Correia’s last stand?

Kevin Correia is taking the mound for the Pirates again this afternoon, even though it seems like everyone everywhere thinks this is a bad idea except for Clint Hurdle (and maybe Neal Huntington, who knows?). The Pirates have better options, most of Correia’s starts have generally resembled ticking time bombs, and the Tigers’ lineup is absolutely capable of just destroying Correia today. Seriously, Prince Fielder is just starting to heat up. Unless Correia walks him every time up, Prince is going to eat him alive today. 

The Tigers are sending Max Scherzer to the mound. He’s had a rough go of it on occasion this year, but his K/9 is 10.4. Get ready to hear about how he’s back on track in about four hours! First pitch is at 1:05.

About Pat Lackey

In 2005, I started a WHYGAVS instead of working on organic chemistry homework. Many years later, I've written about baseball and the Pirates for a number of sites all across the internet, but WHYGAVS is still my home. I still haven't finished that O-Chem homework, though.
