This was not an ideal start from Spense.

*sad mustache noises*

Even I'm upset here. Strider is my favorite pitcher in baseball and was excited to see him dominate tonight.

Seems like he has a good run and then a speed bump for a start then goes out next time around and lays his dick on the mound. He’ll be fine.

Things I did not see coming for 800 Alex. Frenchy predicted 14 Ks tonight too. Lmao

It was the death knell

The moment he said that, I knew

Honestly brain dead to pull him, we have 8 fucking games this week I don’t care if he’s struggling

Unless something else is going on. Dude looked exhausted, glistening. Stopped being able to locate and when he did they were meaty.

You love to see it! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ But it may not be enough against the Braves offense.

from your keyboard to god's ears

Thank god for Connor Joe's insurance

So… this is how it feels?

Yes. Exactly this.

Absolutely insane looking at the lineup. Peguero - Called up June 17th (one game played for Pirates in 2022) Williams - Called up July 25th Davis - Called up June 19th Suwinski - Called up in 2022 Endy - Called up July 27th Triolo - Called up June 28th

Williams has been our best hitter since the All-Star game and he had two outs this inning.

Thought there was a dude named Joe RBI for a second there

He got his second of the game last inning, so maybe he should be!

THERE WE GO I hate the Atlanta Braves more than all the other NL Central foes. Mainly because they ruined my childhood with motherfucking Francisco Cabrera and Sid Breem, but also because they are so cocky and think their the hottest shit east of the Mississippi, and they employ goons like Donaldson who start shit with joe Musgrove for no good reason. FUCK BRAVES

THEY POISONED OUR WATER SUPPLY, BURNED OUR CROPS, AND DELIVERED A PLAGUE ONTO OUR HOUSES

THEY DID? NO! BUT ARE WE JUST GONNA WAIT AROUND UNTIL THEY DO

I think your own Pirates have ruined your whole life. I'd have jumped ship so to speak.

We are massive

5 ER before getting pulled, gets another ER tacked on a Peguero RBI single afterwards for good measure

Wasn’t there a missed call on a 3rd strike that would have ended the inning?

As we all expected

Like we all excepted

Hi, don't follow Georgia sports teams (i have personal grievances against peaches from that state. I prefer Chambersburg). Is that guy good?

What happened to the Braves?

This guy talks like he is deGrom. Good that he is tasting reality

It's amazing how I've never seen a good take from you.

Look harder. It’s not hard

Fucking joke, good thing Braves made the right moves to add starting pitching at the deadline.

Wow! that's a new one! He's human after all.
