do you get free booze too?

No way a $110 (or a bit less) Buccos ticket is worth it, even with food and warmth. Gimme booze.

Snow?

According to Walk and Brown the snow was accumulating on the warning track. #aintnobodygottimeforthat

steve blass didn't call the game tonight. I'm guessing he said "f this, whener you have to call this game because its too cold"

the getaway day lineup is doing some damage today

Forgot about the start time of this game completely. MLB.tv says there isn't any video available. Come on man.

Edit: works fine on the iPad. Weird.

This works

kyle crick pitches a clean inning in the 7th, which may be a first for a pirate reliever in the 6th or 7th inning

QS from Chad Kuhl is good news. Maybe they all need some glasses? The day/night splits are pretty crazy.

@KTK Blass went to Puerto Rico.

Who the **** is Romero? Did Rivero Vázquez change his name again?

Postby **Troy Loney** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:58 pm

Some dude they claimed from the Nats

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:59 pm

Romero is a waiver claim from Baltimore (?). they demoted dovydas for some reason and picked up this romero guy

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:00 pm

He's got some movement in his two seamer. Plus, he rakes.

I think the reason they demoted Dovydas was pretty clear. Doesn't seem like he should have made the team over Crick.

Yes, in some circles, 11 hits, two home runs, 3 walks, a hit batter, and 8 runs in 6.2 innings pitched would be deemed unacceptable for a major league pitcher

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:50 pm

Romero is from Washington

Big if true

Pirates are back to being not good again.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 7:55 pm

Pirates are terrible.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:00 pm

Yup...I think it is fair to say they are now regressing back to where they should be. Getting beaten by the Phillies over and over again is fun.

Oh?

Hey now, I never bought in.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Sun Apr 22, 2018 8:43 am

I don’t think anyone believed they were going to run away with the division. Polanco and bell have been craptastic for about a week now, causing this slump. They’re still exceeding expectations, the rotation looks pretty decent going forward and there are some early season breakouts in the minors. Calvin Mitchell is looking like a steal and both prep pitcher breakout candidates are looking good (ogle and MacGregor). Plus tucker and Keller are looking good in Altoona
