Good Cole shows up tonite. Got to see his friend Tallion have a good game and a win. So that gets him in a good frame of mind for today. Bucs get him some early runs too .Bucs win 6-3

I assume the Stanley Cup will be there tonight too. That should be the best motivation to start winning.

+1

I know that Freese has often contributed, but every time I see a Pirate line-up I think of how much different it could be if Kang was hitting clean-up and hitting like he was in 2015 before the Cubs took him out.



Hoping that Cole rediscovers his ability to be a good pitcher. Bucs sure could use a run of 4 wins in a row after the debacles in Baltimore.

It certainly hasn't motivated Bob Nutting.

Nutting would be selling it on Ebay.

Why is Jerry Meals allowed to umpire games?

Unreal he didn't ask for help. I didn't know he was from Butler. He made one of the worst calls in baseball history and got rewarded with special games.

1st inning, usually a killer for Cole, is very easy.

2nd inning more of the same.



Total pitches below 30.



Gotta be encouraged.
