messes this up for the soldiers!!
Just hope they do the upkeep.
