OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Polanco likes to fish

[PensandCaps]

? He just had a 2 hr game batting cleanup.

He was batting 5th that game......

Wrong. I just looked at the box score and he was hitting 4th. Besides, a guy is not going to hit any differently in the 4 spot as opposed to the 5th spot.

 

[ColePens]

Polanco man. Awesome. Terrible defense by Marlins though

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Pirates-esque defense by Dietrich there

 

[cheesedanish87]

Hopefully NH is able to lock up Polanco sometime this off season, the longer NH waits to sign him the more it will cost the Pirates.

 

[ColePens]

Leaving a lot of runs

 

[Penguins23]

You guys mention Marte walk and Kang double play and it happens. Good work guys.

 

[Penguins23]

Normally ground balls to the right side have fans feeling comfortable but anything in Pedro's area code has me more nervous than I was on my wedding day.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Great effort by Pedro and Happ to get the speedster Gordon at first.

They already tried... he wont take a discount deal so it looks like he will try to get market value asap.

He's gonna have a hell of a time getting market value considering he's not eligible for arbitration yet.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Wow Happ has been a really solid pickup thus far.

I sincerely hope you performed better than Pedro normally does

Outside of that first start, yes. Looks like skipping him in the rotation one time was a pretty good move.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Marte hit square in the back. What the hell Marlins?

 

[WickedWrister]

It's so quiet in the ball park that I can make out the individual curse words that Martin Prado just said.

I think it was Heyman who said they couldn't come to an agreement this past off season and that both sides agreed to wait til after the season to talk about an extension again.

I think there is definitly interest from both sides to get something done.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Can we credit Searage for Happ? I know this is a weak lineup but still pretty crazy.

Edit: Damn this park is huge. That would have been deep in the bushes at PNC.

Marlins getting booed in their own ball park for pitching inside ��

I just think Ellington is wild

More Pirate fans than Marlins fans there.

Looked like he was throwing at Marte to me. Catcher didn't put his glove in any particular place and he hit him square in the back. I have no idea why they would want to hit Marte, but it sure looked intentional to me.

Marte thought so too. Don't see him do the stare-down ever, and he gets hit a lot.

 

[TNT87]

Good job getting that run home with less than two outs.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

And that's why you never let Hughes start an inning

 

[Penguins23]

I don't remember Mercer being that slow. Felt like it took him forever to get down the line.
