He is finding high A more challenging. Those would have been homers low A. :)

His 2 fly outs might have been homers in Greensboro lol

Hayes has been playing full time for five years and his last game winning hit was in 2021?

My thought too. But maybe that’s typical, especially with a team that doesn’t have that many walk off opportunities.

Between his injury history and the fact the Pirates haven't won much in that time. Honestly I'm not surprised.

Other than the pick off, not a bad day. 2 doubles and 2 of his fly outs advanced runners.

Rivas picked him up after he already k'd 3 times (Rivas).

I'm wondering whether something happened with Mlod. He was listed as the probable for Indy, but they went with a bullpen game . . . which is working out in "interesting" fashion. They also moved up two pitchers from Altoona while moving one down.

Too bad, they lost the no-hitter with two out in the 7th.

I watched the clip. Pitcher looked in shock, like, "They told me this couldn't happen."

Six outs to torch their bullpen.

Throw on those necklaces and let's get a late inning rally going! Also, just got fubo to supposedly watch some buccos ball and yet I can't find the game on there, anyone know why?

He's real dry. Liked him in MKE and like him in PGH. I know a lot don't.

What park was he talking about?
