could have made him throw another 5 pitches to happ, but hey let’s have a bad base stealer get thrown out on the first pitch instead. 

[CubinNY]

Damn it

[ToolDRT]

Well that’s game…prob probably.

Of course after the Morel missile shot stayed in, that goes out. Gonna be one of those days

[UMFan83]

Jesus, one horsefeathers strike from getting out of it and instead it’s 3-0 Pirates

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm not sure what I expect a Connor Joe to look like, but it certainly isn't that.

Lol ok horsefeathers this game

[ToolDRT]

Steele is dealing 

[abuck1220]

3 run homers on 0-2 pitches aren’t my favorite thing

Nah it’s not game. What his face isn’t going to pitch deep into the game and the Pirates pen might suck as much as ours. Definitely a damaging blow though

[ToolDRT]

Let’s just try and stop the w for that dufus with the mustache. 

[PeanutPunch33]

LOL good game

Maybe. I just don’t trust this offense. It showed up yesterday so I’d assume it’s on a long weekend now. 

[ToolDRT]

Hard to expect Steele to struggle against this lineup.

They’ve actually done really nice today imo. Got a walk in the first, Morel hits one that’s at least an XBH most days, loaded the bases in the 2nd, got a solid hit in the 3rd. I think the offense is starting to turn it around but we’ll see. 
 

[ToolDRT]

Don’t show Prior. It still hurts.

I want you to be extremely right and me to be wildly wrong! But yeah, I wouldn’t say they’ve looked overmatched (minus Suzuki), so hopefully they can chip away. 

[ToolDRT]

Nico! Chip away boys, chip away.

That’s how you respond to being plunked the last time up 

[muntjack]

Wow.  This ump is giving everything to Skenes that he isn't giving to Steele.

[ToolDRT]

Really need Busch to get going again.

He didn't get the calls Skenes is getting and hung sliders that even a ****** Pirates lineup is going to hit.  Tell you what, I'd rather look at the LSU gymnast than that sleepy-eyed horsefeathers.

I think the crowd is playing into that. Doesn’t want to be the villain today. 

[ToolDRT]

Miles again lol
