Series Thread: D'Backs at Pirates

[element1286]

Miley pitching a gem, aided by great defense and a favorable umpiring.

I can only listen to the radio broadcast, but the way it's being called, it sounds like the Pirates have hit the ball hard fairly often in this one, but everything's either right at someone, or an out comes on a great play.

Now thats a nice bottom of the 9th

 

[Darkstone42]

Oh my God.

Ignore my question. I don't even care. It's now immaterial. Raise the Jolly Roger!

I just caught the tail end on mlbtv, i know the Ike Davis single was a broken bat job that he got over the firstbaseman.

Heh. I'll take it when it benefits us!

Hadn't had one of those in a while, nice win.

I thought Marte's shot off the wall was gone, after his bat flip. And Ike got it done. I was nervous about that. Let's go Bucs!

I didn't realize Locke went 8 yesterday. He's been fantastic since his call-up.

3-0 Bucs after 2. Polanco doubled and scored on a Marte groundout in the first, and then homered home himself and Jordy Mercer in the 2nd.

Another series victory with that 5-1 victory, and a chance for the sweep tomorrow!

Hopefully the Vanimal keeps it up. Until I heard that on TV I thought for sure my idiot buddy created that nickname. Didn't realize he was so established, nickname and all.

Good first inning for Vance.

 

[Darkstone42]

Worley through a second scoreless, this time with some serious luck.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

We suck.

 

[Darkstone42]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Worley, and he's cruising a bit early. Just 29 pitches through three frames, and he's struck out three batters.

 

[Darkstone42]

Mercer leads off the third with a hustle double. Worley will try to move him over.

 

[Darkstone42]

1-0 Bucs on the Polanco groundout.

 

[Darkstone42]

1-2-3 again for Worley, alternating dominant and lucky innings so far with the same results.
