Game Day Thread Pirates vs. Cubs 5/7/2021

If the Cueto game was the climax of the Huntington era and the Archer trade was the shocking twist toward the end, the 2021 season is like a very long video montage during the end credits.

Maybe Pirate fans should chant "waivers, waivers" when various Pirates come to bat. Our guys are more likely to be waived than win MVP.

The rundown was comical.

Wow. As Casey Stengel would say, "Doesn't anyone here know how to play this game?"

Cherington's plan is working perfectly: build a roster that can lose more games than the other 29 teams in order to get that first draft pick. So far, it's working. Now, the rest of the plan better be to begin seeing progress next year with the players he's acquired, with the goal to reach the playoffs by 2023.

Another guy picked off and the Pirates bungle it and almost do it again very next pitch!!!!! Cubs outdumbed them this time.



Folks this isn't acceptable for junior high school baseball

I have seen Girl's Softball teams execute the run down better than that

Am I the only one that thought they were in the middle of showing a replay?
