Dang, hurt to watch that called third strike on Allen. Castro is far from perfect, but, that guy goes to the plate to hit. I felt the same about Peugero when he was here. Their kind of like Manny or Rennie—-swing the damn bat.

Wood was a tough assignment today. To get three runs off him isn’t too bad. Let’s find a way to win this thing.

I like Holderman. Show some fire. And he was right… it was a strike.

<r>This minor leaguer accomplished something I had never heard of: The Home Run Cycle. And he did it against the Sod Poodles.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <URL url="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/cardinals-prospect-hits-for-extremely-rare-home-run-cycle/ar-AA10yITV?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvi...

What an incredible list of inductees. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Sad, but as things currently stand, it is hard to imagine a 21st Century Pirate player being able to amass credentials (in six years or less) that would justify "enshrinement". <br/> <br/> <br/...

Hayes with the HR. That changed call results in 4 runs now.

<t>In my mind Allen deserves credit for instinctive base running today. But I don’t really know what the Baltimore catcher was supposed to do on that play? I didn’t view him as trying to block the plate as much as he was just positioning himself to catch the ball. The Bucs have been on the other sid...
