2024 Pirates Season Thread

It was Brubaker and $550k of international bonus money. Did that mean the PTBNL doesn't suck? Or was that the price to dump the salary

Is the PTBNL Soto?

We had four Brubakers (Brubaker, falter, ortiz, Gonzales). Now we have three

Rude. His 3 mlb seasons (26yo - 28yo)

'20 11 games 47ip 17bb 48k 4.08 fip
'21 24 starts 124ip 129k 1.29whip

I'll be keeping a close eye on McCutchen, pretty pathetic performance yesterday.

0-9 5K

Browsed some preseason power rankings.

The bottom tier is clearly established: Oakland, Washington, CHW, Rockies, royals. Then the pirates are usually the last team before the tanking tier.

Early returns, I think the Mets, marlins, and angels are all terrible and below the pirates. I think we need to see where the pirates stack up against the tigers, guardians, reds, and brewers. That’s I think they’re at

Watching Skenes on mlb.tv right now.

And also, watching televised minor league games is pretty lol.

First ball in play, camera panes to the wrong fielder.

Royals might be okay imo

Royals might be okay imo

Is their pitching good? Cause their lineup is mostly retreads after Witt and I guess Perez ( is he still good?)

Might have been the camera angle, but when I was watching, I thought he might be getting squeezed a little by the ump.

But yeah, Skenes is amazing, this will be a playoff team at the latest next year.

Boys I gotta say this rotation is thin now but if today is any indication, Skenes-Keller-Jones in a couple months might be electric

Perez also going to be solid at pnc park

Granted that Marlins lineup is soft, but:

I mean he's a solid 4/5 on a good team. Our problem has always been guys like him having to be our #2

DFA Falter. Ridiculous to start him after his performance this spring and last season.
