All three games were very close, maybe Padres were more lucky than good today, but I'll take it. This team is rolling now. Far cry from when they were swept by the Angels earlier in the season. That was bad. Keep going San Diego!!
What in the world has happened to this Pirates team man. Feels like these guys don’t even wanna be there. I mean Cruz doesn’t even turn around to acknowledge Joey Bart after his home run and then makes yet another defensive error.
There is no way that Jurickson Profar getting hit 3 times on the same knee within 12 hours is a fluke. They targeted his KNEE. They are trying to stop him and send a message, but it's an unsportsmanlike and cowardly one. If we're up big when the Pirates come to San Diego next week? Expect something. The Pirates sent us a message with the constant beaning(s) and we will respond in our own timely way.
I remember in 2023 where the wheels was flying off and Pirates swept us... Now, Padres swept the pirates! I dunno, wheels been off for nationals since they started to start crud agaisnt profar! Now they're free falling. Maybe Pirates will fall through with them plunking Profar! I call it.... The Profar effect!
No Tatis, no Musgrove, no Darvish. no problem. Team is rolling and it's still missing pieces. The team can only get better. Once Musgrove comes back the playoff pitching rotation is set: Cease, Musgrove, King, Waldron as an optional 4th. Not counting on Yu this year unfortunately, but if he does come back he might take King's spot but I'd rather pitch King who has been lights out since May, allowing 4+ ER just twice since then.
if you mess up a catcher while receiving knockleballs.... the day ends in y but some of these pitches have just been junk balls too. lets throw down and away when the catcher is clearly looking for outside center. but yeah, it would be nice if he was catching them. at least he's been kicking butt in the batters box off and on all year
It's customary to say glibly "good game" after a game, but GOOD GAME, Pirates. Yesterday's was one of the most entertaining all year and today's was great as well.
since april i've been downgrading the l.a. dodgers season, and now both the friars and d'backs have opportunity to know completely knock the dodgers and ohtani out of the postseason. knew the blue crew would be weak but no postseason i did not see coming, lol
Fire Shelton PLEASE how is it that with the players we have our games continually get blown there's at least 15 losses that can be attributed to poor manager decisions
Hit by a pitch in the same spot two days in a row. I can only laugh at this. You can go to the spot where the pirates fell.3 wins in a row against the Dodgers I like the Pirates the best in the National League so please go to the postseason.
This team is on fire… they need to get rid of tatis and get a boat load of prospects and add to this team baby… machado is the captain of this ship and Merrill is the young stud future captain of this team.. tatis needs to go
Is it me or was Cruz playing with no energy ? (hit very good) but didn’t hustle for a double and Bart hits a HR and he doesn’t celebrate with him at home ? Bad teammate vibes ..
