Here are a list of awful things that happened to the Pirates today:
- Ryan Vogelsong dominated them.
- The longer Ryan Vogelsong pitched, the better he looked.
- Pretty much everyone made an error.
- Brandon Wood and Pedro Alvarez and Andrew McCutchen offered Vogelsong as much resistance at the plate as cardboard cutouts.
- Jeff Karstens made one of his better starts as a Pirate, but the defense abandoned him.
This is one of those games that’s particularly hard to build a wall around and move on from. Because the overwhelming feeling I had from listening/watching all afternoon was, “Wow, this team is really not very good.”
Just an all-around ugly series against the Giants, even if the Bucs managed a win in the middle game.
