OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Polanco POLANCOOOOOOOOO!

[sniugneP]

Polanco will bat 2nd.

POLANCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BTW, apparently Dean Treanor told him he was getting called up in front of the entire team in the clubhouse, which just erupted.

I liked one of the comments on that video of the fan kicking him in the head.

"Is that field small or is Polanco some sort of Da Vinci sculpture?" Haha

 

[Shrimper]

I might even watch tonight. How good is Polanco?

Well it's his first game so who knows. Insane stats at pretty much every minor league level, and a tremendous physical specimen it looks like. But you never know.

I knew there was no way he was going to do so, but I kinda wish Polanco would have stuck with that #62 he was wearing in camp

25 is such a bland number. Blech, camo night. I love the idea of it, but there has never been a camo jersey in any sport that has looked decent.

 

[clefty]

Camo jerseys are for mouthbreathers.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Polanco does indeed look a lot like a giraffe out there.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Definitely an awkward build, but it works.

The kid has an impressive grasp of English considering he's a 22 year-old from the Dominican Republic. Marte still uses a translator more often than not.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

.500 is sustainable, right?

It's fitting that McCutchen homers right after Polanco's first hit. Tie game!

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Yay Polanco

Oh ****. That's exciting.

 

[clefty]

Coming for you, Pete Rose.

I believe that gentleman's name is ANDREW MCCUTCHEN.

 

[sniugneP]

Gotta love Polanco run hard around the bases even though it's a home run. Cutch told him to slow down.

The auction for Polanco's game-used jersey is going to be insane when it's over. It's going to be an extremely valuable collectable especially it's his MLB debut.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Just had a thought: maybe Pirates Charities is the true enemy, as ever, in terms of why Polanco was kept down longer than the expected cutoff. Game used first jersey auction? $$$$$

#FakePiratesAuction on Twitter is trending. Look it up.

my faves "A sausage dinner with Randall Simon"

"Jose Tabata gets your lips tatted on his ass"

"Jason Kendall's ankle brace"

"Juicing session with Brian Giles"

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

**** me. Liriano hurt and done.

 

[sniugneP]

Frankie is done tonite. He's injured. Gomez is warming up now.

 

[sniugneP]

If Liriano is going to be on DL, I think Worley will come up.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Ugh, at least six innings more mileage on the bullpen. Hopefully this is a very short-term injury.

At this point it'd basically have to be Worley getting the call with Locke already up for Cole.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

The only non-Worley option would be to stretch out Pimentel if he's ready to come back, but it definitely makes sense to see what we have in Worley if Liriano has to miss any games.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Once Stolmy cames up i hope Pirates DFA Gomez, i can't stand Gomez.

 

[sniugneP]

The auction is at $10,100 for Polanco's game-used jersey right now.
