2024 Pirates Season Thread
I’m just upset upper management will do nothing to help this club. If you’re not going to bring in guys that can hit in spite of the coaching, then get rid of the coaches. This whole “they’re in a slump” bs is just an excuse to do nothing. Like, today it should have been 8-2 with the amount of guys ...

I was staying with my grandparents in Brentwood the night of the Mt Washington tornado in 98. Ton of wind, rain, and lightning while we stood on their front porch. Probably the closest I've been to a tornado warned storm until this year, and there's been 2 in the last 2 weeks (the cell that spawned...

Didn’t attend a Red Lobster until I met my wife. We went once and that was it for me. Overpriced, overprocessed seafood. No thank you

RVs are a pretty good example of my theory. They are expensive and uneconomical and time consuming. But they are also fun and a great way to make memories. I don’t own an rv and I don’t have a country club membership but those are two things that would be very rewarding but also extremely uneconomi...

You’re banned from the outdoor threadI have a general rule that there’s in an inverse relationship between “economic value” and memorable fun. Hobbies weddings kids all fun. All terrible in terms of cost/benefit.

My wife is glad to let me do all the finances, so we have a shared account. There are way too many budget items that it would create too much work to split the bills.
Our rule is if it’s under $100, no need to ask. And obviously don’t go spending $99 every day of the week on random crap.

What a defeated fan base the Pirates have... Shouldn’t be surprised by this. Not sure how anybody has any optimism beyond individual performances. This is beyond a string of bad GMs, it’s rotten to the core. I probably started losing all optimism early 2000s. That’s still 10 years of buying into th...

Hard for me to get excited about Skenes. It’s lipstick on a pig. Not even sure who’s to blame for the offense. I guess it all boils down to cherington no matter the issue: drafting, developing, hitting strategy, coaches…all on the GM. But you’d also have to say he’s done pretty well with the pitchin...

Both of my boys are going to try out for the higher travel soccer league. My oldest has a chance but he continually gets passed over by players already in the higher leagues. I’m having him try goalie this time. He’s pretty good at it so hopefully they take him but also let him play in the field You...

What's slightly concerning is how bad the minor league teams are. Indy is around .500, but Altoona has lost 14 in a row or something. Bradenton not much better. I know they aren't supposed to win per se, but develop players...but the Pirates farm system is supposed to be pretty well stocked. Or so ...

They won’t fire Cherington. Maybe the coaching staff. Even that I have my doubts. Dey don care
