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

[BusinessGoose]

How many times have the Pirates had a switch hitter hit a home run from both sides of the plate in one game?

Circling back on this.. I think it was the first time in pirates history that this happened yesterday

Hayes' offense has been dreadful over this recent stretch. It's such a massive disappointment after how great he was to finish last year offensively.

They don't have anyone in the system to replace him, so I wouldn't be jumping at trading him, but I probably would be looking for avenues to trade Hayes in the next year or two if he doesn't see any notable offensive improvement.

 

[WickedWrister]

That was egregious.

 

[wheelz87]

Umping just an absolute joke and costs us. No accountability and this happens so often to the Bucs. I think it was cutch who struck out a few days ago where likewise the first 5 pitches were balls. Embarrassing. Sooner we get robo umps better off everyone is.

Bobby Bonilla and Dale Sveum hit HR's from both sides in the same game

Yeah, can't wait for robo ball and strikes calls. Agreed with everyone's comments above.

It does suck, (Suwinski AB). But yesterday I think it was in our favor. iirc Skenes got like 3-4 his way yesterday and Jefferies 1-2.

Back to the same old story

Terrible.

But still, way too many Ks in key positions.

Joe and Hayes actively hurting us at the dish.

Nice to see Cruz obliterate a baseball.

Win-lose-win-lose-win-lose-win-lose.

 

[metalan2]

Oh they scored 2 runs today. More than I would have thought after scoring 14. 2 today, 1 tomorrow. I thought 1 today and 2 tomorrow.

If Nutting weren't awful I'd say we should just trade Hayes for Ryan McMahon straight up. Let Colorado deal with Hayes bouts of offensive uselessness.

But McMahon is making more money for the forseeable so we can't absorb the incremental salary.
