Unluckiest loss of the season. Bae losing a fly ball that ties the score. Springer's catch. Of course, no one being able to hit the ball didn't help either. Pirates lost this game they had won on at least two, maybe three occasions. Hope they bounce back. Need to hit the ball today behind Keller. I...

A Piratey inning. Holderman hits a batter and gives up a long fly ball that Bae loses. 1-1. Too bad Falter wasn't pitching.

Looks like one of those decisions made prior to the game. Gotta follow the formula. So now they can only hope the relievers do as well as Falter was doing and if the relievers are really needed tomorrow, they might not be available.

Rumors that the A’s may consider trading their lights out closer for a bundle of prospects. Miller is the best closer in baseball, a local kid with years of control. I think it makes sense for the Pirates to see what it may take. If the A’s would consider a Peguero, Priestly, and maybe a Kennedy I ...

Greg Brown likes to use the word "aforementioned" but never pronounces it correctly.

It's "a-FORE-mentioned."

He always says "AFF-fer-mentioned."

He's finding new ways to annoy me.

8-0. Well, we might only have 3 hits but at least we have 3 errors. Golly, the Cherington rebuild is going along splendidly.

I'm excited about 27th man Daulton Jefferies. With SF this year, he pitched 4.2 innings giving up 9 ERs (13 total runs) and 2 HRs for a nifty ERA 17.36 and WHIP of 3.429. He was DFA'd and Cherington traded a minor leaguer for him. At Indy, Jefferies cut that ERA almost in half, lowering it to 9.00. ...

Javy, I couldn't agree more. I keep thinking what this organization needs is a few old-time baseball men helping develop prospects at each minor league level and at least 1 old coach with the MLB team. Guys who will blow their stack at the some of the stupidity they witness and explain how to do it ...

Not Pirates related directly, but long-time, absolutely horrible ML umpire Angel Hernandez "retired" yesterday. Worst umpire I EVER saw, and that includes Joe West. Good riddance WOO-HOO! Strange to do it in May instead of after the season. I find it interesting that around the same time ...

https://x.com/CodifyBaseball/status/1795155946261373246 Watching the Cubs dugout laugh at the Pirates as if the Bucs were all the dorky kids in gym class kickball was maybe the most embarrassing time for even us fans. That was such a uniquely bizarre play that it would never occur to a manager or c...
