Tough match up with Kershaw. Hopefully the lineup shuffle gets this team out of the funk.

LET'S GO BUCS!

And Walker goes down with a bad wrist/thumb injury. It doesn't look good at all.

Geez. How did it happen?

My guess is he broke his wrist...have done it myself 5 times...landed on it getting taken out on a double play...had the limp wrist going off the field and was in big time pain when it happened...i will be really surprised if it is not fractured...

Yeah, did not look good at all. Crummy start of the game again. Swinging bunt single by our new tormentor Victorino, goes to second on error by Harrison, single on ball misplayed by Jones, Victorino scores on play Walker was hurt.

Just said preliminary report is a dislocated finger. If true, the best we could have hoped for.

Walker is hurt?!

What in sea raving whores is going onl?!

Roving, NSMaster -- with an "o." Get it right.

During this stretch, we are getting absolutely no calls. Second night in a row we didn't get a called 3rd strike, on a ball that was a strike, and had a strike 'em out, throw 'em out negated that of course led to a run This SUCKS!!!!!

So who plays second if Neil is out for awhile? Harrison? Mercer?

d'Arnaud?

Thusfar in their Pirates tenures, Wandy Rodriguez is the anti-A.J. Burnett. The fans really let him have it when he stood in the batter's box and watched his slow roller to 3B.

Wow, eight hits given up in 3 1/3 innings. Granted they are all singles, but still.....

Edit: and there's a double.....

Still Editing: and there's another double and Wandy is pushing 80 pitches for 4 innings. 10 hits 5 runs given up, I'm going to wait Pedro, Cutch and Sanchez out to see if they can do anything, but my time with this game is short, I fear...

Mommy, make it stop!

following this one loosely...

wasn't first base open? why not IBB Kemp?

Gooooood question.

That was nice, Cutch. A sight for sore eyes. What's the internet equivalent saying if you're just following the game on GameCast?

Anyone else notice we get zero calls from the umps ever since that terrible umpired series where we got jobbed by the umps on at least a half dozen big, horrible calls in that Cincy series?

Could Brock Holt get his feet wet? Greg Brown was talking about Anderson Hernandez, but I hope not. Known quantity- don't want that quantity.

I'd sooner bring up Navarro.
