Official Game Thread - 7/24 - Bucs @ Padres

Pirates go in order for the first time tonight.

Holderman coming on to give Priester the win.

Which, btw, because baseball has so many useless "facts" he would be the first Pirate to win his first game in two or less starts against a pitcher with more than 250 career starts since Steve Blass won his first start against Don Drysdale.

And aren't you that much better knowing that? I hate when they pass that stuff on during the broadcast, it's much more fun to make fun of it when they put that kind of stuff up on the scoreboard during the game

Okay Colin, a no drama 1-2-3 please.

Looking at the 40 man roster, I'm guessing Castro is on his way back to the team

One down!

Matt Carpenter to PH. He's owned the Bucs so much, I wouldn't be surprised if he hit a bases empty 4 run HR right here

Nothing sadder than a two strike pitch that everyone in the stadium, to include the batter getting ready to head back to the dugout, thinks is a strike except for the home plate umpire.

But Holderman gets him on the next pitch.

Two down!!

Kind of a subdued celebration by the Pirates
