Game Thread 5/8/2022 Pirates vs. Reds

[Bobster21]

Had to switch to Reds broadcast. They are actually focused on the game. And the camera is actually showing the game instead of the broadcasters. And the broadcasters are actually discussing the games instead of joking around with each other. Imagine that!

I think they're trying to get under your skin. I honestly can tune out the blather for any broadcast, what I hate is when they have an in game session like they had with the Fort. Do that at the beginning of an inning or during a pitching change, don't cut away from any of the action.

Dang Chavis

[Bobster21]

Chavis makes a good stop and then Pedros the ball to 1B for a 2-base error.

[Surgnbuck]

So we have two starting pitchers who started the game with obscene ERA's, and each has allowed one hit.



Fortunately for us, ours was a HR with a man on.

[Surgnbuck]

Perez draws a walk. He's having a game.



Who has Tucker in the HR pool today?

[Surgnbuck]

Well, Gamel sure has come crashing back to earth

[Surgnbuck]

Well, can Thompson get through the bottom of the fifth, and still have a lead to boot?



Can the Pirates pour it on and get him some more runs?



Can we get a starter their first victory of the season?

[Surgnbuck]

5 complete for Zach, no runs.



Let's get him some, because you know Sheltie is ready to go to the pen

[Surgnbuck]

Every time Reynolds has a game you think he's about ready to get going, he takes a step back
