Padres are starting lefty Friedrich. He's terrible.

In his last 7 starts, he's 0-5 with a 6.19 ERA.

I am fully prepared for him to throw at least 5 shutout innings this afternoon.

If the Pirates win today (BIG IF), they will finish their "easy" stretch at 9-9.

And the next 19 games are most definitely NOT easy. The next 19 could bury the Pirates completely if they don't get their act together.

Freese with 2 big RBI so far, and Taillon with a pretty efficient 4 IP with no runs. 3-0 Pirates

So typical of this team...one night they nearly get no hit by a bum like Jackson...the next day they look like a team that could make a run.

So up and down...it's a painful ride...

What happened to Cervelli? Anyone know?

Terrible base running. We look like the Washington Generals of MLB.

Harrison completely killed that one with not one, but two terrible decisions on the bases

He got banged up last night during the game. Wrist.
