OnlyBucs

Bucs down in order in the 2nd.

Falter pitches out of a bases loaded, one out situation. The Cardinals stink like us. No score after two.

The Bucs three batters in the third manage to get one ball as far as a few feet beyond the pitcher’s mound. Can’t we get a hitter who can, you know, hit?

Arenado continues to beat up on Pirates pitching, doubling home Goldschmidt. 1-0 Cardinals through three.

Bucs can’t respond, go down in order again. I sure type that a lot. StL 1 Pirates 0 midway through four.

Three singles to start the 4th get the Cardinals their second run.

A bunt single loads the bases, still nobody out.

Force out scores another run. 3-0 Birds.

Double play ends the death by a thousand cuts 4th inning. Cards lead 3-0. Seems insurmountable the way the Bucs are swinging the bats tonight.

Gonzales starts the 5th with a double. Get him over and get him in. Chip away.
