Drat.

[Pugger]

Shoddy defense tonite.  ?

[Pugger]

Oh oh...

[markedman5]

Slider right down the middle…….

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I haven't seen many worse pitches than that...

[BruisedCrew]

Hopefully this isn’t going to turn into one of those infamous PNC Park lost weekends but this is an ugly performance. 

[Pugger]

Didn't one of our announcers say earlier we haven't lost to the Pirates yet this year?

That was true when stated. 

[markedman5]

Might want to think about a new scouting report on Perez…,

[mtsportsfan]

Sometimes you just have to tip your hat , that young man is having a day!

[SomewhereInTime]

Well, given the pitching situation today, this was gonna be a tough one.

[BruisedCrew]

2 days in a row for a Pirate with a 3HR game.

Throw this game in the trash can and hope Burnes can cool them off tomorrow.

[Brewcrew82]

Oh well. We weren't going to win every game against the Pirates. This is probably the one I would've expected us to lose, too, as the pitching matchups the rest of the series are in our favor.  When guys like that are hitting three homers in a game, you just have to tip your cap. Onto tomorrow.

Looking on the bright side. At least we didn't have to use Box, Williams and Hader! ?

[igor67]

Even the Cleveland Spiders won 20 games.

[willie key]

I think Alexander is failing his tryout to be a reliever the rest of the year.    
 

with Suter being unusable that spot is wide open for anyone to take it.   

[BruisedCrew]

Got the tying run to the plate. 

[Brewcrew82]

Good hold with O'neil Cruz set to deliver the relay throw to home. 

[SomewhereInTime]

This is why it's really important to hold 3 run deficits

[mtsportsfan]

Come on Kolten , hit one out !!!!

[mtsportsfan]

That was crap ! Robo. 2024

Are you assuming that the Brewers TBD on Saturday is better than the Pirates TBD?

if Ashby isn’t ready it might be Gonzalez. 

[Brewcrew82]

That might be the worst strike call I've ever seen. 

[trwi7]

Not often that Angel Hernandez isn't the worst umpire on the field.
