Pirates (Skenes) vs Brewers (Civale): 7/11/24, 1:10pm

[Jim French Stepstool]

Apparently we're all about breaking up the no-hitter, over winning the game. Just an embarrassing 7th.

[BCF]

If they were pitches right down the middle it would be different but pitches to Yelich and Adames weren’t even strikes 

[homer]

Brewers are gonna win in extra innings

[RobertCrawley]

We got a break there. 

[kevinisaname]

That missed the plate by a good bit, but I'll take it.

[nate82]

hopefully the ump doesn't start calling that more.  Otherwise this is going to be a no hitter.

[Fear The Chorizo]

99 pitches, several innings early got the pitch count up but cruising for the last few - no way I'd take Skenes out until he gives up a hit at this point.

Thank you Pirates

Skenes out, hopefully they can get one (run) here

remember Kerry Wood? Its not worth it. 

[Team Canada]

Hey, a hit!

[RobertCrawley]

Ok. Here we go.

[patrickgpe]

didn't take long. anything must have looked like a beach ball compared to what they saw all afternoon. 

[RobertCrawley]

Mitchell needs to get it going.

[kevinisaname]

Two hi!s Turn 'em into runs!

[Team Canada]

Two hits!  I bet everyone's just excited not to be facing Skenes anymore.

If there was a time to try for it it would've been today with the ASB coming for a bunch of extra rest days.   But they've been pretty clear about being super cautious with him

[kevinisaname]

That was sad to watch. Murph making a guy who hasn't successfully bunted try and bunt.

[BCF]

Joey Ortiz can’t come back soon enough 

[HarryDoyle]

Well that's gonna ruin the inning.

[hoosier]

Why is Monestario hitting here??? 

[Brian]

He missed that by a foot.

[TURBO]

If Monasterio is such a poor bunter, then why are we having him bunt?

Just plain stupid.

Asking him to do something he has never done, ever, is asinine.

[RobertCrawley]

Monasterio chased one that was almost in the dugout.

[TURBO]

That was just giving them a free out.  Dumb idea Murphy.  Really dumb.
