#Pack9 legend(s) Tyler McDonough single, score for Portland 3-2 lead vs Richmond w/Will Wilson. @tm_mcdonough 7-game hit streak for the Sea Dogs. Wilson walk for the Squirrels through six innings

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

I don’t care how much talent this team has because if you can’t manufacture runs (ie bunt runners over/hit behind runners on base), have quality at bats, and have coaches that can manage the different aspects of the game you get a continued losing tradition. The obvious !

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

Final.

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

We will trade Joe block and Derek Shelton for him

[Jason Benetti @jasonbenetti]

Kevin Brown is one of the most talented, thoughtful, curious, positive people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, working with and calling a friend.

He’s truly one of the best play-by-play announcers in the country.

If the Orioles don’t want him, another team’ll be elated.

When Americans celebrate an American loss, something needs fixed. @AlexiLalas is right. https://t.co/5VwYEj1bfK

[Mark Madden @MarkMaddenX]

This trade sells tickets, too. Great optics. Looks like a heist. And it shows again that the Penguins are always looking to win. Unlike the Pirates and their lame, cheap bull***t.

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

Everyone but Shelton agrees

Ke’Bryan Hayes:

March 30–May 30
.216/.270/.337 — .607

May 31-June 9
.559/..559/.941 — 1.500

June 10-Aug. 6
.167/.176/.222 — .398

Except for 10 days, absolutely awful.
I’m not a batting coach. But this guy needs a major swing reconstruction in the offseason. #Pirates

Tyler McDonough comes through with an extra insurance run

"Clemente playing a kind of baseball that none of us had ever seen before, throwing, running & hitting at something close to level of absolute perfection, playing to win but also playing the game almost as if it were form of punishment for everyone else on the field"

[Bob Smizik @BobSmizik]

There are many reasons why the #Pirates are so abysmal. Here’s 1 of them. Top pick of final 7 Neal Huntington drafts: Cole Tucker, Kevin Newman, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Will Craig, Shane Baz, Travis Swaggerty, Quinn Priester. No. 1s should be cornerstones. These guys are mostly pebbles.

[Phillip Ayscue @PAYSCUE]

#Pack9 legend Tyler McDonough promoted to AAA Worcester. @tm_mcdonough versatile OF/INF 3rd round pick by Boston 8-for-last-17 for AA Portland, recorded 19RBI, 11 steals

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

What’s it matter if you can’t score. Get the best hitter in college baseball. It may help our real issue. Scoring runs

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Brilliant baseball man John Wehner on @937theFan: “I want Paul Skenes…he can be in the rotation by the end of the year.”

Thoughts?

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

So what should Andy’s title be if not a hitting Coach

[Bob Smizik @BobSmizik]

The people who are blaming the #Pirates massive offensive ineptitude on hitting coach Andy Haines are the same people who think you can make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

Wonder if Shelton ever heard the term “manufacturing a run”. It’s unbelievable

He starts Castro vs a righty and he hits what from the left side ?

[Kody Duncan @KodyDuncanPGH]

Only coach that shouldn’t be on the hot seat is Oscar Marin

Everyone else should be feeling the 🔥

Inexcusable

[Dejan Kovacevic @Dejan_Kovacevic]

Andy Haines is still being paid to make hitters better. Someone tell me, right here, how someone in his position keeps that job through a year and a half of these types of approaches, the passivity, the lack of awareness, the lack of basic fundamentals.

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

Bye

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

When I am President, American families will have a champion in the White House! We will give every parent the right to choose where their child goes to school, we will end the gender ideology that is running rampant in our schools and we will ban chemical and surgical gender transition treatment for kids under the age of 18!

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

Don’t bunt Davis over with no outs and a 1-0 game. Shelton needs to have his passion. Coach the game

[Rum Bunter @rumbunter]

20-8 in the worst division in baseball to 34-40, 7 games out.

It's ok, Ben Cherington is fine with losing. His projections and such.

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

This team needs a good dose of Jim Leyland Discipline & Execution
Coaching the game

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

The glovework from Henry 😤

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

Like someone on that management team needs to measure the quality at bats of the following players for the last 9 games. Maybe the just don’t give a shit

Santana
Castro
Bae
Hedges
Mitchell Last 2 games
Hayes

Compare them to Cutch, Marcano

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

Final.

[Darren Callihan @CoachCal69]

Yeah had it not been for his playoff record the last 11 years

[Colin Dunlap @colin_dunlap]

This is pretty legit stuff.
