@JoshYohe_PGH Josh, interested in your thoughts/analysis on Ben Kindel. what do you believe is Kindel’s ceiling and how soon can he reach it? Once reached where to do see his goals and points per season averaging? Lastly, could he take over 2C duties this year?

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.

Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

Two pilots appeared to make meowing noises and dog barks as they communicated with each other before air traffic control at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport called them out on Sunday.

"You guys, you need to be professional," an air traffic controller is heard saying.

President Trump today seemed to call for the execution of six congressional Democrats.

@EricCrossMLB Why Sal over JJ Wetherholt?

@JoshYohe_PGH How focused do you think Dubas is on 1st rd pix for the 2026 draft to increase their number of McKenna lottery tickets when in trade talks for Rakell, Rust, etc..? Other GMs would likely be hesitant to give up these lottery tix. Are they more available now or at trade deadline?

Next year will be Bob Nutting's 20th as principal owner of the club.
The resume thus far ...
The Pirates have ranked 26th or lower in Opening Day payroll 17 times in 19 years (never higher than 20th)
4 winning seasons
3 playoff appearances
0 division titles
0 playoff series wins
*Top free agent signing on record: 3y/$39 million to Francisco Liriano in Dec. 2015
*A bottom third ownership group this year in terms of payroll spend as % of revenue (in other words, still cheap when adjusted for revenue) ... and with a golden arm in Paul Skenes on a pre-arb contract
As we are seeing in videos and social media posts, fans are reaching a breaking point

[Travis Sawchik @Travis_Sawchik]

"As a lifelong Pirates fan, a former employee, and a former season-ticket holder, I don't believe the morale around the team has ever been worse."
If Pirates fans shout long enough, loudly enough, will anyone listen?
