Great. Bednar gives up a HR.

I would like to have seen Keller start the 9th.

He's been outstanding tonight.

Gotta do a fact check on the Elroy Face interview and follow up comments by Block and Wehner (and Blass). Face was not the first "closer." He was never used in the way that closers are used. I think Face may have meant "relief specialist." But his 1960-61 teammate Clem Labine was...

The old "run-to-2B-and-stop-to-get-in-a-rundown-so-the-runner-at-3B-can-score" play. Works about .00000000001% of the time.

No one with a job in professional baseball would have fielded that lineup and expected to win.

Pirates lose a game that the lineup suggests they didn't want to win anyway.

Nope. It's Hatch.

just got home from team trivia and put the game on. Pleased to see a 3-3 tie despite the shocking lineup. Let's win it!

Maybe Lloyd McClendon will send them champagne.
