2024 Pittsburgh Pirates

If only the Pirates can get a couple of good hitters to go with the 3 pitchers we got

 

Going to the 7th… come on bullpen

 

Chapman in to start 7

 

And Chapman plunks the first batter

 

Tellez at 1b with a mouthful of food

 

Chapman POs the runner at first!

 

Back to back innings of piss poor base running by the redlegs.

 

Fairchild for the Reds looks like a little kid… guess thats a sign im elderly

 

Going to the 8th… 4-1 Pirates… hopefully 4 runs is enough, the bats have gone ice cold.

 

Hopefully Chapman sets them down, Bednar in 9th most likely
Holderman starts the 8th

 

Holderman quietly putting up good numbers

 

Holderman with the K to end the inning

  Holderman stats

 

Tellez up to bat.. is that a hotdog hanging out of his mouth?

 

Headed to the 9th… 4-1 your Bucs… Bednar on the way in…cross your fingers and toes… I believe he gave up a homer in each of his last 2 appearances

 

Raise the Jolly Roger… Bucs win 4-1!

 

Skenes is now 4-0 and Pirates are 6-1 when he touches the ball!
Plus we are quietly 2 games under 500! Lets go!

 

Bednar does his job for the save

 

Tellez 2 for 4, saw numbers that said that he is heating up. Must be eating his Wheaties this month.
Now it’s Taylor and Sewerinski who are not hitting.
Holderman is pitching well and should have Chapman’s innings. Chapman should be traded to a contender for a bat.

 

Tellez has been hot these last 10 games. Shocked! Skenes being Skenes.

Tough one today boys. Nick Lodolo is tough. Falter is going to have to keep us in it. Can't see our line-up giving Lodolo much fear.

 

Please somehow win tonight. Kind of sucks when 1 game can put you at 3 under .500 or 1 under .500.

My friends get a kick out of how all I have to hope for in MLB is a .500 team while they plan on winning the WS this year. And just like the last 2 years I hope I can laugh at them again. Last year I was with a group when Arizona stopped them from going. Do you have any idea how hard it is to emphasize with guys you like while inside you can't wait to get home and call your family and laugh our asses off.

 

I just can't see Chapman bringing a good bat. They have a chance to keep us a tiny bit interested if they get a decent bat.

 

we are short of pitchers? Why did we have 2 bullpen games? Do we not have enough starting pitching?

 

Dock Ellis is on the IR with severe acid reflux. No other decent starters apparently this side of Bradenton.

 

What a putrid display of hitting. 3 games under 500. And on it goes
