I too was at the game last night. Another gut punch loss. I agree Bae, Triolo and Joe are doing nothing to help this team right now. In my opinion they sure miss Nick G. who has delivered in a few clutch situations this season. I still have a glimmer of hope for a possible post season this year, but...

Hayes offense this season as been well below how he has performed in the past. Possibly his back is the problem as to why he has struggled this year. As soon as the Pirates acquired IKF last week I wondered if the Pirates are considering moving Hayes this offseason. Hayes has several more years unde...

Two of the lesser trades the Pirates made last week were for Nick Yorke, and Billy Cook. It has only been a handful at bats for both players at AAA, but both have been very successful. I know there is a big difference between the MLB and the Minors, but the Pirates should bring both players up, and ...

IKF injured his knee and has been sidelined since June 30. When the trade was made he was on a rehab in the Toronto system. The Pirates transferred him to Altoona to complete his rehab. As soon as he's ready, he'll be activated. I suspect Williams will be optioned at that time. https://x.com/KevinG...

I would like it if the Pirates recalled IKF, and purchased the contract of Nick Yorke. They could send down Williams and Triolo and rest Hayes for a couple days so both new players could be included in the starting lineup. I think both these players would be a boost to the lineup.

His bat will play for sure, next year will be breakout season . He will have a few good years. Just try him at 1st next season and let him pout. If we thought Josh Bell was bad throwing the ball from first base to second, I think Cruz would make Bell look like a gold glove first baseman. I really t...

This past week we have seen Cruz struggling at the plate as well as in the field. Especially last night was a bad night for him. I know he has 15 or 16 homers and 50 some rbi, but if you were the GM and this offseason a team approached you with a package of players for Cruz would you make the deal?...

I like the move. Yorke could be in the mix next season with McAdoo. BC turning his attention to bats, let see what happens. I hope the Pirates give Yorke some playing time this season, but with IKF being acquired it could be difficult. Yorke appears to be the type of player who walks, and gets his ...

Move Cruz to 1B or the OF. Better yet, he needs to grow up and realize that he is not an all-world player. Use his batting skills and arm strength to make the Bucs a better team going forward. You are correct “ he is not all world “ his baseball IQ is lacking. If he and Reynolds would have collided...
