Pedro Astacio, RHP (1-1, 5.19)
Astacio, who is making only his third start of the season, will face the Pirates for the 18th time in his career. He is 8-4 with a 5.03 ERA against them. In his last start, Astacio lasted 3 2/3 innings and gave up five runs -- four earned ? against the Padres.

Ian Snell, RHP (8-6, 4.74)
Snell, the winningest pitcher on the Pirates staff, was superb in earning his eighth victory of the season July 7 against the Phillies. Snell baffled Phillies hitters for seven innings, getting them to chase pitches off the plate to the tune of six strikeouts. The 24-year-old right-hander has been streaky of late, however, as the Philadelphia game broke a three-game losing streak, which had followed a five-game winning streak. Snell has not faced the Nationals yet this season.

Sorry I know it's really early, but I'm going to be on the road for 5 hours today, so I wanted to make sure it was taken care of before I left. Enjoy the game everyone! I'll probably be in to check in by stretch time.

Yea, that was pretty sweet. Great way to start the game.

I really don't know what the fudge happened when Felipe Lopez got picked off. So did Frank Robinson.

Come on Kearns and Zimmerman. Take it to the House!

Senators2005 · « **Reply #12:** July 15, 2006, 07:30:17 PM »

Zimmerman still cranking out those hits!

That's 14 consecutive games now.

Is this great hitting or terrible pitching?

terrible pitching by the Bucs I would say.

PC · « **Reply #16:** July 15, 2006, 07:35:47 PM »

When you walk Brian Schneider, that's pretty bad!

PC · « **Reply #17:** July 15, 2006, 07:36:21 PM »

Can Pedro lay down a bunt???

Senators2005 · « **Reply #18:** July 15, 2006, 07:36:24 PM »

I have a feeling this is going to be a high scoring game. :oops:

Little bit of both. Snell is a young picture.

Well, striking out is better than GIDP.

Now we need Vidro to be a hero...
