My yearly Pirates record prediction that nobody cares about 83-79 .. in the running for the final WC spot in the NL..

[𝐍𝐒𝟗 @NorthShoreNine]

Smh

[JoPa @jopalover77]

Occasionally the Pirates will just invent a player mid season.

Maybe this guy worked in the front office, or perhaps at the crab fries stand.

Who the hell is this?

[Christian ✞ @CWolfPGH]

This might be the cleanest bat flip I’ve ever seen

Completely out of the camera lol

[MARZ ™️ @25marz]

Without Cruz & Griffin and this bullpen .. outlook feels bleak

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

ROSTER MOVES: Today we placed OF Oneil Cruz on the 10-day injured list (left hand fourth and fifth metacarpal non-displaced fractures), retroactive to Monday (June 8), and recalled OF Billy Cook from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Not again. #Ugh #LetsGoBucs

FIX THIS F*CKING BULLPEN

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Skenes Night: He’s due. So here’s the deal. If Paul strikes out 9 or more. Like he did the last time he faced the Dodgers. And the Buccos win. I’ll give away 5 Paul Skenes jerseys. Just follow me. And retweet this post. And you’re good. Let’s go Bucs!

The greatest throw in baseball history

@AustinOravec Can’t wait to see our bullpen against these two teams.

[𝐍𝐒𝟗 @NorthShoreNine]

Pirates are tied with the Cubs, Dodgers, & Yankees as the only teams with 6 positions players having at least 1 WAR

2.4 Brandon Lowe
1.7 Oneil Cruz
1.5 Bryan Reynolds
1.5 Nick Gonzales
1.3 Spencer Horwitz
1.1 Konnor Griffin

_____________

Ryan O'Hearn has a 0.9 WAR

[MARZ ™️ @25marz]

@MarkMaddenX Should be Skenes, Jones, and Keller with Ohtani going Wednesday against Jones.

[𝐍𝐒𝟗 @NorthShoreNine]

Since May 1, the combination of Wilber Dotel & Evan Sisk has given up 2 runs in 24.2 Innings (0.73 ERA).

Everyone else has given up 56 earned runs in 77.2 Innings (6.49 ERA).

Paul Skenes on a brutal 11-9 loss to the Astros here tonight. — From José Negron in Houston

[ParrotTimes @BucsParrotTimes]

Runs Scored in Pirates losses this season:

0-2: 15 losses

3-4: 4 losses

5: 1 loss

6: 3 losses

7: 4 losses

8 runs:

9 runs: 2 losses

6 losses scoring 7+ runs is unacceptable

[Pirates of the Allegheny @OfTheAllegheny]

The Athletics are 15th in the MLB in converting Save opportunities (63.3%), an average team at doing so.

If the Pirates converted 63.3% of their Save opportunities, they would be 37-25.

If they matched the best Save percentage in baseball right now (HOU) they would be 42-20.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

A 9-5 lead with two outs in the eighth inning.

And they are going to lose.

This will be at least the fifth game this year where they've had a win probability of 88% or higher in the 8th inning or later that they've lost.

Pathetic.

[Evan @TheRealEvanio]

25 Save Opportunities. 12 Saves. 13 Blown Saves. This needs to be addressed ASAP. Call people up. Make trades. Sign free agents. Something. It’s ruined the season so far. If we didn’t blow those games, we’d be 46-16. Instead we are 33-29

[Dan Zangrilli @DanZangrilli]

That’s loss No. 5 on the year when leading after 6 innings.

Loss No. 4 when leading after 7 innings.

13 blown saves…

…for those keeping track at home.

[MARZ ™️ @25marz]

This fucking bullpen

[MARZ ™️ @25marz]

Owners playing this so well in the media so far.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

MLB wastes no time responding to union chief Bruce Meyer:
‘Our salary cap and floor proposal addresses our fans’ concerns by leveling the playing field while sharing baseball revenue with the players 50/50 like the other leagues. Under our proposal, Major League players will receive more compensation in year one of the system than in 2026. We are ready to listen if the MLBPA wants to counter our proposal at the bargaining table.”
