What a crushing loss for the Reds! How this must hurt.

We win the series. How sweet would a sweep be tomorrow? I love being hated by the Reds fans.

Win #74

So tell me doc. Who do you dislike the most? Wong or India

That's a tough one. I think it would be whichever one we're facing at the time. They're two of the most annoying players I've ever seen. But so far in this series, it's been great fun. India has just one hit and has been a non-factor. Usually by this time, he'd have six hits, including two HRs, and seven RBIs.

Got to be kidding. I think aliens took over the BUCS at start of season, had to go back home but enjoyed it so much came back to finish season.

Man I'd kill (not really) for a whole season of this.

Sweep em BUCS!!!!!

Triolo's 4 hits raised his BA to .290. At the time he was optioned in mid-August he had the highest BA on the active roster at .273 so it's nice to see he's picked up from there and gotten even better. In 47 games for the Pirates, he hasn't gone hitless for more than 2 consecutive games and that's only happened 3 times. He also had a 13-game hitting streak in July. It's also encouraging that he's homered in 2 of his past 4 games. He hasn't put up power numbers but he did hit 15 HRs for Greensboro in 2021. So there's hope for more power at the MLB level.

Finally getting around to listening to the Pirates radio broadcast of the game. Matt Capps commented that it was early (top of the 4th) and the Pirates had the offense to come back from the 9-0 deficit. He was the first one I noticed making a very direct, distinct prediction of how they do it, chip away, and get a big inning or two.

Freaking gave me chills!
