Cairo's web gem goes with the stolen base he had the 1/2 inning before.

McCutchen - MVP, MVP

Rolen looks a bit winded.

Ball 2 was a better pitch than strike 1.

 

Just an FYI, on the ESPN gamecast they actually showed that third pitch by Broxton to Alvarez called a ball as being more over the plate than the second pitch that was called a strike, and they were at teh exact same level.

 

Ha you too huh.

I really hate to hear the Pittsbugh fans are upset.

Gotta put Hamigan in to catch in the 9th.

Things are getting chippy

Let's assume a scenario in the 9th inning, Chapman hits a batter. Everybody in the stadium knows it wouldn't have been on purpose. Does the ump automatically toss him. I know it's at his discretion, but what do you think.

I don't know but sure hope we don't find out (unless they let Hughes bat. )

Very well could just to keep things from escelating, hopefully that scenario just doesn't happen.

Nice AB by Harrison. Marte saw a bunch of pitches last night. Would be a huge boost to the Pirates if they could come back here.

Did I just see the old man from Old Man and the Sea?

Pirates are battling hard tonight. Tough out on deck.

5 to go. :scared:

Wonder if Jim Day got the foul ball that went into the Fox Sports Condo?
