Re: Off Season Roster Discussion
Based on the starting rotation, which looks to be historically putrid, this is a 60-102 kind of team. And the offense and defense aren't going to be good enough (both are below average, at best) to make up for terrible starting pitching. As I say basically every year ... I cannot believe the Pirates...

Re: Winter Meetings
All of the talk / hopes / dreams of the Pirates going to Winter Meetings and actually signing or trading for REAL, LIVE, LEGITIMATE MLB STARTING PITCHING, which this team so desperately needs, was just comical. While teams like the Reds are actually spending money and at least TRYING to win, that's ...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion
I think the team is actually in position to be legitimately competitive in 2024 ... in every aspect except the one glaring area ... STARTING PITCHING. This team is nowhere near being competitive in terms of SP, and until the front office addresses that like a real major league team THAT WANTS TO WIN...

Re: Official Game Thread - 9/20 - Bucs @ Cubbies
Two things that are incredible to me ... * Since July 19, the Pirates are 30-27. They've done this with 2 starting pitchers. * The Pirates have not lost 3 games in a row since July 15-19. When you look at this team, and when you look at this starting rotation, those numbers are very difficult to exp...

2 things ...
Couple of thoughts ... The Pirates lost 11 of 12 in early May, and then lost 12 of 13 in June. During those 2 stretches they were a combined 2-23. So for the rest of the season, they are 63-52 (.548). That's hard to believe. But I do know this ... if, instead of completing crashing and burning and l...

Re: Official Game Thread - 8/30 - Bucs @ Royals
This doesn't really make any sense, but the Pirates are 20-19 going back to July 18.
They came out of the All-Star break 0-5, but since then they've somehow played winning baseball ... despite having only 2 starting pitchers, not hitting and not play sound fundamental baseball.
I can't explain it.

Re: Official Game Thread - 8/21 - Bucs vs Cards
Tonight was fun. But taking a quick peak ahead, tomorrow night has potential for more major embarrassment. So Keuchel's ERA was something like 9.42 over the last two seasons or something ridiculous like that ... and he flirted with a perfecto. Tomorrow night we get Wainwright. Wainwright is 0-7 with...
