The Dodgers after winning 136 games and entering the NLDS as high favorites to win the World Series:
The 84-win Pittsburgh Pirates and the power of friendship:
I know we’re thinking about Skenes and what’s gonna happen in his future…
But I can’t help but think about Reynolds. Easily the most consistent and one of the better players over the last few years, and even signed an extension. He’s gotten absolutely nothing for it. Poor guy.
Imagine slashing .284/.337/.580/.917 with 5 HR and an OPS+ of 145 in the month of July but being called a “liability” to the team.
Because that’s exactly what’s happening to Oneil Cruz tonight.
The Pirates bullpen for 2024…
*ERA from 2023 season

Ryan Borucki, 2.45 ERA
Alrodis Chapman, 3.09 ERA
Colin Holderman, 3.86 ERA

Dauri Moreta, 3.72 ERA
Good afternoon,
Since the beginning of the 2021 season, Ke’Bryan Hayes leads all of Major League Baseball with a 29 DRS
That’s 15 more than the “better” player, Nolan Arenado
Petco Park > PNC Park
We don’t have standing water issues in America’s No. 1 ballpark. Most importantly, we actually have fans in the stands to make it an electric environment.
Paul Skenes hasn’t even been a Pirate for a full day and people already saying “He’ll be traded in 3 years.”
From Pirates fans no less.
Such weird behavior. I’ll never understand it.

There’s not a single mlb team out there that has 3 starters better than me. Let alone 5. And I’m as cheap or cheaper than any of them since I’m willing to play for the minimum. And even though I have the support of players, coaches, fans, managers, and gms league wide, every time
How long will it take White Sox fans to realize that we aren’t upset at the slide? The slide was clearly awkward, but rather we’re upset at their catcher chirping someone who’s legit in pain.
Insane.
