I don't know if I'd go that far. This just became a ballgame again, nothing to celebrate about that.

[Soul]

Crew took the lead in Cincy. runners 2nd & 3rd, only 1 out.

[Guest]

About time he got out of the inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Osoria n to pitch for Pittsburgh

[Andy]

Burton is blowing it for Cincy right now. Brewers have taken the lead in the 10th.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

The next time up look and see if you agree with me that Murts butt goes back when he swings. It was very obvious in the 1st AB. The one that he blistered to LaRoche you can see him do it too in the robo cam view.

 

Do I even want to ask why you were taking a particular interest in Murton's butt?

 

Because if he is moving backwards with his butt in his swing it means that he is swinging with just the upper body. Which may be a leading reason that Murt tops so many balls into the ground and his power numbers arent quite like what would be expected.

[Brian]

I like our bullpen versus theirs.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Len had it right, watching that was like watching Dempster trying to wiggle out of the 9th in years past.

[Brian]

Demp has a batting helmet on.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto singled to left field

[Andy]

Geovany Soto

[SABR Gamer]

Demp looks pissed....lol

 

 

and

 

 

Geovany Soto

[Soul]

Soto just owns the Pirates. It's really quite amazing.

[Flames24Rulz]

What the hell are you doing Lou? This is mindless.

Fontenot's jumping into the on-deck circle.
