OT: Pirates Talk: Lets Play Ball

[ImporterExporter]

Hello lawsuit.

Bob's lawyers will likely argue that because PNC was built largely with taxpayer funds, the liable party, is thus the taxpayers.

Langford has 1 rbi against a a non Oakland team this season

 

[ChaosAgent]

The rotation next week should be: Skenes, Chandler, Barco, Heaney, Keller. It is beyond time.

This is definitely a sentence

Oakland doesn't have a team.

 

[BusinessGoose]

This team needs as many Langfords and skenes as possible

Arguing one over the other is getting really way out in the weeds

We f***ing suck

You could put prime juiced bonds, mcgwire, and sosa and we would still blow the lead in the 7th any given night when a holderman trots out

Not if I am on the jury.

Nutting solely liable.

A billion and a half dollars in damages.

Has to sell the team.

My point is his success is because of playing against 1 team mostly

Pitching is not the issue our big offensive acquisition is still hurt. I big free agent ticket is on dfa watch

So what? Langford projects as a superstar type of offensive player, basically a 2011-2015 Cutch level star. Skenes was still the right pick probably and certainly it's more fun. But this little trivia factoid changes nothing. Crews was the wrong pick in 2023. Either Langford or Skenes was the correct pick.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Keller is such a perpetual disappointment.

 

[MrBrightside]

There can’t be a worse defensive OF in baseball.

I didn’t think this season would go well but this is even so much worse than I expected.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

I laughed watching an Bmore game and they were talking about the gm taking full accountability for the lack of pitching. Like dam we got no offense and yet no one is talking about accountability

 

[ChaosAgent]

Bednar and being unclutch. Name a better combo.

This team is losing 100

 

[TNT87]

2nd time they have lost this season from a Bednar wild pitch.

It was really from going 0 for infinity with RISP. Cruz has been a huge bright spot but everything else has come off the rails completely. I think Cherington is a bigger problem than Shelton but you don't really fire a GM Mid-season. If Shelton can't put together a stretch of .500ish baseball for 3-4 weeks now, he should be gone by Memorial Day. Maybe it sparks them.

They are 3-14 against teams with winning records this season, and they are 33-56 since August 1 of last season. They've scored more than 4 runs once in two weeks. It's over - just a matter of time until they call it - Horwitz isn't fixing this offense. The really depressing thing is that other than Chandler, they have very little coming that you'd even have reason to be excited to see while they play out the string for the next 5 months.

I think Chandler, Barco, Jones (as skeptical as I am with him) is a nice pitching cavalry. Offensively though, it is a disaster. Horwitz, Nicky G, Yorke has been very disappointing in Indy. Endy and Davis both are offensive busts and a developmental black eye on the organization. Giving Hayes and GIDPReynolds our meager funds, and oh yeah, 4.4 Era Mitch, is firable.

I could see Shelton getting another job down the road, but this will be Cherington's last GM position.

I would seriously be stunned if Derek Shelton is ever an MLB manager again.

John Russell got a job after the Pirates. Idk.

Barco has thrown 25 innings above A so I don’t see him being part of this rotation this season. Jones, we’ll see, but most of these “rest and rehab” elbow injuries are just delaying the inevitable TJS. Maybe things just seem gloomier than they should right now but it’s not great.

 

[wheelz87]

Kebryan error leads to a run and about 15-20 more pitches in the inning..

 

[Shrimper]

Kebryan stinks.

Heaney 66 pitches, only 7 batters down

 

[Booker T]

Blass blasting people in the head with baseballs from the booth lol

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Outside of Skenes starts and seeing if Cruz has a 30 30 season nothing else is worth watching. This absolutely disgusting
