They might stay in it if they can keep playing last place teams for the rest of the year.

Josh Palacios is not a good MLB player and I look forward to the day he's not on the Pirates, but... he has, to his credit, had some big hits this year.

And I'd sell high on Bednar this offseason. The wheels may have been run off him.

Was there a single swing and miss vs. Bednar? That’s worrisome. Gutsy pitching to get out with the save, but he’s worn down as the season goes on before, wondering if we are seeing that again.

No question. I would not mind seeing Skenes after Milb season ends. OK that's probably asking too much.

Raise it!

Best game of Bednar´s career

7.5 games out of the playoffs!

Not really but we can dream. 7.0 GB.

Would have to do something like Hurdle's Rockies did one year......like 24-4.

Never a clean inning from Bednar.

I’ve lost confidence in him a few months back. But he’s still the best we have in that spot.

Peggy is just barreling up the baseball! Did not know his bat was this good.

Peggy should get a lot of playing time the rest of the season. He's not been overwhelmed by mlb pitching, he's has really good speed and I feel he is better defensively then he gets credit for. He could be a key piece for a lot of reasons. I think his potential power from the right side could play really well for these young Bucs.

The good news is, he has been playing mostly every day between SS and 2B. Getting an odd day off now.

I keep forgetting that even these kids need just because of playing in some of this crazy heat. It's always really hot in St. Louis also. I'm sitting here in Middletown, PA and it's 97 degrees out on Sept. 3rd. Insane!

In the B-R category "late and close", JP is batting .313/.405/.719/1.124.

Too bad he sucks before then.

Eye test tells me that Peguero plays just as good and Gonzales plays a good 2b.

Pallante has serious reverse splits, and still Reynolds bats LH. I guess Shelton didn't get the analytics tonite.

Wow. You aren't kidding.

Pallante against RH 21 innings 35 hits 14 waks for a 2.33 whip and a .380 batting average. Pallante against LH 33.3 innings 26 hits 10 walks for a 1.08 whip and a .211 batting average.
