Kratz's AB's yesterday were so bad -- twice with the bases loaded he looked pathetic. It's nice to see a C that can put the ball in play at the very least.

Not too fast there dmetz. We can use Kratz in the bullpen to close when Melancon is unable to pitch like last nite! 8-)

Fryer can at least hit the ball. He will be very serviceable I feel until both Cervelli and Stewart are ready to come back. This would be another great win tonight if we can hang on the last 3 innings. A win would put us 9.5 behind the Cubs as well. If we could shave off two more games on the Cubs before that series this weekend with them here at PNC Park and maybe pick up another game this weekend on the Cubs it could make things very very interesting heading into the break.

Brault going four isn't telling me that they expect him to be a starter here very long.

announcers don't even touch the subject. Avoid talking about Kang altogether.

Remember when our bullpen sucked, and put the season in serious jeopardy?

Does that preclude the ESPN announcers (I was watching the national telecast) from talking about it? ESPN.com wrote about it. ESPN contributers tweeted about it.
