Get Up Everybody and (Vogel)Sing: The 2016 Pittsburgh Pirates

wildcard race should be interesting this year, at least. i hope.

jung-h<3

didn't see his first one, but that second was *crushed*

what's that thing they did in the dugout? they all raised their hands and then brought them down and yelled "____"?

haven't explored because i'm worried that it's RFI: The origin of that stereotypical "oriental" song that plays in movies and is also featured in "China Girl"

now being outscored 28-5 by the cubs in 3.5 games this year

I don't think I've ever seen a pitching coach get tossed for refusing to break up a mound visit before.

I mean I assume he got tossed for saying something to the ump but the whole thing was weird. Cervelli was really pumped up about something during the conversation even before the ump came over.

maybe the pitching coach slept with the umpire's wife, and cervelli is sleeping with the pitching coach

37-11 in five games

and tbf, cervelli's pretty much always pumped up

saw most of that game, i know ive seen a manager tossed on mound visit before

30yo catchers are certainly a risk, but the cervelli extension seems like a pretty sweet deal for the pirates

over the five years of russell martin's jays contract, cervelli will be making less than half the money for what is (so far) better production

(he is babiped all to hell tho)

shame about the pitching staff

taillon/glasnow can't be worse

seven innings, zero strikeouts from cole tonight, but a win

A friend of mine just gave me his mlb.tv password, so hopefully I'll be able to keep track again. Without the internet I'm pretty much blocked from following baseball. Just got offered a flat though, so in a month I'll be able to keep up.

vogelsong took a fastball to the face

extended polanco just in time, apparently

jeff locke, babip master

If I was still doing fantasy baseball, I'd have to name my team Jaso Frightwig.

@Pirates
ROSTER MOVE: Kyle Lobstein has been recalled from Indy and Jameson Taillon has been optioned to Triple-A.

with doubleheaders and shitty starters and one-day trips to colorado, they needed relievers. he should be back soon; only question is which of the non-cole starters he supplants

Steady Lobbin'

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Gerrit Cole exited Friday's start against the St. Louis Cardinals in the third inning due to right triceps tightness, the team announced.

He is being treated and will be re-examined on Saturday.

otm

welp

i guess i have to look up the diagnosis on Cole now, as everyone's too cool to post actual news on threads anymore.

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-pirates-lousy-weekend-might-have-sunk-their-season

cole to the 15-day DL, rip

taillon looks like a young lackey

not his pitching style his face

mook, what's with Cutch? kinda long for a slow start.

heard he has a wrist injury, but i dunno. it's pretty bad -- he's the pirates' fourth-best outfielder 60 games into the season

and considering he's only their third-best defensive outfielder, he shouldn't be playing center either

under .500; brewers are creeping up

where have you gone, ray searage's magic

erik kratz!

Please tell me his nickname is Wild Kratz.

yung chad kuhl not having a great top of the 1st huh

got out of it, but 3 consecutive walks is not great bob

whoops, 2

might be a lil nervous, making his mlb debut against kershaw on national tv

I think it's that horrible fucking hat tbh

just went through a 1-2-3 nicely tho, even when it's the bottom of an order still nice to see from a rook

Has Clint Hurdle given up the gum? I think it's three nights in a row I've turned on the Pirates game and he doesn't have a big mouthful.

Pirates vs Cubs, 2016

3 wins
12 losses
58 runs for
91 runs against
.227/.310/.365 for
.294/.388/.512 against

@Buster_ESPN
Prediction: Somebody is holding some kind of a meeting within the Pirates' organization sometime within the next 24 hours. Very ugly.

tbf someone in a lot of different organizations will probably hold a meeting within the next 24 hours.

ffs

no help at all for the Mets eh

They were already pretty much dead but this game feels like the nail on the coffin.

pretty much

probably confused the cubs' starter with pittsburgh rocker karl hendricks and wanted to help out his cy young candidacy

Ha ha I always get confused about which one is Kyle and which one is Karl
