Since Braxton Ashcraft made his MLB debut on May 26, 2025, only three National League pitchers with at least 160 innings have a lower ERA:
Cristopher Sánchez: 2.04
Paul Skenes: 2.19
Yoshinobu Yamamoto: 2.68
Braxton Ashcraft: 2.98
Bryan Reynolds is one of the most underappreciated Pirates of my lifetime. Just a consistently steady, solid player. Who just so happens to turn into Barry Bonds every June lol
I keep seeing Pirates fans saying the team is making Paul Skenes “pitch to contact.” His strikeout rate was the same as last year going into today, where he K’d 10 in 6 IP. What are they talking about?
Bubba Chandler’s potential has been on full display his last two outings imo. Could’ve gone 11 innings with just 1 run allowed if the bullpen was competent
If we didn't waste $12M on him we could be DHing Griffin while his arm is hurt. Or we could rotate O'Hearn or Reynolds there. Or we could promote Valdez and give him an extended look. But no, let's keep the fat drunkard with a 63 wRC+!
Yes Bidois and Dotel were terrible tonight but I refuse to lose sight of the fact that Marcell Ozuna is the most useless Pirate I’ve watched in quite some time
