<t>Couldn't disagree more with the "cheap owner" stuff which is just so TIRED.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> What was the clubhouse culture in 2013-2015? Why did they have the 2nd best record in MLB during that period, with the same management? Why was everyone high-fiving, playing jokes on each other, and...

<t>I believe player development is the MOST important aspect of the GM's job for the Pirates BECAUSE we know payroll won't be raised that much.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I'm sick and tired of watching guys come up through our system that don't know how to run the bases; don't know which base to throw t...

<t>Some crazy stats for these some of the pitchers from these 2 teams:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Kershaw: $33.5M salary, 4.28 ERA in 145 innings of postseason pitching. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Sale & Kershaw combined to make $46M this year, and also combined to pitch 8 innings and give up 8 earned ...

<t>Wait a second. This board has been clamoring for YEARS that we should make bold moves, like trading prospects for REAL major league talent. This board had completely soured on Glasnow for good reason - he looked like a scared middle school girl every time he took the mound. This board almost univ...

<t>How about Cutch & Kuhl for Sale? Or Cutch & Glasnow?<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> No way do I trade Meadows - he is Cutch's replacement and the way to keep the "window" open since we'll have him through 2023.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Getting Sale and signing Nova are my top 2 priorities this wint...

<t>Several caveats here, but looking at 1st half vs. 2nd half splits:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> 1st half: the top 4 pitchers in innings pitched all had ERA's over 5 (Liriano, Niese, Locke, Nicasio).<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> 2nd half: the top 3 pitchers in innings pitched all had ERA's under 4 (Taillon, K...
