Open Thread #137: Braves at Pirates

PrintPeople used to snicker and dismiss me, whenever I said that I dreaded the Marlins more than any other team in baseball. We're currently 8-6 against the Fish for the year, but the losses to them are almost always of the demoralizing, frustrating variety; whether we simply get blown out, or like yesterday, make a gallant comeback, only to have the dreaded error-bug strike in extras, and lose on a bonehead play. Nobody plays the Braves tougher and harder than the Florida Marlins do. Every team has that one team that does that to them. And watch, now that Logan Morrison was pretty much killed by Emilio Bonifacio's foul ball, it makes the squad that much more depleted when they take on the Phillies for four, not to mention the outcome of all the appealed suspensions that'll probably remove Gaby Sanchez from the equation too.
But anyway, enough about what others are doing, because the only thing that truly matters is that we've got three games with the Pittsburgh Pirates, in beautiful PNC Park. If you don't happen to be aware, PNC has a generous right field wall that is a little friendly to lefty pull hitters. Most of the lefties on the squad have had some good success at PNC, and I love seeing really small sample sizes sometimes, because Jason Heyward has a ridiculous 1.676 OPS in his eleven plate appearances at the 'Burgh. But the Bucs will be sending two lefties our way this series, with Burres and Duke, so we probably won't see as much of Hinske (1.079 OPS), Ankiel (1.007 OPS), and maybe even McLouth (.820 OPS), in favor of Melky Cabrera, probably.
Patience is the key with dealing with Burres, for the hitters, because he's not going to overpower anyone, and will give up a good share of walks. As for Tommy's concerns, he should really be careful with the top two guys, Andrew McCutchen, and rookie Jose Tabuta; I'm pretty sure if those two can be kept off the base, the games will a lot less stressful for Cyborg.

I hate day games at work.
I have to resort to the radio. Bleh. I also hate working on a National Holliday, but what are you gonna do.
Go Braves!!!!
I'm feeling..
an offensive show case today.
this is a MUST win today, with Philly having a double header against Florida.
Lineup according to AJC
1. Infante
2. Heyward
3. Prado
4. Lee
5. Diaz
6. Gonzalez
7. Ross
8. McLouth
9. Hanson
Besides that double yesterday
he’s been looking horrible at the plate.

I really think we should just give up on the Lee experiment.

The Marlins will not have their suspensions ruled upon until AFTER the Phillies series. Jim Powell said it on the radio yesterday.

Would you guys rather have:

Ankiel and Diaz
McLouth and Melky

Marlins strike first…1-0….probably a lot more scoring for both teams coming

I mostly tend to keep up with baseball in general, so I’m impressed that the Fish-Phils matchup has two starters of whom I’ve never heard.
Well it’s a doubleheader and both guys are career AAA guys, so yeah.

it's Hanson...always
he doesn’t go to the stretch. Runners get a HUGE lead. That forces a bad throw.
And we have to put Ross out there when he pitches because he has a stronger arm.

What I really want for Nate to do is to completely dissemble his swing and start over from scratch. His current swing allows him to drive balls that are belt-high and middle-in, but everything else will either result in a pop-up, or he’ll fail to make contact because his swing is slanty.

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia…
Marlins are making the Philly starter work, but are leaving guys on bases as they fail to come through. The Fish starter is manhandling the Philly lineup, meanwhile. 2-0 Florida, heading to the bottom of the 4th.
So in other words
the Marlins are copying us.
Atlanta Hawks=the team that drafted big $$$$$$$$$ instead of big men.
anybody worried about hanson?
as noted here, velocity a little off, Ks have vanished for the past month…. maybe its the innings, but counting AAA, he threw like 180 last year.
he throws so many sliders, i wouldn’t be shocked if he had an arm problem.
what?
he’s hitting 93 like he always has.
