D-Train De-Railed




I feel bad for Dontrelle Willis.
Legitimately bad.
He was a dominant pitcher early in his career and it looks like the Steve Blass disease may have come to his left arm.

That being said, we shoulda knocked his ass outta the game in the 1st inning.
Bob Walk almost murdered someone in the booth during Willis' outing with the Pirates lack of plate discipline.
His main targets being Delwyn Young, who went 3-4 once again proving he should be our everyday right fielder, and Robinson Diaz- who went a respectable 1-4 but drove in 3 runs and Jack Wilson. Walk at one point after a 1st pitch Jack Wilson pop up; grunted, and responded with an 'I mean this guy has played the game for 8 years... is he serious?'
Hinske drew 4 walks to lead the Pirates with a team season high 11 walks. wow
Cutch went 2-3 with 2 runs and 2 walks
Delwyn Young is hitting .358, with a .416 OBP 1 Home Run. 11 RBI's 81 At Bats
Brandon Moss is hitting .243 with a .293 OBP 1 Home Run. 14 RBI's 169 At Bats
Please please please tell me who you would rather have in Right Field everyday this year.
Nate McLouth of course.
With the team only being 4 games out of 1st place in the middle of June, that trade is getting more and more sketchy in my mind for the short term. I believe that it still is a good trade for the future and to build on the team, but if Nat McLouth was starting in right field, would we have a legitimate chance of winning the division???
Only time will tell.

Ohlendorf was great. 2 hits in 6 innings.
Steven Jackson was bad for the 1st time this year.
Burnett was of course great,--- Best pitcher in the history of baseball.
Grabow still sucks
Capps closed the deal.
