Well, we know Crowe will probably give up 3-5 runs, might as well get one of them out of the way.

And there goes the lead in two swings

Block bringing up Bednar getting two days off. I wonder was that a sideways swipe at Shelton? His voice seemed to indicate some incredulity about that decision

Crowe leads off with a double. If they can't score him, it's an epic failure

Good to see Hayes back in the lineup

Don't understand Alford not in the lineup.

Why is Tucker even on the roster?

Hayes hits a double off the wall, but Crowe can't score as he had to hold in case it was caught.

If they can't score both these guys, it's an epic fail

Crowe's double was the hardest hit ball by a pitcher this year not named Shohei Ohtani

Yoshi walks to load the bases. If the Pirates can't score a crooked number this inning, they should have to take an uber back to Pittsburgh

It sure makes David Ross look like a fool for playing Swindell again today. What’s he thinking?

They got rid of Erik Gonzalez making 1.2 million. They got ride of Crick making $800,000. They got rid of Tom, Craig, Nogowski, Stokes, Fowler and they were all LMGs.
