Pirates 2, Red Sox 2, nine innings

After 2 weeks in Bradenton, I'm interested to hear DK's prediction for this season's final record.

Pirates

1. Jose Tabata RF

2. Neil Walker 2B

3. Starling Marte CF

4. Corey Hart 1B

5. Francisco Cervelli C

6. Sean Rodriguez 3B

7. Gorkys Hernandez LF

8. Gustavo Nunez SS

9. Francisco Liriano LHP

Also scheduled to pitch: Tony Watson, Antonio Bastardo, Mark Melancon, Stolmy Pimentel and Deolis Guerra.

I'm around 85-77 right now. If they get some consistent play at C, Pedro bounces back, and Cole takes another step, maybe closer to 90.

too early to make predictions, except WS predictions by Buster Olney. Is he a Bucs fan? LOL

Seriously putting a number out there is superfluous. But I did drop a c-note on the over-under which was at 83.5. Easy money

162-0 seems reasonable and very doable!

Nice throw by Cervelli.

Sox radio very critical of Cervelli. Based on what they saw with NY, they don't think he is a everyday catcher.

After game hope DK can get some inside info on Kang, scratched from today's lineup and now word is he did not participate in pre-game drills and will not talk to media the rest of camp

Are the walks a concern?

What's Liriano's velocity today?

Suicide squeeze. For the Pirates bunting, no small feat.

Bastardo really lives down in the strike zone.
