Wilson starts off single stolen base double but recovers to keep it at 1 run.

Matz injured on his 4th pitch, Cards go to pen

I watched the game on Youtube because it was free and I didn't have to sign up for anything.

$4.95 for a single game on a service I will not end up subscribing to? Pass.

If you pay the $4.95 can you demand your money back by the 2nd inning?

Glad I'm not watching this one.

As long as the Pirates enter the season with LITERALLY NO INTENTION of building a starting rotation of players who have no business being in a starting rotation, the result will be something like 60-102.

This team has massive problems and holes and weaknesses all over the place, but none of them is more glaring than starting a pitcher every time out that really has no business being a starting pitcher.

The massive problem is Cherington.

Two of the five starters from the beginning of the season, Wilson and Keller, have failed miserably. Brubaker and Thompson have shown some signs of life, but they are not dependable. Quintana has been the lone bright spot, but I could see him sliding into the darkness like Ivan Nova did in 2018.

Peters, on the other hand, has performed well when he has started (except for the 1 inning blow-out). I am not suggesting that Peters is the be all and end all of starters, but his pitching this year suggests that he is at least a better option than Wilson.

Just checked the score and I too am glad that I am not watching this game.

I am also a bit miffed that I pay for the DirecTV baseball package and this is the 3rd of the last 4 Pirate games that have not been broadcast because MLB is looking to make more money by broadcasting games through alternative sources.

18-0 now as VanMeter is pitching. This is flat out inexcusable that a team can lose a game 21-0 and 18-0 within a 30 day span and nobody loses their job.

I am listening to the game on the MLB app and I am so glad I didn't pay to see this disaster.
