Thompson 6 innings 1 hit no runs.
I thought they were tanking, how could they have possibly won? I also thought there were two separate threads about the management and announcers. Maybe I wandered into one of them, thought this was the GDT where people talked about the game.
So much for scintillating baseball talk.
The players aren't trying to lose, it's that the management isn't trying to win. Thus the roster.
Yes, I know, you and many others, before one pitch is even thrown, make the same comments every single GDT.
That's the management thread I thought. The GDT is supposed to be about what's going on the field, not behind the scenes.
And just because a lot of you keep saying it, doesn't make it true either. They currently have a better record than nine teams, and are essentially the same as two others. That's in all of MLB.
That could change in two weeks, and they could be on the bottom of the whole shebang.
But as it stands right now, as the STANDINGS say RIGHT NOW, where do you guys get off on the "tanking" business? They're not even lottery pick level right now.
The Pirates can't control how the other teams construct their rosters and are currently performing. The Pirates can only control their own roster. Few, if any, can argue that this roster is built to win. One win in the middle of May, against a team playing worse than them, will hardly change a single mind.
As for comments made in the GDT about this and other topics, if someone posts something outside of game action that deserves a response or prompts further discourse, then so be it. At least two moderators were part of the discussion. It appears it was okay with them.
