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...

Pittsburgh Sports Net is televising the Indy Game on their alternate channel, and I have watched some of their game this afternoon in which Nick Yorke is playing third base. He has made a couple nice plays, hit a homer and stretched a single and bobble into two bases. I know I have mentioned Yorke o...

It seems inevitable that Shelton will get fired after this season, since at this time it appears the Pirates record will be worse than their record last season. Two names I think they could hire as manager would be Terry Francona if he decides to come out of retirement, or current bench coach Don K...

I am really surprised that the Pirates have not placed any players, such as Chapman or Joe , on waivers today. I figured the Pirates would want to save some money by placing players on waivers who could help a team in the postseason.
