Thompson 5 IP, 0 hits, 0 runs, 66 pitches. Will Shelton let him continue?

Crowe has not looked as sharp his last few games.

Man, that Pirate pitching sure looked good tonight. BEDNAR lights out as usual

First win this season scoring less than 4 runs. Nice to get good pitching.

I thought they were tanking, how could they have possibly won? I also thought there were two separate threads about the management and announcers. Maybe I wandered into one of them, thought this was the GDT where people talked about the game.



So much for scintillating baseball talk.

The players aren't trying to lose, it's that the management isn't trying to win. Thus the roster.

Yes, I know, you and many others, before one pitch is even thrown, make the same comments every single GDT.



That's the management thread I thought. The GDT is supposed to be about what's going on the field, not behind the scenes.



And just because a lot of you keep saying it, doesn't make it true either. They currently have a better record than nine teams, and are essentially the same as two others. That's in all of MLB.



That could change in two weeks, and they could be on the bottom of the whole shebang.



But as it stands right now, as the STANDINGS say RIGHT NOW, where do you guys get off on the "tanking" business? They're not even lottery pick level right now.
