Maybe the Nats will trade for him!

What they said was, "You don't NEED to run on Gregory Polanco!"

)))

Pirates are down 1-0 heading into the bottom of the 7th, but it feels like it might as well be 20 - 0 with respect to the team's chances to win.

Hope that I am wrong, but the losing streak could hit double digits today.

The BP has now given up more runs than the starter.

Thru 7 innings:

IP H R ER BB SO HR

De Jong 4 4 1 1 2 5 1

Bullpen 3 4 2 2 2 3 1

Remind me again why De Jong was pulled after 4 inning's, 71 pitches?

Polanco whiffs on a ball in the dirt in the opposite batters box.

About this game

a. Bucs 69 etc. guaranteed a win

b. last time the bucs lost 10 in a row was 2011

c. Todays winning pitcher is the oldest pitcher to win his first

Major League game at age 34 since 1945 when Jimmy Foxx did it

Worst part about this streak is how at the same time they aren't getting blown out they also felt in all but a couple they were out of it the moment they went diwn a couple runs.

Gamel playing better at the bat but Polanco and Tom are two serious drags.

I saw Difo cleared waivers and accepted the assignment to Indy. I guess all our confusion that he was DFA and not Tom really was pointless. Craig Difo went unwanted by 29 teams.

Friday night will be the end of the streak. If not....fireworks! From OC to PNC Park. It will be a long but wonderful day!

I’ll take a guess. Because the manager doesn’t know what he’s doing?
