My final takeaway from the presser: The Hoffmanns are real people. I'm betting they know how much bread costs. And they came off as unguarded, sincere, but also sharp biz people who see the Penguins as a good deal on which they'll build a generational family empire with dollars, not nickels and dimes. They take the Penguins seriously, which was refreshing. Actions speak louder, but the words were good.
Pirates have lost both games in Toronto. On the verge of dipping below .500 for 1st time since March. And Triolo is in for Griffin. And Mangum is in. Meanwhile Ozuna has a .794 OPS in May. Not playing. What is Kelly doing???
What a horrible loss. Absolutely awful. 5 alarm fire, smashing the panic button on this bullpen. Very firmly on Ben Cherington to fix this and fix it soon. I don't care that it's early, I don't care that you'll have to overpay. The answers aren't in the building currently.
I absolutely love the #Penguins re-signing Connor Dewar. Played a major role on the fourth line this season, scoring a career-high 14 goals. $2.25M AAV for 2 years is a bargain.
Bringing back Solovyov provides solid defensemen depth, if nothing else.
It's only May, but does Shohei Ohtani have a real chance to win the NL Cy Young Award?
“It would make a great story... the question is will he accumulate enough innings [to qualify]?” - @StevePhillipsGM
What? That’s insane. It doesn’t nor should it. This org has been a charity case for decades, we cannot expect people to come out to see a last place team.
I'm making a $1500 donation to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. In light of the Drew Allar fiasco. I want to help people not working. Who don't have a job. Who are struggling and need some help. Allar truthers. Poni lovers/haters. I'd love for you join me.
