Not sure how good Skenes will turn out but I feel bad for him and Jones. They are going to have zero run support.

I'm as guilty as anyone for taking some of my frustrations out on the players, but I shouldn't. They're just not very good major league players. What we're getting from them is about what they're capable of doing. Occasionally, someone will do something out of the ordinary, like get an extra base h...

Winner winner!

Little memory quiz. Not a random fact, sorry. There were two sets of two players with the same first and last names for the Pirates.

Ed Moyer, who died on November 18th, 1962.

No way!! That is an amazing factoid.

Not sure if this is true. Golfing with a guy today in his late 70's. He saw my Pirate gear and told me an interesting story. No idea if it's true or not.
