Hamilton steals 3rd base from the on deck circle. The guy is good!

Braves are rushing Cardinals and the Pirates are wasting the great opportunity.

Need Cole to be better then this today especially this late in the season against a bad team when you're trying to get a sweep. This is an extremely frustrating game. Our offense sucks today too and we miss Polanco in this lineup big time. Still hate that Jaso has played every game this series. Goes to show you he isn't going anywhere.

If the Braves hang on to this 6-0 lead and the Rockies can beat the Marlins later the Pirates could pull within 1 game of the 2nd wildcard. So you're right VA huge huge huge missed opportunity so far by the Pirates today.

Every Red's stolen base scored today. That's not good. Cole gave up three hits and left the game trailing 4-1.

The offense has to start hitting. Everyone is focused on the pitching, but I think the offense has let the team down more since the All Star break.

Still getting nothing out of Cutch. He has one stinkin home run since the All Star Break and that came against Seattle when the score was 7-1 in the 8th inning. Cutch is still very non-productive especially in the clutch.

I agree the offense has been bad over the last few weeks. The Reds bullpen is awful so we should get a few more decent chances to scratch out 2 or more runs.

Tired of Hughes as well coming in and screwing things up as well. He is another guy Hurdle shouldn't be using in high leverage situations.

Nice to see Hurdle is using guys like Hughes and Partch in games you need to win. You have an off day tomorrow pitch your best guys today not stiffs like this. Man is this frustrating today.
