Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies – Game 75

Rich June 28, 2012 Respond

Wild game last night.  Check out the recap for details.

The Pirates can salvage this series this afternoon.  Good news is they will face another beatable pitcher.

First Pitch:  1:05 PM EST

Where To Watch:  Root Sports, MLB.TV, CSN

 

Kyle Kendrick, RHP (27)

Another day another SINO — Starting Pitcher In Name Only.

That might be harsh. He has been pretty crappy as a starter, no doubt. But he was abysmal as a reliever. Maybe he is more of a PINO?

That’s the type of numbers that lead to an awful record, and stat line.

Kendrick has seen the Pirates twice this year. Each time was in a Pirates win. Juju!

In addition to his failures this season, the Pirates tuned him up very well last season.

Big game. Should be a good day to be a Pirate.

A.J. Burnett, RHP (35)

A.J. is going for eight in a row. A very magnificent feat indeed. Lots were against this deal, they are now nowhere to be found. Burnett has been everything the Pirates could have wanted out of him.

He should go to the All Star game, but he probably won’t.

As I’m sure you remember, Mr. Burnett missed the first series with the Phillies after bunting a ball into his face.

He did not face the Phillies last year and while he has 18 career appearances only two of them came after 2008.

Those less than ideal numbers aren’t very relevant then.
