Let's turn Keller into a bank teller ... let's take all his cash!

Let's pray for Rea .... let's see our offense mash and smash while the Pirates crash!

Who does that leave on the bench? 

Dunn, Sanchez, Perkins, & … ?

Monasterio.

 

Perkins in the midst of an 0-19 slump so probably a good time to get a breather.

Looking forward to seeing how Cruz kills us this series.

Glad Cutch didn't lead off the game with another home run.

Me too. Saved it for Sowinski. 

[kevinisaname]

Just some bad pitches in that sequence...

At least that one only would've counted as one run.

Pitching mistake. With his stuff, Rea can't get away with those.

[RobertCrawley]

Wow. Low strike zone.

[Nola Beery]

Not the best start. Come on guys!

[BruisedCrew]

The ads on the site have taken over on my iPad tonight. 

[BruisedCrew]

Schroeder has a pretty short or selective memory to be commenting on Rea having to throw extra pitches because of the missed third strike.

That pitch was borderline, unlike the strike 3 call on the first hitter of the inning. 

[yfinn6]

Hoskins clearly limping while running. That's not good. 

[BruisedCrew]

Hoskins knee give out on him?

[folly412]

Damn, the Rhys vs. Rowdy footrace will have to be postponed.

[82brewcrew82]

Sigh............

[markedman5]

We can’t have nice things 

[jason21nl]
