The Fogg machine

Today our lineup features 1 and 2 hitters that are barely hitting .400 combined (though Tike and Jack are heating up lately) and Bay hitting third, in a 1-for-25 slump. Not much punch there, but thanks to a double error by Barmes on a routine grounder by Jack and a single by the D-Train we're already up 1-0 in the second. Lawton finally gets the off-day Lloyd's been promising him since about April 15th. Fogg looks pretty sharp through two, so hopefully we can string together enough runs to bring out the brooms today.

And of course I should mention that last night was Lloyd's 300th career victory. He's the 10th Pirates manager to reach the mark, and with as many complaints as I have about him, I suppose congratulations are still in order, so here's to 300 more, but only if they come in a (much) shorter time span.
