Shiver me timbers 

[treego14]

Where are the liars that say we lose with Myers?

Falter is not the Rock of Gibraltar!

His pitches we will jar and hit them far!

[Underachiever]

Pirates (Falter)

Let's hope so.

[NOMAAM]

Looks like rain from about 2 central on.  Also rain most of tomorrow.  Guessing double header Thursday.  And skip one game.  Hopefully they get lucky and can squeeze one in tonight or tomorrow.

[Frisbee Slider]

If our games don’t figure into the postseason standings, do we skip any games?

[Brewcrew82]

Leave it to Pittsburgh to mess with setting our postseason rotation.

We can probably skip anyone’s start at this point and set our rotation how we want? The probability of Phillies going 1-5 against Cubs and Nats seems slim.

Sure, you can skip anyone's start as a last resort, but I think they'd rather Freddy and Tobias get some work in in Pittsburgh instead of going almost two weeks between starts.

They could get everyone 4-5 innings by stacking starters. 

I don’t think missing a game in Pittsburgh is anything to be concerned about. They know they’ll have 3 games over the weekend to give anyone they want some work.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see 7 or 8 different pitchers on Sunday.

 

 

[NOMAAM]

They could wait until 8 central time.  Appears the rain will be gone by then.  Not sure what condition the field would be in.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

It always rains in Pittsburgh!

Surprised they don't lead the world in double-headers. I tried to look this up, but couldn't find it. I'd love to know which stadium has hosted the most DHers in the last decade. I'd have to think Target Field and PNC would both be top 5.

[BruisedCrew]

There might be some delays (nothing new in Pittsburgh) but the forecast I’m seeing doesn’t look that bad. 

I would expect them to get all 3 games in. 

[willie key]

Pittsburgh sucks.    They should have these games at home.    Always rains

[Samurai Bucky]

The Brewers won't have Rowdy to kick around anymore 😢... or for that matter, he won't hit dingers off of the Crew.

 

[BruisedCrew]

The important series that might really have rain problems is the Mets Braves series in Atlanta 

Atlanta is looking at the possibility of several inches of rain starting sometime on Wednesday from the remnants of the hurricane moving through the gulf. 

I wonder if they might consider moving up the start time of tomorrow’s game to try to get another one in before the rain hits.

Apparently Rowdy was only four plate appearances short of a 200K bonus before being DFA'd. The Pirates deny finances were a factor in the timing of the DFA, of course. Hmm...

 

[Underachiever]

Sal with some exit velocity! 1-0

[treego14]

Joey!

[Underachiever]

I truly believe that the Brewer defenders would have caught both of the RBI hits that the Pirate defenders couldn't get to.

That's poor on the part of the Pirates organization.

Yeah, Vinny was about to mention a small donkey, and remembered where he was!

I don't understand your comment, either. Maybe it's me.

eta: Never mind. I got it.

Base hit? Adames has had some problems lately.
