And yeah, eventually I remembered to put it in global announcement mode. This is not my weekend.

 

So when Pirates fans boo Ryan this weekend, is it ordinary garden-variety "juicer" hatred or are they still hanging on to his audacity to be happy about that 2008 walkoff?

[phnxcrew]

Is the gun at PNC that slow or is Rogers really only going 90 on his FB?

[phnxcrew]

Well we'll see if Rogers goes 4... so frustrating having a guy with this filthy of stuff throwing so many pitches.

I agree. Except for that one start in Houston when he went 7 its been frustrating to see him manage only 5 IPs. Hopefully this season he and Yo can try to get more efficient with their pitches. It's fun to watch K's but its better to watch 7-8 IP from our starters.

It would be nice if he could give the 'Crew 180 innings next year.

Pirates TV guys crowing when they had Hart 0-2. "Would be nice to get him on this pitch. But he doesn't have to."

[phnxcrew]

Between Aaron Rodgers on the packers and Mark rogers for the crew man those are a couple of great beards... coming from a beardsmith. Well done boys.

[torts]

33 K's through the series so far. awesome

I was just thinking the same thing. It looks like the Pirates as a team strike out quite a bit. According to bref, Pit has the second most strikeouts in the MLB. They'll probably will take the lead after today.

[AZBrewCrew]

Maldy at 1st...interesting experiment.

[sdcheezhd]

Ransom at 3d . . . Interesting experiment.

[Lee16]

The bullpen looked good...interesting experiment.

[igor67]

Considering the sell off and injuries still only being 8 under now kind of reinforces the idea that the team isn't that bad.

[dlk9s]

Winning a road series against a good team...interesting experiment.
