If there's one team that you might logically see the L-R-L-R thing against is the Pirates.
They have 3 lefties in the bullpen and 2 are quite good, seasoned LOOGY's.
And it's why EE should be batting second.
Hamilton gets on base!
592!

a day late
This lineup would have won one of the games yesterday.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
3-1 pitch at Dunn's ankle was called strike two.
Case in point why Phillips ahead off Dunn isn't a good idea. Phillips needs to be the one moving Dunn around the bases, not the other way around.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Though it's unlikely that Harang will give up 3 runs in this game, even against this really, really sizzling Pirates lineup. He's really been on a roll for 3 months now.

I hope Harang also gets that low pitch called strikes.
I love watching Harang pitch.
