Vogelsong out of the game after getting hit in the head by a pitch from Jordan Lyles (not intentional).
Was down for a while, but did move, and they think it got mostly helmet. On his way to the hospital.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor

Will Marte hit another HR before the AS break?"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Originally posted by joncarlos View PostThey seem really reluctant to call him up. I would say he is going to need 3-4 starts in a row at Indy where he has 0-1 walks. Or the Pirates offense getting scorching hot for 2 weeks and convincing them that they are still serious contenders, winning while Locke and Kuhl get immolated so there's a spot for Glasnow.
As for Glasnow, and this is just a wild guess. If i'm the Pirates, i call him up on Friday (6 days after his last start) for the first game of the Cubs series at PNC Park. Super two has passed, the Cubs have been kicking the Pirates asses all season, and it's time to take the gloves off with this kid who probably has the best stuff in the entire organization. So, let's see what he can do against the best team in baseball. Maybe he'll walk ten batters in three innings. But, there is also a chance he could shut them down and help jump start the Pirates season and build some momentum for the second half when Cole and Cervelli return. The Pirates need a spark and Glasnow could very well provide it. Now is the perfect time to go for it.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Taillon to the DL with shoulder fatigue. Steven Brault called up to start tomorrow. That makes 4 of 5 AAA starters now called up. Guess who the 5th one is.
Also, Gerrit Cole (DL) is pitching in AAA tomorrow.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

uh oh:
Pirates infielder Jung-Ho Kang is under investigation in connection with an alleged sexual assault that took place in Chicago last month. A police spokesman confirmed to the Chicago Tribune that Kang is being investigated, but has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
