I think the most depressing moment of the season so far is seeing VanMeter's name in the lineup after the TDL.

[Bobster21]

Got thru the entire first inning without Brown and Walk trying to be funny. They actually focused on the game! Maybe they're not feeling well.

[Bobster21]

Amazing! Gamel wasn't running on contact against the drawn in infield. Has Shelton learned you're not supposed to give the other team a gift?

Why is Madris not playing 1B, and why hasn’t VanMeter been DFA’ed and replaced by Suwinski?

[Bobster21]

Runner at 3B and no outs. No one expected them to score.

[2drfischer@gmail.c]

F’ing Kolten Wong with two hits already. Can anyone be surprised?

[gileszee]

Another at bat by Cruz where he takes a called third strike, ball is basically right down the middle. What are these coaches teaching these players? Can we get a real hitting coach, before this one f**ks up all the kids with this bs philosophy of taking so many strikes so that you get the opposing pitchers pitch count up to get him out of the game early? This is totally ludicrous.

[Bobster21]

Well, there goes the Pirates hopes of a 0-0 tie.
