Pirates need to show patience at the plate…….figured I get this in early since my same post last night seemed to work.
You’re right, Ragster, whenever you post it.
Agree, but that might be the most improved part of their game this year. They lead MLB with an on base % of .330.
I would assume with rain in Chicago, it will be roof closed in Milwaukee.
Looking forward to a nice game overall by Alvarez. He’s going to turn it around. Big confidence game for the team tonight.
He had better. This is a pretty important game. Nervous pitcher, you think? Not theirs.
Oh most certainly. Buccos need that starter other than Cole to re-step up and provide stability moving forward. Cutch driving the ball opp field lat night also shows he’s locked in to carry this team forward. Hope he helps calm nerves too.
You called it……….
Andy, you must have had a crystal ball…or IT’S ABOUT TIME!!
Haha all luck! Let’s see it repeated again today!
Snider over Polanco again. Is Polanco hurt?
no Snider’s on fire
Yes he has a strained swing.
Lol. That was funny. El Coffee is struggling to say the least.
Hard to criticize that, unless you think we’re already playing for next year, and even then . . .
probably going with the hot hand….
Not to mention polanco is like 1-27.
Just love every time we get Gomez out. Just love it.
Ditto cryin lyin Ryan.
Reasons roster moves should have been made in July and why we should have been all in this year.
1. Martin gone next year
2. Pitchers won’t be as good (see #1)
3. Will Jhay repeat?
Jonathan Lucroy has a legitimate chance to win the NL MVP. Jonathan Lucroy
Very deserving. As would this kid who just homered – not just for the excellence of his play, but for keeping Weeks on the bench.
Petey! Moon shot!
Like Sawchik tweeted, that ball would have been out at PNC, also.
What a welcome sight.
So so so sweet to win on the road and in miller park. And in dominating fashion. Hate the brewers above all. Raise it Buccos!!!!!!
Horrible D by Snider.
Eddie V!
The Brewers’ fielding has been horrible the last game and a half. If this keeps up, the Pirates have a chance.
Beautiful. Might want to sign this Martin guy. The 1B guy shows promise, too.
Wow. If Pedro breaks out, look out….
Wow just turned TV on to see that we are in front of the Brew Crew 8-2.
Pedro is 2 for 2 with 2 home runs while playing first base. You cant move someone to a new position in the middle of the season! What is Hurdle thinking?
Ha! Good one.
Fluke?
Wow! Just turned on my phone. Pa might have to duck next ab.
Important after the big inning to get a quick 1, 2, 3… Get the Brewers back on D quickly.
Cant believe that we are asking the Reds…yes the Reds…for some help this weekend vs the Braves. Wow…
The reds have epically collapsed.
Nice to see Pedro smiling in the club house at the start of this inning. Hopefully, he can keep this going on and get on a nice 6 week hot streak.
Well, it sure is now or never for this season! GREAT to see him break out.
FYI, and not that it matters, but these are the best away announcers I’ve heard yet…well, except for Bob Brenley, but as a whole they are good…fair, they know our team, not ridiculous homers
Gomez will be a great player if he ever grows up.
Marte just put away the gun after throwing out Gomez. Down by 7 and you kill a possible scoring chance. Stimpy you eeeediot!
Gomez — wow. What a dumb, dumb play.
JHay represents what professional sports should be about : effort, excellence,and entertainment (+ $, of course).
Byrd just drove in the tying runs that GBrown mentioned. Two on no outs.
Just turned the game on. Anything happening?
Same old, same old.
No traffic on the Pirates games now that they’ve won a few, lol?
Sat night. Everyone is down at Starbucks.
That Braun is an odd looking dude…he’s got Marty Feldman eyes
He’s a Simpsons character.
LOL! Bet ‘ROIDS have something to do with that!
The past 2 nights in Milwaukee have been the best 48 hours of the Pirates’ 2014 season!
Tomorrow’s game vitally important. A win makes the series a 3 game net gain on Brewers. A loss, it’s down to one. Stating the obvious, but….
Sweep would be nice…..bring out the brooms!!!!!!
‘Bye, Ike. Younwere a nice guy.
We had family “Dr. Who” night (yes, we’re all addicted) & just kept checking the score. What a great night, especially for Petey. Broom Day, OK??
