Wehner is correct....the Pirates could have won every single one of these games, and have lost all of them from a lack of execution in critical spots.



I've said the same thing, except with a bit less decorum

One thing though, we have a long ways to go to fix this pitching staff. We need some guys to make a leap, like Contreras and Yajure, and stay healthy and pitch well.

Perhaps, and dream with me here, with a roster of mostly youngsters earning the minimum, that allows BC to acquire pitching in the free agent market. Actually, I can’t believe I wrote that.

The Pirates have lost 5 straight in Chicago, two of them on dropped balls, today possibly on a dropped throw to first.

Wick is pitching the 4th day in the last 6......I thought that shit wasn't allowed

It can happen, and we know it will be 1-2 year deals. But they can't go bottom of the barrel. They have to go after a guy or two with some chops

How is that possible? He shouldn’t even be playing today because of his good game yesterday.
