Joe has started 2 games in a row. That's pushing it. So he has to rest. Besides, in those 2 games, he had a double and 2 HRs. That's more running than most Pirates do in a week. He must be exhausted. But it's interesting that he's hit .278 vs RHPs in 72 ABs. He's, hitting .313 vs LHPs in 48 ABs. Tel...

When Jared Jones and Paul Skenes wake up this morning, they'll be smiling. For them, they're now one day closer to wearing another club's uniform. Things will never improve under this leadership. Nutting and Cherington appear to be in lockstep that they don't need to spend for better players. They ...

Greg Brown has a great HR call with “cannonball coming!” But I find it very annoying when he personalizes the call based on the player’s name. For Conner Joe, he references the Beatles “Get Back” because it says “JoJo.” So Brown says, “Look out Loretta. JoJo.” He just tries way too hard to be clever...

Good point about Cutch. I hadn’t thought about it, but it does seem that he’s somewhat detached from the trials and tribulations of the team and just playing for himself. This is probably going to be his last season and I guess he just wants to have a good time before he hangs them up. But at this p...

I guess we all hoped that his signing was more than the typical dumpster dive. But that’s what the evidence pointed to. In the past two years, he batted .219 and .215. The guy just can’t hit. But he did have 35 HRs two years ago. But he only had 13 last year. When a guy hits as poorly as Tellez, it ...

At least Gonzales got a rest after playing 2 games. But he pinch ran so that might require another day off. I'll bet when Cherington reviews the analytics of this game, the trends, the players resting, the pitch counts, the bat speed, the launch angles, etc, he's going to be very pleased. Fans get t...

In response to people talking about great pitchers on other teams, I’ve often said half-jokingly, just wait 10 years and the Pirates will get him. That was the case with Chapman. He’s certainly past his prime. But that’s the only way the Pirates get players who were once outstanding.

Bednar gives up lead off double. He looks like a batting practice pitcher this year. Might be time to get him out of high leverage situations with his 9+ ERA.

Bucs tie it and Ortiz hands Cubs 2 base runners. Nice catch by Suwinski as Suzuki bails out Ortiz by swinging on 3-0 pitch.

Sadly, as Cherington noted, Tellez is hitting the ball in line with his career figures.
