Braves (18-16) at Pirates (16-19)
7:05--PNC Park, Pittsburgh
Chuck James (2-1, 7.62) vs. Tom Gorzelanny (2-3, 6.91)
[GameTrax]
----------
Both these guys aren't having the best of years. Gorzo in particular. He skipped a turn in the rotation so hopefully that will help him get back on track. He didn't pitch well against the Braves in the second game of the season, either.
--
Chuck James owns us. 0 runs in 13 innings in 2 starts. He's not even good, struggling this year with getting guys out and staying healthy. Something's gotta give.
-
The Bucs will be looking to win 5 games in a row, meaning it would be their best streak this season.
-------
PREDICTIONS
Jesse: Gorzo pitches well after the extra rest and Pirates win.
Dan: Pirates win
Me: I don't like this. James will dominate and we'll lose, even if Tom gets back on track (which I doubt).
------
HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!! Just checked the lineups--JASON MICHAELS is starting in CF and BATTING THIRD!!!! No McLouth or Doumit in the lineup.
This is completely absurd. There's nothing wrong with sticking Michaels in the lineup for a day off for Nate, but 3rd?? He's batting .207! 0 HR's! What the heck is Russell thinking?
Now I really am sticking by my prediction of a loss.
