OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Duct Tape and Bubble Gum

[JimmyTwoTimes]

We've been great against Anderson so far...dont let this be the game he pitches a gem. Tho Musgrove spotting him a 2 run lead helps his confidence.

Have to keep it at 2 and not get this get out of control like our usual losses do. The bats will pick it up eventually...Chase rarely gets past the 4th inning. Hes more of a reliever

 

[Scandale du Jour]

This has all the makings of a lopsided one.

Considering Musgrove probably will not make it through the 4th...

You can usually tell in the first or second inning how a Pirate game is going to go.

 

[td_ice]

Brewers seeing Musgrove's pitches well, and tattooing them.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

I think we need at least a run here in the second or this is going to spiral out of control. Musgrove either doesn't have it or he's hurt, or both.

Its why we are better on the road. When we score first we have a much better chance at winning.

When the other team bats first and scores mutliple runs...it gives their pitcher the edge and our bats feel more pressure

Bell gets hits on bad swings...thats how good he is..

 

[DJ Spinoza]

That slide from Bell was a minor miracle after seeing Polanco just destroy his entire body so much on similar looking plays.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

We need a HR here, not just one run. But I'll settle for one.

 

[td_ice]

Come on Redbeard, get some ribbies.

Yeah, we can't afford a goose egg here. Got to score something.

 

[td_ice]

Ok, ok, there's a run. 3-1. Diaz rbi single.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Our World Series is Elias Diaz hitting a single in the second inning in May to keep us within two runs of the Brewers.

We're a jaded bunch

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Soooo close for Musgrove.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Damn, Musgrove put a charge into that one but barely foul.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Feels like a wasted opportunity. Runners at the corners with only 1 out...

 

[td_ice]

Damn, for a second I thought Joe hit a 3 run shot.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Frazier really needs to flip one of those balls over the outside of the plate into the outfield. He's reminiscent of the pitching in some sense right now, in that he can battle and get close, but then can't close the deal.

Still, one was necessary there. Now we need a shutdown inning, and hopefully the offense can jump on Anderson again in the third.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Dammit...

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Mike Moustakas signed a 1 year, 10 million dollar deal. Good thing we have Colin Moran under so many cost controlled years.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This game makes me sad.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

This game makes me sad.

Yep. We just aren't good enough.

 

[td_ice]

Yikes. Musgrove getting abused.

 

[Rakell67]

Bell gets hits on bad swings...thats how good he is..

Imagine a Meadows/Bell combo...
