<t>Like many, I was cheated out of an opportunity to watch this game because of AppleTV. I was trying to feed my addiction to baseball by watching other games and by checking in on the score on the Pirates Official Site. The game tracker on the Official Site was close to worthless, but I saw that th...

<t>Great to sweep the Padres.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> And, after watching Triolo at 3rd in this series, Hayes better pick it up with the stick, because Triolo appears to be his match with a glove.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The pen pitched 4.33 innings without giving up a run, including 4 outs from Ryan ...

<t>If the Bucs continue to flounder (lately a complete flop) prior to the All-Star game, and fall out of any dreams of contention, management should again implement a make-over with the goal of contending in 2024. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> My thoughts:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> 1) Dump Hedges. Catcher is...

Two hits. A single and a double. 9 losses in a row and not much to feel positive about with the Marlins next on the schedule.

<t>Well --- 8 - 3 as we enter the bottom of the 8th. Bucs score 2 in the bottom of the 7th, but give them right back in the top of the 8th. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Looks to be another deflating day. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Teams, once again, appear that they will soon relish the opportunity to play ...

An oddity. Both teams have more runs than hits. Unfortunately, the Cubs still have a 3 run lead heading into the 8th.

Update. 5 innings. 1 hit. Even less encouraging.

4 innings. 1 hit. Not encouraging.

Good to finally score a run.



Bad that none of Davis, Mitchell, and Castro can get Palacios home from 2nd with none out.



That said, a lead is a lead, even if it is only 1-0.
