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.

 

[Enscheff]

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

 

[Enscheff]

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.

 

[Enscheff]

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

Pirates are a juggernaut

 

[Enscheff]

Contreras isn’t framing very well early today.

 

[CyYoung31]

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.

 

[UNCBlue012]

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

 

[Enscheff]

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

 

[Enscheff]

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

This ump is very biased against the Pirates.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

It is so good seeing Riley hit like this

 

[UNCBlue012]

Riley is absurd

 

[Tapate50]

Go off big man
