OT Pirates

[WDLion]

Until tonight the Pirates had lost 140 straight games when trailing going into the 9th inning.
How is that possible?

Not at all like the '60 Bucs.

May have something to do with the owner's bulging bank account.

I was not aware of that. It is almost beyond belief.

I blame McCutchen.

Well closers have become better but that is a ridiculous stat.

Hadn't faced the Phillies that's why!!!

Yes it is but that's what the announcers said.

The Pirates were able to take advantage of their own reject - Jeanmar Gomez. It confounds me how a guy with an ERA of 3.70, a WHIP of 1.32 and only 44 Ks in 65.2 innings has managed to get 36 saves.
