@PHLDawgs theres two I’ve always wanted to do: 5 minute sets at open mic comedy night (number of clubs open to negotiation).At no point can you mention why you’re doing it.

the other is trickier but I’d like to force the loser to enter a live chess tournament and get housed by children

.@PGHtransit My conductor on the South Hills village car didn't open the doors at Memorial Hall and made no announcement at any point. How does that happen?and why even have a call button if it does nothing and your employees ignore it?

@FrankNepa @NoahW_25 @JDeePGH @eYARKulation The former Pirate who is really surprising me right now is Osvaldo Bido. Pitching great for Oakland. Didn't see that coming.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@rtjr The Pirates are probably sub 5% to make playoffs now. At this point I hope they bring up Davis to get DH at bats so he only has to worry about hitting. Need to figure out what role he's going to have next year, and I assume Bart/Endy are your catchers.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@_NoahHiles @FrankNepa @AustinRBechtold WAR accounts for this in its positional adjustment, right? I believe it's -18. It roughly treats a DH as a 1B that gives back 12 runs in the field. For perspective, Rooker's fWar is 0.1 higher than Bryan Reynolds on the season.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@_NoahHiles @Bobby_O74 @AustinRBechtold He's third best by OPS+ at a pedestrian 104, which is tied with Connor Joe. And neither of those guys is very far ahead of Tellez or Gonzalez at this point. Rooker would be the best hitter on the team and is better than McCutchen by a gigantic margin.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@rtjr .@FrankNepa asked me immediately after the Bart GS how many times has a team lost back to back games while hitting a grand slam? And here I thought he was just being pessimistic.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@BloopAndABlast @church_of_greg Me neither. While we're on the topic...I keep waiting to hear about Vince Velasquez coming back here if he's healthy mid-season.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@BloopAndABlast @church_of_greg Also I wonder if they're thinking of giving Ortiz a look at replacing Gonzales? Stretch him out a bit tonight. We'll see if he comes back out for a few innings.

@Animal_Clans @velodus Same. I remember getting an audio editor just so I could get the music for my text message alert. One day a random person heard it and knew what it was. Made my day.

This clip cuts out Conan cracking up about how happy the German Shepherd 😀

@TheRealAlbrot @whygavs It's funny you mention Delwyn Young in this context. He hit the first homer off Strasburg in Strasburg's debut! I remember thinking "well that's a bit of trivia I'll never forget" precisely because it was Delwyn Young of all people.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@whygavs I heard Brown on the Fan talk about how next year they HAVE TO contend. I'm pretty excited to see how he'll walk that back next year.

.@TeamStubHub Hello, I am having an issue with a ticket I sold. I already DM'd with the info. Not sure if I needed to tweet first as it's been 12+ hours with no reply or acknowledgment. Thanks!

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@rtjr The apathy in the fanbase is really something. Opening Day should be a guaranteed sell out. I wonder how bad attendance will be this year...

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@GlitchBurgh @northsidenotch Are the Pirates also not in the need of a slam dunk PR move?

I got an email the other day for groups of 10 for opening day. If they need to peddle those for opening day I can't imagine what their other ticket buying internal metrics are saying.

@whygavs This brought back a flood of memories of convincing my parents to pony up for a 2400k baud modem so I could download shareware from the Apogee BBS.

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@ASaunders_PGH @FrankNepa @ZeFlashNFL Why is that? Not saying you're wrong just not sure of the connection. Didn't they effectively swap Nelson's money for JuJu? I'm sure Ben wanted JuJu back. Nelson wanted a long term deal, right?

[Cory Schuster @cjschuster]

@Patterico @JazzShaw The efficacy statistic is also misleading, IMO, if you don't mention the different testing circumstances.

@FrankNepa @npc210 @Jason_Shetler It was wild to see Aramis Ramirez back in Pittsburgh for half a year.

@InClementeWthr I'd like to think he sees what is going on with things like dogecoin and is doing this to get visibility for The Lunchbox Lunchbux
