    Acuna
    Ablies
    Freddie
    Markakis
    Suzuki
    Camargo
    Inciarte
    Culberson

    Gonna be a tough matchup going against Stripling, though he's been a little more human lately.

    Still have no idea how Stripling is doing what he's doing. He has no track record of pitching like he has this year and his stuff isn't that great.

    Some of us were critical of Snit last night for burning Venters in a situation where we were out of the game.

    There is a bit of a silver lining in that we have a lefty starting and the Dodgers lineup will be righty heavy again. This means that in the middle innings we are more likely to need a situational righty than a situational lefty. Carle is available. Biddle-of-the-reverse-splits is available. If necessary Snit can try to get two innings out of one of them. Winkler only threw 16 pitches last night and should be available to pitch the 8th.

    So there is a good chance that the mistake of bringing in Venters last night won't cost us today. It was still a mistake and it still could cost us given there will still be a couple guys in the lineup that it would be better to have Venters pitch to if a high leverage situation arises in the middle innings. But with a little luck it won't.

    Like I said yesterday, I peaked at Brooks version of Pitch/FX and unless it needed adjustments overnight, what Fried was throwing at was not a lie. I guess I'll check again.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I thought that ball was going farther. Acuna smoked it but zero carry.

    So so far we have....

    A. Ronald missing on a hanging breaking ball.
    B. Albies passing up on a pitch he can hammer.

    I think our guys are pressing.

    I missed the beginning of the broadcast. Did Chip or Joe mention anything about the hot topic of last night?

    Is there anyone in the league that swings at more pitches out of the zone than Albies?

    He was angry once he passed up on pitch 1, a meaty pitch he can hammer.

    A hit with a runner in scoring position? Dare I believe my eyes?

    For the first time in 7 games against Kemp, they are finally taking advantage of his slowness out there.
