OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Dull days of July

[WickedWrister]

Lower the Jolly Roger?

Indy getting 19 hits while the big club gets 0 on the same night is some beautiful irony

 

[Coastal Kev]

first cubs no hitter at wrigley since 1972

This is fine

Well at least our strong organizational pitching kept us in the game up until the very end. Sign Cherrington to an extension with a raise. .... it's what Pittsburgh does

 

[WickedWrister]

Oh, Rowdy pitched again?

Lower that SO FAST...

Raise the Union Jack, we're back under orders of The Crown. Disgusting.

Shelton is such a fraud.

 

[Coastal Kev]

The pitching of Tellez is a much bigger deal than it's being made out to be. It's speaks so poorly on Shelton, Cherington and the entire baseball operations. It says they're ok with losing, they're ok with getting steamrolled, they're ok with out putting up a fight. I understand you get caught every once in while shorthanded in a lopsided loss, don't like it, but I understand.
THREE times in 11 days??? How can anyone associated with Pirate operations be taken seriously?

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I missed the game because I was flying, so I did my best impression of the team.

What's worse is he has pitched decent and better than most of the regular relievers in those games.

Lol just saw the Pirates were no hit and Rowdy pitched again.

How can this management not be embarrassed?

Why would they be embarrassed they win the series

You would have crash and burned, if that was the case

Good thing you weren't like the pirates

 

[TooManyHumans]

Dude, you're going to clap back at a question with the crap you have been trotting out there? There is a better way to manage than that, you loser.

They have no shame, that's how. They care not a whit for the results so long as they stick to their all important process.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Great use of "not a whit."

 

[td_ice]

John Perrotto threw out Terry Francona as a possible Shelton replacement when asked.

Feels he would be interested in the job, if the Pirates would call.

FWIW.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Didn't he retire because of health reasons?

 

[TooManyHumans]

I am in favor of anyone who is actually competitive and wants to win. Shelton is not that person.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm pretty sure that Cherington fired Francona from the Red Sox as one of his first moves as their GM

He's exactly the kind of veteran manager I'd want to see this team add, but I'm pretty skeptical he'd take it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Also I didn't see it mentioned, but the Pirates claimed Joey Wentz off of waivers from the Tigers. Wentz was a good prospect for the Tigers back in the day and actually has some pretty solid underlying numbers this year (4.01 xERA, 50th-60th percentile in average exit velocity, hard hit% and K%). Definitely an intriguing guy to see if they can turn into a halfway decent reliever or depth starter.

Sounds like German is the corresponding move. 7.84 ERA in 20 IP

[Goalie_Bob]

I know they have scored 9 runs tonight but they are just so anemic.

Single
Single
Single
Single
Passed Ball
Walk
Walk

That is how they scored the 9 runs.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Consistent mediocrity should still be useful vs the Nats

 

[WickedWrister]

Skenes interview, definitely more light hearted than most interviews I've seen with him. Talks about how he was actually really tired during that no hitter vs the Brewers and being a narc in the Airforce

 

[metalan2]

Cancelled game for non existent rain lol.
