They already have space where they can do that. It is in the press room. I have been to a conference that was held there and it nice and large for meetings.

If it's a rehash of the same old BS you normally post. Forget about it. But if it is constructive criticism then go ahead. I believe you are mature enough to know the difference.

If you say so. You have choices to make and you obviously think your snarkiness is ok. But a lot of others are tired of it. You can move on if you like.

I'm intrigued to see how the fanbase reacts to the product this year. Many on this board will remember the buzz around a "walk-out" that occurred during a nationals game in the past. Borne from disgust with ownership that appeared to not even be trying put a competitive team on the field. Well if some fans walked out of that game after the 3rd inning and spent that fan energy in creating a baby with your partner.... That baby is now a teenager. The walk-out was in 2007. We had our lightning in a bottle 3 year period, thanks to Cutch and the gang. But as fans, we are back where we started from in a no man's land. No hope for winning now, and no clear blueprint evident for the future year.
Eternal Optimism springing and ringing out in a very unique post-winter thaw. In a year where we aren't just digging out from a tough winter, but on the precipice of getting back to sports being played normally, with standard attendance.
The Pirates' new brass has done what they had to do in order to save the ownership some $ in tough times and to adhere to the small ball rebuild model.... stripped down to the bare minimum
They have no stars
They have little chance of competing this year
They barely have a shot at avoiding embarrassment
but does this team have some intangibles that will help fans look past the corrupt ownership and tune in to watch and listen to games? Can they activate any sector of the core die-hard fans in these unprecedented times?
Can you imagine a swell of hustlers, overachievers, that captivate the minds of disgruntled older fans and younger impressionable fans alike? Can there be something like the 1997 Freak show brewing? The Freak show was a team that surprised us, after starting to come to terms with the fact that Bonds, Bonilla, Drabek, Van Slyke were not walking through those mid 90's era Bucs clubhouse doors. We saw season win totals of 75, 53, 58. In 97 that mix of young talent and ballers gave us a ride and gave us a tiny oasis of hope in an otherwise desolate few decades as Pirate fans.
I haven't even really allowed myself to look at this year's team. Outside noise has also drowned out the attention I would normally give to investing deep into hope of the improbable.
But 2021 seems like a good why-not year. So do you see a potential for a group of players being assembled here, that may not be destined for a pennant, but can win us over with their style of play, cohesiveness, and passion? Can we see some winds of change blow through the franchise from the clubhouse up that starts something big?
Just give us a team to fall into LIKE with, in 2021 Pittsburgh, maybe it will grow into Love.
what parts of this 2021 bucco team do you think you can start to like in 2021 that might grow into love?
I think I’m going to have fun with this team. Most of these guys are young and getting a shot, they will be playing their rear ends off. I’d rather watch this team than last years’ knowing that anybody that had value would soon be traded.
Plus, I’m beginning to think this team might win more than we expect. Which will be both fun but also a total waste of a potential #1 draft pick in 2022.
Nostradamus!

Start increasing attendance protocols period. They can have the stadium at half capacity or just slightly less starting in mid May or so and be just fine doing so. The Rangers have been at almost full capacity in there stadium all month so far and there is no cases of Corona spreading there at all. The bottom line is if this team is winning you will see attendance increase and more people will go.
