A Baseball Fan in general but die hard Pirates fan who is tired of the product on the field and the leadership!

@DanAdam16613173 @northsiden0tch @rlrasmu That’s not true. It’s everywhere stating he his fine to swing and always has been. One of his parents even put it on another social media platform and said the injury hasn’t gotten any worse. All you dumb a$$es want to keep spinning a narrative that’s not true. Play him.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@937theFan That’s an excuse. He slides and reaches with his left arm and holds on to bag with left hand. There is no good reason he’s not hitting. Pirates are afraid to admit they just don’t want to send a 12 million mistake down or DFA him.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@northsiden0tch Y’all talk about needing Cruz and Griffin back but when might that be? How is rehab going? Is this more serious than thought originally?

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@DOMISMONEY So what’s the timeline? He said yesterday he was headed to Florida so when will he start playing with Bradenton or whoever to make his way back to Pitt?

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@KwanDislike @MarkEThomp1944 @tigersMLreport How’s he been rough fool? A 19/20 year ild hitting with that average and playing SS as well as he is- you mad McGonigle could never do that at Griffin’s age. Just stay in your lane and worry about Detroit.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@PlatinumKey13 Has stayed behind in count all year. Hard to throw it when never ahead.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@rtjr There’s a way. DH Griffin

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@Feed_KATTowns Poor defense? He is a top caliber MLb defender at multiple positions. Go ahead and troll though. What he’s done offensively as a 19/20 year old is incredible.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@_adamcrowley @937theFan What if they let Griffin DH while working back with arm. There’s no full time room for Valdez. Heck they may not be smart enough to let KG DH. Who knows their thinking.

[Jason Mackey @JMackey_PGH]

Plenty of good last night involving Paul Skenes. But familiar problems cropped up for the Pirates in their loss to the Dodgers.

Broke it all down on today's episode of the Pirates Insider Podcast: https://t.co/eceY6hyLs0

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@DOMISMONEY @PiratesOnSI Looks like he threw before the fielding drills according to multiple reports.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@DKPghSports If O’hearn is good to play RF full time, why would the @Pirates not make Griffin the DH until he is ready to get back to SS. If they care about winning then it is the only move that makes sense and he can continue his throwing program while DH’ing. It makes the team better.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@937theFan What if the Pirates are ramping Konnor Griffin up to be a reliever out of bullpen and be like Ohtani. His high school #’s pitching were crazy good.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@SNPittsburgh Rushing has a history of doing this! Why don’t @Pirates put one in his rib cage?

[trev @BayAreaTrev]

Is there a more unlikable player in baseball than Dalton Rushing lol

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@SNPittsburgh Remember back when everyone said Konnor Griffin didn’t know how to play the position on this exact type of play? He knew exactly what he was doing weeks ago. Same exact situation.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@yinzermols @runnydiarrhea69 @AlexJStumpf He was DH for two games and had 4 total hits. We would still be rolling if they just let him hit and rest arm from throwing. @Pirates

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@Panther49547104 @frazmoney93 That’s exactly right. We blew a 6-0 lead before that.

[WinterOfBen @BaseballPGH]

@pghez @frazmoney93 Ever played the SS position at big league level? The guy has been great. We blew a 6-0 lead before that. There is no reason the bullpen shouldn’t be able to get 3 outs after that play.
