07/01/2015: Pittsburgh Pirates (Liriano) at Detroit Tigers (Ryan) - 1:08 PM

[Casimir 1,285]

No hitter still intact.

I truly hope that you feel an appropriate amount of shame.

[HighHeat 10]

Offense making it look easy for Liriano! Hopefully they don't figure out Ryan the second time through their lineup.

[ROMAD1 2,489]

1-0...lets hope that's the end of the scoring for the Pirates today

[HighHeat 10]

Have we ever had a lead at any time during this series???

[ROMAD1 2,489]

actually we led briefly last night.

[yeahbuddy 10]

Tigers threaten but don't score.

[HighHeat 10]

Well, on the positive side we actually got a runner in scoring position, raised liriano's pitch count a little, and did not hit into a double play!

[HighHeat 10]

Uh oh a 4 pitch lead off walk. Ryan's command is all but gone. Is Wilson or hardy up???

[doughash 10]

So it's a brand new season again if we lose today? This could go on all summer.

Kyle Ryan is not an effective starting pitcher but could be okay out of the bullpen:

[HighHeat 10]

Do we pitch to McCutchen??!

[ROMAD1 2,489]

al al is pitching with runners on...sheesh

[Casimir 1,285]

Alburquerque's arm might fall off today.

ABQ did fine.

[BoomGaspar 81]

Umpire is garbage.

[Casimir 1,285]

Somebody better wake Geno up.

[Who is the Drizzle? 588]

My enthusiasm for this team may have just run out. It seems like the S.O.S. Radio feed is going off, music feed is going on.

[Sydney_Fife 368]

This team is just not very good

[Mr. Bigglesworth 3,215]

ABQ did fine.

Spoke too soon.

[HighHeat 10]

Kinsler must lead the league in 1 pitch outs.

I'm actually shocked we are still above .500 (for the next hour or so) considering the way this team is playing. I'm not the type to panic but I'm really starting to wonder if its not time for a managerial change. Something needs to change, I'm not sure its Brad's fault that the SP has been terrible and we can't score runs but I'm running out of answers. At the very least, I'd like to see a lineup change to the following:

1) Iglesias

2) Miggy

3) VMart

4) JD

5) Cespedes

6) Kinsler

7) Avila/McCann

8) Castellanos

9) Gose/Davis

[HighHeat 10]

Anything but a double play Victor. Please!!!

[Sydney_Fife 368]

I would play Davis more and lead him off. Switch J.D. and Kinsler in the lineup.

[HighHeat 10]

Not the greatest plate discipline there by Victor and Cespedes.

[Waterfallguy59 10]

I think this team needs a good-old fashioned *** chewing by a Jim Leyland type of manager
