I heard a comment over the weekend that Nutting is deliberately holding back team payroll because his intention is to move the team by 2030 to Charlotte NC. This could be a possibility regarding the future of the Pirates. It shouldn't surprise anyone that he's at least looked into the possibility o...

We have a chance to win it in the ninth and at least tie it in the 10th. What happens…. Cutch swings at the first pitch he sees and hounds into an inning ending DP in the 9th…..Cruz swings at the first pitch with runners on 1st and 2nd no outs and hits into a DP killing the 10th inning rally This t...

Austin Wynns with six hits in that game and Noelvi Marte has five. They’re batting at the bottom of the order.

Oh, well, nice comeback try by the Pirates. I’ll take that rather than they just rolling over. I know it’s still a loss but, for a little bit of time, there was excitement and hope. My standards are fairly low at this point so I’m trying to find joy where I can.

Come on, boys, make me eat my words. Now 4-3, no outs, runner at second.

I've always thought the idea was to rest throughout the season to keep them fresh for the playoffs. All those trips from the sofa to the fridge and back while watching the postseason can be wearisome if not properly rested. But the analytics department is all over that! You have the Pirates confuse...

Only 5 today? Woo-hoo! Things are looking better!

Not so fast! Hayes with a single climbs to .200 exactly. I feel much better.

Five guys in today’s starting line-up are hitting below .200 on the season.

I suppose it was to much to ask Shelton to have your 2 hottest hitters this week (Cruz and Valdez) to be in the “Sunday Lineup” It’s important to think of the rigors of a long season, JR. These 20-somethings will need their strength when faced with trying to stave off the worst record in baseball c...
