2025 Pittsburgh Pirates

The Toothpick Company has put up 4 runs against the Mets so far. This is like a week’s worth of offense in one game.

 

Bucs get a shut out against a big money team that failed. Used 5 pitchers but got it done.

If Reynolds would wake up and Nutbag would have got us just one more good bat we'd be a .500 team with the staff we have.

 

Here is a shocker, Pirates are one of the most profitable MLB teams.

 

Valdez put on 60 day IL, Rodriguez sent on rehab assignment to Indy. That puts them thin at 1B, so I predict we will get to see Spencer Horwitz very soon. He should be about healed.

 

Ahem. You're late to the party SM (see page 12). But the bizarre factoid does deserve repeating. Must be all those overpriced IC Lites they sell.

 

Where's Dr Strange-glove when we need him? He bailed out Roy Face in the bottom of the 9th on countless occasions.

 

Helman may make good mayonnaise but has not made good offense. He can play several positions but was hitting .182 with no power. They already have that, several times over. Another headscratchable move.

 

And now I remember reading it, then copying and pasting on a Pirate message board.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

 

Funny you should say that, just posted this on the Movies Watched thread............

 

I will not travel to Philly to see this sh!t show.

OK, so maybe my friends have tickets for me for Skenes on Sunday.

 

I'll say till I'm (Dodger) blue in the face...................

 

Tough decision for me. Any other Sunday I'd lean heavily on going but the 4 Majors of the PGA Tour I watch heavily and Sunday is final round of the second Major of 2025. If someone is ahead by 6-7 strokes come Saturday night my decision gets tough again.

 

Looks like Nick Solak and Spencer Horwitz will be with the team in Philadelphia tonight. Can’t be worse than what we have been getting.
I think they DFAed Helman. They just got him. I don’t know if he was ever even fitted for a cap.
