Pirates needed a potential stud in return for Cole that could lead them heading into 2019-2020. They got fine, good players instead that will be complimentary pieces long-term. If you can't get that star for your best trade chip, you shouldn't be running a MLB franchise. Fire NH

Musgrove doing what other Pirates wouldn't https://t.co/abccgZhhPU

Rizzo should get hit tomorrow first thing. Knowing the Pirates history with these situations, however, don't hold your breath https://t.co/Zi2E6BNtjN

I don't know about this slide by Anthony Rizzo.

This is smart. Ride the hot hands https://t.co/2ZR2jynsGw

The Pirates are going to roll with a four-man outfield rotation for the time being. Dickerson, Marte, Polanco starting today. Meadows will play all three spots.

@jimbo915 I'm honestly not sure. Wouldn't imagine they were ranking prospects 30 years ago

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

People forget that Austin Meadows was ranked the 6th best prospect in baseball before injuries pushed him back into the 40s. Highest prospect ranking in Pirates history. Will be a force for years to come

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

Austin Meadows just hit his first big league homer. Wasn't anything cheap about it either. Deep to right-center

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

And now add his first stolen base!

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

Austin Meadows picks up his first career hit in his second at-bat. Single past the second baseman

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

Short term callup. Will take over in CF with Marte on the DL. Better option than Sean Rodriguez in the field https://t.co/6ZfzVR1YqJ

BIG news https://t.co/ZjcTxBKUww

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

That's mind boggling https://t.co/7fPNJFRGox

The playoffs do not start today. If they did, however, the NL field would be: Arizona, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Should Jameson Taillon pee on his blister so it heals quicker?

This is horrifying https://t.co/tCuAe4uf4y

I've always thought Kingham had #3 starter potential but injuries derailed that. Glad to see him cash in on this opportunity https://t.co/qVLVn02GOk

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

Pirates were losing 5-0. They came back to win 6-5 in extras, including scoring 3 in the 9th. Maybe this team is for real

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

This is awesome https://t.co/1QPCF7SvG2

Longtime Pirates usher Phil Coyne, 100 years old today, is going to be recognized in Cooperstown. The Hall of Fame will display his uniform and ID badge.

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

Jung Ho Kang has received a visa to come back to the US. He will report to the Pirates in the coming days

[Justin Broyles GZSR @GZSports_JB]

Not having J-Hay for 6 weeks is a big blow. Would imagine Moroff comes up now
