Pirates v Cardinals - this one really counts - game 1

[rucker59@gmail.com]

For the 25th time in the past month the Pirates are playing a must win game. Lose tonight and the season is over until we start the game 2 thread tomorrow.



This thread is dedicated to Jamison Tallion and all the young players that represent hope and a future. (If yesterday represented the disappointment of the present).

maybe the Bucs are not as high on Diaz as us fans.

That could be. They don't want him overexposed. They plan to trade him over the winter. I suppose that would be possible. It's also possible Hurdle just really likes the way Stewart plays the game.

Yeah, I believe Hurdle greatly values Stewart's defense. But I don't think he'll be back next year. I expect Diaz and Cervelli to catch in 2018.

Appears that the Cardinals know that with the Pirates there is no such thing as a safe lead.

They should have called up Stallings - to keep the 3 catcher theme going.
