First 2 pitches to Carroll ... the ball is completly in the strike zone and both called balls . Have to take these umps out of the game . That walk was brutal. As bad as Holderman is , 100 on the outside corner isn't a bad pitch.

Why did the Bucs trade for Beeks and then not use him against lefty Peterson? We have been Sheltoned once again

Unless the Bucs rally, I feel that the postseason dream is disappearing. The Padres own the Bucs in Pittsburgh and then we travel to LA

Holderman needs to go on the DL so he can get his head examined by the sports psychologist.

Whatever level of talent they have, the Pirates will never play up to their potential with Shelton. He will always be an obstacle to winning.

Holderman's ERA since June 23 (scored upon in 7 of 15 games): 7.54.
Holderman's ERA since July 28 (scored upon in 4 straight games): 18.92.

Grandal singles in the 9th and leaves holding his hamstring. Then IKF pops up a bunt. He fits right in.

Reynolds singles home Cutch. 6-5. Runners at 1st and 3rd.

Unacceptable. Two on with no outs. We score only one. I thought that Kiner -Falefa might bring a winning attitude. Nope. Pops up the bunt. Then the only professional hitter in the system singles. One out. Runners at corners. K by head case. Can’t win with this guy. Can’t. I’d rather have Tim Foli at short than this ball of talent. I’m fed up.
