After making two appearances out of the bullpen, Andre Jackson will start for the Pirates as they look to win game two of their weekend set against the Reds.
Shelton says "Offensively, we can’t get picked off first,” Shelton said. “We have to get a bunt down. Those are the things that stand out the most. Runner at second base in the eighth and we’re the home team, we have to score a run."
Question sportswriters never ask... "your club seems to fail regularly getting bunts down and bring guys in who are in scoring position with nobody out Derek. How often to your guys practice these situational plays".
A little defense wouldn’t hurt. You know, like catching the ball. That second run and any that might come after are squarely on playing a catcher in right field.

Damn.
Damn
son of a damn
Pop up single to 2nd base according to game day. In my head I’m picturing another Davis/Triolo miscommunication! Tell me it was unwatchable?
Bido basically sawed off the hitter high and in, just out of Triolo's reach. Davis had no shot at it.
Bido jammed him and it just doinked between them. No miscommunication this time lol
Alright i guess its osvaldo indefinitely then
I should turn on the game to watch Reynolds' walk-off homer...
What's crazy is that I'll never know if I jinxed him by typing this out or by not turning on the game to watch
He was never close to diaz, i think you are safe on this one lol
Nice pitch sequencing and execution there, Mr. Selby.
Forgot selby existed, so now we are probably out of pitching lol
According to game day- Shelby is getting squeezed badly. Anyone watching on TV? Is it as bad as it looks online?
One obvious miss on the first strike three.
Definitely missed strike 3 in the last inning
That inning was really something.
I applaud this move from whomever is managing.
would be happy to hear Rabelo was named the manager for the rest of the year
Ah, no. He's Shelton lite!
Buck Farmer has a career 5 ERA and 1.44 WHIP.
He's now in his 10th year in MLB.
He's made $6.5 million.
Nice job if you can get it.
if i never see a bunt again in my life that would be great thanks
Alternatively, every player in the lineup should be able to lay down a simple sac bunt
not a fan of giving away outs
I hear ya. Peggy’s was one of the few times i was in favor
It's hard to get a bunt down and get good launch angle....
I dont love bunting peggy there, especially with 2 strikes. Hes still gotta get it down
I feel like we are out of pitching for tonight

If Bido starts tomorrow, we'll really see what's it's like to be out of pitching!
Please put outfielders in the outfield. This is getting painful to watch.
Do that and you'll immediately get complaints about why Shelton is giving Palacios so much playing time.
This is something we need to live with for now till Davis figures it out or doesn't. Not like Bucs are contending this year.
It wouldn't be a Shelton team without somebody playing badly out of position.
nice to see him turn it on once were 10 games out of it
We need a dislike button.
Brey is cooking
