@wudeydo34 baseballs a game of up and downs. Every team has their moments its how they get through them that separates the best of the best

JP Crawford might the worst defensive 3B I’ve ever seen

WAR Leaders - Pitcher

Yep the Pirates certainly could’ve drafted the player that didn’t go in the top 20 over the consensus best bat in the draft

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

The Pirates could have picked local legend Cole Young in the 1st round of the 2022 Draft.

Instead they picked Termarr Johnson. 4th overall.

Johnson is hitting .196 with a .612 OPS. At Triple-A.

Why is Cherington still the GM?

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

Don’t care how much wind there is, greens rolling at a 10 in the US Open is garbage.

[AT @BaseballWRLD_]

Every single hitter here is at least a league average bat and the average OPS+ of this group is 131

[ThienemanSZN🇺🇸🇳🇱 @ThienemanSZN]

If you went 2/5 with a home run every game in a season you would have an OPS 0.022 less than 2004 Barry Bonds

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

Pirates already have 3.4 more bWAR than they did all of last season

WAR by Team

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

Yeah and they’ve taken a massive step backwards defensively. Far more than the pitching has regressed but let’s not mention that

[Bob Smizik @BobSmizik]

Despite pitching being a strong point in 2025, #Pirates fired their pitching coach. How’s that worked out?
Team ERA in 2025: 3.76, 7th; in 2026: 4.06; 15th
Starters ERA in ‘25: 3.71, 6th; in ‘26: 4.01, 9th
Bullpen ERA in ‘25: .3.83, 13th; in ‘26: 4.14 17th
Significant decline!

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

Paul Skenes should have 0 ER and Nick Gonzales should have 3 errors yet somehow those numbers are switched

[MLB Scoring Changes @ScoringChanges]

This is the only known instance in the history of Major League Baseball in which a four-base error occurred in which the ball went over the fence, and it’s very possible it could happen again if the play tonight is appealed.

The fact that it would be the second time to happen in history, and both times the outfielder is Joe Adell, is unfathomable.

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

We can pretty much say Hank is a bust. The other three who were mocked to the Pirates in 2021 haven’t been much better. Jack Leiter hasn’t been worthy of 1.1, Mayer and Lawlar have been extremely underwhelming so far in their careers.

[SleeperMLB @SleeperMLB]

Man, what happened to Henry Davis?

- No. 1 pick in 2021
- Slashed .370/.483/.663 in final college season with 15 HRs
- Hit .290 with a .936 OPS in the minors (189 games)

His MLB stats are straight up PUTRID:
227 games
696 at-bats
.174 AVG
19 HR
.548 OPS

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

Just trade his ass to pitcher purgatory in Colorado and let him start there while rocking a 6+ ERA

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

245 seems low compared to the MLBPA proposal and I’d guess it ends up being higher if anything ever happened like this. However the floor proposal is the only way that a team like the Pirates could make Paul Skenes a one hat player.

[Jesse Rogers @JesseRogersESPN]

BREAKING: As expected, MLB proposed a hard salary cap to union officials today as part of the next CBA, sources tell ESPN. The salary floor for teams beginning in 2027 would be set at $171.2 million which includes player benefits with the ceiling at $245.3 million.

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

I’m so glad I didn’t let myself buy into this team. Potentially getting swept and we trot out Mangum over Garcia and Triolo over KG lmao

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

53/162.

Don Kelly is worse than Derek Shelton

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

Jared Jones is Bubba’s replacement not Carmen Mlodzinski’s

[Tanner @TannerBierly]

You can’t fucking walk two batters with a 3 run lead. Just go at them and make them beat you.
