Mountcastle is fine batting 7th on a team of guys who have better swing decisions than he does.

I'd like to see them spend on pitching. Get a good rotation piece or two plus G-Rod and Hall, Rutschman Year 2 plus Henderson, Cowser and the rest, could be a really good team very quickly.

The fact that this will get to 3 or 4 pages is 2 or 3 pages entirely too many. Too many other prospects to consider right now to care if Bannon is gone or not.

He's certainly delivering better than I thought he would.

He's really filled out.

I'm not mad about Odor being on the roster if our guys have to throw hands.

Maybe it's just hindsight cause we know how some of those guys panned out, but the guys we have now just seem a lot more legit.

Quite a gauntlet we have to run through these next 10 games or so. I'd really like to stick it to Gausman again.

Today’s lineup featured three guys that are hitting less than .195. Unacceptable. I’m not saying that’s why we lost but it certainly didn’t help.

Starting with the blasphemy today!

Glad to see Hays continuing to make himself expendable.

Strike three! Win! Four in a row!

Gotta hand it to Hayes there, that was a hell of an at bat. But this is making me nervous. Cruz isn't a good hitter, but two on with a 1 run lead is nerve wracking.

Full count uggghghghghghghghghg

Come on, Bautista.

I don't believe so, no. I dunno who the Pirates manager is but he's one of those guys that would make me laugh if he got angry with me.

I like bringing in Perez for the lefty/left matchup on Cruz.

Great start from Kremer. Never thought I'd see that guy become a viable option.

Correct, the lack of awareness is alarming.

Correct. As good as our bullpen has been, I just want to see them get a bigger cushion. The Pirates suck, but they have some guys that can make you worry.

Damn, this game is going fast. Already in the 7th!

I'm good with Erin Andrews.

It's been my long held belief that these guys all have green lights. I don't think these guys look down the line at the third base coach for swing/take like they do in little league. I think they look down the line for a bunt in a certain situation but that's about it.

Okay, finally need to get some runs here.

No tearjerking commercials for the WWF while a ballgame is on, please. sheesh, gtfo.
