pfalvey Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Bay is having a great season for you so far, but it seems like all of his HR's are solo. How many RBI's does he have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storcka9 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Bay is having a great season for you so far, but it seems like all of his HR's are solo. How many RBI's does he have? Yea alot of Bay's homeruns are solo shots but he is still having a phenomenal year batting .400 (9th) with 9 HR's (1st), 19 RBI's (2nd), .400 OBP, .843 SLG% (2nd), and 5 SB's (8th).

storcka9 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Pitching = Dreadful; C. Wilson Has Excellent Night Game Summary: From the first pitch of the game nothing went right for the Pirates. In teh first inning alone Victor Santos gave up five runs. And things did not get any better from there as Santos was chased in three innings pitched giving up seven runs. Ryan Vogelsong came into a tough situation in the fourth inning when the bases were loaded with no outs. He struck out the first two batters he faced but then lost it as six runs were scored. The one slight light in the pitching was Paul Maholm pitching four innings of relief giving up only two runs. It wasn't all bad for the Pirates though as Craig Wilson had his stick going hitting three homers in the game and four in the series. "I just was seeing the ball clearly tonight, and it also helps with the short porch in left," said C. Wilson after the game. Scoring: Biggio RBI triple in 1st Berkman RBI single in 1st Bagwell RBI double in 1st Everett 2-run homerun in 1st C. Wilson solo homerun in 2nd Hernandez RBI single in 4th Ensberg 2-run double in 4th P. Wilson 2-run single in 4th Bagwell RBI double in 4th Everett RBI double in 4th C.

storcka9 Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Bucs Win & Take 2 of 3; Snell Continues Dominance Game Summary: The Bucs and Stros finished off the series witha thriller going down to the last pitch. Things were pretty regular, back and forth baseball until the eighth inning. Things started off with Jeremy Burnitz grounding out but got crazy from there when Jose Castillo got a single. Castillo then stole his league leading ninth base but Astro coach Phil Garner did not agree with the call and got ejected. Ronny Paulino came up and grounded out to the second baseman, but advancing the runner. Roger Clemens, who pitched pretty well (8IP, 4R, 2BB, 2K), intentionally walked Pokey Reese to face Pirate pitcher Ian Snell. Jim Tracy continued to work his magic as he made the right call to bring in Sean Casey to pinch hit, and he hit a two run double. Those two runs turned out to be pivotal as the Astros scored in both the eighth and ninth innings. Ian Snell continued to pitch well going seven strong innings and picking up his third straight win. Mike Gonzalez also picked up his fourth save of the season. Scoring: Paulino RBI single in 4th Everett solo homerun in 5th Bay RBI single in 7th Casey 2-run double in 8th Biggio RBI single in 8th Bagwell solo homerun in 9th Players of the Game: Pirates: Ian Snell 7IP, 1R, 0BB, 3K Astros: Adam Everett 3-4, HR, RBI Next Game: 3 Game Series at St. Louis Cardinals Game 1: Oliver Perez (2-0) vs. Jeff Suppan (1-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storcka9 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Bucs Bats Come to the Rescue; Perez Gets Shaken Up Game Summary: Things started off fast for the Cards but turned very quickly to good fortune for the Bucs. Going into the fifth inning the Cards were sitting pretty with a four run lead but all of that was lost when Jeff Suppan gave up three homeruns to McLouth, J. Wilson, and Bay, and five runs. The Cards did end up tying the game in the fifth but they lost it quickly in the sixth when Jack Wilson hit his second homerun of the game. Said Jack Wilson after the game, "I'm just seeing the ball well right now and racking in the hits, it's awesome." Jack Wilson is currently hitting fifth best in the league at .422. The Bucs added two more runs in the eighth when Jose Hernandez hit a two run single. Oliver Perez had his poorest outing of the season (5IP, 4ER, 0BB, 2K) but he did keep his ERA low at 1.25.

storcka9 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Bucs Come Up Short in Comeback; J. Wilson Stays Hot Game Summary: It was a nail biter to the end that had an unfortunate outcome for the Bucs. Buc starter, Kip Wells, had trouble holding the Cards and went only five innings giving up all four runs. The Bucs came alive when Paulino led the sixth off with a double and came around to score. Vogelsing and Torres kept it close with three scoreless innings, and Jack Wilson tried with his two run bomb in the eighth, but it was not enough as they were sent down in order in the ninth by Jason Issringhausen. The Bucs did not help out their cause as the were caught stealing four times in the game.
