I also don't like the way McG receives the ball. If the pitch is a bit low, McG pulls it up dramatically.
McGuire has a mess on his hands.It's a tied game if McGuire squeezes strike three and we're all feeling better about the world.
Literally nobody?What the hell. Who was it that said our pitching has been great so far?
This time as a way to divert blame.I think it’s time to bring back the “he’s the ace” t-shirts
The opposition.What the hell. Who was it that said our pitching has been great so far?
I saw him play for high-A Altoona on a baseball roadtrip. None of my party had heard of him, but we saw him go 2/4 with a ringing double and a beautiful sliding play in CF and nicknamed him "McClutchen."I saw McCutcheon CRUSH a golfball a few years back harder and farther than anyone I have ever seen. It was freaking LOUD.
Needs more practice with his hands.It's a tied game if McGuire squeezes strike three and we're all feeling better about the world.
Bello and Whitlock better be great right away.There is not one pitcher on this roster who you should expect to step in and be like "I will stop a losing streak"
That should trouble people.
There isn't a pitcher on this roster who I expect to give me 5 innings of 3 run ball right now, nevermind play the role of a stopper.There is not one pitcher on this roster who you should expect to step in and be like "I will stop a losing streak"
That should trouble people.
Perk of being out of market. Pirates broadcast is pretty good.The booth has been as brutal as the pitching as well. Goodness.
Maybe we should give Sale another start before drawing conclusions? Those Bello and Whitlock guys are pretty good.There is not one pitcher on this roster who you should expect to step in and be like "I will stop a losing streak"
That should trouble people.
Even if Whitlock and Bello come back and are good, the team is still short 1 top-line starter and 1 guy who is at least reliable. Obviously not easy to just acquire one of the former but either they have to figure it out or Sale has to figure it out.There is not one pitcher on this roster who you should expect to step in and be like "I will stop a losing streak"
That should trouble people.
But if you can't draw wild shoot from the hip conclusions on a GT what fun is the GT?Maybe we should give Sale another start before drawing conclusions? Those Bello and Whitlock guys are pretty good.
I think they were just mystified by the young woman giving popcorn (?) to the Pirate first baseman.Don't think I loved the broadcast lingering on the young ladies looking at their phones. The vibes are way, way off here.
Except he has reportedly come very close to signing an extension there.Reynolds is playing like a man who wants to get the hell out of Pittsburgh as soon as possible. Pumping that trade value.
Chris Sale hasn't been good in like 5 years. My conclusion on that giant baby been drawn.Maybe we should give Sale another start before drawing conclusions? Those Bello and Whitlock guys are pretty good.
