The Astros guys, however, are a close second..

I've never listened to the Pirates' guys, but if they're worse than the Astros', they must be the radio equivalent of anthrax.

Not sure. I wonder if it has to due with cold weather. He hit decent in Houston.

What exactly do you think is gonna happen? You think he's gonna hit 159 this season with 15 hrs? lol

Well outside of last year, April he hit for average, but his power numbers weren't there really.

Ok Dusty, time to take out Wainwright. 111 pitches is quite enough.

Wainwright hasn't been that great as a starter yet, really. He's battled alot but he walks too many batters, imo. He needs to attack more.

Yeah. I hate to start griping about pitch counts so early in the season, but letting Wainwright go 113 in his second start is pushing it a bit.
