Two not-great plays by Camargo that inning. And after I've spent the last week touting his third-base defense.

Just noticed with these new uniforms that Newc switched from 51 to 15. Guess he switched this spring. Carle is 51. I’m slow
He'll be fine. Everyone has a rough day every now and then
Mark derosa agrees with that
Good AB by Ender
Really would like for another 2 out knock here.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Still no excuse for making me look bad.

Right down the middle.
Would've been nice to score one or two more. But still a nice job running up Pomeranz's pitch-count, and picking up one run with two outs.

Yep. Looks like he's getting back into rhythm at the plate. After saying this you know I've probably cursed him.

First real hit but Newcomb got screwed on strike three before then.

Old Diaz
Guarantee a brave would've been called out on that pitch

Newcomb doing his folty impersonation after the no call on strike 3
Whew. Newcomb is woeful today
This is the wildest I've seen Newcomb this year.

That triple pitch to Moreland was almost a Foltynewicz frustration-pitch: didn't get the painted-corner pitch for strike-three, come back with a non-competitive pitch in the middle of the plate.
And similarly, the wheels are thus in danger of flying off.

He's been wild all year.
He just hasn't faced one of the beastly teams of the AL. Teams have just swung at his pitches that haven't been close.
