So. Here we are. Last week NBC made the decision to cut the entire PHT Staff. It is what it is. In the short-term you can still find me at @Pensburgh and @yardbarker, and I am also trying a subscription substack. Maybe you would like to give it a chance.

It has been this way for a couple of weeks now, but there is really no point in having any sort of investment in this Pirates season.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

The only thing that makes it more maddening is that this sort of thing keeps happening.

I would not have taken Valdez out of the game for pinch runner Billy Cook for the same reason he shouldn’t have taken Flores out of the game for pinch runner Henry Davis last night. you may need that bat later if it goes to extra innings

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

I don't like when Kelly takes Valdez out of close games late for a pinch-runner.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

I've said this before, but when I was growing up Gary Anderson was looked at as a monster of a kicker, and when you look back at his numbers he was making like 80% in a good year.

A 50-yard field goal was something you barely saw.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

The NFL moved the extra point back because it determined it was too easy to make them.

How long until we narrow the goal posts because every kicker is a freak now.

[Matt Verderame @MattVerderame]

Harrison Butker just hit a 69-yard FG … EASILY

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

@RosenthalMax Yeah that was still fucking dumb

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

I can not believe Josh Johnson is still going in the NFL. I love it for him. I still can not believe it.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

In 12 years Kenny Pickett is going to be the new Josh Johnson.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

We all make bad takes but the "they should trade Oneil Cruz for a bullpen arm because Jake Mangum is here" were a special level of bad.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

The past week of NHL discourse on here has been a trip.

66 vs. 99 debates for some reason?
Pavel Datsyuk mythology
124 players under the age of 22 better than Zach Benson?

We need somebody to make a dumb trade immediately.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

@scarpizio Helluva approach

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

Great stuff from Gonzales and Davis with the game on the line.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

Oneil Cruz is back

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

@JoshYohe_PGH Infuriating

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

There is no question Allar has an NFL arm. I just don't know if he has everything else. And it's impossible to know that throwing to these guys and with these guys blocking for him.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

Between the uniforms and the punts Wetjen, Dunker and Johnson probably think they are still playing a college game at Iowa.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

68 is so cut.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

If you need two yards, Kaleb Johnson will get you two yards.

If you need four yards, Kaleb Johnson will still get you two yards.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

That's a Yankees-Red Sox double header on Saturday, too.

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

Next weekend:

Red Sox-Yankees on Saturday.
Mets-Astros on Sunday afternoon.
U.S. Open Sunday night.

Let's go.
