Kind of late to ask this now, but why couldn't the starters go back in after the rain delay last night, and after long delays in general? I really know nothing about what it does to a pitcher's arm to go for a few innings and then shut it down for a couple hours. I'm just curious as to what happens physically that they can't continue to go more, I never pitched and just don't really understand what happens there I guess. Is there just a highly elevated risk of injury at that point, or what? Just curious.

Come on Garza. Beat Cole and your trade value ticks up nicely. Let's go!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Nice to see that bad base running isn't limited to Milwaukee.

[young guns]

Isnt rock wrong? Isnt the very definition of a force out where you can just touch the base and not have to tag anyone, which makes doubling off jaso a force out and it not matter if they beat cervelli or not?

[superfly]

The Garza haters might have to hush up pretty soon.

No, force out means you are forced to go to the next base when the batter becomes a runner

[markedman5]

I guess they can stop testing Thames for awhile now......

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Excellent job by Garza to get out of that 6th inning jam without conceding a run. Need the bats to wake up and get him a win.

I was following on GameDay and they were saying it was 3-1 and now it is still 1-1. Can anyone fill me in on what happened?

[markedman5]

Bases loaded......ground ball hit to Shaw who stepped third and threw home to double play.....next guy up hits a broken bat grounder to 2nd to end inning

Nothing at all, just a random mistake by gameday

[burnzy24]

Thanks for the clarification.

[JimH5]

It looks like there are fewer than 5000 at PNC now.

[markedman5]

Feliz at night t again.....2 batters....2 line drives

[adambr2]

You are the worst, Torres. As soon as you came in I figured it was over.

[markedman5]

Give up 6 runs in 2 games and score 1.

 

Offense struggling now.....

 

With all the base runners Pirates had it was amazing it went extra innings

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Wasted the pitching performances tonight. Lousy time for the bats to go quiet.

[pacopete4]

Torres needs to be replaced. Now. Meatballs. He throws meatballs. Figure it the flip out Stearns.

[pacopete4]

This team needs Braun back in a hurry. We see the importance of him in a hurry.

[FVBrewerFan]

Just take look at the Colorado Springs box score to feel better about the night.

[markedman5]

Too bad 1 of those outfielders couldn't play left for us tonight instead of Nick Franklin.

[Boomer5]

If you look at some of the hot starts as outliers, that is an expansion team 3-7 line up.

[superfly]

For the love of God when can we cut Carlos Torres loose?

[liveforoctober]

This is old news at this point but did anyone else question why Harrison wasn't walked to set up the double play at the end?

 

As he was stepping up to the plate I told my sister "Hey, have you seen the new intentional walk rule .. check this, they will walk him here." Then watched a first pitch walk off...
