Joe Burrow had some VERY strong words about Steelers QB Kenny Pickett 👀 #HereWeGo

@RomanAround412 @Hmetz505 You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about

The Pirates have a chance to make the postseason. Mlodzinski is a strong bullpen arm. He is not a starter. His best games have literally been when Kelly has an opener pitch the first inning for him.

If he’s not willing to do what’s best for the team, that’s just ridiculous.

[Danny Demilio @Demilio22]

Carmen Mlodzinski met with the media after news he’ll shift back to the bullpen:

“I’m still communicating with the organization and the people in my corner, whether that’s my family, my agency about what’s next. I really don’t have any comments after that.”

[Mark Madden @MarkMaddenX]

The Pirates’ single biggest problem is Bryan Reynolds.

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Anyone with eyes sees the potential. But right now, Bubba is bad, and he’s losing the Pirates the game almost every time he starts.

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Realizing I forgot Diomande, who I also see as a depth piece, but wow this team is in pretty good shape depth wise

@dyarksky .244 with an .871 OPS in May…. that’s pretty much what we signed up for. The entire point of the tweet was that he’s coming back to being a good power bat after a slow start.

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Thinking about all the people who wanted Ozuna off the team after one month because they wanted to look smart for being miserable about the signing

This is the best looking roster Jeff Capel’s ever had HEADING INTO a season.

By no means am I saying we have better players than we did in 22-23 or 23-24. We won’t know that until we see them play.

But we do have less question marks. And still a lot of intrigue. I love it.

[Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello]

Bryant transfer Timofei Rudovskii has committed to Pitt, sources told ESPN. 6-foot-9 guard from Russia was an intriguing mid-major freshman last season, earning a spot on the America East All-Rookie team after averaging 12.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and shooting 36.2% from 3.

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

@BigGamePanther I agree that it seems there was a lot of thought put into what they wanted out of this roster. But I will say, this team still will have some star power. George, Ndongo, Sumler are players that I probably wouldn’t have expected to be in the running for. Staff did a great job

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Two nice additions for Pitt Hoops yesterday to polish the roster. Without much money to spend, Pitt got:

-An intriguing D-II star with D-I size/athleticism who can shoot
-A serviceable high major 3rd center

Pitt has a chance to get back on the map nationally with this roster.

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Don Kelly might as well walk up to the opposing manager and say “Hey, we’re going to try our best to lose this baseball game. Wishing you the best”

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

39/162.

Kelly better not pull Skenes.

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

This team is significantly worse than the team they had 2 years ago and probably isn’t even as good as last year’s team but ok

[Nick Bateman @nickbateman33]

I am not exaggerating this is the most loaded CBB team we’ve ever seen in our lives

They might not have a superstar but they have 11 guys who would be the best player on 90% of CBB teams

- Boozer
- Blackwell
- Foster
- Sarr
- Ngongba
- 5 ⭐️ Williams
- 5 ⭐️ Rippey
- 5 ⭐️ Howard
- 5 ⭐️ Boumtje
- Scharnowski (top 30 transfer)
- 4 ⭐️ Meyer

That’s an absolute joke

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Can’t get too caught up over dropping stupid games in April, but the Pirates desperately need to figure out how to win consistently. The roster is too good now to be losing in so many different awful ways. Gotta string some success together against lesser opponents eventually

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

As long as the actual field is still 64 and the added teams all have to participate in the play in, this isn’t the end of the world, but it’s pretty sad.

It’s like that Oneil Cruz opening day nightmare never even happened LOL

Skenes has allowed 3 runs total since

[DixonDisciple @DixonDisciple]

Omar Khan is straight up the worst GM of all time.
