The Bucs seem to be having trouble picking up Fister's slider.

walker gets beaned.
locke should hit cabrera, as he has a good chance of getting a hit anyways. hit him in the knee and keep him to one base.
need to show this is a take charge bucs team, not to be pushed around anymore.
and if 2 outs, hit fielder also and really send a message to the rest of the league.
as far as the pen, getting to a 5-2 lead by the 6th and having starters go 7 or 8 or heaven forbid, a CG, so we only need 14 innings per week from our pen. that is 2 innings per guy. i am sure we could swing that and even give grilli and/or melancon 3 innings.
hurdle needs to get off this double switch addiction he has and use a pitcher for 2 innings more often as well.

I don't think there's any need for us to hit one of their batters. It's just a free baserunner.

he got a double anyway.
they hit walker, who hit them hard.
we cant let pitchers just chuck at our guys without any boundaries or limits or justice.
cabrera hit us hard, so lets hit him and even it out.
also puts their hitters on their heels a bit and sends a message to the league.
also, it will really elevate the comraderie and view of locke.
just like if someone took a run at crosby or malkin.

To me a guy getting hit in the calf does not indicate he was thrown at.
Besides, nothing says, "You can't push us around" like winning the game.

Not sure why Walker would be stealing there. Maybe Cutch missed a hit and run sign.

Well, we could have had a run had Walker not been sent in the McCutchen at bat, but three straight hits off of Fister is a good sign.

Darn it, Martin. That was a terrible at bat.

hit cabrera and win the game to take the series can all be had.
not an either/or situation.
fister has had great control and walker is killing them when no one is hitting in 3 games like him. he was throwing at him.

And that puts so much extra pressure on Snider here. We need to get something across.

Geez, another pitcher's duel. Lots of pitchers involved in this one, though.

That was so close to being a granny. If only that fan had better hands...
Another pitching-heavy win. It would be nice to see our offense get going again, though. Walker's the only one not in a slump right now.

A lot of pitchers used in the this series. Heavy workload for the bullpen.
would be nice for a couple of games where the starter could go 8 innings to give the guys some rest..

AMAZING.
9 runs allowed in a 4 game series.
3 runs in the last 3 games.
2 1-0 wins in OT.
all this against the second highest scoring team out of a 30 team league.
wow, our staff sent a powerful message.
the fans better start filling that park.
hitters better start to get jacked to pick up the pitching staff.
hopefully wandy can go 8 cuz cueto usually pitches well against us.

Still no fucking respect from the media. MLB.com and ESPN have no stories on their sites about the Pirates.
Ok, I found one way down ESPN's list about Martin's 11th inning HR.

At least the MLB network had the live look in and showed it real time!
And they did talk about the rotation but yeah I have no clue what it takes for them to get coverage? Maybe move to Boston or New York?
