OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: New season of plundering begins

[WickedWrister]

f*** it let Holderman go back out there

No Bednar tonight I guess

 

[BusinessGoose]

Well fuuuuck

It's not over yet

 

[Empoleon8771]

Damn I can't even be mad at Holderman there. The Reynolds error caused that run but I think Holderman ran out of gas.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

And they blew it.

 

[WickedWrister]

f***

 

[metalan2]

Worst fundamental team in the league. They got a miracle last night to overcome it, not tonight.

 

[td_ice]

Yeah, that Reynolds error was huge.

And seems like Chapman has two modes, dominating, or has Steve Blass disease.

 

[metalan2]

Then again, the Pirates are allowed to score in more than one inning each game.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Holderman deserved better.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Then again, the Pirates are allowed to score in more than one inning each game.

They'll have to in order to win

 

[metalan2]

They'll have to in order to win

Lol they're not winning tonight.

Holderman deserved better.

I mean, he did give up two straight hits.

 

[sovietsanta87]

This game is on Chapman.

 

[Pens1566]

This team f***ing stinks.

 

[td_ice]

Another bullpen fail.

 

[ChaosAgent]

This one really stings. The offense was a total letdown in getting zeroed for the last 5 innings.

 

[BusinessGoose]

We're not gonna win

This was 100% thrown away by whatever moron called for chapman to pitch

 

[ChaosAgent]

Also when you have your "against lefty" lineup in, once the righties start coming in please swap out the platoon guys like Olivares and Taylor. Bae and Suwinski should have been in this game much earlier.

 

[TNT87]

Way to blow this game guys.

 

[metalan2]

It's the same story almost every game. The Piates get a few runs, in one inning, and that's it. The only question is if the pirate pitching can make those runs work. Tonight it didn't.

Giants were determined to win. Pirates have that losing DNA.

 

[sovietsanta87]

Correction. This game is on Chapman and BC for not dumping tellez and bringing up an additional arm.

 

[MrBrightside]

I guess in one sense the two games even out in that they probably should be 1-1 in them even if the results were flipped from what should have occurred, but man, being up 5-0 with Jones going is one you can't lose.

GMBC's 2023-2024 offseason is just the gift that keeps on giving - Chapman, Tellez, Taylor, Gonzales, Grandal, Perez, Fleming - it'd be hard to do much damn worse than that.

That group as a whole has basically a 0.0 bWAR from what I can tell (think it ends up 0.1). While bad, I can easily see ways it could be even worse.

They're paying that group about $30 million for replacement level play, while the Giants are paying Snell $32 million while he's at a -0.8 bWAR right now.

 

[ChaosAgent]

The game in which Tellez is the main story and not Skenes lol

 

[WickedWrister]

Rob King doing pbp is kind of jarring



Also just saw they sent Suwinski down instead of DFA'ing Rowdy...lol

CUTCH!!!

 

[Pens1566]

Nice to see the Ump show starting early today.

Horse-shit check swing call on Cruz.
