nothing like the best support for Roansy! Although some may say it is a hodgepodge.

As bad as the lineup looks, the only other position players are Marcano, Cruz, Heineman and VanMeter.



Marcano is hitting .250 vs LHP so he's an option despite being a LH batter. Cruz is only hitting .191 vs LHP but he's only hitting .198 vs RHP. So I guess it doesn't matter who is pitching, Cruz isn't going to hit. VanMeter has no business being in MLB and Heineman is the backup catcher. I guess when your roster is a HPON*, one player's as good (or bad) as another.



*(HPON = hodgepodge of nothingness)

Contreras only pitched 14 innings at Indy. They gave him nearly 3 weeks off after the Pirates optioned him and then he made 4 starts going 2 then 3 then 4 than 5 innings.

Nice of the Pirates to get their 2 runs out of the way as early as possible. It's sad that you look at this lineup and can't really think anyone is due for a hit or expect a hit.

In the NL, only 2 players with as many or more PAs (181) as VanMeter have a worse BA than his .188. Max Muncy at .186 is one. The other is Yoshi Tsutsugo (.171).
