This is my first season of getting Shelton's press conferences. Why do they edit it down to less than 1 minute? I know other markets show the full manager presser live. Nutting, Williams, BC mandating a 30 minute delay and editing?? Wouldn't surprise me.
And they cut Skenes interview mid-stream!! Who does that? Let the fans decide if they want to hear the Q&A. Is there other programming they have to run at 10:20 p.m.??
And Grandal admitted to Hannah he doesn't know what happened to the pitchers in the 5th....he/they are watching video and he'll let her know tomorrow. Good candor, but accurate as he hasn't worked w these pitchers for 5 minutes. Dam, wish we had Delay.
Whoop whoop! Raise it !! 18 down and 120 to go!!! Was weird but they found a way to win a game that they had been finding ways to lose the last few weeks. They need to take the series tomorrow.
Nothing to be embarrassed when the Pirates have Rowdy Tellez and his glove on the bench with a lead. I would just give... kudos to the Cubs for hanging in there against such an imposing defensive presence.
Cruz had a 119.7 EV on the double, 114.1 on the HR. MLB high for the season was 119.9 by Stanton.

I wish we had Gary Sanchez and his .800 OPS. 3 million though was just too much for a guy who doesn't play the same level of defense that Tellez does.
I like our post game crew.
It took me over 2 year to get used to Michael Mckenry, but now I like him.
Lots to like about the game tonight. Lots to dislike about the game tonight.
a little more to like since we won.

One of the craziest games I've ever watched and the Pirates had a LOT of crazy games...
Skenes now knows what it's like to play for the Pirates 🙃
Paul Skenes asked how the post game ice bath feels:
"Feels good. We won "
Paul “The Robot” Skenes. Coining that nickname now. He gave her nothing in that interview.
Yep he has the money to hire communications people who have trained him on his answers. Not wrong. But not entertaining either.
He did admit to jitters in first inning. That's not strict adherence to the Crash Davis interview guide.
He pitched with fear and ignorance— “Nuke” Laloosh
Raise it…with eyes closed and head down.
I used to think that you could never be embarrassed by winning... until now.
Cubs should be embarrassed. Didn't we give them 7 runs on walks?
Absolutely.

That was max chaos
Whew. Blood pressure on the way back down. I'd say good win , but it really wasn't.
A game we may remember forever
That wasn't comfortable.
Bellinger should be walked!!
Yeah.... I would have walked him. It worked out... but barely.
Stupid. I think your earlier post has merit......fire three coaches, and manager.
Mastrobuoni has a career .562 OPS over 3 seasons.
They are still bringing in Rowdy Tellez as a defensive sub. How stupid is that?
That's why this is probably Derek Shelton's last mlb managing job and also why if this team ever lucked into the playoffs they wouldn't last long.
As Alika Williams sits on the bench thinking, "WTF?"
