Pirates vs. Cubs Game Highlights (5/16/24) | MLB Highlights 

Might still have gotten the win if we hadn't GIVEN them two runs, only to wind up losing by one. Failing to turn the first inning double play, and then Seiya muffing the line drive to right. But you're right about Justin. And the thing about him is that his style doesn't allow much room for error. He relies almost entirely on just two pitches, and he doesn't overpower you. If he leaves a pitch up in the zone, he isn't likely to get away with it.

ugh...........

No you won't...Paul Skenes is going in the next one.. 😂

That was a sac fly regardless of Suzuki missing it. Good try

@@MrGgffggffggff no it waset he would of guned him

@@bigdealio sure🙄

That’s how it’s supposed to be

@@Ostrich1019 lol! I would not be surprised if baseball tosses a coin for the visiting team to choose which dugout to occupy if they win the toss. Baseball just does not surprise me anymore. No advantage point at all, but baseball is getting crazier every year it seems. New rules, and regulations. Take the game back 100 years ago, but with the inclusion of all races to play the game so many Americans enjoy.

Dugout side has always been the choice of the home team. Traditionally, most teams take 1st base, but it is the home teams choice. There is no official rule as to which side goes to which team. The Cubs have always played out of the 3rd base dugout side at Wrigley.

​@@tomodonovan5931 Grammar: 3/5 Context: 2/5 Format: 4/5

Incidentally the Pirates also choose the 3rd base dugout for home games at PNC. It has a better view lol

haha, nice one

He’s so much better when that bat stays in the zone.

Lmao💀

There is no place for Rowdy on the team right now. He has been a major disappointment. Strikes out all the time and can't even bat guys in with sacrifice flies.

​@@harryiglesias I'm disappointed too... He has a good eye for picking and is a power hitter, so I was looking forward to seeing what kind of success he would show...I personally think that it might be traded in the near future...

​@@BasedAurelius It's a bit early, but I'm not sure that I'll be selected as the Mexican national team again for the 2026 World Baseball Classic At this rate, it is likely that he will be fired from the Pittsburgh Pirates...

I'm under the impression his contract doesn't allow for demotion too the minors

He's just in a slump. You guys are brutal. I hope he gets his mojo back soon. He's a smart base runner, and decent on defence. I personally am rooting for him to explode and lift his stats.

Last time I was a Wrigley, Jody Davis was still playing, and there were no night games. But I was there in my Pirates swag fosho. First night game happened after we moved from Chicago to Naples. Talk about a culture shock. Lot of changes down here in 40yrs.

@@beezlbubba Honestly kudos to u guys y'all have been on fire these past few weeks, it's no easy task to light up Steele, injury or not

You talking about the time when the Buccos had hope??

Real problem you got there.

Hoerner, their starting 2b, has a pulled hamstring. He is also a gold glover.

@@rolmodel12. Ah, thanks for letting me know! I wasn't aware of the overall situation.

@damac5136 no problem! I peeped your comments on the channel and figured you may have a favorite team, but comment on many different games. Fan of the sport, student of the game- and I love that. So, figured I'd give you a deeper perspective on my team. And you're not wrong, Madrical's throw was too high and led to a worse inning. He is a good utility guy, but it cost us.

@@rolmodel12. Thanks! I'm basically getting caught up after taking a break for the longest time (due to having two daughters) after having quit a keeper fantasy league (after finally winning - 2011 was my last year as I recall). The highlights videos are allowing me to do so without sacrificing so much time (I can rarely watch live due to living in Europe). Anyway, I'm a Cardinals fan, and wish this Mozeliak guy didn't use roster-building strategies from the oughts under LaRussa. I found out through fantasy that young guys rule the roost. Of course, you need a mix, but this Cardinals organization has me jealous of everybody else's(!) young talent, including the Cubs. They better hope they get major return for Arenado and/or Contreras, because there is almost nothing in the cupboard after this Mo guy has run the ship into the ground. I watch the Rays, too, because I grew up in Tampa Bay, and their organization is fascinating as it is. The Yankees caught my eye this year because of the incredible dynamic Juan Soto brought them from Day One. Quite the transformation.

I only restarted last year, but lasted all year, watching the Cards and Rays highlights videos.

One point so good

Look at the game today losing by 8 in the 5th

Imanaga can't pitch every game. Steele is very good, much younger, and is working back from injury.
