The Pirates will seek to flee

after we start ripping TBD!

Rea will put on a mighty pitching display

As the Pirates fray and their fans

sink into dismay.

Lefty Josh Fleming is starting for Pittsburgh.

They will spend half their career hurt like most pitchers nowadays

Let the fun begin

[kevinisaname]

That was a horrible call against Reynolds, but I'll take it.

[HarryDoyle]

Wow, Pittsburgh's already got someone up in the pen.

[82brewcrew82]

Gross swing decision for Perkins.  They still need multiple bats even when Ortiz comes back.

Sometimes I feel they take hittable pitches to allow a base runner to steal. He should have swung at the strike 2 pitch.  

[kevinisaname]

Good job by Rea overcoming the error. Let's get some runs, boys!

[RobertCrawley]

Willy is losing some of his trade value.

[shanedog19]

Pirates went to our playbook in starting Fleming for one inning.

[kevinisaname]

Four walks for the Brewers already, but no hits to drive them in. William's double play in the first really hurt.

[kevinisaname]

And they cash in their walk.

[jason21nl]

Of course.   The one damn guy that will hurt you.  

[82brewcrew82]

LOL, this team....

[kevinisaname]

Just... avoid Reynolds with this lineup.

[adambr2]

Wasting our opportunities while they cash in theirs. 

[RobertCrawley]

That guy doesn't miss when he gets one to hit.

[RobertCrawley]

Rowdy will make it to first base in a few minutes.

Fleming was only expected to be an “opener”.

Between that and the Pirates starting a “Sunday lineup” this is a game the Brewers should win, and might need to win to win the series with Skenes looming on Thursday.

But not off to a good start. 

[kevinisaname]

Michael A. Taylor hitting .204, by the way. That's a bad walk.
