That one chick sitting in the homeplate seats with her hair up looks like one of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz

Bednar walks Castellanos. You knew it wasn't going to be easy

[Surgnbuck]

Bednar pitching like he was hitting some IC Lights down in the pen.

Sosa flies out to center. One down

[Surgnbuck]

Wehner bringing up a great point, and why it's good to have a good color man doing color work and not comedy. He thought for sure they would have Sosa bunt, because the game means nothing, and now would be the perfect spot to do it, because he noted it always seems to come up in the playoffs that someone is asked to bunt whne they haven't done it all season.

They went on to list the most and fewest sac bunts this year. The Pirates are third. The Braves have the fewest with 2.

[Surgnbuck]

Strikes out Cave. 2 Down!!

[Surgnbuck]

Strike three!!!

Raise the Jolly Roger!!!

[Wildwoodcoach]

RAISE IT win #75
Well Surg, at least we got one
and a split of the 6 game series

Bae mishandles Castro's routine grounder, but Castro wasn't running hard, and gets thrown out.

He's not long for Philly

He is not long for anywhere

[Surgnbuck]

38 saves for Bednar this season.

Pirates end up 5-4 on the road trip facing three playoff contending teams.

Pirates end up 37-44 on the road for the season, they were 28-53 last season on the road, 24-57 on 2021.

They are 38-40 at home this season so far after posting a 34-47 record last year.

The improvement has been astronomical this season, but they still have a long ways to go.
