Pitt Game 2

[scane]

It would have been unfathomable to me at the start of the season that Van Belle has been our best pitcher to this point. If he can give you a clean outing tomorrow, it may be time to move him up to Saturday. This may just be rearrange deck chairs at this point though.

 

[scane]

Vilar looks so much more comfortable again at the plate the last week or so

 

[scane]

Toral was robbed at the top of the fence

 

[scane]

6-4 after an RBI single from Zamora and sac fly from Gates surrounding Toral’s would be game tying homer.

 

[scane]

After two quick outs, Gates walks the bases loaded on 13 pitches

 

[Lance Roffers]

That's excruciating.

 

[scane]

Ball four isn’t close. 7-4. Two out free passes have killed us today.

 

[Lance Roffers]

Gates literally just walked four straight dudes with two outs. Unbelievable.

 

[scane]

Keysor gets it done on two pitches

 

[GAhurricane]

His command is getting worse and worse

 

[scane]

The offense keeps coming. Vilar makes it 7-6. If we could just stop giving up two out walks....

Pitt going to the bullpen

 

[scane]

Del Castillo! Canes lead 9-7

 

[scane]

Keysor responds with a leadoff walk

 

[scane]

Two strikeouts and a great play by Vilar finally gets us a shutdown inning

 

[scane]

Escala has looked so, so bad at the plate today

 

[scane]

Jenkins in as defensive sub for Rivera

Lala has moved over to left

 

[scane]

Back to back singles to leadoff the inning for Pitt. Time to make a change, but DiMare doesn’t again

 

[scane]

Successful hit and run makes it 9-8. DiMare finally makes the change to Cook. He was pretty clearly ready for the last batter, but DiMare decided to play matchups.

Still runners on the corners with no outs.

 

[scane]

Cook walks Perry, and DiMare goes to Mixon. Loaded, no outs.

Not sure what's going on, but our pitching has regressed. Worst weekend of the season.
