Lets keep the streak rolling!

Btw, for any out of market fans, I just noticed ESPN picked up the Wed July 10 game vs Oakland.

 

[Darkstone42]

I don't think our winning streak will persist through this entire series, but I do expect us to take two of three. We have to, really, because winning series against struggling or underachieving or inferior teams is necessary for a successful team to remain successful.

We also want to carry some momentum into that series with Oakland. They're playing very good baseball themselves.

PS Did you guys here that ESPN will be covering the minor league rehab game ab's of a soon to be 38yr old A - Roid on the network?

My God, ESPN is such a Disgrace! They should change their call letters to YES or NESN, the way they "Cover" MLB. Disgusting!

Well our side of the rotation is changing.


Cumpton up, Harrison down, Apparently Locke was going to be the next one out of the pen on Sunday, and pitched to much in the BP to start today, not sure how the rest plays out, they might just skip Locke all together.

Hopefully he'll pitch on an extra day or two of rest, then, and not wait all the way until his next turn in the rotation.

 

[Darkstone42]

Cumpton's pitching pretty well so far. We need to get him some runs, though, so he can maybe relax a bit.

 

[Darkstone42]

Well there's a blown opportunity.

Darn it, Jones.

Heck of a play by Utley to save the run on McCutchen's hit, though.

 

[Darkstone42]

Inge pinch-hitting for Jones.

Why does Hurdle insist on these sorts of moves?

 

[Darkstone42]

And, predictably, Inge strikes out.

 

[steelparrot]

We need a better option for that situation for sure, its laughable, like our rf production.

Well this doesnt look good, to top it all off I'm gonna lose all my vcash lol

 

[element1286]

Inge is seriously worthless at this point. I liked the Michael Young suggestion from the other day, he's essentially a utility guy at this point and could be a backup at every infield position.

 

[Darkstone42]

Bases loaded and no one out and we can't score. We have to get at least one home there.

 

[Darkstone42]

We might set a record for blown scoring opportunities today...

 

[steelparrot]

Pedro says you are wrong!

 

[Darkstone42]

Obviously I reverse-jinxed them.

 

[stillmatic32]

Obviously I reverse-jinxed them.

Nice reverse-jinx. Strong move.

Looks like Cutch is about to catch fire.

 

[steelparrot]

Grilli is getting lucky giving up runs till its a 1 run win.

A win is a win though

Young would be excellent, but I believe the Pirates also need someone to hit behind Alvarez.
