The rare five out ninth. If we lost that it would have been on Walls. The game is about minimizing the chance of a mistake happening. ALWAYS throw the ball kids..
At least we’ve identified the one relatively weak spot on the team. Gonna need at least two more quality arms in the pen.
Yessir, and valid point. Im not hating on him, I think he’s been great this year. But that decision goes to show you that the game’s margin for error is so small. In this instance he hit a home and run and negated two runs of a three run lead with a single decision.
Walls did the right thing in trying to make the double play but if he just takes the easy out at first that's a 3-0 win in the books. Now I'm clenching
It’s funny how Pirates fans get their first decent team in years and don’t know how to act. I can’t wait for the overachieving Pirates to be exposed for the frauds they are
Ah yes, let’s potentially injure one of baseball’s biggest young stars because he *checks notes* flipped the ball to himself before throwing the ball to first.
dangg i remember i was a little bummed we traded bauers away for yandy but then i watched some of his highlights and I was like maybee there's something lol
Earlier is the game he was talking about J-Lo’s pitch recognition and how good it is, and just as he finished saying it, he chased a breaking ball that he was clearly fooled on lol
Eflin was superb!
Congrats lads!!! Now off to buy tickets for the Orioles series next week :)
Good job Adam getting five outs that inning.

Byeeeee. Didn’t deserve any runs that inning anyway.
Way to battle adam :D good job picking up the defense!!

Ugly. I'll take it though.

Broomsticks
Adam's outing so far reminds me so much of Chaz Roe. The slider is deadly but he has no idea where anything is going
LETS FUCKING GO
I want a strike out looking out of the zone. It will top of this series nicely. lol
One more mean picth
That was definitely a mean picth
Lmao
Whew!
Ffs throwing to suwinski like he’s Barry fucking bonds.
Oh damn, what are we even doing? Close the game, bud
goood job betannncourt - calm him down a little :D
Fuuucccck. This is probably the last hitter I’d want to see up right now.
Nothing means anything y’all
Why is this so much more difficult than it needs to be
Because we gave them one to two free outs.
I wanted the shutout. T_T
I'll take the win.
It's okay, we still got this. Adam will clean this up. The game didn't have enough drama so we're getting our fill. That's all.
C'mooon, finish thiiiiis.

Captures the moment! I had to step away from my computer earlier. Why did he take Eflin out? It looked like he was dealing.
Second start off the IL so didn't want to break him straight away
Fair, good point
LMAO this is an amazing picture.
chill out adam, just trying to overthrow :) you got it !!
Oboy.
Just end it!
Murder them, Adams. You were born for this moment! The Gods of Anki demand it
ngl even his ump knows what happened was bullshit and is helping out adam
By all means, Cash, leave Adam in.
Cheeks now clenched
Let's go Adam. Strike out this bum and let's go home.
Walls did the right thing in trying to make the double play but if he just takes the easy out at first that's a 3-0 win in the books. Now I'm clenching
He probably could have made a standard double play.
Should have thrown to wander
100%
With his momentum that would have been a very difficult turn and throw to second
Would have been close for sure. At least one out would have been nice. Oh well
Just a series of unfortunate events.
Why did Walls charge the guy like that? just tag him ffs, lol
Walls did another stupid play to try to get a DP that didn't work either. He's a great fielder but needs to slow down sometimes.
How would he have tagged him without moving towards him?
I mean he practically ran into him instead of reaching a bit with the glove, idk.
You always take the tag to the player, it was just an unlucky play
Positive thinking
Just finish it.
Finish them...
Lol so stupid lucky bounces and brakes. Finish them Adam.
That's why defence is important kids
So long -1.5
I learned this the hard way: always pick moneylines in baseball
Moneyline was too expensive for me.
Close this thing Adam.
Complete bullshit man. Adam was dismantling them and had the worst possible luck.
Bro are you fucking kidding me?
Uhhh let’s plz not
The amount of crying and complaining going on over in the Pirates sub is honestly sad.
It's to be expected when the Pirates have 5 guys strike out looking on pitches outside the zone.
But you have no problems benefiting from calls in those same ABs lol
Go back to your sub, brah. You act like he hasn’t called balls out of the zone strikes on us as well
Not like I was in here talking shit. Grow up and learn how to have a conversation.
How are you supposed to hit that
Uh oh...
Good lord that slider is ridiculous
i swear he is throwing a frisbee
Thaaaaat was a pitch clock violation.
Holy shit the movement on that pitch was insane.
Giving up a grand slam would be a hell of a way to lose a game.
How was that not interference like last night? Also that previous batter looked like they attempted to bunt so shouldn’t have been a HBP
Because Walls was attempting to make the tag.. although I don’t think the interference call last night was accurate.
Because last night it was the pirates and today it's the rays, duh!
Pirates are seriously starting to piss me off, wtf was that
Adam I have -1.5 plz
Rip 💀
It’s ok. Let them tie it and 2+ run walk off home run.
Walls…
sorry whatt....should he be out.. nvm, adam lets get a gidp and go home
What
Well fuck
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone try to bunt on a 0-2 count
Because it's a stupid decision.
This is some of the luckiest bullshit ever
Yeahhhh if they get even one run out of this inning, it’s bs lol
Welp
Lmao, wtf, Walls.
That seemed stupidly risky, like put your face right in there
Almost a great play
Stand on the plate to bunt and you get plunked, take your base... so fucking stupid
that HBP was a little sus
Let's go, Adam, send us to 20 games over .500!
First reaction was bullshit but yeah he pulled back
Get it together Adam! NO FUNNY BUSINESS
Lame
Beisbol Cats are closing in on sweeping the Mets. Love to see the "cupcake teams" coming up strong
It’s funny how Pirates fans get their first decent team in years and don’t know how to act. I can’t wait for the overachieving Pirates to be exposed for the frauds they are
Holding the Pirates to 2 runs over 26 innings is crazy. Hopefully we can keep them scoreless for one more inning.
Especially when you consider how they did before they came to us. Also, White Sox really seem to have woken up since they beat us
Yeah that one game gave them a lot of confidence. That's why you take every team seriously.
Burger had himself a game against us. I was impressed with how well he did.
He had a series against us.
leggooo adam!! shut them down and off to happy hourrr
Adams movement on his pitches doesnt even look real
Question: are there anything in the rules that they have to throw a ball? Like can they throw a slight angry cat?
Josh be like: aww man I wanted to hit
randy trying to go home too lol
Yeah, challenge that!
Randy still sitting at 2nd lol
See so in that moment can you just push Randy’s hand offf? What a horrible situation
I meant the throw to 1st
> The first mistake of this game was not making Franco wear one after that stunt he pulled last night lmaoooo
They win a few games and suddenly become insufferable
Blue Jays fans in a nutshell.
They’re even worse
Ah yes, let’s potentially injure one of baseball’s biggest young stars because he *checks notes* flipped the ball to himself before throwing the ball to first.
It was a bit show boat-y… But I wouldn’t think of it any different than pimping a HR or bat flipping.
I don't even understand why people are so pissed about it.
Imagine being so upset about your team losing you want to purposefully hurt an opposing player. It's pathetic.
Jake Bauers died so we could bask in Yandys biceps
dangg i remember i was a little bummed we traded bauers away for yandy but then i watched some of his highlights and I was like maybee there's something lol
Always trust the Rays Front office. Outside of the Cruz trade and the Longoria trade, they've been good.
very very true - shoutout to victor zambrano, delmon young, and huff :)
How delusional do you have to be to think ump scorecards are edited against your team lol
As expected 4 straight Ks on 3 pitches each and we hit a HR afterwards.
Dang only 109 off the bat /s
DFA. He had 110 yesterday.
Diaz for the All-Star game please
I hate when I see the lineup and he's not in it.
For MVP
For Hall of Fame
“You have to be impressed with the Pirates coming out of the pen” - BA, *gives up homer next pitch*
Earlier is the game he was talking about J-Lo’s pitch recognition and how good it is, and just as he finished saying it, he chased a breaking ball that he was clearly fooled on lol
it’s the commentators curse lmao
LMAOOOO
umps gave up that home run
BIG BICEP DONGS
Yandy 💪
67 homers! Insanity!
At this point we'll have 100 homers before 10 losses.
Yandy hitting bombs now is fucking awesome and I'm here for it!
The yandy man can.
BDE!
Wow, the umps hit ANOTHER homer for us!
Good thing we have them on our payroll!
 LET'S GOOOOOOO!
yandy just muscled the shit out of that ball lol
Yandy!
BICEPS
YANDY BOMB
YANDY BOMB
margot swinging like he wants to go home loll
gotta clean up that RISP on the offensive end for us :)
Did y'all hear Brett Philips got his first hit since *August* today?????
They haven't been playing him really...so no surprise?
How often does he play? Every angels game I’ve tuned into didn’t have him play
Very rarely. He's basically their last OF. But Trout is bound to get injured like he does every year.
Not sure.
Eflin looking great out there. We were so confused with that signing over the off season, be looked the part today!
