There's why CC is such a Sogard fan... He wills pitchers to throw him balls...

I can't understand why any pitcher would ever throw anything out of the zone to Sogard.

[adambr2]

Braun has had 5 massively hittable pitches in his 2 PH appearances in the last 24 hours and couldn't touch a single one.

[MoreTrife]

Pirates have a ton of nasty relievers. Wow.

I think CC should quit with the Jedi mind trick games and the Brewers put him on the DL already.

[PinaMadness]

It's Hader time now!!!

[adambr2]

Pirates have a ton of nasty relievers. Wow.

 

I guess? They have the 4th worst pen in the NL by ERA, so someone is hitting these guys.

[adambr2]

Atta boy Yelich!!

They won't now since they've already lost 2 days of retroactivity with the PH appearances.

[adambr2]

Free run, that works.

I guess just "stuff". Feliz and Vasquez last night were electric. Santana was mid upper 90s as is Crick. Brewers certainly not hitting them much.

[Invader3K]

Thanks for the free run , Pirates.

[PinaMadness]

Crick's stuff is so nasty even his catcher can't handle his pitches.

[adambr2]

If we have a 2 run cushion I might go Barnes in the 8th until he gets in trouble or gets through the inning. If you use Hader for 1 he's available tomorrow, 2 is iffy.

Yeah I mean raw stuff is one thing, but usable stuff is another. Neftali Feliz had excellent stuff but was a disaster.

 

Nice thing about our pen is we've got both.

[SeaBass]

Can anyone imagine this team without Cain and Yelich right now?

[xisxisxis]

Crick's stuff is so nasty even his catcher can't handle his pitches.

 

Even the strike zone can't contain it...

[MoreTrife]

That's a million Shaw groundouts in a row.

[MoreTrife]

Can anyone imagine this team without Cain and Yelich right now?

 

Honestly might be bottom of the league.

[young guns]

4th strikes the charm i guess.

[Greenleaf1]

Hader's bringing the heat tonight. 95-97 with the fastball, as if it wasn't hard enough to hit already.

[PinaMadness]

It was fun while it lasted.

[SeaBass]

Ah nuts. That seems to be the thing with Hader, when they make good contact it goes a long way. Glad it's more of a rarity this season so far. Edited May 6, 2018 by SeaBass

[adambr2]

Hader's command just not the greatest tonight. That's the only time he becomes vulnerable, when he gets behind in counts and they just sit dead red on his fastball. Edited May 6, 2018 by adambr2

Bad pitch location there. Looked like it was right in Marte's wheelhouse.
