I don't think anyone is willing to admit they are the Pirates' hitting coach.

Civale is very talented, the spin rate on his off speed stuff is very impressive. he has a bright future ahead of him

Trevor Williams on the broadcast, was a good listen

I still for the life of me cannot understand why Brault is not in the regular lineup as a hitter. He is better than anyone we have in the lineup

I would DH Brault. This team has no hitting. Osuna hadn't played in 2.5 weeks but he has more hits than Polanco.



And it's so discouraging to see Brault lifted on a 2-hitter and Neverauskas replace him. Shelton is definitely McClendonesque. I didn't think I would ever see a manager as hopelessly incompetent as McClendon. But he has met his match in McShelton.

This manager has got to go just doesn't care about wining. The game is tied and he brings in Mr. Automatic for giving up runs immediately.

And in no time at all it's Neverauskas 3, Pirates 0. Who didn't see that coming? Why is this guy employed as a baseball player? What more does he have to do to prove he cannot pitch?

Ben needs more time to see what he doesn't have.

Here is what happens when Shelton goes to the bullpen:

Meanwhile Cleveland pitcher thrown 72 pitches mostly in the 70s and 80s a few 92s mixed in and our hitter look lost, lost, lost. This is such a waste of my time.
