Steals 2B and scores off of Freese's double.

Steal could become play of the game...

Nope, Kang swings and heads back to the dugout

7-4 Brewers now. This one starting to slip away. Hopefully this was the last we see Locke tonight. Need Frankie to pitch well tomorrow. Gotta at least take this series.

I hate Locke so much like now...the 37 games against bums in the second half was a big theme for this team...well thanks to throwing our 8th best starter, we're gunna start that stretch 1-1...

Management right now with the Pirates is simply not giving them the best chance to win right now. Bell should be up here in some role helping the team and he isn't, and either Glasnow or Kuhl should be pitching consistently every 5th day over Jeff Locke. I really don't know what they are trying to do or what they are thinking.

Maybe they are thinking about 2016 and 2017.

They should be thinking about winning now and trying to make the playoffs instead of worrying about next season. The opportunity for the Pirates is there for them again to make the playoffs and you can't take it for granted.

Another 0 for 4 night for Cutch. They can't continue to bat him 3rd much longer if he continues to struggle and look like crap at the plate.

Jaso is quietly starting to look more and more useless as the games go on. Time to move him and call Bell up to play 1st.

Cards moving closer to sweeping DH from Padres

Big opportunity missed by the Pirates tonight with the Mets, Marlins and Dodgers all losing. Gotta be able to take advantage of things like this if you're the Pirates if you hope to make the playoffs.
