Gonzales!!!!!!

Yohan Ramirez coming on for the save is not a sentence I want to hear this year but here we are. Get it done Yohan.

#RaiseIt nice series win in Milwaukee

Tomorrow looks very tough with Harrison vs Mlod being the pitching matchup and the Pirates fielding their right handed heavy lineup so big to get the series win today.

Order nailed perfectly but they are arranging the outfielders differently.

That is good work from Mangum and Gonzales to at least work that pitch count.

With tomorrow looking like a bullpen game probably need Sisk to eat some innings here and be rewarded with being sent down for a fresh arm.

I assumed Montgomery wouldn’t pitch another inning because they didn’t want to risk Dotel coming in with runners on but since Lawrence is next up I think you should have tried to get a second inning out of him.

Santana was due for something like this. Unfortunate it came on a night where they really had no choice but to leave him out there.

Blown saves happen. Good teams will occasionally win them anyway. Let’s see what the Bucs have in them.

Expected move but I was thinking there would be a second. Bullpen is a little tight tonight. Ramirez and Soto should be good to go without issue but beyond them it gets dicey.

Yohan and Soto should definitely be available tonight. Seriously doubt Dotel and Sisk will be. The rest are probably in prefer not to use territory but seems likely at least one will need to be.

Ah there we go. I was stunned there wasn’t another move besides Ashcraft. This gives them some breathing room today.

Barco going to have to take this one on the chin tonight. Would be great if he can just finish it off.

If it wasn’t for the rule limiting the times a player could be optioned I’d assume Barco would be headed back down tomorrow. Still might do it but probably less likely.

Hat tip to Barco for wearing one today. Wonder if they swap him out tomorrow for another fresh arm. Harrington should be ready to go.
