5/26 - Cubs (former Pirate) v. Pirates (current Pirate) - 5:35

[Derwood]

Can we have another horsefeathers the closer game please? All these one-run games are stressing me out. We've already played 19 of them (most in the league)

[Schwarber Fan]

Not sure they get this one in. If so, hopefully not a stupid doubleheader tomorrow.

 

Edit: now it looks like there’s a window. Classic Pittsburgh weather!

[Schwarber Fan]

Lineup is probably gonna be pretty ugly with Willy and Hoerner out.

Still better than theirs

[muntjack]

If Williams can't get through 5 against the Pirates, it's time to move on.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ben Gamel hitting .800 in his career against the Cubs.

 

I’m sure it’s really like .240 but I don’t care.

[muntjack]

I was literally writing about how bad Bote looked on that last straight fastball down the middle.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice work all around this inning.

[Tim]

Williams having a good day so far.

 

And how about that David Bote!

[Tim]

Williams through five with six k's and only one hit against. He's also only thrown 55 pitches so far.

[d_money]

KB looking to right field before his swing, then hitting a single to right in the next pitch. Nice work.

[Schwarber Fan]

Kris Bryant is just a good baseball player. Guy can play first base like it’s his natural position.

[Bertz]

Feels like Winkler's had more juice on all his pitches the last half dozen outings or so. And that's corresponded with actually missing bats.

[Tim]

Alright...let's screw the closer

[abuck1220]

i would have given kimbrel the night off

[d_money]

Almora would’ve caught that

[Tim]

Nice of Kimbrel to spot them a runner on second to start each inning

[Tim]

lol - that's the first time I've ever seen a pitcher balk on purpose

I was thinking that too. Hopefully they go out and score 12 tomorrow.

Some things never change.

 

Not a bad thing, just hilarious how frequently they get a game in after you’ve declared the game won’t be played.

I know I do it all the time, but I should CERTAINLY know better than to try and predict Pittsburgh weather. I’ve sat through many delays in that ballpark, never once has the game been called.

I thought I had heard of someone doing that before so I looked it up and Kenley Jansen did it 2 years ago.
