Good plan for Jones throwing mostly fastballs. 2nd time through he's going to be pimpin that slider while they gear up for the gas.

That would be my guess.

Make these guys hit the fastball in this weather

Boy I had never even heard of this kid.  With Skenes, Keller and this kid the Pirates are going to have a formidable rotation.

He's 22 second round pick from 2020.

This defense is absolutely brutal.

Westburg bobbles a routine double play ball.....

What do you mean?

Elias prioritizes defense.

Doesn't matter who it is, they're just brutal. Westburg had most of his WAR tied to D and he booted a routine groundball.

I'm just playing my part.

Folks expect a show in the game thread.

Change up not really working today

I went to this park the year it opened. Everything was so shiny, colorful, and bright that it looked like a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood version of a ballpark. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It was just impossibly beautiful to the point of not even being real, or almost like the most amazing toys you've ever seen on Christmas Day.

And based on that behind the catcher view of Westy's fumble, it looks just like it did in '01, just a couple of weeks after 9/11 when I was there.

The folks at MASN have been glitching out this inning. They called Hays Reynolds in the graphic and then when he walked the screen went black during the ball 4 pitch.

[Malike]

Westy is gonna K 3 times to make up for his error.

Sounds like they're starting to get complacent.

Weams and I got invited to the press box when we visited, as his cousin (or was it his uncle?) worked there. Amazing view of the city, beyond the river, beyond the park.

Jones looks unhittable so far 3 K's so far
