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.

[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.

[Invader3K]

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