We switched to gameweek threads instead of gamedays a year or two ago. :v:

Today is the first time Schwarber has played at PNC since this happened.

Reminder: The first 2 batters this inning got out. Since then: walk, walk, single, homer, double.

Then the pitcher grounded out.

Getting a big lead early, making the starter throw a bunch of pitches in the first by being selective... There's last year's team.

Maybe it's just me but it seems like whenever we have a big inning we often give at least one back.

This is what happens when you don't get a real RF and hope that utility IF and draft picks can fill the void. Ship the Pirates for the love of God

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Maybe tonight we see if any of the dozen utility IFs the Pirates have can pitch an inning or two.
