Thanks for putting this up Bobster. I sure as heck hope that Craig can be of use as more than a filler. We need to know if he can play every day.

This doubleheader should go really well.

What could go wrong?

If I tried to bat in a major league game, I would be up there with no clue what I was doing, flailing away, bailing out, missing balls by two feet, reaching, and swinging at balls outside and in the dirt.

In other words, I would look EXACTLY like Josh Bell.

What a difference in lineups.

The Pirates lineup, of course, is futile, feeble and hopeless from top to bottom.

Meanwhile, the 6-7-8 hitters in the Cards' lineup will TORCH the Pirates. (Molina, Fowler, Carpenter).

Pirates lead 1-0 middle 5 ... but the Cards' win probability is 100%.

Pirates hit 4 balls to the outfield wall. Warning track power.

Molina decides to hit one OVER the fence. Novel idea.

Now tied 1-1.

We keep reading about trade rumors for Kuhl, but I will be disappointed if he is traded. He appears healthy after this TJ surgery. He would be one of my untouchable players.

Top of 7th and Osuna just popped up on a 85MPH hanger down the middle. Fouled off another hanger 2 pitches before that. This really is a AAA team. I watched 7 innings of a guy that tops out at 91 , baffle them without even having good stuff. He made mistake after mistake and this ridiculous team mustered all of 1 unearned run. Just watched Craig pop up another hanger by Gallegos. Got in the seats foul , Gallegos just hung another one and Craig hit it to the warning track. WOW ... all the way to the warning track. Go Pirates ....
