It really is insane, that during the shitty economic times we're in, you can be such abject failures like Cherington and Shelton, and continue to be employed.

Say what you will about Tomlin and Sullivan (both deserve to be canned as well) but they at least have major bullet points on their resumes, namely championship(s).

More boneheaded base running by the Bucs. This time, Hayes gets an RBI and rounds 1st too far and is promptly thrown out by the Nat's catcher.

Is he always that stunned of a baserunner? I tuned into this game as it's the first one on.

Remember a couple of years ago when he homered, but didn't tag first base and was subsequently called out, instead?

 

[ImporterExporter]

This team runs into more outs than I've ever seen in a pro team. It's unreal.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Those are the margins where Shelton said the team needs to be winning.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Well... 10 runs and a win with zero homers lol... That's some more crazy pirates shit

They have almost no normal games

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

That's probably going to be their allotment of the runs for the week.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Only the week? Lol. You're quite optimistic lol

 

[MrBrightside]

 

[BusinessGoose]

Yeah but, our injuries are more important because we can't afford any of our C+ players out, as the replacement dudes are three bad days from bagging groceries for a living

A thought on the regression from 2023.

If you asked a Pirates fan what their lineup for 2025 would be as of the end of 2023, they may say something like (at least 1-7)

C Rodriguez
RF Reynolds
ss Cruz
3B Hayes
DH Davis
CF good acquisition
RF Suwinski

So the fact that #1, #5, and #7 are having their careers implode and who knows with #4, and the acquisitions just ended up becoming IKF and Horowitz who is hurt...

Like basically all the worst outcomes happened. Really badly managed organization along with putting bets on the wrong players especially Davis and Suwinski

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I am kind of hoping that Horwitz is not able to play at all this season because 1) it would mean Nutting paid money to a guy who did not play a single game and 2) it would likely lead to Cherington being canned.

Yeah it's pretty much we lost on every gamble for half a decade, at least

 

[wheelz87]

so yep looks like we scored our allotment for the week last night.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Surprised Passan had time away from talking about the Dodgers.

Surprised Passan had time away from talking about the Dodgers.

I didn't even watch it

There's zero talking points he's going to have that
A) pirates fans don't already f***ing know
B) that any fan of baseball can look at us and figure out in like 12 seconds

We're a f***ing joke top to bottom. It is what it is.

Honestly they should just run with this the entire year. Better than crap like Valdez and Canario getting ABs just fail with it and maybe they improve with consistent playing time.

Dollar dog day is always the best

 

[Booker T]

Holy shit some offense

 

[Booker T]

Bench’s cleared! Lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

Happy to see Davis hit a HR early in his call-up, really hope he keeps up the pace. Between that and a RBI groundout, he's having a nice game.
