http://thisisgettingold.net/2012/04/29/ ... s-game-21/A road start during a day game for Correia? How can the guy lose? Seriously it's time to move Pedro up. Pitchers aren't giving him much right now because he is intimidating them to a certain degree. He is stinging the ball well and showing some patience. Time to make pitchers really have to work to get around him.

Time to make pitchers really have to work to get around him. I'd wait....he's still only hitting .176 and is seriously lost whenever he's not getting fastballs. He's starting to do better lately batting sixth. Keep him there until he gets to .220 or .230 at least.

Tabata is hitting .200 so it wouldn't be that much a drop off in the average, while the power numbers would greatly improve. It replaces a .455 OPS with a .693 OPS. You'll probably be surprised to know that Pedro Alvarez ranks twelve out of 20 in regards to 3B with 25+ PA in the National League. Just about average. And trending up. I'm also pretty sure he hasn't hit a fastball out of the park yet.

I think they'll move him up soon.
I agree with you about putting Neil into the #2 hole. I think that will help Neil's bat a bit as well. Tabata is really disappointing. He needs to pull head out of ass soon.
C'mon KCore, give us another quality start, brother! And let's get those bats warmed up and ready to rumble today! I want 2 of 3 from this team BAD! Hate the fucking Braves!

That line drive shot by Pedro...I haven't seen a Pirate hit a ball in the field of play that hard since Dave The Cobra Parker. There were fucking flames coming off that baseball.

Good start by the Bucco bats....let's knock out Hudson early!
Tabata and Pedro are both starting to heat up.
