Alright, let’s talk about this Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates game, you know, the one where them fellers were hittin’ the ball and runnin’ around. I ain’t no fancy expert, but I can tell ya what I saw, or what they told me happened, seein’ as I mostly just heard it on the radio while I was fixin’ supper.
So, first off, the Pirates, them scrappy fellers, they beat the Yankees. Yeah, you heard that right. Pirates won 4-2. Heard tell there were a whole bunch of folks watchin’, somethin’ like 41,778 of ’em. Took ’em near three hours to finish the whole thing, too. Guess them boys were busy swingin’ and catchin’.
- Game Result: Pirates beat Yankees, 4-2.
- Attendance: 41,778
- Game Time: 2:48
Now, some feller named Bryan Reynolds, he was somethin’ else. They say he was hittin’ the ball real good, like a real pro. Folks talkin’ ’bout his “BABIP” and whatnot, sounds like fancy talk to me, but I reckon it means he’s good at gettin’ hits. He even smacked two home runs, they said. Twice! That boy’s got some swing, I tell ya.
And that young pitcher for the Pirates, Paul Skenes, they say he pitched two whole innings without lettin’ anyone get on base. Not a single hit, not a single walk, nothin’. Perfect, they called it. Guess he was throwin’ that ball real hard and fast, makin’ them Yankee fellers look silly.
But them Yankees, they weren’t just gonna lay down and quit, no sir. They got some hitters too, but seems like they couldn’t quite get it goin’ that day. Luis Gil, that rookie pitcher for the Yankees, he had a tough time of it, though. The Pirates, they hit four home runs off of him! Ouch! That’s gotta sting a bit. Poor feller, probably just needs a bit more practice, maybe a good home-cooked meal.
I heard someone mention somethin’ about comparing the teams, lookin’ at their “head-to-head stats.” Sounds complicated, but I guess it just means figurin’ out who’s won more games and all that. They talked about championships and win-loss percentages. All I know is the Pirates won this one, and that’s what matters.
And get this, they was talkin’ about some old-timer, Wilbur Cooper, played way back when. Said he won more games than any other Pirates pitcher, somethin’ like 202 wins. That’s a whole lotta winnin’, I tell ya. Makes ya wonder how he did it. Maybe he ate his vegetables and got a good night’s sleep, just like my mama always told me.
So, there you have it. Pirates beat the Yankees. Reynolds hit some home runs. Skenes pitched real good. And some old feller named Cooper won a whole bunch of games back in the day. That’s about all I can make of it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits before they burn.
Key Takeaways: Pirates won, Reynolds and Skenes were great, Gil struggled, and some old guy named Cooper was a real winner. It was a good game for the Pirates, I guess. Yankees? Well, they’ll get ‘em next time, maybe. That’s baseball for ya, one day you’re up, the next you’re down. Just like my prize-winning tomatoes. They was doin’ real well, then the hail came. But that’s another story for another time. Anyways, good game, good game.
Final Score: Like I said, Pirates 4, Yankees 2. Don’t forget it now!
