Unfortunately, it will probably take the Pirates 2 or 3 games to amass 3 runs.

Your optimism is inspiring.

What were you thinking, Doc? 4 or 5 games?

It's a weak lineup, but there isn't much they could do to make a better one. Endy had hit first hit last night, a hard hit double. So naturally, he must go to the bench instead of building on that good AB. That how imbecile Shelton manages. But other than Endy (.083) or Cutch (.182), there's not muc...

Aaron Judge in 3 games:
4 home runs, 2 doubles, 11 runs batted in

Atlanta Braves in 5 games:
4 home runs, 2 doubles, 8 runs batted in

Pirates in 5 games:
1 HR, 5 doubles, 14 RBIs

is Matt Hague as hitting coach making a difference yet? Starting to think the Pirate hitting problems were not all Haines fault. I said it all spring, they are doing the exact same thing, taking tons of pitches especially meatballs trying to drive up pitch counts. They go to bat with 2 strikes on t...

Maybe Shelton will get fired after the Yankees sweep them.

The Pirates are acquiring Alexander Canairo from the Mets for cash. GMBC spends some of BN's cash. Will he be held accountable by BN? He can’t be a worse choice than Tommy Pham, can he? Canairo doesn't have any options so he'll be added to the major league roster. That's probably bad news for Bae.

Gotta love the Cherington/Shelton approach to improving the team. Last year, Bednar performed very poorly as the closer. This year, the plan is to hope that Bednar doesn't perform very poorly as the closer. Cockeyed optimism! That's the ticket!

"We were in all 4 games" Derek Shelton Dare to dream man, dare to dream Did he actually say that????? Unbelievable. Derek we competed against a team that lost 100 games and has no direction and no name recognition. Sure am glad we can hang with the bottom feeders. What an idiotic statemen...

I don’t understand. I thought Cherington had the perfect strategy of hoping all his players got better. How could that fail?
