2024 Pirates Season Thread

[dodint]

I am officially a jaded pirate fan with this.

Welcome!

[nocera]

Is there any other kind of Pirates fan?

Edit:

Top of the 10th: 4-1 Reynolds 2run HR, Hayes HR
Bottom of the 10th: Bednar gives up a 2 run HR

[Ad@m]

*slowly raise it*

Bednar gives up a 2 run HR

What are they going to do with this guy

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Well Fatso had 0 innings pitched in spring training I believe. Perhaps a simple 15 day IL stint with a rehab assignment would be a good idea. It wouldn’t even be the fakest IL stint ever.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Mlodzinski is probably close to be ready to be called up, so he could take Bednar's place on the roster. (I knew he played for the loathsome Gamecocks, but didn't know he's from Hilton Head. Win some, lose some )

[Dickie Dunn]

Is "fatter than David Wells" IL worthy?

[King Colby]

Yeah you can't just keep trotting bednar out there and expect he's not gonna serve up whatever meatballs fell off his breakfast hoagie. Put him on the phantom arm fatigue IL

For when they’re good again

[dodint]

See that's good because the Pirates season ends in September, right in time for hockey.

Entered my zip code and it says I'm outside their home territory but yet they are a home territory team on my cable system.

[dodint]

I bought it by accident because their checkout screen didn't really do what it said it was going to do. Bad omen.

[Troy Loney]

User error

[dodint]

Indeed.

I struggle to think of another retailer/service provider that doesn't have a final review screen before actually purchasing. Particularly when they charge you on screen two of three.

I was trying to check if it would accept my zip code as being in or out of market.

[King Colby]

They realize it's the pirates and if some sucker made it that far into the process they had better take their money

[dodint]

Bingo.

2 subscribers so far. Dodint and Chuck from uniontown

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Chuck is ancient. No way that dude is navigating the process to stream the Bucco games.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Two hits against the a’s!?

Just fire the hitting coach. It can’t possibly hurt the situation and it would at least indicate that the results are unacceptable

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Joe-has a professional approach at the plate. He has to have a professional approach at the plate because he doesn’t have enough power to hang in this league unless he can offset the lack of power with good at bats. I’m guessing this was self taught over the past half decade or so

Alika Williams-I can only imagine how low the expectations were for his bat

Bart- no real comment to add here. Small sample size?

I am not a “fire the hitting coach guy” but Loney is right. Fire this guy to at least show you care somewhat about the on field results

[King Colby]

I'd fire the whole staff. They were supposed to be decent and they are total dogshit.

[Troy Loney]

I think the pitching coach is good at his job. Shelton, cherington, and Haines can be fired into the sun.

[willeyeam]

they were supposed to be fighting for 500, and they are. i don't think they are underperforming or overperforming
