Walking Snider to get to Hopeless....smart move.

[Rocco]

Blimpo with a double that would have scored Cutch...had he not tried to score on a ground ball to Walker. (Though it was a great play by Ramirez to cut the run down at the plate.) Bases now loaded for Hopeless, so Locke will have a 2-0 lead when he takes the mound again.

[ulf]

At least he's 6th in UZR

[jimreb]

Come on Locke, don't Maholm this.

[Rocco]

I mean, if you're not gonna hit at all, Hopeless, the least you can do is make good defensive plays.

[jimreb]

Locke with his first hit of the year on a nine pitch at bat, nice....bat him 8th and Hopeless 9th

[Rocco]

Blass and Neverett may be drunk.

[BigMcK]

Boy those field level seats along the third base line look comfy.

[Rocco]

Looks like the Bucs have decided to shut the offense down for the evening. Hopefully Locke doesn't need any more runs.

[Geezer]

Walk agreeing with a Blass comparison of Locke being similar to Harvey Haddix. I thought that early in the season but didn't figure many posters ever saw him.

[BigMcK]

Sandy Koufax bobblehead night looks cool, June 21.

Barmes just bought himself 20 more starts.

[shafnutz05]

I am really, really excited with what I have seen from Locke thus far this season.

Tonight, 7 innings of 2-hit ball, only 75 pitches. That is working efficiently.

[shafnutz05]

And just as I say that...............wtf Hurdle?

[Rocco]

And just as I say that...............wtf Hurdle? You stupid **** son of a *****

7 innings and the Pirates are leading. Hurdle's a man of routine. Plus he needs to get Inge into the game.

Just tremendously frustrating. Locke is visibly pissed off in the dugout. The kid has a chance to throw a complete game shutout, and you pinch-hit Inge? Granted, he may have blown the lead, but just aggravating.

[DudeMan2766]

Jeff Locke, my friend, you've just been Hurdled

[Rocco]

2 men in scoring position. Stop that, Melancon. Stop that right now.

[Bioshock]

Wow, if the Pirates give up two runs here and lose, Hurdle screwed them single-handedly

[jimreb]

Juan Uribe looks about 50 in his mlb.com gameday photo.

[shafnutz05]

Wow, if the Pirates give up two runs here and lose, Hurdle screwed them single-handedly

But at least Melancon will get some work.

[shafnutz05]

Thank God.............wow.

[Rocco]

Exhale, everyone.

[jimreb]

Whew, got out of that one.

[Rylan]

Wow Cutch is fast.
