.3—The Daily Collegian Friday, Aug. 15,1980 Bugs face Expos hampered by injuries PITTSBURGH (AP) When it comes to limps, aches and grimmaces, the Pittsburgh Pirates are just like the rest of the contenders at this stage of the baseball season. But there is something else, beyond the muscle pains and knee strains, which the 1979 World Series champions hope will set them apart. “We’re known for rising to the occasion. When we have to win, we do,” outfielder Mike Easier said in advance of a weekend series with Montreal, who istied with Pittsburgh atop the National League East. Easier is hitting .356 and Lee Lacy is batting .346 platooning in leftfield this season, and they have risen to the occasion to offset assorted injuries to big-name Pirates. “This is going to be a great series with Montreal,” bubbled Easier. "The stage is set, two first-place teams going at each other. You know everybody will be up.” A season ago, the Pirates were 24-9 in August and 20-10 in September. So far this August, they are 8-6, but they have won eight of their last 10 games, including a recent four game sweep of second-place Philadelphia. Rightfieldcr Dave Parker, first baseman Willie Stargell and shortstop Tim Foli were all sidelined during a Wed nesday night loss to the New York Mets. Parker’s injury is the most serious. He has missed four straight starts with an ailing knee. Stargell, sidelined earlier in the season with a hamstring pull, has a lesser knee strain. And Foli has a sore back. v mr ] % 9W**f&"’- i>Jl ■'., wmmlj I*® V.. ’H Photo by Rich OiSammartlno Freshmen football prospects go through conditioning workouts yesterday.

But I think they will be able to play. “Parker said he would. Stargell thinks he will and Foli thinks he will.” In addition to injuries to Parker and Stargell, Bill Robinson is on the disabled list with a sore heel. Bill Madlock is also playing with a chronic thumb injury, and his .251 average is about 70 points below his liftime mark. On the pitching staff, three key starters have losing records. Bert Blyleven, who wants to be traded because he thinks Tanner is to quick with the hook, is 6-8, John Can delaria is 8-12 and Don Robinson is 4-5. But, just as with Easier and Lacy on offense, other Pirates pitchers have stepped to the fore. Jim Bibby takes a 14-2 record into his Friday night start against Montreal’s Steve Rogers. Eddie Solomon, acquired from Atlanta in spring training, is 7-3. In the bullpen, Kent Tekuvle is 8-5 with 17 saves. Grant Jackson is 8-3 and Enrique Romo is 5-4. “Pitching has kept us in this race,” said Tanner. “We’ve lost Robinson, Parker and Stargell for periods of time, and we’ve won because of our pitching. The last thing peolple think about us is our pitching. But the depth of our staff has been the most important thing to us.” .
