Andrew McCutchen now has 15 extra base hits in his last 11 games. The last Pirate to do that was Ralph Kiner, in 1947.

Cutch with his patented summer surge towards the MVP Pitching has gotten better. Our defense while still making some dumb plays is improved. Almost back to .500 and only 2-3 games out of a WC spot. Loooooong way to go but this team is starting to look like a team that could claw their way into the postseason.

 

[Penguins23]

It's going to be a very tough series this weekend against a decent Marlins team and they have decent pitchers lined up against up.

Jesus Christ, Randy Wolf is still a thing?

Looks like we miss Fernandez at least.

Looks like? His season is over

Cool analysis of Cutch's catch in New York from MLB's new tracking technology.

Damn

Polanco singles, Marte homers

2-0 early

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Cutch can motor

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Who the **** is Michael Martinez

edit: Locke taking names. 6-2 through 6. Polanco looks good too.

 

[bradshaw06]

Great night from the outfield

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Polanco 4-5 with 4 singles

 

[sniugneP]

4 hits for Polanco

 

[td_ice]

Great outing by Locke. He looks great tonight.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Only 100 pitches for Locke through 8, let him finish it!

 

[penguins2946*]

Our top of the lineup in a year or 2 is going to be absolutely nasty.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Polanco looks so natural at the plate. Rare to see a 22 year old who can hit to all fields like he has been so far. I think we may have a gem on our hands.

 

[td_ice]

GI Jones with PH AB.

 

[td_ice]

Grilli in now.

Edit: bases jammed.

Edit: two out, 6-3.

Edit: awful, 4th walk of the inning.
We are trying to give this game away.

 

[td_ice]

Disgusting.

"Here Florida, we don't want this game, you take it."

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I don't even know why Grilli is the closer. Melancon is a better pitcher by far at this point.

 

[td_ice]

This is brutal.

 

[Beauner]

Wow.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

6 walks in an inning up 4. ********** unbelievable.
