Great explanation here from CBS sports:
Caballero is not in the lineup Friday versus the Pirates.

The left-handed-hitting Kolten Wong will start at second base and bat ninth with right-hander Mitch Keller on the mound for Pittsburgh. Caballero has slashed .300/.475/.467 in 40 plate appearances against lefties but just .258/.324/.387 in 37 plate appearances against righties.
So play Wong and his .477 OPS vs RHPs because Cabby only has a .711 OPS vs. RHPs. :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops: :oops: :oops: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :? :? :?

Fucking Clowns. That is all they are, Straight up fucking Clown Bitches.

No it created bad Karma which resulted in the Pirates hitting the Most HRs in a game in their 141 year history................at T Mobile Park.

After last night Wong's BA fell from .170 to .167. His SLG% fell from .200 to .196.

Let me repeat that. His SLG% is now under the Mendoza line. Can not make it up. Freakin Twilight Zone.

What a CLUNKER of a game. Let's hope it's the only one for a while.

What do you mean by that?

What we learned...
1. Kirby still has a lot of adjustments to make but that is to be expected
2. Saucedo, Then, and Flexen stink and should never be used in a close game or to protect a lead
3. Kelenic will finish the season with a BA around .200 and Wong will be gone by the AS break.

He thinks going 0-2 with two walks is some great feat. I guess it is..........for Wong.

Dylan Moore has now played in 6 games and is at .350/.880 but lets keep playing in Tacoma because our lineup is so productive right now.

Mike Ford now has 12 HRs and 52 RBIs.

Pollock, Trammel, Wong, Murphy, Hummell, La Stella and Haggerty have COMBINED for 10 HRs 38 RBIs but lets keep playing Ford in Tacoma because our lineup is so productive right now.

From the Pirates forum...

"Block" must be their version of Dave Sims. Or perhaps the balls really were just sailing like another poster here observed last night, in which case it's a shame the Mariners couldn't take advantage.
