Pirates lineup vs Righties

[chipper]

Looks like the new lineup for Pitt when Doumit plays (basically against all RHP) is:

1. Sanchez
2. McLouth
3. Bay
4. Doumit
5. Nady
6. LaRoche
7. Bautista
8. SS
9. SP


That's not a bad looking lineup for Pittsburgh. Lefty/Righty all the way down.
I think they could really surpass offensive expectations.

don't worry, they'll find a way to trade all those overproducing, underpaid (very un-Pirate-like) players... is Sean Casey available? I hear we have an outfielder who is doing ok who might be available...

Yeah, I can be happy that Jason Bay is batting third behind McLouth and Sanchez

Now now...trading Nady and Bay is without a doubt the right move, provided the Bucs can get proper value in return.

Yep


Another weird thing I noticed.
I gamble a little bit, and noticed that whenever Doumit catches the Pirate games tend to go Over the total more often than not. Whereas when Paulino catches the games tend to go Under.
It's probably two-fold, with Paulino calling a better game than Doumit for the pitchers, but also not providing as much offense as Doumit.
