Brett Anderson has dominated these Pirates hitters over 56 combined career plate appearances. He’s allowed just six hits including just one extra base hit and three walks. That’s a line of: .050 BA / .089 OBP / .059 SLG for an OPS against of .149.

 

Hopefully we see more of those type of results in Pittsburgh tonight.

Let's hope Mr. Anderson remembers to hydrate - leaving due to cramps in the middle of a gem was not ideal last time out.

Yeah, I didn't understand that. I understand the cures/preventive steps they suggest, though, so drink some pickle juice, Brett! (yuk - it might not be worth it)

Rowdy and Garcia get another day off……..good to be cautious

 

[wibadgers23]

Might as well go with the same lineup that just put up 17 runs the day before.

Our last series against the Pirates this year, so it would be nice to capitalize. Big leads, low-stress innings from the staff and pen, and 2 or 3 more road wins would be the just the ticket.

The Surprising Cause of Muscle Cramps — It’s Not Dehydration

 

This seems pretty suspect. This doesn't really go into the actual causes (usually overuse and dehydration) it just misinterprets a study into something it's not. I assume you meant this as a bit of a joke but I'm not honestly sure.

[BruisedCrew]

No trip to Pittsburgh would be complete without a rain delay or two. Tonight could continue that tradition with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect and heavy thunderstorms predicted for about 9 PM.

[wibadgers23]

Game is delayed. Why in the world does Pittsburgh get so much rain and why didn’t they put a retractable roof on that stadium?

[pacopete4]

I’ll take another double header tomorrow. Advantage us.

[NYChez]

A delayed start works better than playing a few and then relying on a bullpen that covered 6 innings yesterday.

[BruisedCrew]

They’re putting the tarp on already, so there’s a good chance there will be no game tonight. Looks like there will be some strong storms with more rain behind them.

[yfinn6]

Absolutely.

[buckeyesteve]

Lots of thunder and rain here right now. Same thing we had last night.

[willie key]

Pittsburgh is just ridiculous. It’s like every series we play there is the same crap.

 

Get a dome

[folly412]

How do teams put up with this for more than half of their games? I can't bear the rain delays/rainouts on one road trip. Then again, I suppose it's further down the list of problems if you're a Pirates fan.

[owbc]

If they're willing to wait another hour they might get this in. Of course I would prefer a DH tomorrow as well.

 

Although it feels like Hader needs to get some regular work ASAP so maybe it's better if we can play some baseball tonight.

[willie key]

Votto having a Yelich like streak from 2018.

 

It’s starting to piss me off

[markedman5]

Votto just hit another homer…..3 run shot……guy is absolutely on fire.

Off Zack Wheeler too.
