A Saturday afternoon game

Ross Ohlendorf makes what will probably be his last start of 2009 at 12:35 today against Clayton Richard. I’ve got a pretty good feeling about this one, too, but I’m not guaranteeing another win.

No idea why the Pirates and Mets are playing at 1:10 today, but they are and that means I can’t watch them. Paul Maholm looks to make some headway after his last good start was wasted against the Brewers and he’ll go against John Maine, who’s off to a pretty rough start this year. Both today and tomorrow are pretty favorable pitching matchups for us, so hopefully we can steal a win here.

A few quick notes from the Trib: Adam Melhuse was signed and sent to AAA to provide some depth at catcher with Doumit out, Matt Capps might pitch today, and Jimmy Barthmaier is getting TJ and will be out for the season. That’s pretty rough news about Barthmaier; I thought he was pretty intriguing last year at AAA and was hoping maybe he’d push for a rotation spot if Karstens was struggling this year. That will obviously no longer be the case.
