Just a shame, Brubaker battled to get through 6, Suwinski's heroics, just feels like we got robbed of one. But the Rays were tattooing the baseball all day, and put guys on for free, don't field the ball,
loss

Bednar also stole a W from Brubaker.
Need a long outing tomorrow by Contreras. Crowe, DeJong, Bednar probably not available.

two gut punch games in a row, last night it was Suwinski and Reynolds choking, today Bednar
I know you don’t want to hear it but this is better than the losses that were coming in the first couple of months, when the team wasn’t nearly as competitive as it seems to be now. Earlier in the season, I rarely gave the team a chance to win that day’s game. I feel differently now.

I'm loving it. The Pirates have played the most games decided by 2 runs or less in the majors. We wanted to see them compete, and they are. It's been a wild ride so far, loving it because it's got a vibe similar to 2011, though I know we won't see first place in July before Collapse I happened. I love how they never quit, the young guys are making it happen.
I know someone will point to the run differential that's the result of a couple extraordinary blowouts, because that's all they do.
Day after day, night after night, the Pirates are in the game, and it makes it exciting to watch.
BTW, I still love Bednar, he can't win them all.

Lately, I have noticed that a few posters have been
down on Suwinski. Everyone is entitled to their own
opinions. That's what makes the OBN. Yes, he strikes out a lot.
However, he currently is tied with Reynolds with 12 which
leads the team. He is on pace to hit 25-30. He plays a good OF.
How about that catch today? Some have said he should be sent down. I don't believe so. Supposedly, he has the best coaches here. If he plays almost everyday, he can work with a Major League hitting coach. Remember, he hasn't been up here that long. I believe 10 weeks.
Don't know how old some of you are but in the early 60's the Pirates had a 1st Baseman named Dick Stuart. He was so bad defensively he was call ed Dr. StrangeGlove. Big HR hitter. Here are some of his stats Games played 1,112 HR 228 RBI 743
SO 957. Was a fan favorite. I usually don't ramble like this but
let's be a little patient. He is only a young rookie

Extraordinary blowout losses (I deem these losses by 9 or more)
4/7 9-0 Cards
4/23 21-0 Cubs (which btw, a certain poster still talks about, but not the 3 out of 4 the Pirates won in the series)
5/10 11-1 Dodgers (only game the Pirates lost to them this season)
5/16 9-0 Cubs
5/22 18-4 Cardinals
A minus 63 in 5 games. The other 66 games they are a minus 34. Doesn't take a genius to see this team competes. I didn't even include a 7-0 loss, a 9-1 loss, and a 10-4 loss.
They'll only get better. This team is making the playoffs (as I have been predicting) in 2023.

He didn't go to the beach and come back though, he was there the whole time.
So to summarize: I can't be cleaning my basement during the game (it used to be mowing the lawn was the jinx), you can't go to the beach and come back before the game is over. We need to keep tallying the jinx's, so when the time comes they're in the world series, we don't do any of that stuff.
