Re: Official Game Thread - 6/2 - Bucs @ Jays

I saw that coming!
Stupid decision by Shelton to bring in Stratton.
Stratton is similar to Priester and Vogelbach had hit Priester hard.
Why didn’t he bring in the lefty Hernandez to face Vogelbach?
Hernandez is still on the roster right?

Time to act!

The Bucs are 8 games out in the Central and a couple games out of the last wild card spot. With a third of the season complete I believe it’s time to make moves if the Pirates are serious about playing meaningful baseball in September. With Skenes, Keller, Jones, and Falter the Pirates have arguably...

What would it take to get Miller from the A’s

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 w...

Re: Official Game Thread - 5/10 - Bucs vs Cubs

If we hadn’t called up Gonzales we would have been shut out once again. When will this team slump end?

Re: Official Game Thread - 5/8 - Bucs vs Angels

Enough is enough
At a minimum Gonzales and Lamb need to be called up before the weekend. Triolo and Tellez are not cutting it.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Skenes will make his debut this weekend, but we are talking about Nutting and the Pirates

Re: Official Game Thread - 5/3 - Bucs vs Rockies

Bucs go in order in the 7th, including Oneil Cruz. I’ll ask the question again: as of today, would you rather have him or De La Cruz of the Reds for the next six years? While they’re destined to be compared over the years, De La Cruz plays as hard as any player I’ve ever seen and, according to an a...

Re: Official Game Thread - 5/1 - Bucs @ A's

As stated in another thread stated by Carolina Bucco (“2 things” which I increased to 4 things) there must be changes made before this homestand. Besides Skenes which is obvious, you have 4 guys currently tearing the cover off the ball at Indy. Bae and Lamb are hitting .391. Gonzales and Grandal are...

Re: 2 Things Today

Cruz needs to go down to Indy
His defense absolutely sucks
I don’t care how strong his arm is. As a shortstop you can’t hold onto the ball and then fire over to first. That is just plain showboating and he has done that multiple times causing a wild throw and more importantly another unearned run

Re: 2 Things Today

Make that 4 things today. In addition to Skenes and Gonzales, they need to call up both Bae and Lamb who are both hitting .391 Bae can inject much needed speed. Lamb would have to be dead to not out produce Tellez. Send Davis, Suwinski, Triolo, and even Cruz to Indy Changes need to be made before th...

Re: SKENES

Skenes pitching line tonight. 6 innings,4 hits, 0 runs, 7ks and 1 walk. He threw 75 pitches. I am still expecting his next start in Pittsburgh. I hope you are right. The Bucs need a jump start and Skenes is just the guy to provide that. If he does make his debut it would be on Sunday against the Ro...
