Welcome back, Francisco Liriano.

more poor defense.


Watson with the poor throw on the potential easy DP. Instead , no outs.

Edit: Watson gets the next 3 batters out without a run scoring.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Joe Blockhead has no idea about baseball strategy

 

[td_ice]

Melancon trying to right his own ship after two consecutive blown saves.

 

[td_ice]

How bout two straight sellouts, on wed and thurs. night games vs the Brewers?!? Good stuff.

Raise the jolly roger!

 

[TNT87]

That's the type of pitching we need from Liriano if the Pirates want to go back to the postseason.

 

[Penguins23]

*laugh* I check the boxscore last night when I got home and yell out "Holy F***". My wife in a panic "What's wrong?"....I was just impressed at Lirano's 13Ks 0BBs.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

13 Ks and 0 BBs isn't even vintage Liriano, that's just a stunning number for any pitcher.

That 0 BB number is way more impressive than the 13 Ks given the way his season has gone.

Some of that has to do with it being faith night on Wednesday and fireworks night yesterday, but still good to see.

Bad for me because I want to see more baseball games.

Haha.....ok, that makes sense.

Gotta do something to increase an awful weekday draw like Milwaukee.

But still a good sign.

I get these charity nights help a lot of people, but they have turned into a 3 hour charity event with a baseball game on in the background.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

There goes the no hitter

 

[td_ice]

Mercer with the tremendous defensive play.


Edit: Phillies with one of their own. Herrera with an outstanding catch in center to rob Kang of a likely double.

Yeah, it all feels very desperate...which it doesn't need to be because we all know these will sell out before the game is over.

I'm glad they have them, but you gotta call the damn game too.

 

[td_ice]

Cole with some very unlucky plays tonight.

Had a weak grounder to "normal" 2b territory that was a hit due to shift.

Ball hits first base and bounces for a hit. Jaso was guarding line and would have likely had the out.

Phillie batter turns his body into the pitch and gets a HBP.

 

[td_ice]

Good job by Cole to get out of that with only one run scored.

 

[TNT87]

Cole did a good job of getting out of it with minimum damage. Lets go offense.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

This guy is gonna pitch a complete game shutout

 

[td_ice]

Cutch trouble reading that didn't take the best route to the ball. Ends up a double. Costs us a run as next batter singles, instead of inning over.

 

[td_ice]

Come on Lerch.

Hughes, one batter and he walks him.

Hughes out, Niese in.

Niese gets it done.

 

[TNT87]

Kang's average continues to plummet. Hasn't had a two-hit game since June 19. Has only two RBI since June 26.

 

[td_ice]

Bleeh.


4-0 now.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Rupp put a good swing on that one

 

[Gunnar Staal]

Glasnow and Elias Diaz were officially recalled today. Schugel sent down and Eric Fryer to the Paternity List.

Apparently, Fryer's wife is having twins. Congrats to him.

 

[djt153]

glasnow probably going to be a star but he definitely needs a lot of polish
