Friday August 5th, Pirates visit the yard

Count me in as someone who thinks banning the shift is an overreach.

Agreed 100%. If hitters are frustrated by the shift, learn to hit it where they ain't.

Let's get our offense back out there 

It sucked that we didn't get a run out of that in the first inning.

Great catch by Santander, I didn't think he would get there in time.

Well, it's Garceau.  I guess it can't all be good, but that's alright.

MLB? Pirates team might be ok, but I missed Ben’s commentary last week when I switched because I couldn’t take Brown’s silliness any longer.

[Yossarian]

So - Mancininseems to be settling into Houston just fine. Two more home runs and 5 RBI so far tonight.

Maybe we should have asked more for him

Moving much better this year!

Never thought Santander had a snowballs chance in hell of catching that ball.   He usually does not show good wheels.  But on that play he was running all out.  I guess his ankle is finally totally healed.   A year ago he would not of been able to catch that ball.

Come on offense! Let’s get it going.

Instead of solely focusing on launch angle and trying to hit a home run every single at bat. Sometimes you need to take what the defense gives you.

I don't have MLB.tv anymore.  Anyway, I like Ben so I'd keep it here regardless.

The thing is that I actually feel kinda bad about bagging on Garceau.  He seems like a really, nice genuine guy and he's been doing Baltimore sports forever.  It's just that he's painful to listen to.

Y’all are a lil ahead of me! Gurg you’re my play by play guy.

I move to call Brett Phillips “The Great Gazoo.”
