That was funny but actually he is highly respected in the history of Wildwood HS. The Gym is named after him. He brought Championships to a school with small student population.

Bae's splits are better against lefties, though I don't think that this is the case. I think he's giving his hand a day off, he got banged around a bit. This is a game the Pirates should win, and it's a good one to give Castro some more AB's against righties.

Either that or he's just doing it to spite you.

Big game for Keller. His last 2 games have not been very good. He needs to reversed that trend.

Castro had a rare hit vs a RHP last night. Shelton probably wanted to put him right back in tonight against another RHP to see if last night was a fluke or not. Not a bad idea.

One of the guys on the Fan morning show predicted a no-hitter.

Shelton said on his show the game against the Mariners was a bad one, but the one against the Giants just a victim of weak contact.
