[neverbeenhere]

it was so winnable, just given away 

[dancingmachine]

Terrible game on to the next one 

[june.june]

Varsho 0-3 yesterday with a walk

 

today 0-4 

 

just when I was about to jump on his bandwagon but man, this guy high strike out rate is like the batting average of the league leader hitter

 

disgusting 

[neverbeenhere]

Little is worse than Green 

[Omar]

Well if Vladdy is okay I don't mind losing.  Keep hope alive.

Seriously though, Little needs a break.  Take a seat son.

[jmomcc]

Hope Vlad is ok, but otherwise just bin this one and move on.

How long could a Hammy injury land Vlad out for?

Mild strains can be just a few weeks. Bad ones could be months. 

[Omar]

Schneider said after the game re Vladdy injury:  A little tightness, will get an mri tonight.  Hopefully ready to go in a day or two.

Hopeful I guess.

[jmomcc]

Schneider doesn't sound too worried in the post game interview.

Vlad did the splits and then ran off the field like normal, so hopefully it’s nothing major. Let him take the rest of the series off and see if he’s good to go Friday.

I looked at the replay after that big stretch and he jumped up and left the field just fine. So...if he tweaked it prior to the play or on that play... it appears very precautionary

Yeah, some very uncharacteristic errors on throws today.

Just one of those days that happen over the course of 162.

He was pointing at his hammy in the bottom of the 1st saying it was bad in spanish, SN showed it, then after the splits play he came back out for the 4th, it likely got a bit tighter and they proceeded with caution, and took him out in the 5th. Seems minor to me, but they did mention an MRI.

Yeah, its nice they have such quick access to MRIs to rule out anything major

Yup, they literally gifted them 3 runs late, pretty fugly way to lose. But onto the next.

It's not so much that they lost to the Pirates but how they lost that hurts. 

If Skenes was untouchable and a couple of their guys ran into one, it's easier to live with than the horror show that transpired.

Either way, time only moves in one direction on to the next one.

Could see some more fireworks tonight with Mad Max on the mound. Watch yourself, Pham.

Remember when half the losers on this board wanted Pham at the deadline? or in the offseason? Dude is an absolute headcase and not worth the paper his contract requires.
