Cole

<t>Well, we can't just ignore that Morton and now Cole are pitching on a much better team as well.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The premise seems to be that the coaches were standing in the way of success for Cole and Morton, but that ignores the fact that both had success in Pittsburgh. Cole was a Cy You...

Pirate morale to improve because Cutch is gone

<t>Like many others posting before me, I thought this was a crappy article. McCutchen was a great player for the Pirates who demonstrated good character in the process. If a no-name blogger is going to take him on, it needs to be done with evidence.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> With that said, I think the...

At the TDL, confidence in Watson had been lost and they were just trying to get whatever they could for him. Losing him from the BP was almost addition by subtraction.

<t>It's hard for me to conclude that Huntington hasn't done a good job. Unfortunately, being the GM of the Pirates is one of the most difficult jobs in baseball.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The Pirates were one of the best teams in baseball from 2013-2015. Things went well as they must when you are spend...
