Sad but true, Doc. And we aren’t even asking them to become big spenders. Just to be closer to an average payroll than to the very bottom of the heap.

Act with some sense of urgency to strike while the iron is hot. They don't have the bats. SO GET THEM! Stop being 29th in payroll and get some hitters! Can't just wait for the poor hitters they currently have to morph into something they are incapable of being. Can't wait for prospects who are a few years away and might never pan out anyway. Can't find hitters in dumpsters. They need Cherington to start acting like a real GM. They need a real manager. But that seems to be asking too much.Doc wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2024 12:39 pmIf history is any indication, the "something" that will happen with this group of pitchers is that, in less than six years, all of them will have been traded.bucs607179 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2024 10:11 am Sure hope we can do something with this starting pitching we have. Next season could be promising with a few bats.
Joe Starkey gives the same opinion as you do in his article today, stating that GM BC must act as if the Pirates were in first place.
Regarding the opener against the Dodgers, I was hoping the Pirates would give me a win for my birthday. They did, but boy did I have to sweat it out!
