Mr. Crumbs Paper Bag Plays Monday 6/8/09

That is a great line for TB, Sonnanstine good v. NY. Randy has owned the Marlins, but can I go with a 45 year old on three days rest?

sonnanstine is 2-1 against the yanks with an era of 5.00 pettite is 15-4 against the rays with an era of 3.85 but good luck to you if your on the rays

[macadams]

ATL 2 units @ 1.76 - Atlanta has good numbers against Duke and PIT haven't seen Kawakami. That should be enough to letting it be the bullpens deciding, ATL with an edge there in my estimation. PIT not very good away from home. Also thinking post trade spark and some carry over from last night for ATL.

Different ways to skin a pitcher, I guess, Sonnanstine has faced the Yanks twice this year, below is his combined pitching line for those two starts:


12.1 IP
10 H
4R
4ER
1 BB
7 SO
1 HR
2.92 ERA
.217 AVG
.234 OBP
.370 SLUGG
.604 OPS

Sorry, bad paste on that first post, edited it though. BTW, this game is a stayaway for me, but you have to say sonnanstine has been good v. NY this year, which is what I should have said

Pirates Bullpen Last 3: 1.41 WHIP 3.97 ERA

Atlanta Bullpen Last 3: 1.73 WHIP 5.54 ERA

The Braves are terrible at home, while the Pirates are nothing to call home to mom about on the road. Should be a good game. GL mac

Those numbers are 4.04 ERA PIT vs. 3.59 for ATL and WHIP 1.54 for PIT vs. 1.42 for the Braves if you look at the season, when it comes to the bullpens I like me a larger sample size because so much can depend on the situation they're brought into on 3-5 game basis that sometimes it can obscure underlying qualities. While I do agree that for slugging and such it does make sense to go with the last 3-5 to see who's got the "hot" bats and so on. Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

[ram1502]

Who's to say what's right or wrong? But most people look at starting pitcher's Last 3 games ERA/WHIP. I don't know what's right or wrong. Regardless, good luck with your bets. I feel like we're beating a dead horse. It should be a good game.

[showtime2000]

Wouldn't the over in Arz/SD(7.5) be a play tonight? Garland has a ERA of over 7 in his last 3 and Peavy has an ERA of over 5 AND both teams went deep into their bullpens last night(18 inngs).

Going with,

Pit +128
Flor -135

GLA

[ram1502]

What are you thinking about the hockey game show? I'm thinking the Wings will close it out tonight in a slugfest. I don't know if I'm playing a side, but I'm definitely taking the Over 5.5.

[showtime2000]

Ram, game's tom. thinking wings too. As much as it cringes me! OVer looks like a good call too, both teams come out firing.

Showtime, I came to the thread to see if anybody else was liking this one.
Granted both of these guys can throw 9 inninngs tonight in a 3-1 game. But if either gets in trouble you would think that they are going to have to grit it out and take their lumps to save the pen.

Bullpens
Arizona 17 innings in last 3 games
San Diego 20 innings in last 3 games

[peterpan19]

...lets hope Florida can score a run in the first Inning and show the old man that he is really old....

[peterpan19]

LETS GO PIT

Squandered opportunity. McLouth just hit a solo shot now.

[Dexter]

allright...lets chip away texas

[cocknocker]

Oh no...here comes Gorzelanny...

[melincrea]

Oh no...here comes Gorzelanny...

I am not liking this one bit at all.

[Dexter]

Aces wild in Florida tomorrow - carpenter vs johnson. a total of 7 runs. the under is too obvious which means stay away for me.

[Dexter]

the rangers have made casey jansen look like tom seaver.....in texas nonetheless

With that, I am cashing my Jays ticket! Just hope that Pittsburgh wins.. and for the later games, Arizona/Oakland both pull it off.

[cocknocker]

The Pirates are playing hard for the money. That's all that you can ask for.

[melincrea]

Jays ticket looking scary at this moment in time.

Go Pittsburgh!

Yep.. Was happy as Texas was getting plenty-o-hits, but scoring nothing.. now I am feeling symptoms of fear. Oh well.. a one unit game nonetheless.

Relieved, and first pitch.. lol. This is a joke now. Going to stop watching the game and grab a beer or something, good luck to all on Pittsburgh.

[Dexter]

nice call washington...squeeze play with ian kinsler on the deck. what a world class moron

[cocknocker]

That was a horrid call by Washington. And to think that he just got an extension too.....

[cocknocker]

C'mon Pirates...hang in there!

[jellobiafra]

Pirates had their shot in the 7th. At this point we'll be lucky to cash (did somebody page Captain Obvious?)

[shoebox]

hell yes DP!!

[cocknocker]

Pirates baby. No matter what, I ain't mad at them for the type of effort they are giving today!

[ram1502]

Damnit Pirates.

[cocknocker]

Out at home! Are you guys seeing this shit? The Pirates are playing their hearts out. We almost got that run on the double!

[jgbgsox]

nice pitching matchup tomorrow with carpenter and johnson

[jellobiafra]

Why does it seem like I'm always getting stuck on marathon games lately? Yesterday my only frigging play was CHC/CIN under and it goes 14 innings. Tonight I'm on the Pirates and A's. Pirates are going middle 12th as we speak. Unreal.

[jellobiafra]

Chipper's on deck. He'll hit a homer and end this thing.
