Alright, Oniel, stick it in my face. Big two out hit.

Bucs add on three runs in the ninth. Good way to end the Break.

Bednar strikes out Joe on three pitches.  One out.

Diaz with a double. It’s never easy.

Blackmon lines into a double play to end it. Bednar, throwing just seven pitches, won’t need to shower.

Raise it- good way to finish before the All Star break

Interesting inning for Bednar. Strikes out Joe on 3 pitches, gets smoked for a long double by Diaz and gets smoked by Blackmon with a shot down the line. But Chavis snags it and throws to 2B for the DP. Just a 3-batter scoreless inning featuring an impressive K and 2 well hit shots.

Raise it- anxious to see who goes in the next two weeks

I called it! The Slumber Company woke up!

One more comment on the Rockies' broadcast. Today's broadcast was high quality like yesterday's, except for one thing. They spent a half inning focusing on their version of Robbie bringing ice cream to the booth while the camera spent too much time on that. However, it was the only time I saw the announcers on camera. It was interesting that the camera angle in the booth was identical to the angle in the Pirates booth. Both are productions of AT&T SportsNet, which apparently has a standard angle for the booth camera and possibly even suggests the food in the booth segments. And I guess if you are produced by AT&T SportsNet, you have to have a Robbie. At least that was the only annoying segment of the Rockies broadcast.
