... Was it just me or was Maholm up in the strike zone almost all day? He got some swings and misses and some contact low below the knees, but it didn't look like he threw a pitch low for a strike all game long. Seemed like everything that was in the zone was belt high and up. I'll have to look at the charts. |

... Adam LaRoche-What does he have since joining the "pirates north" 3 or 4 doubles and a home run? Came within inches of going over the Monster last night. Isn't it amazing how you can hit when you have someone behind you in the order that is actually a threat to hit the ball? |

... Since LaRoche has gone to Boston the guys behind him have been Varitek (.233 avg), Lowrie (.108), Kottaras (.207), and Green (the class of the bunch at .250). And if we're using three-game sample sizes, in the three games before he was traded LaRoche was 4 for 12 with three doubles. But I won't be at all surprised if he does better in Boston; doesn't he hit with more power to left field, where Fenway has a short porch and PNC a long one? I vaguely remember Pat pointing this out as an example of Littlefield's fecklessness; he went out and got a left-handed power hitter for PNC without bothering to check that he hit the ball to right field. |

... Well, 'tek has enough power that he might count as a threat -- his OPS is .792. Stupid box scores printing average only. |

... somehow I expect that to be like 99% fat-free -- throwing 2/3 of a no-hitter means that 1/3 of the batters got hits. Srsly, that's pretty sweet. On the other hand, Jeff Karstens -- it's small sample sizes all round. |
