Sure would be nice to beat these guys at least once this year. When we play then in the NLCS, we need to know we can win against them.

Would be nice to win tonight and tomorrow. Maybe a couple good starts by Musgrove and Archer.

Nice little bit of optimism slipped in there by IABucsFan.

Well, Bucs have three pitches out of the zone called strikes in the first inning, Musgrove has two pitches in the zone called balls. Electronic umps please.

Safest bet of the season: Polanco will not try to steal even one base this year.

Is there a worse base running team than the Pirates? Marte was lucky to get home in that play.

Big Joe Musgrove looking like Big Joe Musgrove tonight. Really good through 3, with only 32 pitches.

Remember the SI report on Josh at the beginning of the season, quoting unnamed sources, running him down? The one Neal was furious about - He’s a bust! He can’t hit, he can’t play 1st.

Someone needs to ask the writer about his update on Bell. Maybe the guy can get more quotes from his unnamed source?
