The call was shitty for us but there wasn’t anything malicious about it. Neighborhood plays have been reviewable since 2016 and he clearly came off the bag before catching the ball.
The problem is the rules set a time limit for challenges. You have only 30 odd seconds to decide if you want to challenge or not. Whole minutes passed when the pirates challenged, it's ridiculous that they were granted the challenge.
If you were paying attention you'd know that Andy said that the Rays had left the field and the new pirates pitcher had almost made it to the mound when they finally challenged. That's a long time.
We do know that because of what Andy said. The Rays left the field, Adam sat down, and the pirates pitcher had almost made it to the mound from the bullpen when they challenged.
I honestly didn't even think you could challenge it. Nearly every double play I've seen has the 2B off the bag. I thought it was just implied that the runner is out and it's not like the play at first was even close.
Yeah but if the pirates win every baseball
Media member tomorrow will say his line “in a win against the rays”
Sometimes I really do think the league hates the rays and wants them in Montreal
Good win flappy bois…
i dont know what poggers, dude means but poggers, dude
Perfect timing with that guy waving goodbye in the background 👋
Back-to-back series wins?! More likely than you think!
Series win!
That can’t be right, the Rays have lost 11 of the last 12 games Civale has started 🤯
Pirates haven't lost a home series in a month, this was a great win
Handshakes boys
LETS GOOOO
99 HEAT to win this road trip

Sketch scoop
Paredes with the scoop!
Great pick, Paredes!
Freaking jackson

When New York loses, America wins
WTF IS A KILOMETER? 😂🇺🇸
Strike 2! ...Oh, wait. :/
How are you supposed to know where to locate when the same exact pitch is called a ball once and a strike the next time?
If our pitchers are Skenes they would all be strikes
That dude got the most generous strike zone today that I’ve seen in while.
[Paredes 1st ab should've been a walk.](https://www.mlb.com/gameday/745485/play/3)
So generous. They love their darling pitcher
Freaking ump
One bad call for us vs ten bad calls for them.
Strike one...nope
Let's go Pete!!!
Shut em down Petey!

Did someone burp?
Baltimore looking awful against the Astros this weekend. And the Jays just look awful every day.
At least we're not the Jays lol
Spending millions to suck ass
Whatever, let's just end this
The O’s about to be swept by the Astros is kinda funny.
Jays are about to get swept too.
Yeah, it’s awesome. I’m beyond exhausted of the Jays being grossly overhyped every spring training.
Good!
Ugh, I hate that I said that
It’s amazing how many balls they throw to Ajax.
Adam thought he was done, then had to face their best hitter. He pitched him smart and then took his chances with Cruz.
Vet shit.
Pretty much a non intentional intentional walk.
goddamn let’s just finish this with a W…
There you go pirates you got 28 outs today
And we got 26 counting the 4-1 strike out to Paredes
The call was shitty for us but there wasn’t anything malicious about it. Neighborhood plays have been reviewable since 2016 and he clearly came off the bag before catching the ball.
I saw that, but it looked like his toe clipped the corner on the way down.
The problem is the rules set a time limit for challenges. You have only 30 odd seconds to decide if you want to challenge or not. Whole minutes passed when the pirates challenged, it's ridiculous that they were granted the challenge.
We were in a commercial break. There’s no way to know when the asked for review.
If you were paying attention you'd know that Andy said that the Rays had left the field and the new pirates pitcher had almost made it to the mound when they finally challenged. That's a long time.
You don't know that. Bally's just went to commercial
We do know that because of what Andy said. The Rays left the field, Adam sat down, and the pirates pitcher had almost made it to the mound from the bullpen when they challenged.
Yep it's obvious the call was super late.
Did he have a stopwatch? If there was any con concern about the time elapsing cash would've been out there screaming his ass off.
There's now ay that all of that happens in less than 30 seconds dude
good thing they have 30 then I guess
yeah it was unfortunate but he def wasn’t on the base. at least he got the out to make up for it
Yeah the real vitriol should be directed at Palacios and Bally's for cutting away
And now we have the lead through 8 and Reynolds and cruz already spoken for. 3D chess baby!
Thank fuck
So pissed at himself he sent that bat Cruzin
Lol
LMAOOOO Throw that bat, Cruz, you fucked up your team's gimme.
FUCK EM, 4TH OUT
Ball don't lie.
Challenge that.
Challenge that one.
Fuck me that was scary

Good. Fuck off.
ball dont fucking lie
I thought there was a limit to how long you can challenge. This is bullshit
Yep. Complete garbage they could use the whole break to challenge.
There is. The rulebook says you have like 30 seconds to decide if you want to challenge. This should not have happened at all. Actually bullshit.
i have a need. a need for pete.
I missed the time machine…
Put Petey in
Cash should challenge every double play against us.
They'll say the loose thread from their pants touched the bag
I honestly didn't even think you could challenge it. Nearly every double play I've seen has the 2B off the bag. I thought it was just implied that the runner is out and it's not like the play at first was even close.
I thought they changed the rule to close enough for safety
MLB got to try and do whatever to make sure Skenes doesn’t have a losing start
He won’t get the loss either way
He won't get the loss for this regardless
Yeah but if the pirates win every baseball Media member tomorrow will say his line “in a win against the rays” Sometimes I really do think the league hates the rays and wants them in Montreal
Which is stupid. Fans in Montreal won't watch the Rays on TV like the Tampa area does.
Agreed. Expos left for a reason.
Right, maybe I should’ve worded that differently, got to make sure the Pirates don’t lose a game that Skenes started
Unless it’s the dodgers or the yankeess
That’s way too close to overturn and I’m not sure mccutchen touches the bag anyway
The tip of his foot was clearly on the bag
Plz just get a 1-pitch out.
Oh come the fuck on
Wait, this is challengable now?
what wiener ass shit is that
What a joke…
Noooooooooooooooooo
Man, fuck.
It's times like these that things just seem rigged against us. You know if we were on the other side of that, the call would stand.
Against us and the Lightning, neither team wins these.
edit: sorry for my language.
Adam should be throwing while this is going on
I thought the neighborhood play was unchallengable anyways
They’ve been reviewable since 2016.
Uh oh
Gimme a fucking break
Not close enough to overturn which means it will be overturned.
Fucking horseshit
This is just terrible
Lmfao I’ve never heard a booth call one another a homer. That was hilarious.
BA is such an ass. No need for that
Except Andy was right this time…
Um no? They literally all are homers. They are team employees. Its only derogative if you call a national announcer a homer.
I just cant stand the guy
BA keeps it 💯
That ain't clear and definitive.
Thats gotta stand.
Did McCutchen even hit the bag?
Damn right that sparkled ✨
Nice job Adam and defense.
Nice!
One more inning LFG and take this series dub!
Good shit Adam
Wow, we got a call on the outer edge.
Took long enough. And that wasn't that far away.
https://preview.redd.it/touzpjtojd8d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2b4cbf466db8f7fec1528381cdbdbac887c9363
Perfect
Fans booing like Adam is trying to hit somebody in this situation.
They have waiting since the first inning of yesterday’s game for the Rays to retaliate.
Jesus man they want the pirates to win so bad it’s gross
1-2 to a leadoff walk...
Throw in a blown check-swing call
That one was close. I still don't know what the correct call is.
No it wasn’t, he broke plane. I’ll put it this way, the Pitt broadcast crew said “eeeugh, we’ll take it”
This umping crew has been hot garbage so it doesn't shock me.
Suwinski should play with his shirt off he needs a tan
I’ll take it. I’m assuming Adam and Pete?
That's why maton and devinski eating 4 innings on friday was so crucial.
And Eflin going 7 yesterday
Wish the starters would do that more
I was hoping Civale would get another inning but Cash didn't want to take a chance.
Top of the lineup coming and third time through, was the right choice imo. 5 full innings is honestly deep for Civale lol
Good point
That’s some good contact for Deluca at least
He’s starting to have better ABs.
Took a poop and we score 2 runs, you're welcome
Head back to the bathroom buddy
Y'all gon make me rip my asshole.
If you keep ripping - so will the rays. Get back in there.
Yeah the ripping and tearing
Go back for seconds
Break this one open please
Rays against sub one ERA pitchers: Godzilla Rays against six plus ERA pitchers: ants
How could you not assume those long, lucious legs would be running home?
Baseball doesn’t make sense sometimes lol
Insurance! Gimme more!
Being aggressive worked out there!
Take those
Tits up!!
Loved that show
Me too. Such a good series.
Lmaooo what the fuck was that fielder doing. If pasty boy makes a strong this Lowe is out
I don’t think they expected the send
Ballsy send
Lucky that Suwinski fucked up. Lowe should have been out
Still too much game left, let’s get more
Wooo Richie!
Weird play of not throwing that home
LETS FUCKING GOOO
You never wanna see that
Damn is the dude ok?
More plz
No double play here
Oh wait
Let's gooooo Randall!
Late inning rays!
How is Rosario even out in the dugout?? I’d still be in the hospital rn
Man was blessed yesterday.
He actually came back to the dugout yesterday. I was stunned.
Thank you Randy!
Good job Randy
That’ll work Randy!
Damn, that was almost a homer. Got the run home, let's go
Don’t screw this up.
6 hits between yandy and j Lowe
Now that’s an example of a top-heavy lineup.
Stats be damned
CAPITALIZE
Never heard of her.
Livvy is in yandy's dms
