If you say you didn't see that coming a mile away after Soto beat out that 2out grounder, you're lying.

I really don’t get how Brault is still on the 25 man roster.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:29 pm

Is he a jokester on twitter? That's how Tony Sanchez brainwashed people around here into thinking he was any good.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:35 pm

Williams is a Twitter jokester. Brault just sings the anthem.

I didn't see it coming because I didn't watch it in the first place.

That anthem singing is the Buccos equivalent of jangling your keys in front of an infant.

anyone else see when the buccos brought a cellist (sp?) to play the national anthem earlier this year? best anthem ive heard live, imo

AAA ball is on their ASB so the Battlin Buccos sent Mitch Keller down to Bradenton to get some work in. 72 pitches over 4 innings; 7 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, and 2 strikeouts, so not exactly an encouraging start after bumping him down two levels.

Also in Bradenton is "fan favorite" SRod, who is continuing to "rehab" his way back from being an untalented bag of suck. He was batting 261/346/435/781 in Indy, which I'm sure has Hurdle looking forward to starting him 7 days a week in the big leagues, but through two games in A+ he's batting 125/222/125/347 which is **** hilarious. This assbag who is getting paid almost $6MM this season is stiking out against 20 year olds who are never going to even sniff a AAA jockstrap. Down with SRod.

One of the FB comments during this game was a dude saying he'd rather have Williams than Scherzer.

This is worse than Dad coming back.

Kuhl out until at least early August with a shitty right forearm.

Postby **willeyeam** » Thu Jul 12, 2018 9:51 am

he was actually pitching well too before he got hurt

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Thu Jul 12, 2018 9:58 am

Hopefully the tendons heal a little tight.

Postby **Morkle** » Thu Jul 12, 2018 8:50 pm

Pirates continuing the trend of mangling development of a young player with Meadows. Should have just sent him down a few weeks ago.

Postby **willeyeam** » Thu Jul 12, 2018 8:57 pm

Jordy with 4 RBI tonight

Or given him a "cluster of at-bats" that veterans like SRod somehow "deserve".

A ninth-inning error by Sean Rodriguez, playing short, led to three unearned runs and a 5-3 loss for Indianapolis (48-40) to Toledo.

So wait. The Banderas gif is the original? The only one I had seen to this point was Joel from The Last of Us doing it.

And now this Lego Joel.

srod has a career 672 ops and strikes out one out of every four times he walks up to the plate. he is 33

id ask why he is lingering around but it isn't worth the effort

Postby **Troy Loney** » Fri Jul 13, 2018 8:48 am

This has been a relatively long rehab assignment for sean rod after a pretty questionable DL stint.
