    Change replacement to average MLB starter (~2-3 WAR) and you're right.

    Pittsburgh is tremendous. Would be in my top 3 cities to live in if not for the awful (relative to growing up in Houston) winters.

    PNC is also my favorite park

    How is it legal to just move players all over the field to different positions and there's a pitcher somewhere in the middle of the order? Does this mean Marisnick is pitching next inning?

    Well we know Giles will give up a run, so would really like an insurance run or two here.

    Hmm... I have a bad feeling about this one.

    I hope I am wrong but feeling a 7-6 final.

    There's no way the pen doesn't give up runs.

    If Hinch isn't going to use Sipp in that situation why even have him on the roster? Polanco has some awful splits.

    Sipp shouldn't be on the team.

    It's inexcusable that they haven't shored up the the pen with another left handed option.

    What are Devenski's splits to LH?

    Book is certainly out on him.

    NL is more intricate, but it's all MLB.

    No where near Cuban league, 32-YO virgin de MLB different ;)

    TWO, 4-run lead, equals no Giles... not necessarily a bad thing.
