Sounds like I missed Oneil being an idiot again.

Stratton suffered a ruptured patella. That's gonna be a long absence.

Horrible. Wishing him all the best.

It especially sucks because it comes at a time when he had a chance to get himself established in the majors.

The most Cherington stat ever:

Josiah Sightler this year at Greensboro: 257 ABs, 132 Ks.

Silver lining, this has gotta embarrass the sh*t out of Nutting. One of the 3 biggest home games of the year with Pirates HOF ceremony. Did no one in the FO even think for a millisecond to get Skenes lined up for this game, and give the 38K fans in the house and the city and the players something to be proud about. ???

This is a team that issued six bases-loaded walks in one inning in the biggest rookie debut in many years. Nothing embarrasses Nuttin.

I came to PNC Park tonight to watch a clown show. I'm getting my money's worth.

I know it's probably baked into the BsR stat on FG, but I'd love to see a separate WTF column

cruz should have lowered his shoulder and pummeled that third baseman

Gee what a shocking outcome. Woodford 8 runs in 3 innings. I gotta believe there is someone in AAA that can do better than that. What an embarrassment this organization is on a night when they honor some greats. I bet Bonds could still hit better than most of this lineup. Embarrassing to have 3 guys with sub .600 0ps in the starting lineup which is better than most nights when they have 4 or 5.

Well it sounds like we identified the two pitchers coming off the roster to make room for jones and holderman

That's the fun of MLB pitching depth. If you're wondering who needs to exit the roster, just give it a day.

Stratton’s knee just full on knee-butted the rock wall behind home plate. 😳🙏

Idk that looked like an ACL before he might have hit the wall.

Definitely hurt his leg before hitting wall. Looked super painful.

Leyland must be wondering how he ended up at a class A game.

Hopefully one day in the near future we won’t have to put up with seeing AAAA guys listed as probable SP’s.

Or AAAA guys playing RF.

I think that's all we need to see of Woodford.

BDLC playing bad baseball. The same WTF moment twice in the same game. Obviously no one is coaching him.

Leyland and Bonds are in the booth pointing that out too! Classic good timing.

I'm at the game. Nothing beats watching a disaster unfold live.

So with a runner on base Woodford has no control what so ever.
