OT: Pirates Talk: Lets Play Ball

[BusinessGoose]

This is, sadly, the more likely scenario.

Got to park the SHEETZ quick serve food truck presented by AHN and Renewal by Anderson, somewhere

This was more of a humiliation. Though every day is basically.

They got a real impact bat to offset their low end pitching and will win the division

Tommy Pham is going to be really impactful for the Pirates this sesaon... not in a good way... but still very impactful.

 

[cookthebooks]

do any sites still give free daily pirates prospects updates?

 

[Coastal Kev]

I may be an old fart, but can someone please explain to me when with 2 strikes, choking up, shortening your swing and putting the ball in play became passé?

A fan apparently fell from seats above the Clemente wall and landed on the warning track. They were stretchered off eventually. It looked pretty bad from what little I could see on tv. Hopefully they are ok.

There is an animated gif out there showing the fall. Head first from 21 feet.

I didn't look at it.

I saw the video of the incident and all I can think of is the guy was drunk. Zero other explanation for how that was possible.

He like jumped up due to excitement but held onto the wall and somehow flipped himself over the Clemente wall. It almost looks intentional.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, the footage was very grainy and from a long way’s off, and even with those caveats it looked awful. Can only hope he can recover from the injuries he undoubtedly suffered.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Yeah, looks really bad, and you could tell from the players' reaction that it was a really scary moment. Hoping for the best, heard a rumor from a friend of a friend who works at the hospital that he's currently intubated, which I suppose under the circumstances is the best possible news to hear. I also saw some people say the ambulance left the stadium with sirens, which again is as good a sign as any absent other details (since no sirens would mean he was pronounced dead I think).

Hoping for the best.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I can post a link from Twitter, but not if anyone might get upset because it is triggering.

 

[Ugene Magic]

That's pretty crazy, like he meant to jump.

probably drunk, which might end up saving him.

prayers out to him...

Cutch is our MVP

A dude on what should be a farewell tour

Our damn MVP

Hunter Barco is a guy to also keep an eye on from the prospect pool. Just making a mockery of AA ball so far. Liked him a lot coming out of UF. We could use a quality lefty in the rotation and this kid has mid rotation upside certainly.
