    I wanted 3-1 from the Pirates. Sucks to have lost the way the team did on Thursday but a win today gets the job done.

    No true platoon for Heredia/Ender?

    I think both Ender and Heredia have to show why this should be the case first.

    With how fragile Ender seems to be nowadays, I think it’s more of a 50/50 split with Heredia getting all the PAs vs LHP plus a fair share of the PAs vs RHP.

    Yesterday my 4 year old hit a HR in the backyard just like “Ronal Macunya”. For some reason he always skips 13 when he counts though.

    With a day off tomorrow and ender having a good game yesterday, I'd have liked ender today. Heredia has been great so far this year though, so maybe this is the right call

    There’s the pirates “playing the game the right way” with a bunt attempt, as they score the least number of runs in the game.

    And then they score on an extra base hit. Almost like that’s the best way to “play the game the right way”....weird

    Contreras isn’t framing very well early today.

    Fried may be partly to blame, but the ump has missed 3 clear strike calls.

    Contreras has been all over the place receiving those pitches. I think he cost Fried 1-2 strike calls

    Yeah, but Fried is also missing his spots.

    They’re back: Pirates start the game with 60 mph bloop hit and Braves start with a 110 mph out

    Brubaker just got squeezed there vs Albies. Led to a base runner.

    Riley with the bomb after Albies should have been struck out to end the inning.

    This ump is very biased against the Pirates.
