Why is hurdle so mad at that gum?
Pittsburgh announcers say they can't figure out what is going on, just don't understand what this is about.
Pittsburgh boils my blood in every pro sport. Such a garbage fan base.

Bell out there to get tossed again?
David Bell is pissed! He has a right to be
Bell's gonna get tossed. Then Benivedes will get tossed after retaliation. Who's next skipper up?
Missed the beaning. Time to start throwing at Pirates’ heads.

I do like how Bell backs his players. Hes out there very quickly whenever something happens at all

Honestly-- the real issue there was the lack of a left hander in the pen. Bell wanted to save Amir I guess, so really there was no other option than to ride with Disco, or bring in a right handed reliever. Literally a No Win situation. Leave in Disco who gets crushed by lefties, or a right handed reliever who gets crushed slightly less vs lefties. My (slight) beef is him not having Amir warming up-- considering how Bell was due up 3rd in the inning and he has been a beast this year.
I'm pretty sure the Reds now will be looking for a way to add another lefty to the pen. Be it calling Peralta back up, or someone else. (TBF- Peralta was worse against lefties than righties. Same with Zach Duke.) The Reds really only have 2 good options out of the pen vs lefties. Amir and Iglesias. The Reds can't keep going with just 1 lefty out of the pen. This won't be the last time this year a team loads up on lefties to where the Reds need multiple lefties out of the pen in a game.
Oh well, I'm not going to let this one bother me. Still being shutout anyway. Time to take 2 of 3 vs Washington and then 2 of 3 vs St Louis.
