Pirate hitters are pathetic!

gangeriver · 08-13-11, 05:55 PM

even they can't hit against Estrada...Axman is coming, game over

DrStale · 08-13-11, 05:57 PM

Brewers are awesome

LockPickMaster · 08-13-11, 06:02 PM

Can these pathetic clowns score one run with a guy on third

Rich Boy · 08-13-11, 06:05 PM

ML was -170 after the triple

Now -1600

LordVodka · 08-13-11, 06:08 PM

Horrible and as much as I like McCutchen, he's not good, he just looks great among the horrible Pirates lineup.

They had a guy on third in the 9th and they can't get him home. This is sad. The franchise should just fold.

Pathetic

neverstoppers23 · 08-13-11, 06:11 PM

Why in the hell would you bet on the Pirates today? I don't get it, Brewers are great at home, and are playing their best ball of the year. Not only that they beat Pit 33/34 times at home, and the last time they face the Pit. SP they scored 6 runs off of him.

PaperTrail07 · 08-13-11, 06:11 PM

that was pretty bad----i mean a leadoff triple then nothing---not even a ball out of the infield---2 pitches 2 outs

Rich Boy · 08-13-11, 06:12 PM

Should have bunted

LordVodka · 08-13-11, 06:13 PM

I only bet 200 SBR points so it didn't matter.

notsosharp · 08-13-11, 06:13 PM

Wow.... can it get any worse? They lead off with a triple and can't score. They seriously have a minor league line up. Why not pinch hit with derek lee? He could hit a sac fly atleast.

neverstoppers23 · 08-13-11, 06:16 PM

Got to give credit to Axford right now, I don't think there is anyone better in the MLB then him. And you don't go for the tie at home, with your best power hitters. Maybe Ron Ron would for us, he loves the squeeze play but most managers never do it.

gangeriver · 08-13-11, 06:17 PM

estrada is the second worst pitcher in Brewers (first Parra) and if Estrada allows only one hit, pirates hitters are pathetic

Why bet on the pirates today???? maybe, because they are +157. Estrada was only suppose to be able to throw about 60 pitches today. Yes they are 2-34 against milwaukee. But their aweful hitting made estrada look like a cy young winner. The pirates were the play today.

I have been saying since last year, when he was a rookie...and develope himself...for example he has better curveballs this year

jeffdane · 08-13-11, 06:22 PM

lee is on the DL, thats why they didnt pinch hit with LEE, wow.

Yeah his curve ball is great this year, it was kind of ****** up to begin the year due to sloppy mechanics but his 97 mph fastball and that curve is wow.

Esp. when he throws that curve ball for his first pitch strike, that is almost unhittible.

I thought Correia was the better pitcher today.

Not really, considering Estarda was our starter early in the season so he was going to pitch around 4-5 innings. He was great for us as a starter, and besides a few games he has been a pretty good reliever.
And like I stated Brewers own the Pirates at home, and they have dominated Corriea once already at home, obviously that didn't happen today but it just makes no sense to put any money on them.

I think you were looking to hard to try to find a big splash,

neverstoppers23 · 08-13-11, 06:27 PM

Parra isn't even with the brewers, hes been on the DL all year.

The pirates, having lost 8 straight to the brewers this year (including a sweep IN pittsburg) and overall 34 of 36 to milwaukee facing a red hot milwaukee team were the play today

really brah?? U sound like you were dropped on your head as a child

.463 career slugging %. 44 hr's in his career.
nyger morgan is slg .456 this year, is he a power hitter.

mccutchen is a leadoff hitter.

I agree, his job was harder

You can't just look at slug. percentages, like that. Nyjer has faced a lot of righys only which helped those numbers also a lot of doubles.

McCuthcen can hit 25-30 hrs a year.

Yes, which brings me to my point. Even if they were +275 or whatever they were today why would you lay any money on them. If you go back and look at Estarda's staring jobs he did great in till his last start to face the braves, and well he is facing a bad offense.

Maybe I just don't understand why people bet on these types of games, where the brewers are clearly the favorite, have dominated the other team 95 percent of the time, are playing their best ball of the year but because the Pirates are big underdogs they bet on them? I know I am just a simplistic person but there is a reason why they are huge underdogs.

jjgold · 08-13-11, 10:32 PM

This team buried me too

I still take them though , that 1st half of season might of been a fluke

Vin_vermillion · 08-13-11, 10:35 PM

I have tickets to watchthe lose to the reds next Friday night. But hey, there will be music and I get a free t shirt upon admission - so that's what is really important.
