Well, thanks to the less than stellar defensive work behind Kranick, the score is tied, the bases are loaded, the outs are zero, and the guy who was hammered last night for 4 runs is coming in.



He can't do any worse I guess.

Brown mentioned Nogowski as a possible trade candidate. Sometimes I wonder about him.

Austin Davis is obviously a plant by members of this board who want us to get swept by the D-Backs.

Show your love for him now.  Few chances remain.

You and BOB can't wait.


Second-most HRs on the club this year so far.   Already dumped Bell before the season began.  He's good for 14. 


:D ;D :D ;D :D ;D  Second most HR's!!!  He's a STAR!!!  Forget the only player on the active roster with a worse WAR is Oliva. Forget he's a NEGATIVE 11 Runs Above Average!



And no sooner do you post that, Polanco misjudges a fly ball and the game is tied again.



But he's second on the team in HR's!!!! 


I actually expect Polanco to screw-up when the ball is hit to him so I’m really never surprised when he does.

Block & Young are praising Shelton for bringing Davis in today to show support after his miserable game last night. Of course Davis walks in a run. Maybe bases loaded, 1 out, tie game isn't the best situation to show support for a pitcher with poor control.

well the Pirates think he is worth more than Crick.



I think there are a lot players, especially in the bullpen that have a good chance of being replaced next year. This is their audition and evaluation year. Hartlieb and Crick have already failed.

Joe Block wants to talk about golf now. He was going on about it and them brought Young into it by asking him if he's a golfer so they can both talk about golf.

Dude, come off it. The only person saying anything about "star" isn't me/



Let me see if I understand you: We score the fewest runs in all of MLB. We have the fewest Home Runs, too.



Yet, you're going to bang on a guy who hits them, few as they are.



Must be nice to just give them away like that. You'd think that we were winning basebeall games left and right.



It's oine thing to be a homie. This is ridiculous.

Newman truly sacrificed with one out and Stallings on first? Or was he bunting for a hit?



Sacrificing in that situation is especially stupid.

LOL....keep digging a hole dude. Do you have any clue how runs are created? This is as old as time now. Giving away HR's....you do realize Polanco would have to hit 11 more TOMORROW to even be at a ZERO level replacement player? He could hit 20 HR's right now....if he's giving away runs with his defense, what value is he?



If he were a run producer, he'd have been traded to an AL team by now.



Seriously, you and Shed love them salaries. Now it's HR. Yeah, no shinola sherlock, we need more power. But that can't come at the expense of giving away twice as much by poor defense.



I'm done with this. I cheer him when he's in the lineup, like any player. But he needs to go. Five years ago.
