Rubber match

Ian Snell and Felipe Paulino take the mound at 2:05 today in what should be the opposite of a pitcher’s duel. Of course, it’s terrible pitchers that have given the Pirates the most trouble this year and Paulino certainly qualifies. It should be interesting to see how Ian Snell responds to the challenge that Charlie Morton presents to him now that he’s in AAA. I’d guess that Morton will be in Pittsburgh sooner rather than later, and if Snell can’t get his act together, it could be in his place.

How do I think Snell will respond? By walking hitters, giving up home runs, and blaming someone else for his struggles, of course.
