1. Adam Frazier (L) RF

2. Starling Marte (R) CF

3. Josh Bell (S) 1B

4. Corey Dickerson (L) LF

5. Jung Ho Kang (R) 3B

6. Josh Harrison (R) 2B

7. Jordy Mercer (R) SS

8. Jacob Stallings (R) C

9. Jameson Taillon (R) P

Pretty solid lineup. Looks like Hurdle wants to give Taillon a good chance to pick up #15. With that in mind, a little strange that Stallings is catching. But it would be a day game after night game for Diaz and Cervelli seems to be sick.

Marte once again puts his base running prowess on display. ::)

6 starters in lineup with first name starting with J

too bad Luplow couldn't be in there too to make 7 of 9

It seems like there's been a lot games this year where the Pirates haven't scored a run. They really need to address offense over the winter. On another note, on the TV side they were asking for fans to suggest the team MVP for the year (and the booth announcers joined in as well). Dickenson was the consensus pick, but the interesting part is I didn't hear Marte's name coming up.

Interesting question. Worthy of a thread of its own. I'll start one.
