OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Polanco likes to fish

[penzweiser]

When are Mercer and Harrison projected back

 

[ColePens]

Huge K for Cole.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Marte looked like he had a chance to catch that foul ball by Peralta, but for some reason he slowed up.

 

[ColePens]

Yikes. Thirty pitches early. Cole is gonna be maaaad. Gotta have a long inning here to give him a rest.

 

[T1K]

Used Cole a lot tonight for daily fantasy, kind of regretting the decision right now. That Goldschmidt strike out was clutch though.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

The Dbacks are either done for the night offensively or will put up 5 more.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Ugly game so far.

Cole doesn't have it, and the Pirates look like they are sleep walking through this game.

 

[WickedWrister]

It's the 3rd inning people

 

[ColePens]

I'm not even mad at the Buccos. Arizona is playing ****ing strong right now. Good defense, their hitters are all confident, and they play aggressive. Sometimes teams just have it.

Let's see if they can remain at this level all game.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Something to keep an eye out for.


Cole's last couple starts don't look good, but the defense was the big reason why.

 

[wheelz87]

And right about now I'm getting frustrated. This Hellickson guy is trash.

 

[djt153]

some really bad swings from the bucs best hitters tonight.

 

[ColePens]

Well.. make 'em pay. Period. Make them pay. We have A LOT of speed on the bases right now. Ramirez is hot. Make 'em pay.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Kang out of the game and Florimon in during a game the Bucs are losing by 3.

Stupid by Hurdle, just ****ing stupid.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Nice job by Cole to at least pitch into the 7th inning.

I don't know why NH doesn't call up an arm from triple a to help the bullpen, those guys are going to get burned out, these starters haven't went deep into games since the all star break.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Where's the anti-Hurdle brigade? This was probably his dumbest move of the year. Bringing in a defensive specialist in a game the Bucs are losing by 3 at the expense of one of our best hitters.

It had to be an injury otherwise Clint should be fired immediately after this game.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I'm not one to complain about umpires, but this year it seems like the umps have been terrible at calling balls and strikes.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

It's not an injury. He wants to get 2 out of Blanton. Kang was the last out of the previous inning. Dumb move imo.

And we are going to pinch hit for Florimon anyway. I'm confused.

Another horrible ump. Color me shocked.

 

[TNT87]

Damn it. Blown opportunity there.

Maybe an overreaction on my part but I hate the move as well.

 

[TNT87]

Third straight inning they get at least two on but unable to get a run across unfortunately.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Why in the world would Hurdle waste Soria when they are down 3 runs?

This is Soria's 5th game in 6 days.

If the Pirates have a lead going into the 7th tomorrow your not going to have him available.

 

[Beauner]

Sean Rodriguez shouldn't even be NEEARRR a baseball bat in the ninth inning of a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game!

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Bucs just didn't have the mojo tonight. Hopefully Frankie puts in a good effort and their fortunes are better tomorrow.
