Fernando in center. This should be interesting.

Tatis still 4th, geez
If Wright gets on first, look for the immediate steal, or the hit and run. At least I hope.
Another day off for Sheff, too.
Also, what’s up with no Schneid again? Low ball hitter vs. low ball pitcher, I like that matchup (at least, as much as you can like any Scheid matchup).

Jerry Plays the hot hand
at least when that hot hand is Santos. Haven’t seen him do it for any other player.
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran

Except
Santos hit a HR on the 13th and was 2-for-5 w/3 RBI. Then he didn’t play again til the 18th. I don’t think there’s any rhyme or reason to Jerry’s lineups. He picks the team out of a hat.
by Zwill on Jun 23, 2009 6:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But Schneid is Hot too, and with power
Isn’t 2 HRs, 5 RBIs in 2 straight starts kind of hot? It’s a Good problem I guess. But I still miss Castro.
by David G on Jun 23, 2009 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes my point exactly
Schneider looked good his last few outings and now he’s back on the bench. No rhyme/reason.
by Zwill on Jun 23, 2009 7:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
the hot guy
Jerry loves to play whoever is hot. Santos is batting .414 in the last 2 weeks and he’s coming off a 4 hit game, so that’d be my guess.
Same lineup as last night excluding Fernando and they got 14 hits.
I have no issues with it tonight.

If Wright gets on first . . .
With anything less than three outs, shout out to centerpede, look for Tatis to immediately inexplicably bunt.
by Delgado on Jun 23, 2009 6:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The only thing I can think is that maybe
Sheff was in the lineup and Jerry had to change it and didnt want to move everyone else around.

Can't Church play CF?
Or are we worried that he could potentially collide with 2nd, short, left and right? Maybe he should stay in RF.

Livan turned to throw it to 3rd, but he realized that Pineiro wasn’t going from 2nd. He had to go to first, but it was too late.

But Castillo did have surgery before the season and I’m assuming he wasn’t able to workout with scooped knees so he got fat and couldn’t get into shape in time especially since he kept on hurting himself.

Wright has 16 PAs in which he has seen an 0-2 count
In those 16 PAs, he has made 16 outs, 13 by strikeout.
This is absurdly awful for a hitter with his approach.
I would actually suspect that Wright has junked the ’roids, except that he was a similar hitter in 2005, before LoDuca was on the team.

I was just wondering, cause it seems like numbers should be fairly low after an 0-2 count. Bur OPS + certainly shows he’s been bellow average so far. Did you, by chance, check his career #s?

Amazingly, David Wright is a .675 OPS hitter after an 0-2 count
There is no sOPS for career stats, but that means that if Wright spots the pitcher 2 strikes, he’s comparable to Luis Castillo.
His best year in this regard was 2006, where after an 0-2 count, Wright batted .310/.330/.530 for an unholy 247 sOPS

He's the worst manager to have when times are down
Because he’ll actively try to ingratiate himself in the game when it’s not needed.

I mean, a hit and run with Livan?
Livan can swing the bat a little bit, but it was 1-0 Cards with no outs and Castillo on first. Just about the best possible time to bunt.

He's a piece of shit manager.
There’s really nothing else you can say.
Schneider is a left handed hitter — ideal against a right handed sinker baller — who has the HOT HAND and doesn’t play.
Tatis batting clean up even though he’s been cold for weeks.
Evans up here for window dressing despite the fact that he’s gone deep more times this season than everyone on the active roster not named Sheffield and Fernando Martinez.

On a slight delay, but
Wow a Tatis DP. I want him hit and running from now on, regardless of score, it’s unreal. He really should have effin’ bunted. So angry I’m going to fast forward through this malarkey and catch up. Has Kalil Green set the record for putouts in 1 game?

and that’s what a sinkerballer needs; for guys to HAVE to swing at that low pitch.

I'm surprised that's only our 3rd shutout of the year
meh. when a guy is on his game like that i don’t know that we beat piniero even at full strength with the control he had tonight. as steve stone once said, “if I’m spotting my pitches the batter is irrelevant.”
i think the “true” output even for this crappy lineup is somewhere between last night’s 4 for 4 from santos and the collective vomit-fest that was tonight. the shame is wasting a reasonably good outing for Livan.
