Pirates are 19-61 at miller park since 2004

Smart play by Gomez. [sarcasm]Now the Pirates will have to trade us Jameson Taillon for Segura.[/sarcasm]

[MrTPlush]

How....do you miss that call?

[trwi7]

Brian making it sound like an accomplishment that Segura's last 38 hits have been singles. Also said he's maintaining a high OBP.

[3and2Fastball]

Jungmann looks like a legit talent. Braun looks like he is mailing it in. Surprised the Pirates haven't throw at Gomez yet

[pacopete4]

HOW BOUT THEM BREWERS!!!!

[Polish Falcons]

Who would be the Brewers #5 pitcher if Lohse and Garza are traded, dropped, or demoted after July 31? I would like to see anybody but them in the rotation. This team is becoming surprisingly exciting to watch.

Jungmann is looking like an ace or a good #2. I have to keep telling myself it wont last. But then he just keeps on going out and shutting down good clubs.

The Pirates may be good but their lineup today was complete garbage. Two players with OBP's over .350 and Neil Walker had the second highest SLG% in the lineup at .410.

[EauClaireNWL]

It's amazing that had this team even played even slightly under .500 ball through the first two months of the season, they'd easily be in Wild Card contention right now. Maybe it's for the best they tanked given the fools gold this roster has shown us before, but hey, if the make some moves and the young guys keep playing well, more power to them.

[brewmann04]

Taylor just keeps doing his job and does not deserve to be moved for either Carza or Lohse

[Boomer5]

There would be a riot if they moved Jungmann down now. The guys has been our best starting pitcher since CC and Zack.

 

This start was important since it was against a hot team that was facing him for the second time.

 

I remain skeptical since he was so bleh in the minors but they does appear to be legitimate a number 2 starter in this league, even with a fall from this level.
