Instead, the crowd saw Skenes lose, the Pirates fail to score, Cruz unhustle a double into a single, Canario make a throw from centerfield that barely got past the infield dirt, and Valdez attempting a needless triple to start the ninth inning trailing by three runs, resulting in a needless out. I don’t think the crowd was impressed with what they saw today. Maybe that’s why they were chanting “sell the team.”

Well, at least he didn’t slide into third with his phone spilling out of his pocket. They’re getting better, Bobster, they’re getting better.

I think if the Guardians third baseman had been eating sunflower seeds during the play, Valdez might have been safe.

The organization is building a legacy of not being able to do anything right.

have been called out. Regardless, when you have Skeenes pitching against
at best an average pitcher, you should win the game

Hayes has worked a full count. The umpire rings up Hayes on a pitch that was easily a foot outside! You cannot be that bad ump!!!!!! We would have had the bases loaded with no outs. The next batter Valdez walked which would have brought in the tying run still with no outs. Even if Pham hits into a DP the go ahead run would have scored. The whole game changed on that one pitch. I’m extremely pissed that what should have been a Pirate victory was taken away from us.
The only positive after that loss is that Valdez has been crushing the ball the past few games.
