Astros @ Pirates, April 12, 2023

The Pirates often seem to get some good young talent that doesn’t really make them any better.

HPU got his finger proper smashed by a ball…break for medical attention

Ouch. Been there, done that. Not fun.

I’m watching the Pirates feed and they showed it…index finger middle knuckle looked like a golf ball

Pirates booth is quite solid, btw

eta: it was Jerry Lane, and it looks like he’s not coming back, so we’ll be down an ump in the field the rest of the game

Was it a foul ball that got him?

I didn’t see it happen, just the aftermath

Man, I miss watching George Springer play everyday.

Brock Ballou (sp?), who I’ve never heard of, is the new HPU.

And yes, Rich Hill throws like a normal 43 year old LHP should

Julks!!!

Great over the shoulder grab by Tucker…next guy hit it where he couldn’t get it for a 2B

And a BB makes it 1st-2nd and 1 out.

Hose!

That’s 2 today…that was just a muuuuuch better pitch to throw on

Seriously guys. Sit back and crush these fucking meatballs he’s throwing. Stop lunging at everything.

VERY smooth play by Tucker to hold a double to a single.

Pirates booth says Suwinski is the 2nd fastest Pirate to hit 20 HRs (by games played)…behind Dr Strangeglove and ahead of Ralph Kiner
