2026 Pittsburgh Pirates

Just saw where Endy Rod is heading to the 10 day IL from a pulled glute on Sunday. Got rid of Joey Bart too soon. Would hate to see Henry Davis out there every day, the weakest spot in the batting order.

 

Yeah, trading Bart looks like a very bad idea. Rodriguez has battled injuries for two years and they trusted him to stay healthy.

The Pirates really don't get to have nice things. Griffin is out for most of the remainder of the regular season, and Skenes is apparently throwing slower on purpose so he doesn't blow out his arm, with results that are not great.

 

Jared Jones perfect game after 6
Pulled after 77 pitches
Unless Jones is tired or hurt
Why would you pull him?!?!
Oh thats right
Coming off major arm surgery

 

At least you didn’t blame the owner for injuries

 

Well folks
We have to rely on our BP to keep this scoreless
If I was a betting man
Not good odds

 

Yes, the Pirates have already brought up a catcher!
The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled catcher Rafael Flores Jr. from Triple-A Indianapolis. He was added to the active roster after starter Endy Rodríguez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left glute strain. [1]

 

Santana gives up with a double off the wall

 

Santana next pitch 2 run homer
Joey Bart
This BP pathetic
Santana and Soto suck
Added Soto cuz he sucks even when he doesn’t pitch

 

Where did we get this BP at?
I thought Kmart was closed?
Definitely blue light specials that come out of our BP

 

6 no hit innings
No walks
Down the drain

 

Bucs bats aren’t helping

 

Everybody has a strikeout
Some have 2

 

End of 8
2-0 bad guys
Most likely Soto in the 9
I smell insurance runs
Edit
Mattson in for the 9

 

Leadoff double

 

That is as deep as he has gone in a game this season. He hadn't gone more than five before tonight, and had only thrown over 80 pitches once.

There is no way they were going to let him go nine, so why push it?

 

Why don’t you ever say anything about the superb BP we have?

 

No, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Bart trade saved them a few bucks. I don't know how anyone could pay attention to the Pirates without being disgusted by Nutting.

 

Which I included in my quote

 

The Pirates traded Joey Bart to clear a catching logjam and to avoid losing him for nothing. Because Bart had run out of minor league options, the team could not send him back to the minors. This required the Pirates to either designate him for assignment or find a trade partner Pittsburgh Baseball Now. [1, 2, 3]

 

You mean the bullpen that sucks, in part, because they threw it together with scraps?

 

Yes
In the past disgusting
Did pretty well in off season
Except for that doo doo of a BP
3-0

 

Awful awful awful
Really not enough adjectives to describe the poo poo BP

 

Addressed the hitting
Just didn’t address the BP
This team would be well over .500 if they had a decent BP

 

Need a 9 inning rally
BP 3 runs in 3 innings

 

46 games of scoring 6 or more runs
Only 1 game over .500
