They all looked happy and rested on the bench, so we got that

IDK if I can watch tomorrow's game

6 games they lost that could have all been won, and at least three of them should have been won.

OH, btw, Wick, the guy who finished it out, threw 37 pitches, pitching his 4th game in the last 6

Yet, we had to give Bednar not one but TWO days off after throwing 29 pitches

They say managers have little effect on the game. Shelton doesn't have much to work with.

But this guy manages like he's getting suggestions on twitter

Hard to believe the Pirates are now 41 games under .500 and there are still 3 other teams worse then they are. That’s truly remarkable. This 4 game series with the Cubs I think was one of the worst series of the year. The apathy with this team right now is stronger then ever.

I just shook my head and wondered WTF didn't they send in Alford at some point? 2 guys on, no outs, he's a legit HR threat. Probably fails, you can't hope for a 3 run HR.

But Perez?

This is why I hate Shelton

Did you see the shot of them in the dugout? You'd have thought it was the second inning of the first game of the season. I mean, I don't want them sitting there slitting their wrists, but it just gave the look like, "we're okay with this"

On the Bright Side Department:

If the Rangers hang to a 4 run lead, the Pirates will be the 3rd worse record.

Plus, the DBacks are tied in the later innings and the O’s have already won today.
