July 16, 201115 yr 11 hits from the top 6 in the order. It's been awhile since they have done that. I like Cozart in the 2 hole and Rolen hitting 6th.
July 16, 201115 yr Cozart 3 hits tonight. Love what he is doing so far. Janish 1 for 17 @ Louisville. He may never get over this demotion.
July 16, 201115 yr Anyone think we might see some retaliation from BP's walkoff HR trot? No taunting or showboating so I would say no

July 16, 201115 yr No taunting or showboating so I would say noIf there is, the war will start all over again.
July 16, 201115 yr Cozart 3 hits tonight. Love what he is doing so far. Hopefully he keeps it up and I think he will, I know westsider loves him too...
July 16, 201115 yr If the score in Brewers game holds Pirates will be in first place. Who would have thunk it? The Pirates? The Pirates? I can honestly feel for the Pirate fans. They were a once proud franchise that fought the Reds year in and year out and they have been down for a long time. My wife is a personal friend of the Pirates owner and has been in the owner's box on several occasions but I could honestly never talk baseball with him the few times I met him because I didn't know where to begin. You think Mike Brown is bad, Bob Nutting is almost as bad as Mikey Brown when it comes to $$ but some of the good young talent they have amassed is starting to pay off for them .
July 16, 201115 yr Not that Dusty needs to justify using Chapman in the 8th...but he as a pretty darn good reason after the game, IMO. Baker said he used Chapman because of the lack of success Nick Masset and Logan Ondrusek had against Pujols and Matt Holliday coming in. Pujols was hitting .462 off Masset and .500 off Ondrusek. Holliday was hitting .364 off Masset and .500 off Ondrusek

No reason to feel bad for the pirate fans. Lets not act like our franchise has been that much better, until last year we have basically sucked almost as long as they have since their last winning season. So we know what it is like and apparently their young players are finally starting to produce like ours did last year. So I don't feel bad for them, we had to go through it ourselves. The only difference is they get to root for a team that wins super bowl titles once football season starts.
July 16, 201115 yr Cozart 3 hits tonight. Love what he is doing so far.I agree, the kid is a good baseball player, has done everything ask of and more so far. I just hope that Dusty will leave him there and let the kid play every day. Knowing him he will screw around juggling the lineups and batting orders every game. I really liked tonights lineup and hope that Dusty will not mess with it. I will beat that point to death on Dusty constantly changing the lineup, positions and batting orders a team can/will never get used to playing good team ball with different people in the lineup every night. I just wonder if it will be the same tommorrow night. I won't hold my breath, blue is not a favorite skin color of mine.
July 16, 201115 yr Not that Dusty needs to justify using Chapman in the 8th...but he as a pretty darn good reason after the game, IMO. And how much success has Chapman had against them?
