@AustinRBechtold This pitching staff is a hot pile of steaming 💩. They are so overrated it’s ridiculous.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@Mikey5Aces This is crazy. Kelly is out of his league

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

He’s awful. The late year swoon has started early this year.

[Kody Duncan @KodyDuncanPGH]

Mitch Keller going to have an ERA over 5 if he keeps pitching the way he has been lately,

Been throwing meatballs

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

When does he ever have his best? He has no consistency.

[Austin Bechtold @AustinRBechtold]

Mitch Keller is not locating well today. He just seems off and doesn’t have his best.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@Matthew_Sean96 All show and no go

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@KDPomp Justin Lawrence couldn’t have been any worse.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@AustinRBechtold Why not? he talks great. lol

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

If he wants to be a starter then he needs to pitch better than this. He’s all ego and no go.

[Bob Pompeani @KDPomp]

Jones struggling in 2nd inning. Gray 2-run single. 3-3

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@PiratesFaithful And he couldn’t time up 79-88mph pitches from a relief pitcher. What a bad hitter.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@PiratesFaithful This lineup is a joke. Weak bats

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@AustinRBechtold Another bullpen meltdown

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

It looks like Chandler will reach his pitch limit in the first inning. Terrible start!

[Mikey Aces @Mikey5Aces]

Wow Bubba Chandler just threw his 10th pitch to the Cubs 1st batter of the game and PCA just drew a walk. Not a good start.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

Gonzales cannot be in the 4 spot! He has no power

[Chris Dokish @ChrisDokish]

This is how the Pirates lineup should be for the rest of the year

1B- Horwitz
2B- Lowe
SS- Griffin
3B- Gonzales
LF- Reynolds
CF- Cruz
RF- Valdez/Garcia
C- Rodriguez
DH- O’Hearn

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

Excellent!

[Bob Pompeani @KDPomp]

ERA down to 1 .83

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

The whole team is regressing. Why? Why doesn’t someone ask Bill Kelly why they can’t hit lefties? Other teams do. Pin him down!

[Bob Pompeani @KDPomp]

The bad news is Toronto has upped Skenes pitch count to ensure the #BlueJays get into #Pirates bullpen

91 pitches still in 6th inning

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@Mikey5Aces I’ve noticed Toronto can hit 97mph fastballs but the pirates can’t hit 92 mph fastballs. Something is wrong with this teams hitters and it’s organizational wide

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

The hitters on this team can’t even time up 91 mph lollipops. How sad.

[Mikey Aces @Mikey5Aces]

Pirates have 3 hits, have struck out 6 times so far in 5 innings, are in last place in their division, yet our best player Brandon Lowe is sitting on the bench

Please anyone, make it make sense. Does this team actually want to win baseball games? I really don't think so.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

What sucks is Chandler is probably going to lose the game because of errors and lousy hitters. Cruz is terrible, his HRs don’t cancel out his 80+ strikeouts . He is a head case as is evidenced by his constant watching hittable pitches and strike 3’s

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

Super

[Jason Mackey @JMackey_PGH]

That's it for Chandler. All in all, solid outing. Defense let him down.

5 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 11 K

1st Pirate w/11 strikeouts since Skenes 7/11/24 at MIL
1st in 5.0 IP or fewer since Erik Bedard (also 11 on 5/3/12 at STL)

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

2 pirate hitters in a row made outs in 1 pitch. They have no business swinging at first pitches if they can’t do anything with it.

[rwpepperpicker @gueillermo]

@ScarQuip I suspect he may like to but he seems to have no clue where any given pitch is going let alone painting with them.
