The last two times I’ve been at Durham Bulls/Indianapolis Indians games, Andrew McCutchen has combined to hit five home runs (I got rained out of the one game I tried to get to when Indy was in town last year). I’ve got some stuff about the Indy game that I’ll have posted tomorrow, so let’s get the quick hits on the Pirates game done.
Actually, I don’t have much to add here. I’m going to officially classify Andrew McCutchen as “heating up” after his 3-for-4 two-homer night, but it looks like things got out of hand pretty quickly once the wheels fell off for Kevin Correia. Michael Crotta probably earned his ticket out of Pittsburgh with the latest in a line of ugly performances, and a game that had me saying, “I can’t believe it’s still 0-0” when I checked my phone in the top of the sixth then had me saying, “10? 10-2? That quickly?” when I checked back in the eighth. Kevin Correia is going to give up runs on some nights, though, and the bullpen is going to melt down on some nights, so I guess maybe we should be happy as Pirate fans that they at least synchronized bad outings so that they only really torpedoed one game instead of two.
