Peterson's out for some reason.

 

[nsacpi]

Baby Harang gonna be huge tonight

 

[MadduxFanII]

Terdoslavich activated, EY DFAed.

Huzzah!

 

[Julio3000]

Niiiice

 

[Enscheff]

Odd timing to sit Peterson...after a day off and vs a RHed pitcher. He must be sick or something.

"Jace Peterson has been dealing with some left hand discomfort for the past 2 weeks. X-rays were negative yesterday. Hopes to play tomorrow."

I would've plopped Terd right in there this afternoon.

Fredi says Peterson will sit again tomorrow. Uribe will play 2B and Johnson will be at 3B

Mark Bowman ‏@mlbbowman 2h2 hours ago
Jace Peterson received a cortisone injection yesterday. That is the primary reason he will not play again tomorrow.

The OF defense would really stink

The OF defense would really stink

But it's nice to let the kid get a chance to make a splash in his season debut.

 

[MadduxFanII]

"Eric Young, Jr: Starting Center Fielder and Lead-Off Hitter" was such a weird, obviously bad idea that I think we should all agree to move on and pretend it never happened.

I would've plopped Terd right in there this afternoon.

Me too. He provides a little more pop than Cunningham. If Gomes can play vs RHP Terdo can play vs LHP.

Use Todd as a late game defender.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Uribe at 2b? What?

 

[jpx7]

Maybin making things happen early.

 

[jpx7]

Pirates really respecting Markakis' grass-behind-second power.

 

[jpx7]

SVOD Mark-1 reference on the telecast.

I plopped one a little while ago, does that work?

 

[cajunrevenge]

Good to see the team get off to a hot start after that morale busting Arizona series.

 

[jpx7]

Uribe has a bit of the Clay Davis look about the face.
