Time to bring up Priester and unload Dick Mountain

Can Reynolds wake up here?

Maybe Reynolds should complain about his back hurting. He's still not helping us out much.



Then again, if we can score 8 more runs, he'll hit a HR when the issue is decided.



Reynolds and Cutch are cock blocking the offense today

He's been getting worse as the season has progressed. I honestly wish they'd bring Priester up and use Hill out of the bullpen, but that won't happen


If the Deadline comes and goes, and BC wasn’t able to find a trade partner for Hill, the best thing to do is release him and bring up Priester. It would serve a similar purpose as a trade.

They won't get much for Hill and their rotation is too thin as it is. Priester should replace Bido. Let Hill walk after the season.

They have a 99 year old WWII vet who was in the second wave at Normandy, fought the Battle of the Bulge, his wife of 76 years is out there with him being recognized in the bottom of the 7th, got a tear in my eye, and if the Pirates don't come back and win this, I'm going to be quite unhappy

Yea. a hit. off a schlub. We should be murdering this guy

Too late now. They can match their bullpen, and have Williams completely rested.



Going to take a semi-miracle to pull this one out. Bucs wasted their chances early on, and of course, Rich Hill just couldn't stand prosperity with his BB-HBP-3 run HR momentum sapper.

Joe to PH for Suwinski with the lefty RP coming on

flies out on the first pitch. Bucs have really been helping out today. They're playing like the plane won't wait for them. Usually they're taking tons of pitches, but why not today?
