Outside of Collins, this is probably the best lineup available

Why didn't Shelty use it earlier? Why play guys like JVM and such so long? Are OBN members whispering in Shelty ears?

Brown and Walk are particularly annoying today. They think they have to entertain us with their steady banter and attempts to be funny. And I would find them more entertaining if they talked less about Robbie.

The imbecile pulls Ortiz at 4.2 innings in a 0-0 game because he threw 80 pitches. Now our stellar bullpen can pitch the remaining 4.1 innings. What could go wrong? ::)

Banuelos immediately gives up a walk, a HR and a double. But the imbecile doesn't care. If he was interested in winning, he wouldn't have lifted Ortiz at 80 pitches.

It's Fan Appreciation Day and the Pirates treat the game as a preseason game, not even trying to win. Might as well call it "Give the Fans the Finger Day." That's enough for me. I'm turning this garbage off.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d guess that after this recent losing streak has placed the Pirates only behind the Nationals for the worst record in baseball, there’s now a renewed effort to lose as many games as possible in order to improve their chances for a higher pick.

What an absolute disgrace for Fan Appreciation Day. There was obviously no interest in winning this game. Disgusting.
