OT: Pirates Talk: Lets Play Ball

[Factorial]

Bart to the 7 day disabled list. Endy recalled from his rehab assignment.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Casually checks in on the game...

Hell yeah! Let's finish it for Skenes for once

 

[Empoleon8771]

Davis is starting to hit really well, nice to see. He's also apparently become Skenes' primary catcher and has pretty good defensive metrics.

Cautiously optimistic with him.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Davis just needs to be OK, and not terrible

The last two games are what it's like if these guys can go better than .180 at the plate

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

They scored 10 runs for Skenes today, so that's probably the combined amount of runs they'll score for Skenes for the rest of the season.

 

[ChaosAgent]

I'm a big Davis hater historically but I could see him looking much better at the plate in the last couple weeks. I also LOVE that he went to right center on that double yesterday. He really has gotten better defensively too. With Bart's bat unplayable at the moment, I am excited to see Henry get like 10 starts in the next 2 weeks

keith law updated top 50 prospect list has chandler at 7 as the only pirates representative

Griffin should be there.

Aside from that, yeah. Our system isn't terrible, but average. If Barco's arm weren't on the verge of exploding, then he would give the top end some additional sizzle.

He had Yorke dropping out (he was 50 iirc) because of a poor swing change

 

[Coastal Kev]

He had Yorke dropping out (he was 50 iirc) because of a poor swing change

Why would he do a swing change?

 

[BusinessGoose]

Why would he do a swing change?

So he wouldn't get called up and have to play for the Pirates

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Why would he do a swing change?

No idea why or even if he did. Law seems to believe so though.

[BusinessGoose]

I would say, usually the truth is somewhere in the middle, except, I'm certain the truth is not on DK's side

 

[Booker T]

5 strikeouts in a row, amazing start Buccos…

Cutch had a hit

 

[Factorial]

Those Padres uniforms are horrible. Looks like a Nagel.

 

[Factorial]

I'm watching the Padres feed. Their announcers suck.

 

[metalan2]

Ball at Davis shoes, strike 3. Totally obscene.

Wasn't even close... loser ump should lose his job permanently

 

[BusinessGoose]

I hate pinning a loss on an ump, cause they had plenty of game to win it, but wow.. ABS can't arrive soon enough. Gross change of momentum.

 

[Factorial]

Ball/strike challenges should be tried first.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Ball/strike challenges should be tried first.

I mean, that's pretty much how i want ABS

Umps still call, but, can be overturned on review

I don't really want a full robo ump game

 

[wheelz87]

absolutely atrocious call on Davis. going to robo ump can eliminate this but alas. always have that lingering feeling that the bucs never get those calls because we are small market.
