The Pirates’ bullpen has struggled mightily as of late. Unfortunately, there’s no instant fix. For the pen to become a quality unit, it’s going to take help from the whole club, some new additions, and a lot of luck. @TheLeadSM

@NotHankDave Yeah his defense is not great, but nobody is saying he’s an elite player. He is just a solid player who deserves to be in the lineup.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@PresterJohnEsq @hundredand1 No, but I’d rather see Callihan at the plate than Triolo.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@PresterJohnEsq @hundredand1 I answer no, but you could put Gonzales there and have Callihan play 3rd.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@NotHankDave People still don’t like him. They just are more quiet bc he’s doing well this year, but when he has a bad game they’re loud. I’ve had conversations with many. It’s the group that hates players who hit for average. (Him and Mangum).

Jake Mangum is a good baseball player and Pittsburgh fans dislike him for some unknown reason

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@jitty412 It’s because he’s a small guy that doesn’t look like an MLB player and who shouldn’t be good based on the eye test, so he people already predetermined he’s bad and root against him. But he tries his ass off. By far gives the most effort of anyone on the team.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

Good to get back in the win column today. Terrible performance this series though. Need to be much better. Good stuff from Mangum, Reynolds, and Gonzales today

[Kody Duncan @KodyDuncanPGH]

I don’t care what people say, Jake Mangum is a good ball player and I enjoy watching him play for this team.

He makes mistakes at times but he helps this team more than hurts them.

There we go Nicky G!

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

Lowe needs to go to Home with that ball. Bases loaded no outs. Double play won’t end the inning. It’s a force play at home, if you throw it there you almost certainly get him.

@PGHplayerDev @indyindians @Pirates Wow, Garcia really popping off as of late. We should probably call him back up.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@BuccoHotTakes Disappointing. Doesn’t look like the same guy we saw earlier.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

Bro…

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The Pirates are the only MLB team in the last 50 years to have the tying run on 3rd with 0 outs in the 9th inning 2 games in a row but lose both games.

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@TeddyBearBudda @bedfastmoth_ @colin_beazley Thanks

[Hays Marionneaux @NeedtoNeaux]

@treeRockSand @NijThaGreat @UnderdogMLB That isn’t the rule. He can’t impede his path to the ball is the rule. He didn’t. The fielder was able to field it cleanly.

[Kody Duncan @KodyDuncanPGH]

This is up there with the Jerry Meals call 16 years ago.

One of the most pathetic calls in MLB history and of course it happens to the Pirates again.
