BDLC is not endearing himself to Pirate Fans
Looks like the RH version of Jack Suwinski

4-0 Dodgers after 8. Heller gets them out of a jam.

This team is not only terrible but they are unlucky to boot. And who the heck is that turd in RF ?

[JollyRoger8]

Did we really bring back Heller from the dumpster?????
I’m speechless. The best we can do is bring back a guy with an ERA of 49!!!!

He shaved his ERA in half. He's been the best pitcher the last two nights. Our so called all stars were the dumpster fires

Hayes with a HR - 4-1.

And that's the final score. Six losses in a row.

[Surgnbuck]

amazes me how many middle middle pitches this team lets go by, and then swing at stuff way out of the zone

[Surgnbuck]

6 in a row now. Seems every season they have a long losing streak in them.

Yeah, this isn't 2012 all over, this is 2011.

On August 3rd this year, the Pirates stood at 56-54. They are now 56-60.
On August 3rd in 2011, they stood at 54-55. On August 10th, they were 56-60.

For those who need a reminder, the Pirates finished 72-90 in 2011, going 16-30 the rest of the way.

Once again, a huge bother of mine is umpires missing an easy call that requires replay, that shouldn't require replay. I swear the pick off of Taylor, the first base ump wasn't paying attention, and just threw a call out there because he knew if it was wrong, there would be a challenge. I called him out watching it live.

I just checked the Season Prediction Thread. The closest to 72--90 is Bucs607179 at 74-88
