OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Polanco likes to fish

[TNT87]

Marte steals a home run away in the first and wins it with his own in the ninth.

If you would have told me only two Pirates got a hit the whole game and still win I wouldn't have believed you. lol

Lets take the series in front of a national audience tomorrow night.

there was one on ROOT that was soo bad. cutch kept answering with one word(with a real pi$$y mood) instead of sentences, it was this yr.

That was the worst I've seen, too. I'd call Cutch more exhausted than pissy...but both moods typically sound identical.

He was called out on it in the media too, and since then his postgames have been much better. Still cliches and stuff, but not sounding pissy. I get that it's annoying to do them, and Robbie to me is like Potash so I don't really blame the players, but it's part of the game, so suck it up.

****ing right!

Glasnow struck out 9 today in 6.1 shutout innings.

ERA of 0.99 after 5 AAA starts.

Glasnow struck out 9 today in 6.1 shutout innings.

ERA of 0.99 after 5 AAA starts.

And Bell is batting something like .320 since moving to AAA.

And the Padres might take another one from the Cards. 3.5 back if the lead holds up.

Bit at the end...

It's 8-0 Padres heading to the 8th. It should be enough I'd think.

Saw this on another message board and it really summed up a Pirates game.

Good starting pitching - check
Baserunning blunder - check
Leadoff walks - check
Shift taketh away - check
Shift giveth - check
Tons of broken bats by opposition - check
Cheap hits by opposition cause problems - check
Kang plays well yet again - check
Marte makes us say, "WOW!!" - check
Marte makes us say, "What the @#$%?" - check
Marte makes us say, "WOOOT!!" - check
McCutchen blisters a ball and has nothing to show for it - check
Pirates win - check

Before the Padres dropped 7 runs on the Cardinals, Matheney let Carlos Martinez bat in the top of the inning down 1 run with 1st and 3rd one out.

A big win tomorrow and an 0-3 start to the Cardinals west coast swing (they have 7 more left-4 vs AZ and 3 vs SF) could really put some pressure on them. The Giants have to be pretty desperate to win, but we should have a pretty decisive advantage in pitching matchups as long as bad Liriano doesn't resurface.

 

[Steve Durbano]

Wacha on the mound for the Cards today. You have to think they'll take that one. They play at 4, so we'll know before the game if we can get back to 2.5 games out. It's getting exciting now.

 

[Penguins23]

Watching the highlights from last night....is is just me or was Greg Brown not on his game last night for that walk off call? I was expecting better. I set the bar pretty high for him.

 

[ColePens]

It would be glorious for that pitching staff to come down to earth and them feel the desperation to maintain their spot up top the MLB.

 

[Asuna]

Wacha/Martinez are quickly going to pass their career high in innings pitched. Something to watch for the rest of the season.

At the very least, it should affect them next year.

I thought the same.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

He needs to do the full "Raise the Jolly Roger" to draw out every word. "Raise it" is too casual for a walk-off HR

 

[Asuna]

Mercer is back. Ishikawa to the DL with a 'low back strain'.

lol

 

[ColePens]

Man every team won today so we have to hold serve.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Pedro can drive a dagger right here.

Edit: Eh, sac fly. Still a good inning already.

 

[clefty]

Did I just see Polanco with a decent slide?

 

[Pete Gas]

Did they call him Cliff Hurdle?

 

[Penguins23]

How many times in the last week has this Pirates defense let us down???

 

[Cherpak]

If Alvarez and Walker are on this team next season someone in management better be losing their job....

 

[Coastal Kev]

Pirates defense is offensive.

 

[ColePens]

Pedro is ****ing killing me.
