Exited the game shaking his arm. 

Could be why he's been struggling lately.  Could have been trying to pitch through an injury.

When I was a kid in San Diego, if you took pitches like [Jace took], we'd say "Whattaya want? Eggs in your beer?"

Whatever it is, it could be a blessing in disguise. Not helping the team right now and forces us to look for better options at the back.

Yeah

could be.  Maybe he was taking one for the team since our starters are a mash unit.    Maybe he will get healthy and get better

I also saw something about how he was working on something with mechanics to try to get back on track. Maybe he altered his delivery and that aggravated something. 

[SomewhereInTime]

Suter just doesn't have the command he used to in previous years.  Should seriously consider slowing the tempo down.

[mtsportsfan]

Elbow tightness for Houser

[Pugger]

My goodness, the balls ate flying tonight.

[willie key]

Suter needs to go too.     Bringing him in a tie game just means you are automatically going to be down. 

[mtsportsfan]

Suter  just not as effective as he used to be. Should be mop up duty only !

[BruisedCrew]

Adames looked like he was trying to tie the game on one swing even though there was nobody on base.

When your top 3 relievers are out for the night and the starter leaves in the third inning you’re kind of stuck using your mop up man and hoping for the best.

Catching up on the game, saw Houser shake his arm off at least twice before the walk to Vogelbach when he was taken out.  Something had been bothering him for a while.

[CdrbrgMark]

That was some pretty wild swinging by Adames.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I don't care how good we are or how bad the Pirates are, I have PNC Park associated trauma to rival my St. Louis Cardinal trauma.

Oh yeah ,   no doubt it is what it is.  Wong again with the error ! 

[mtsportsfan]

With Vogelbach  running there was no need to rush that play. Should be out of the inning ! Wongs  d has slipped.

[Brewcrew82]

With Jace Peterson playing Arenado like defense at third these days, that should mean less playing time for Wong. 

[igor67]

Definitely on the defensive decline, it makes it easy to move on from Wong and go with a younger player in the offseason.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Pleased with Urias getting the run in there. 

[mtsportsfan]

Battling back . good job of getting a run back !

[Pugger]

Come on Taylor.  Let's get some more runs here.

They have to cover 7 innings from bullpen today.  It doesn't matter what the score is, you need a guy who can pitch a few innings.

[Pugger]

Keep the line going...
