Reynolds heading to sub .200 average to join Canario and Pham.

One positive, Hayes has been hitting well as of late.

Much like a real blackhole.... Of a moth to flame...... the Pirates can never escape the alluring draw of the Mendoza Line

I was work pants shopping at a dept store twenty so years ago and the salesman made reference to the Mendoza line so I asked him if he knew what it referred to and he didn't.

i can’t be nothing but sad about reynolds who was a sole bright spot for long stretches

19 straight games scoring 4 runs or less. It has not happened in over 100 years.

Pirates have had 8 quality starts in the past 10 games. They are 2-8 in those games.

MLB teams get on average 30-40% quality starts in that stretch and win 70-80% of quality starts.

Its beyond obscene this general manager was allowed to assemble the worst hitting team in history, while simultaneously having a very solid pitching team.

What can you be thinking if you can be considered the worst general manager in history?

Buccos have scored 5+ runs 6 times out of 43 games. One double digit game. Dead last in runs scored.

Sports teams are supposed to distract you from the failures in life

This is just looking in a mirror for me

Lol

 

[BusinessGoose]

Raise it!!

Still not scored more than 4 runs in WEEKS

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Looks like the Pirates just said "trash them" when it came to the Bucco bricks.

 

[BusinessGoose]

What do you mean @GilbertSeinfeld ? They scrapped the replacement idea already, too?

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

According to the report the team was given the option to put the bricks back in their original place, contact the fans who bought a brick for the opportunity to have the original brick sent to them, or just get rid of them, so the team chose option C.

 

[Factorial]

I haven't been to PNC Park so no idea what this structure looked like, but do bricks only last 25 years now.

You know, like bricks used to build houses.

IMO Solak and Horwitz should be up now. Probably don't DL Reynolds, but give him the weekend off. Would probably drop Holderman and Bae.

As much crap as I give him, Davis looked much better in the box against the Mets
