Lance vs Skenes
Every FB Skenes threw (of his 11 pitches) in the first was 99+

Skenes looks pretty impossible for our light bats. Hope I’m wrong.
The good news is that the Pirates are also offensively challenged.
It would be really neat to have a LH power bat in the lineup.

Just tuned in, how did they not call CI?

They already called one in the top of the inning. Can’t call two in one inning, apparently

Ugh. Your best, fastest hitter gets a GIDP to fail to score the run.

Couldn’t have been more obvious. You could hear it on the Pitt broadcast and the booth agreed.
I like Melton at the plate so far, for whatever that’s worth
That might come back to haunt them. Getting two on with one out might not happen again against this guy

McCutchen is tied with Clemente at 240 HRs on the all time list. The leaders are Stargell followed by Kiner.
How strong is Melton’s throwing arm?
Altuve with a simultaneous stupid and brilliant steal

I find that hard to believe, but I believe you
So Altuve is no good at 2B anymore and needs to be in LF?
He was easily safe so I’m going to mark that down on the brilliant side of my ledger.
Be sure and tell us which Astro will hit a HR before it happens

He’s still good… on the balls he gets to
I think Cam will hit a HR this series.
