Hi.
No, I am not happy with how the Pirates handled the offseason.
I still hope they win and will continue to root for them.
If you do not, good for you, I respect that. Don’t tell others how to be a fan.
Go Bucs.

Never forget that when Andrew McCutchen was blatantly beaned on purpose by Arizona, sending him to the DL and possibly costing the Pirates the division, there was zero discipline. None.

Not typically a Shelty hater, but sitting three of your best bats, AND not even PHing them once for any of your atrocious hitters down 1 late, inexcusable. Acting like the game isn’t remotely important.

Today, they are 2.5 out of first.

Could sign Dallas Keuchel today to eliminate this “competition”, make the rotation awesome 1-5, strengthen pen by moving Lyles there, and keep the payroll under $90 mil.
Could also sign Gio Gonzalez for pennies on the dollar. Not great but better depth than Rookie Davis.
According to
#Pirates
manager Clint Hurdle, right-hander Rookie Davis will be in a four-way competition for the fifth spot in the starting rotation.

I just can’t with the outrage. THEY WON. What more does a no hitter realistically accomplish? The Skenes hype meter is already off the charts. Packing PNC. Likely starting ASG. National pub every start. The only irritating thing would’ve been if they had blown the lead.

Snark and sadness and anger about the current situation aside....shout-out to Clint. The man at the helm for the return of winning ball to the Burgh. A good dude and a strong leader of men. Great ambassador for Pittsburgh. Didn’t end well, but he had a solid run.
For your time as our manager, your time in this community and for nine years of leadership.
Thank You, Clint.

McCutchen was absolutely everything you could ever want in a star athlete and a franchise player. Short of a WS run, he did it all here. Those three playoff years may be long gone, but they were incredible and unimaginable
