Pen is fresh for tomorrow, Hayes used 2 of his allotted 6 errors for the season already, and jones is gonna shove. Keep it rolling bucs

The funny part is that Hayes had one of his worst career defensive outings, and the score against was one serious run and one garbage run.

Baseball obeys its owns rules of statistics. We are only here to bear witness.

MLB.com shows Fleming with the W. Why wouldn’t Ryan get a W and Fleming a S?

I think everywhere else shows Ryan with the win and Fleming with the save.

Greg said Ryan got the win. Hmmm.

Because Fleming is cool.

Rowdy! Shelty showing off his genius bringing him in for his defense. 😀

Even funnier: this happened after Joe had one of his best defensive games at 1B as a Pirate.

Sheltieball: it's . . . a challenge to my vocabulary.

Can Shelton start defensively subbing Cruz out or will he pout too much?

Expand full comment

O’Neil Cruz is going to make a wonderful right fielder someday

Is there a reason that Williams is on the roster if you are not going to use him as a defensive sub late in games... especially 7-1 games where Cruz risks injury in a game that is nearly decided?

Expand full comment

Answer is NO there is no reason for Williams to be on this team.

Unfair. Alika is there to remind us of the Tank Years, when .600 OPS might make you the team's offensive MVP.

The wheels have fallen off.

Time to bring Rowdy in for defense. :)

Tellez 2 put-outs!

Shelton's just trolling the fans like he always does with his insane moves!

Expand full comment

That's just a completely random move that makes no actual sense, unless Joe is hurt.

The Pirates have to be leading MLB in DP's so far.p

It's early but Davis looks pretty darn good defensively. And Triolo can turn a double play.

Stealing low strikes and blocking balls… love it

It would be nice to see Josh Fleming finish this game out.

Might need a rested bullpen in case Jared gets the jitters tomorrow and even if he don't they probably only get 5 out of him due to pitch count.

Expand full comment

Was thinking the same! Fresh pen to go into tomorrow. Does he have that length?

Expand full comment

Yes he does. Fleming is underrated. You heard it here first.

Expand full comment

Definitely impressed tonight. He hung in the rays org for 4 years, wouldnt have done that if he had nothing
