2025 Pittsburgh Pirates

Skenes still hasn’t got pitch count down. Similar to last season, every start he is near 100 pitches in the 5 inning. He won’t have too long of longevity pitching like that

 

Let me introduce Bob Gibson to you!

 

Strike out pitchers tend to throw a lot of pitches. Skenes won't have a great W/L record with the Bucs. The money teams won't worry about his W/L record.

 

Bucs gonna suck it!

 

Looks like the Pirates aren't going to wait for April to suck. They got started early

 

Me: 77-85
born2steel: 76-86
rollers: 74-88
86ward: 72-90
Quad: 75-87
Steelpens: 82-80

We lose the desert rat after 1 game. It's early but I can see a 60-65 win season coming up.

 

I'm big on reading about evolution and past humanoids that walked this planet. I'm sure when our species ran into the Neanderthal's they made sweet love. Probably more animalistic. Bless the poor females from long ago. Anyhow, I'm convinced Oneil Cruz family line is from a Neanderthal hooking up with one of our females. I'm not sure he knows where he is at times.

 

Sure am glad Bednar is still here

 

Was this supposed to be in green

 

They definitely didn’t miss a beat having 6 months off… picked up right how they finished last yr.

 

Sure hope Keller comes through. Even if he keeps us in it I'm sure the bullpen will do everything in their power to blow it.

 

Won't really matter though, bullpen got used and abused yesterday and with an indoor field, can't even hope for a rain-out after 5 innings as it would have certainly helped yesterday. Even the 6 stolen bases yesterday and a heap of walks for the Bucs didn't help. Maybe they can work on stealing home since there's not many who seem capable of knocking them in on this team. And what's with Joey Bart? He was very decent last year at bat and behind the plate. Yesterday he left a scad of guys on base and had 2 passed balls.

 

Oh, and just like the Bucs, saw where their "power" guy, Nick Gonzales, fractured his ankle while running out his home run and is out indefinitely. Are you kidding me? Heinz Mustard says


Edit: Guess he was channeling his inner Kirk Gibson?

 

Cruz is 2 for three today with a home run. There's just no middle ground with him. He either stinks or is great.

 

Bednar absolutely sucks! Gives up triple and the game yesterday, today a 2 run homer. Luckily, we were up by 3!
Bednar’s era 27.00 after the first 2 games!

 

Unreal

 

He is our closer!!!!!!

 

Well so far our starters are OK but we best be up by 10 runs for them to be comfortable.

Falter today.

I'm in a contest where you predict when the Bucs will get below .500 and stay there rest of season. Thanks to yesterday's win we lost 2 guys (or girls?) that though we'd start 0-2 and never recover. I'm April 28th after "Mojave desert" favorite team (Dodgers) sweep us.

 

why did pirates get Tommy Pham AND I would take prates losing every game Paul Skenes pitched --if we win every game, he doesn't

 

WTG Bucs! God, what a boring team. They just have nothing offensively to be excited about.

 

well, that idea is gone ---Pirates back to their Succo ways.lost again

 

Consistency is all that matters, 4 runs each game so far.

Edit: OK forget this trend.

 

Well Miami is a better bottom feeder then us.

Be lucky to see 70 wins. When they come home Aaron Judge will have a home run fest in the Burgh.

 

If Pirate games were only 5 innings I think they'd be 4-0 right now.

 

This team is worse than last year's
