It's Sunday. Hurdle can't help himself.

I find Marvel's pre-pitch arm movements somewhat annoying and unsettling. I hope Cardinal hitters feel the same way.

He is doing better so far than I expected.

A shame the Bucs can't solve Flaherty!

Marvel 74

Rios 71

Wang 78

Ramirez 70

Is this the offensive line or today's pitching lineup?

In some ways a nice debut, but certainly a disappointing outcome.

Glad to see that Clint is getting Bell a good rest before the playoff push.

I hope he's not injured, because what else would explain that he wasn't available to pinch hit?

It's Sunday. Clint likes to rest players on Sunday. Clint prioritizes rest over everything else. He's elated that the Pirates don't have to play extra games in the post season.
