OnlyBucs

the plan must be to suck and suck badly to set up the Yankees. Yep, that makes sense, get the Yankees over confident and then crush them at PNC Park!

The Bucs are just playing at another level. No MLB team can be this bad without doing it on purpose.

anyone else rooting for a rainout?

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 mu...

is Matt Hague as hitting coach making a difference yet?

Starting to think the Pirate hitting problems were not all Haines fault.

The last place Brewers. Has a nice ring to it.

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.

Holderman was great for about the first half last year. Now he is as unreliable as Bednar. Can't carry two guys like that at the end of the bullpen for long and not lose a lot of games.

I feel bad for Skenes. He's made some optimistic comments about the team wanting to win this year but he sees what we see. He sees bad managing, bad coaching, bad fundamentals, bad defense, bad hitting. He's gotta be counting the days until he can get out and go to a real team. A guy with otherworl...

It is only the first game of 2025, but with the lapses which Cruz has had during his young career do you think the Pirates should entertain a trade for him. Possibly he could fetch a return of an outfielder, shortstop and a pitcher. Maybe a team like Boston would be a good match. personally I think...
