At pitch count after 90 in the 6 inning Vogelsong gave up 2 HRs.

Hurdle should note that the objective is winning the game. Pitch count and whether a pitcher completes 6 innings are not important.

Not sure why you hate Vogelsong so much? He has been fine as a starter and should have been starting a long time ago over Nicasio.

He left the game today with the lead. As long as the bullpen doesn't blow it, the Pirates should get the win.

I'd bring in Rivero, Feliz and Watson to shut this down.

Thankfully Bastardo left the suck in LA and ended it...9 more outs to go, then we have Taillon tomorrow...gotta lock this one down

He's getting stronger. Especially with a 5-2 lead I think Ryan should pitch on.

On the other hand....LOL!

Don't question my synical views VA! They never fail!

;D

Beautiful hit and run with Josh and Jordy! 1st and 3rd and no outs. Cutch at the plate. JHay dancing at 3rd. Literally!

Cutch comes through, thanks to a drawn in infield. ;D

Cutch delivers huge RBI single. 6-4.

After 90 pitches in the 6 inning Vogelsong gives up 2 HR.

Hurdle should know that pitch count and innings are only a guide.

He should pull Vogelsong earlier.

Everyone have one at least one hit except the pitcher.

The ump really bailed that pitcher out of the inning with those strike calls to Kang and Cervelli. I didn't think he had been calling those for most of the game.
