Seeing how well Falter did last evening, I thought it would be a good time to check in on our old friend Rodolfo Castro.
Castro continues to struggle. He is 2 for 17 with the Phillies with no extra base hits, giving him a slash line of .118/.211/.118. So no miracle cures in a Phillies uniform just yet.
This is an outrage! The Cardinals are trying to rob the Pirates of their rightful last place finish. Last place is Bob's legacy, his birthright. The Cards are pretenders! Usurpers! Surely the baseball gods will not tolerate this mockery!
I can see it now the Cards are going to be one spot ahead of the pirates in the draft, and are going to get JJ Wetherholt just to torment us for a decade with a local product.
He's expected to return to the Pirates this year still, but obviously we are running out of time, so don't expect much at the big league level. You might just see him join the Pirates once Indy is done because there won't be anymore milb games to play
He has to go down. This is becoming a disaster. You can see Suwinski’s confidence, what little there is left of it, draining away with every at bat. It’s not that hard, just make Bae the everyday center fielder and bring Gonzales or Triolo back up to play the infield or Andujar if you want another outfielder.
Mitchell has been on the IL since early July. You probably won't see him in Pittsburgh again this year and he's going to have a tough time with the 40-man moves coming up in the off-season
100%! He has ability. But he’s completely messed up now. Wish he could go back in time and be tutored by Charlie Lau or Walt Hrniak. But there has to be a contemporary instructor who can turn him around.
Definitely couldnt, I guess the only problem is that reynolds or palacios is in center every day? I guess bae could too. If they can give hank a phantom IL stink then jack needs one too
So apparently in yesterday's game, Laz Diaz missed 20 calls on pitches, 16 of them going against the Pirates. Is he trying to challenge Angel Hernandez for worst ump?
SI had a couple of articles about the bad umpiring over the weekend, I don’t know if you saw the middle-middle pitch that was called a ball on Bader, Bader actually walked off and was basically called back
And if he and Endy have really good games tonight you can count on them getting tomorrow off. Shelton wouldn't want any young players to get on a hot streak.

I just want to know how Connor Joe found out I was talking smack about him. Now someone tell Jack I said he stinks, lol.
They will not Falter!! Or they will Falter? With Falter. Falter Falter? They can win now. I just want top 10 pick.

Nah, they stink now lol
But hopefully we'll leapfrog them like the Reds
Would be a real shame for everyone else if we won the world series in the same year that we had our second #1 overall draft pick in a row
Most likely, but Molina used his voodoo to probably cast a spell to have a losing season, (because he's not there) just to win the draft lottery.
Maybe! But, for as much flak as Pirates get for playing Davis in RF, Walker is so bad in the corners that he's negative WAR even with a 108 wRC+
Palacios may never have another like last this, all his family, against his brother’s team, at home, etc...
He does well in personal big games, his walk off on his birthday, now the sibling rivalry game.
I hope the Pirates just set the precedent that they own Rom
Only if he is good enough to stay in the rotation against everyone else!
That's the hope! The Pirates will be his Achilles!!
Mustering my best Mel Allen voice— “How about that!!”
Raise it!,,,
any injury update on Oneil?
He's expected to return to the Pirates this year still, but obviously we are running out of time, so don't expect much at the big league level. You might just see him join the Pirates once Indy is done because there won't be anymore milb games to play
At least its a positive that jack struck out swinging instead of looking
Sad but true
Splish, splash that ball is taking a bath. Almost!
Have a day endy!
@melkel im waiting
It's there
Please let this be Hayes from now on!
An actual piggyback game?
Second game in a row. It's what you gotta do when the cupboards are so bare.
I felt that yesterday’s game was a reliever game, this one has the potential to have both guys go 4 each, the score helps!
The pitching helped too 😁
Jack has struck out 40 of his last 89 AB, which of course is before tonight which makes it 42/91

I’m ready for CSN and or Mitchell to get another look, can’t be worse.....can’t it?
Mitchell has been on the IL since early July. You probably won't see him in Pittsburgh again this year and he's going to have a tough time with the 40-man moves coming up in the off-season
If Suwinski was smart, he'd be looking for a personal hitting coach.
100%! He has ability. But he’s completely messed up now. Wish he could go back in time and be tutored by Charlie Lau or Walt Hrniak. But there has to be a contemporary instructor who can turn him around.
I think this is who he is, but it would be worth a try. This sure ain’t working.

It was a mighty fine statement game!
He came so close to his perfect game!
Peguero pegandole a la pelota!
And if he and Endy have really good games tonight you can count on them getting tomorrow off. Shelton wouldn't want any young players to get on a hot streak.
You can’t expect a young, early twenty athlete to be able to handle such heavy load.
I'd forgotten Neil Walker was still part of the broadcast team. Wish I wasn't reminded.
