Look me up on YouTube! I make funny little videos from Golden Age comics.

@ThePoniExpress Is it Brandon Aiyuk? Is a deal at the goal line?

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@AGretz They don't necessarily need a bat, but a guy who can field better than "Gold Glover" Triolo would greatly help a defense that is pretty damn bad.

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@RealBrittHughes @netflix And those 10 episodes contain 17% of a story that you're planning to stretch out for six seasons over the next 20 years. A story that would have been a single episode of something back in the broadcast era.

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@_NoahHiles LOL. This team thinks Jared Triolo is the second coming of Cal Ripken. No way GMBC is going to get another shortstop. Also, that would require he wake up and actually do something which he's criminally opposed to.

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@Mikey5Aces And they also religiously practice "load management" which all the spreadsheet boys swear prevents injuries but has never shown any actual real world benefits.

@_NoahHiles Eh, he's saving his arm for a team that's going to pay him a billion. Minor leaguers like the Pirates get the half-assed, hot dog salesman Skenes.

Team USA….

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@KodyDuncanPGH Yeah, and Skenes is deliberately tanking to save his arm for that billion dollar contract with a real team. So great to be a Pirates fan.

@GRoditiD Not to mention that these generally aren't episodic TV or even self-contained seasons, they're dragging out a single story over multiple seasons and expecting people to just sit for years waiting for the next bit of it.

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@Steigerworld2 I don't think the Pirates are somehow uninvolved victims here. Rather, I think our "genius" new pitching coach is 100% on board with this. That's why he's here.

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@ThePoniExpress Wait, shouldn't this list be one pitcher and 7 first basemen like the other lists made by the national media? Or did Bowden actually watch a Pirate game at some point this season unlike the others?

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@ThePoniExpress Realistically, neither is ever going to happen.

[Aphthakid @aphthakid]

@ThePoniExpress They still have a fabulous offense. Not bringing in more pitching and replacing the pitching coach with Slowpoke Rodriguez are what crippled this team.
