The Athletics are 15th in the MLB in converting Save opportunities (63.3%), an average team at doing so.
If the Pirates converted 63.3% of their Save opportunities, they would be 37-25.
If they matched the best Save percentage in baseball right now (HOU) they would be 42-20.
Konnor’s Clutch: I’m sick of watching Philly beat Pittsburgh. So how about this. If Konnor Griffin hits a HR vs PHI in this series. And the Bucs take 2 of 3 or sweep. I’ll give away 5 Konnor Griffin jerseys. Just 1) Retweet this. And 2) follow me on here. Philly sucks!
Today’s @PittsburghPG marks a new beginning.
After Block Communications announced plans to close the paper, @VenetoulisInst stepped in �� and this morning, the first printed edition under new ownership landed on doorsteps.
About half the staff has been retained, and hopefully more familiar bylines return. Rebuilding takes time, but it starts here.
Strong local journalism doesn’t sustain itself. It takes readers, advertisers, and a community willing to support it. Our ads in today’s newspaper are a small way of showing up for Pittsburgh’s news ecosystem — and we hope others will as well.
The Post-Gazette has 240 years of history behind it. Here’s hoping it has a future, too.
A great idea for you tonight: go check out our @PGSportsNow crew for the live show at @Aslin_BeerCo in the Strip District. Great food, great beer, great space and tons of draft chatter, including my live zoom-ins from Steelers HQ on the South Side: https://t.co/eIbBMyVmcn
