Wonder how many folks are seeing 2018 1.2 draft pick finally get things together and are still ready to deem the 2021 1.1 pick a bust? Development isn't linear. Catching is hard.

Pirate fans "call up X rookie or you don't wanna win"
Rookie plays like a rookie
Pirate fans "this guy sucks call up the other rookie that struck out the guys today in AAA"
Moral. Fans are stupid
I'd like to go back to November when fans insisted that if they extended Reynolds signed Cutch brought up Ortiz Davis put Oviedo in the rotation they'd be happy. Lolol never believe that anything makes fans happy. Always always will find something to whine about
Pirate fans are weird the SP walked 6 guys. 1-3 in the lineup went 0-9 and all the complaining is about catcher. Hayes has to get that run in in the 9th. Has too.
Not enough are talking about Liover Pegeuro as of late. Really crushing last 10 games but since May 1st 35 games 6 HRs. 838 OPS 125 WRC+ throw in 8 SB. Time for him to move up and have Cheng replace him in AA
Another knowledgeable bang up job by the flagship
@937theFan
this morning. Multiple calls to bring up T Swaggerty... checks notes he hasn't played any games since 4/18
Reasons the Pirates are bad this year in order.
Jack Suwinski being terrible
Henry Davis being terrible
Hayes being hurt and average
Cruz being terrible until recently
Cutch being bad
Reynolds not being better
Triolo playing too much
Taylor playing too much
Tellez being awful
So weird how all that Pirates didn't draft the best player in 21' has been real quiet lately. Almost like those same people are yelling for the same guy to be at PNC now.
If you watched Luis Ortiz pitch and think he doesn't need a ton of work to be a good MLB SP then we didn't watchbthe same player. Not ready plain and simple
We have optioned the following players to our Triple-A Roster:
RHP Luis Ortiz
RHP Yohan Ramirez
We have also re-assigned the following players to Minor League Camp:
INF Andres Alvarez
C Carter Bins
RHP Cody Bolton
RHP Carmen Mlodzinski
OF Chavez Young
LHP Daniel Zamora
@BMcCarthy32
He's not gonna go much over 150 ip for the season and his innings will be much more important in Sept/Oct if the team is contending. Pointless to being him up to throw RP workload in the majors. He'll be up in May to work 5-6 innings per
Not exactly sure what people think SP depth is in this league but there's a ton of it here. Add Brubaker into this mix too. Low on
#1
types yes but lots of solid depth for 162.

Tuesday after a nice hot cup of Joe. Light breakfast. Morning trip to the John to flush out the system. Healthy lunch and a cocktail to calm the nerves before that 1pm 15 min meeting
Best lunch date
@nshoretavern

@pirates
clubhouse tore doesn't have Rs or 2s or Cs or... lol
#LetsGoBucs
Josh Palacios last 99 PAs in the majors wrc+ of 126 OPS .838 5 HRs. Last 2 seasons of minor league play 41 games in AAA 17 in lower levels doing rehab etc. 149 wrc+ 11 Hrs. If he can be a late bloomer success story it would be huge.
Endy Rodriguez may have finally started putting some things together at the plate. 147 wrc+ his last 10 games. He's invited to play in the futures game but if he can keep this up maybe a callup after the break? Still very little power 2 HRs in last 44 games
Losing Endy is obviously not good. Hope he comes back stronger than ever. Could be a blessing in disguise Henry Davis becoming a star player at catcher and forcing them to get an actual good OF is the best way to become a contender.
#LetsGoBucs
Did i really go on here and see people hating on Tellez for being bad against the exact pitching everyone knows he's bad at hitting? Lol fans are ridiculous
Some interesting
#s
early on
Castro 117 wrc+
Jack 487 xSLG
Bae 357 xSLG
Choi 421 xSLG
Henry Davis 26.3 BB% 5.3 K%
Pegeuro 20 wrc+
Nick G 36.3 K%
Hudson Head -4 wrc+ 53.3% K
Gorski 46.7% K
Endy .620 OPS 62 wrc+
Small samples of course

@PITPiratesChat
Pirate fans are weird. This is a no brainer smash the accept button deal. Somehow they think their RP is worth Jackson Holliday. It's a great deal. I like some other guys like Vuckovich and Lin but still
Just because the Pirates drafted a SS doesn’t mean he’ll play there. ; and has nothing to do with Cruz. He could end up playing CF or another infield position. Shortstops at the lower levels are generally just the best athletes.
@SPeeblesSports
@Jram2TBJ
Greatly increased fan interest throughout the rescue as opposed to maybe 1/3 of it. These taies only happen because sports agents and the union have conditioned people to think that way. Good for fans good for baseball stop arguing the CBA for them
I really liked Jazz for the Pirates but folks have to stop using
@MLBPipeline
they haven't done their update since before the season. Pirayes don't have many guys better than the catcher the Yankees traded.
No one asked but no one ever does so heres my roster as of today vs RHP
