Nice to see Samardzija keep his pitch count down. Hope he can work into the 7th.

Well Liriano up to 80 pitches. Those early SO's have pushed up his pitch count early. Shark at 48 with 2 SO's.

Think we will get into the pen soon.

Middle of the order with 7 LOB already. The Castro-Rizzo-Olt trio off to a rough start

Rizzo swung right through "his" pitch on 2-1 then whiffed bad on that slider. Then Olt wasn't able to fully extend on that last pitch. Baby steps. It's gonna' be painful to watch these guys cut their teeth. Exciting, but painful.

Holy **** this is nuts. Guys chasing every fucking pitch doesn't make sense when Liriano isn't throwing strikes

Pitchers tend to be ahead of pitchers early in seasons anyways. I'm not trying to excuse their poor days but Pittsburgh is in a similar situation today though they haven't had as many in scoring position.

Shark with some attitude after that K. Bonafacio with the double to lead off the 8th.
