OT: Pirate Talk: Lets play ball!

[Booker T]

Raise it! Great comeback win!

 

[TNT87]

What a comeback!!! I thought for certain they were done.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Holy game lol

 

[Beauner]

Does the league waive the mandatory wait period for callihan’s HOF induction? Do they just do it now?

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Raise it! Great comeback win!

Makes up for the Houston blow game

 

[Coastal Kev]

I'll take it......

 

[Empoleon8771]

I fully expected this team to get swept this series so even getting 1 win is enough for me

 

[PensandCaps]

Ohtani may be the greatest player I've ever watched............wow

Leads the league in OPS, OBP and....ERA. Its like if Skenes was also prime Pujols with Mike Trout speed lol

We should give Skenes a bat

Against an Ohtani start no less. You don’t care how, coming out with a win is huge

So everyones my player on MlB the show

Yea, I wonder if Skenes should get a bat.

 

[MrBrightside]

Lose with Skenes against Lauer.

Win with basically a bullpen game against Ohtani.

Sure.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Also you know it’s a sign of the apocalypse when Horwitz cranks a HR against a lefty

I legit wouldn’t be surprised if that was his first one in the MLB. And I just looked, it wasn’t his first but it was his second

 

[ChaosAgent]

If the Pirates survive and go far this year, the Tyler Callihan game will go down in Pirates lore.

If we get swept consecutively and go under .500, this thing is spiraling. Now, fine, we probably lose with Keller tomorrow but we get a much easier schedule starting from over .500 now.

Soto didn't make a bad pitch to Ohtani. It's Ohtani.

 

[PensandCaps]

He could hit in collge, why not. some people are just great at everything they do. Skenes strikes me as someone who could do well with the bat. Not Ohtani but better than Trio and Davis

 

[pistolpete11]

Ohtani may be the greatest player I've ever watched............wow

I think he's the greatest player of all time. We'll see where the numbers end at the end of his career, but he's Babe Ruth with modern athletes as his competition, not just white dudes that drink rot guy whiskey and smoke a pack a day.

 

[Beauner]

I stopped paying attention after it was 6-1 my flabbers are gasted

If Callihan is legit...this offense is scary.

Would have to look at his advanced metrics

I feel like if Callihan was a guy, we’d have known by now

I turned it off and was checking in on ESPN. Tuned back in when they had 2 on and Lowe hit the 2-run double.

 

[ChaosAgent]

I highly doubt he's legit, but minor leaguers can lock in and hit tanks, too.

If a guy like him went on a heater randomly over the next week and helped us go 5-2 or something that would be a huge contribution.

Prime Arod was nuts, Bonds would have so much better numbers if pitchers actually threw to him and if the MLB didn't force him out of the league after leading the league in OBP and OPS at 40.

As good as Ohtani is, he's no Bonds at the plate.

Yah i remember when Yorke was on fire for a week. But sometimes a guy just breaks out and never looks back.

 

[TNT87]

Nice to see the other team's bullpen implode and have a costly error. Even better when it's the Dodgers.

I think Callihan and his agent would be happy if he was Mangum.

Speaking of which.
Mangum is hugely important over this next stretch especially if Griffin is out longer. He seems to be locked in-ish.

Finally, where is Esmerlyn Valdez already. Why is Cook here and not him. We are facing a lefty, and we want to give Ozuna a last chance, I get it. So DH Ozuna and put Valdez in right please.
