Well, the Marlins ground Philly into mush, so now we 1.5 games up on Philly and 2 1/2 up on the Marlins.

We’re back in PNC Park, supposed to be the most beautiful park in the ML, who attracts fans with their food at the stadium – what a sorry thing.
Roger Clemens, RHP vs Oliver Perez, LHP (or is it Ian Snell, RHP?)
I don’t see Perez on the injured list and if he’s skipping a start, I can’t find out why…

Of Roger’s 30 GS, he gave up 1 or ZERO runs in 19 of them.
this year: 12 – 7 in 30 GS with 1 CG – 10 HR, 58 BB, 175 K over 198.1 IP with a 1.77 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a .189 BAA
6.2 IP/ GS
3.0 K:BB
7.94 K/ 9 IP
0.45 HR/ 9 IP
which will get his gasps of admiration from stat geeks and contempt from the BBWA cuz his teammates didn’t get him enuf W which makes it all his own personal fault 100% if he don’t get the CY…

vs. PIT: 3 – 0 in 5 GS – 0 HR, 12 BB, 35 K over 34.2 IP with a 2.86 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a .171 BAA
has never pitched at PNC

I’m reading that Oliver Perez might not be making his start, so just in case it’s true, here’s the scoop on his replacement,

Ian Snell, RHP
this year: 0 – 2 in 3 GS and 10 in relief – 4 HR, 17 BB, 26 K over 29 IP with a 6.83 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and a .302 BAA
vs. HOU: 0 – 1 in 1 GS and 1 in relief (lost to Astacio 7/19) – 0 HR, 3 BB, 7 K over 7 IP with a 6.43 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a .379 BAA

Oliver Perez, LHP
has been hurt a LOT of this year and has spent a few months total on the DL – he just got off it again a few weeks ago. IF he heals up, this should be interesting. I’ve seen Oliver at his unhittable best and his BP worst and I wonder who gonna show up tonight…
this year: 6 – 5 in 17 GS (2 QS) – 22 HR, 55 BB, 86 K over 89.1 IP with a 6.04 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and a .270 BAA
5.1 IP/ GS
9.6 K/ 9 IP (WOW)
1.62 K: BB (not as good as it was last year)
2.2 HR/ 9 IP (not quite Eric Milton/ Zeke Astacio, but almost)
vs. HOU: 2 – 1 in 3 GS – 4 HR, 6 BB, 30K over 21.1 IP with a 2.95 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a .182 BAA
He faced the Stros 4/25 and beat Roy 2-0
