WhooHoo for Kevin Kramer. Guy can hit a bit. Drives in the insurance run which ends up being the winner after Felipe gets my heart thumping really hard.

It is games like this that makes me such a big baseball fan and the Pirates in particular.
Possum, you committed a Kevin infraction (KI). Newman drove in the insurance run.

I stand corrected on which Kevin (darn NH for drafting 2 Kevins). But I loved the results no matter which Kevin did it! Go Kevins Go in 2019!

Darn NH for not allowing one of them Kevin's for being the PTBNL in a deal so you can keep track of them better.

Now we can go off topic and discuss which Kevin should have been the PTBNL! ::) ::)

Kramer and Newman is a good name combo, but I think the ChiSox have us beat.

Too bad we didn't get Watson and Crick.

Just to be safe, I would separate Burr and Hamilton. They could give new meaning to "pitchers' duel."

During our Wild Card years the Brewers were one of the big reasons why we did not win the Division. Now it appears the Pirates are going to be a big reason why the Brew Crew may not catch the Cubs for the Central Division.

This game was another example of why I hate the save rule. This was the 5th time this year Vazquez "earned" a save by giving up 1 less run than the lead he inherited. I don't think a reliever who enters with a 3 run lead and nearly blows the game by giving up 2 runs deserves a save merely for not entirely melting down. This happens with all closers on all teams. We look at their save totals and credit them with being shut down relievers when some of those saves all but lost the game. I don't believe a save should be awarded when inheriting a 3-run lead anyway. It's just way too easy. As Vazquez demonstrated, he's asked to pitch 1 inning ahead by 3 runs and serves up back to back HRs and still adds a save to his stats. Dumb rule!
