Nothing in the glass

The Pittsburgh Pirates bats were totally ineffective against four Milwaukee Brewer pitchers and the Pirates were defeated before what seemed to be next to no fans 6-0 at PNC Park.
Kevin Correia allowed six (four earned) runs in six innings in falling to 2-1 on the season.
Series concludes tonight at PNC Park before hopefully a few more fans than last night.

Pirate Hooks

1) Kevin Correia actually pitched well.
Milwaukee didn't get a hit off of him until the sixth and if Pedro Alvarez fields a Shaun Marcum sac bunt properly,Milwaukee doesn't score at all in the inning.
The breaking ball that Prince Fielder hit out hung,but it never should have gotten to that point.

2) The final Milwaukee run should not have scored either as a Shaun Marcum grounder to Ronny Cedeno should have clearly nailed the running Yunesky Betancourt at home,but Cedeno could not get the ball from his glove and had to settle for the out at first.

3) The Pirates were unable to get a runner to third all evening against a team that is not noted for stellar pitching.Pretty rough outing tonight with the sticks.

4) Not sure what the announced crowd was,but if there were 5,000 there,I would be shocked.
Between the weather and the Penguins playoff game,a small crowd was expected,but this was really bad...

5) Watched the Milwaukee feed due to the Penguins game and listened to the Milwaukee announcers rave about Nyjer Morgan's hustle after Morgan crashed into Ryan Doumit at home plate and knocked the ball from Doumit's grasp.
The same stuff that Greg Brown and the Washington guys used to feed fans about Morgan until he starts getting picked off base twice a series and misplaying fly balls every other game.
Effort has never been a question with Morgan,but his kamikaze style and less than smart mistakes have dogged him at every stop....
