Official Game Thread - 6/29 - Bucs @ Braves

[Ecbucs]

The Braves pitching is just fantastic. How do they ever lose a game?

[Doc]

Cruz PHs and is called out on a pitch clock violation for strike 3. He must have the IQ of a napkin.

He’s this team’s version of Gregory Polanco. He seems to have little understanding of what’s happening around him, of the current situation on the field. And they have him playing shortstop?!? All of them should have their baseball IQs questioned.

To no one's surprise Suwinski strikes out.

[Bobster]

Reynolds' triple extends streak.

[Doc]

We’ll, that seemed like the kind of way the Pirates would lose a game: Oliveras ruled safe at home, but the call is overturned and he’s called out, then the Braves win it in the bottom half of the inning, an inning played under beer league softball rules. So two of the things I hate most about baseball lead to the Bucs loss.

Suwinski needs to be sent to Indy as soon as possible. He is awful.

[Bobster]

The side at home by Olivares was terrible. He was going to beat the tag but he tucked his legs in so that his foot didn't get to the plate before the tag.

Pirates have now scored exactly 1 run in 5 of their past 10 games.

Wow, so the offense is starting to come around and they’re scoring more than I thought!

And now Cutch and Gonzalez won't play tomorrow in a game we really need to win because they need some rest since they haven't had a day off since THURSDAY.
