Without a doubt they need to sweep the Astros they really need to take advantage of playing this team.

Hope for the best: 4-0
Expect the worst: 2-2
Realistic: 3-1

we have to build big MO going into cincy by going 5-2 in the next 7.
but sweeping these retreads with wandy starting the first reds game and being jacked to be in a real game for the first time in several years!!!!

I really think they need 3 wins in this series.. Holy Shit will the Reds ever lose again??? They are just playing out of their minds right now.

Right on track, it's amazing how much Houston sucks.

Very nice come-from-behind win last night..... even against Houston.

- It's impressive that Marte was able to hit the SF when needed.

- And Sutton gained additional respect for his situational awareness and alert baserunning.

Wandy a little wild tonight with a season high in walks.

Another battle of the bullpens. major advantage for us

 

[sychmd]

wandy must have had a bunch of emotions going against his ex mates a couple days after playing with them.

hopefully that was the reason for his wildness.

Yet another come-from-behind squeaker. Obviously, we're not blowing out the Astros, but a win is a win is a win.

This last game of the series may be the most important of the four, in that McDonald needs to get straightened out. In fact, IMO, McDonald pitching well may be more important than winning the game (although McDonald pitching well gives us the best chance of winning the game). The Pirates NEED McDonald pitching well for the stretch run.

When was the last time the Pirates swept to 4 game series against the same team in a season? This could be done today.
