Maybe the disaster this road trip has been will speed up the parting of ways with Vogelbach and the other veterans who have no future here.  I hope so.  Losing 95 games with those vets or 105 games with rookies is really no different in this one final year of rebuilding.  In fact, it would be beneficial in the long run as it gives the young guys a head start on moving toward being competitive.
Exactly.

The Pirates will never not be building.



These LMGs will be replaced by future LMGs.

That play really hurt :-[

Reynolds give the Bucs the lead back! Two out lightning, Marcano single, Bryan blast!

Reynolds just keeps on hitting. 2-run HR. 6-4 Bucs.

Gotta really like the guy !!

Guess Reynolds is looking ahead to his Bobble Head Night

Bednar going for a Rollie Fingers kind of save? I don't think he's going to go 2 2/3 of an inning. Not sure about who's freshest.



Possible DeJong or De Los Santos save?

Defense is wearing our pitchers down
