IGT #1/85 6/25/18 Pit @ Mets. Who, what?

[Ceetar]

Jameson Taillon vs Jim Bean Lugo



Jose Cuervo Bautista is 1/3 with a HR vs Taillon.

[Frayed Knot]

Pirates got off to a hot start this season (8-2) but failed to keep that up until drifting towards .500 by the end of May and now are in the midst of a 7-14 month of June including a five-game losing streak that has them just staying above last place in their division.
Sound familiar?

However instead of missing stars with lengthy DL assignments, they seem to just be getting a bunch of 'blah' years from almost everyone in the lineup.
No one on the roster is hitting .300 (Corey Dickerson = .299), no one has 10 HRs, and only catcher Francisco Cervelli (an excitable boy they all said) is OBP'ing over 350 (.390) but he's the one guy who is DL'd at the moment (7-day concussion as of 3/22 so we won't be seeing him).

Well be seeing former #2 overall draft pick (2010) Jameson Taillon tonight (as previously mentioned) -- 4-6; 4.03; 1.22
then 25 y/o 3rd year man Chad Kuhl on Tuesday [8-11; 4.35; 1.44], followed by former MFY Ivan Nova [4-5; 3.98; 1.23] No Lefties!!!!!

Yikes. No Nimmo. No Frazier.

A leftfielder in center, a firstbaseman in left, a catcher at first, and a shortstop at third.

We so crazy.

It's a night to eat the worm for what ails you

[Guest 41Forever]

We’re losing without even giving up a hit.

[ashie62]

Unusual seasons call for unusual lineups

[ashie62]

And down we go, no worm

[ashie62]

Bang goes the dynamite 2-0 Pitt

[Edgy MD]

Apparently, the Mets bunt now?

[Edgy MD]

I'm pretty sure I saw Colin Moran surrender at Vicksburg.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, we've got a bloop single through 4 innings ... so there's that.

[Edgy MD]

Lugo just doesn't have a punchout pitch tonight.

[Guest 41Forever]

Exhale, kid! Got your first Major League out!

[Edgy MD]

Throw strikes, Bashie. They can't touch your shit.

One hit through five, don't touch that dial.

[Frayed Knot]

It's fairly obvious from tonight's game that beards and 3rd base defense aren't a good match.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

WIILLLLLLMER

[Guest d'Kong76]

Wilmer, stylin'!

[Edgy MD]

Nothing but Flores.

[Edgy MD]

Go, Pittsburgh Pen!!

Weirdos behind home plate paying tribute to the twirling arms lady.

[Frayed Knot]

Are those fish scales tattooed on this Brault guy's left arm or is it a rendition of the periodic table?
I'd have to get a close look to find out.

[Edgy MD]

Bautista burnt.

[Edgy MD]

Gotta send that runner, man.

If I'm ever blessed with those seats I'll be being a weirdo too.

[Edgy MD]

Not a swing, man.
