Interesting that both McAdoo for the Jays and Reilly for the O's are at the top of their team's breakout lists.

Bucs now 5-0 against the Marlins I will say this for the last time. Grandal, Williams, Tellez, Taylor won't be here in 2025- why in the hell are they nplaying They showed Bednar in the Pen last night when Santana was warming up for the 8th inning- he didn't look too happy You can throw Chapman on t...

Nice pickup by GMBC in Joey "can't pitch" Wentz. 1 hit, 1 run, 1 earned run, 2 walks, 1 K, in 1/3 of an inning with 26 pitches. I hope we are not stuck with him. Nice pickup by GMBC in Dennis "over-the-hill" Santana 1 inning 4 hits, 6 runs, 6 earned runs, 2 walks, 0 K, and 1 HBP...

Pirates claim LHP Wentz off waivers - https://x.com/Pirates/status/1831048883230920912 https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wentzjo01.shtml I am interested to see what we can do with Wentz - I guess I am hoping for Santana-like results. Obviously Chapman will be gone next year and I haven't...

Seattle 2024 is Pittsburgh Pirates 2016. We won 98 games in 15, then went cheap instead of filling in the holes with the right moves in the offseason. Why? Well we like to say the owner is cheap. But it was pretty clear that year that our team is run like a business for profit - and is not run to be...

Oh my gosh, I was so irritated when he said that. It is Little League mother logic - right alongside of "It hit his glove so that's an error."

It's being reported that the Pirates have acquired lefty reliever Josh Walker from the Mets. He was recently DFA'd by New York. His ERA is north of 5.00 this year. I hope he can hit. There's no word on who the Mets will receive in return. I am not going to rate this move until I see what happens wi...

Bae needs to step up and claim an OF spot , starting tonite ! He gets on fire, Pirates looking good. +1 I am a fan of Bae as I think he brings a lot to our offense with his speed. So far his AAA numbers, which right now are extremely impressive, haven't translated to MLB success - gut you could hav...

Thanks for all the links 3pirates3. I always appreciate them, but you must have been working overtime to find all the ones you put up for us for the players we just drafted. I am going to watch the signings carefully to see if they can accumulate enough to sign the last kid, Taylor Penn. We always s...

Vern Law is 94 and lost his wife this past year. Would have loved to see him get the honor while still alive! His 1960 year was one of the greatest years by any pitcher ever - only pitcher to win the All-Star game, a WS game (2) and the Cy Young in the same year. And I know I have written it here, b...
