I'm expecting a pitchers duel(at least in il the Pirates Bullpen comes in the game)

Greinke is good at home, Taillon has been pretty good recently.

Combine that with the umpire today Ryan Blakney who usually has a big strike zone.

Can we figure out a way to let the Diamondbacks get out of this situation and still have the lead?

It seems like we've managed to have a ton of 3-5 run innings even during this nightmare stretch.

We're going to need at least two solid innings from Glasnow today. Can't see Taillon going more than 5.

Could be a big turning point there. Disappointing not to get at least one, even if it was all set up with two outs. Taillon has the top of the order here. Important to put up a 0, even if he can't give us more than 5 innings.

Yeah, solid stabilizing effort for the most part. He'd easily be on pace for 6 IP if it weren't for both that HR, and Goldschmidt fouling a million balls off him in the first. One thing I still don't see in his game is the killer instinct to put guys away when he has them behind in the count with two strikes. Holding out hope that his slider + curveball will eventually help him generally be able to get more Ks.

He should start the 6th, but you know Hurdle is getting antsy to get Rodriguez in this game.

The team hates Meadows. Comes up and plays great and they lose just about every game. Having the worst game of this career so far today and they are up 5-2 late in the game.

This umpire has been f***ing horse shit all game. No consistency or sense for the strike zone at all.

Vazquez absolutely does not deserve any rope at all. He should be out of this game if Owings gets on. Not throwing strikes is the easiest possible way to lose the game.

What else is new? Vazquez can only pitch when the game isnt on the line.

Lol Hurdle.

SNL skit at this point
