Yorke is joining the Pirates, and Williams has finally been sent to AAA. Took them long enough!

Since they acquired Cook at the deadline I have continued to follow how he and Yorke have been performing. Yesterday Cook really had a game which was really impressive. The throw from right field and scoring from first on the single from IKA was eye opening. I think during his first week he has two ...

Bringing Cutch back for 2025 is going to be a tough call in my opinion. Prior to his latest injury he was hitting rather well. Sometimes when one projects the makeup of the 2025 roster where does Cutch fit. Possibly if Davis begins to hit MLB pitching he could DH on days. I keep hearing that there ...

Since last Sundays game Cook has struggled at the plate. He is not the first player to struggle whenever he joined the Majors. I sure hope he gets a few hits before the season ends in two weeks.

No Cook after playing an excellent first game in the Majors. I was hoping to watch him tonight on the Pirates television network. Please let’s make a manager change 3 weeks from today.

I sure hope they continue to let Cook play the remainder of the games this season. I am probably wrong, but he sure seems like a player who will grind it out. It is only one MLB game, but an exceptional catch, a clutch double to drive in 2 runs, and a second base hit. Very good beginning.

The game was postponed due to rain. It will be a split DHer tomorrow. 1:35 and 6:40. That gives Shelton one more day to learn how to be a manager. It won’t help. He’ll still have Alika Williams in the line-up. No other major league manager would ever put him on the field, but that’s beside the poin...

I cannot believe that Gonzales is not in tonight’s starting lineup. In my opinion he has been clutch this season. With two outs in the second inning last night he extended the rally with a two run single. Sometimes I cannot understand the reasoning regarding the starting lineup.

Kid is having season of his life and the Pirates refuse to bring him up. That is a problem. He might turn into Triolo next season so why not just ride this wave for a few weeks ? He only had three doubles last night, and the Major League Team was no hit. No reason to rush Yorke to the Majors. What ...

End of May 2025 I heard on The Fan this morning a partial conversation with one of the Bucs Beat writers, and indicated he thinks Shelton will be back which really surprised me. He did say he will be on a short leash so the end of May 2025 could be correct. The writer did say he expects Haines will...
