The Pirates Retro lineup for today:

Pittsburgh Pirates
Stennett 2b
Oliver cf
Clemente rf
Stargell lf

Hebner 3b
Sanguillen c
Robertson 1b
Alley ss
Blass p


This was the Pirate lineup from 2nd MLB game I ever attended. It was May 6, 1972. Unfortunately the Reds were blassted (pun intended) that day 8-1. Joe Morgan hit a solo HR for the Reds only run. I was fortunate enough to see Pedro Borbon get one of his four starts in his MLB career that. It didn't go well.

With this lineup and the starting pitching they have gotten, how is this team not at least 10 games over .500?

If a trade for Roark was pending, no way would he pitch tonight. Risk of injury which would mess up the trade.

So any deal is still uncertain, perhaps to be finalized on deadline day.

I'd push Roark back a day. Partly to avoid the injury possibility, and maybe to generate additional buzz.

#Pirates announce they have suspended bullpen coach Euclides Rojas for two games due to "violation of his contract."

Rojas will miss the games tonight and tomorrow.

Last week they suspended Keone Kela for some violation of his contract.

To review ... since the All-Star break, the #Pirates have:

I really don't think there was much of a downside. Pretty easy to attribute a bad performance to trade rumors and uncertainty over whether he'd even start the game. Meanwhile, a dominating performance may have gave a contending team a little kick in the right direction.

Starting him tonight is probably worthy of second guessing. Believing it insane that he's still on the team is over the top. One of the comments and observations I've seen made over and over is thus far it's a buyer's market more than a seller's. Teams thus far haven't given up all that much in the moves that have been made. A team isn't going to give up a lot for a bottom of the rotation starter who is a rental to begin with. So if they're supposed to have traded him by now "just because", I guess they could have done that. But when the magic beans they get back don't grow anything worth harvesting it becomes hard to complain about it at that point.

So, if the Reds are trying to market Roark, why start him against the Pirates, who can stack their lineup with left handed hitters.
They had a graphic on the TV that said that LH hitters have over a 400 OBP going into the game tonight.
Worst of any pitcher in the league. They also said Roark gives up the highest OPS vs Lefties.
