Getting no hit twice in the same week would be historic.

Can anyone please explain the rationale of Michael A (is for a......__) Taylor still taking at bats for this team???
Confused in SC

Connor Joe is just the absolute biggest piece of shit baseball player there is.

Automatic out with bases loaded, f***s up a play he should have made.

Difficult play, and you know for a fact he wasn't making it.

Pirates close out a game challenge.

Interesting seeing York playing ss the last 2 games in Indianapolis

Imagine any other team keeping Derek Shelton for 5 f***ing years.

Billy Cook with a grand slam today too. I swear they're the more entertaining team when I watch their games

That was a play that opposing teams make. Honestly not a bard catch for an MLB right fielder.

Cook is coming up today apparently, so that should be interesting to see how he does.

It's also nice to see that Cruz has seemingly transitioned perfectly to CF, it really seems like they have their CF position figured out with Cruz. He's already at a +1 OAA in CF and his success rate added (4%) is very comparable to Jose Siri (5%), who's probably the best defensive CFer in baseball right now. It obviously remains to be seen if his numbers can continue, but I think it's pretty clear that he can absolutely play CF going forward. I don't care if he's a great defensive CFer, I just want a perfectly solid one and it seems like Cruz can be that.

Cook with a great defensive play in top 1, 2 run double in the bottom.

Nice debut for us

 

[Empoleon8771]

Really interesting that they're using Cook at 1B, but with Cruz seemingly locking down the CF spot, I guess they don't need to worry about the OF as much. Cook is much more of a platoon guy, he's going to struggle mightily against righties in the majors, but the dude can absolutely smoke it against lefties. Should be a very logical replacement for Joe for next year, saves them $3 million or so while Cook can play more positions.

In terms of good news, Endy is starting his rehab assignment in Altoona and is even playing a bit of catcher. I’m not sure if he gets into any MLB games this year, but it’s at least good to see he’ll get a bit in the minors.

He’s going to spend most of his time at 1B and DH but will also catch a bit apparently.

Skenes not winning ROTY because the Pirates suck is going to be a travesty.

It’s going to be because the other guy plays every day and while skenes has 20 starts

I dunno. I could see it being swayed simply for marketing. He deserves it outright, but the MLB and media loves Skenes.
