Bob Nutting has been called many awful names in his time as owner of the #Pirates. But here’s a new one: Coward. He doesn’t have the courage to fire the men who deserve to be fired, but instead scapegoated the hitting coach and the bullpen coach. What a pathetic organization!
Pirates finish 2024 at 76-86, the exact same record as last year despite having Paul Skenes, Jared Jones, a healthy Oneil Cruz and spending nearly $38 million on 6 free agent signings and 2 players added via trades this past offseason.
Paul Skenes this afternoon:
2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO
23 pitches, 17 strikes, 2 whiffs
HE FINISHES THE SEASON WITH A 1.96 ERA. NL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. NOW.
Likely winning fewer games than last season with Paul Skenes pitching the way he did and having a better starting rotation is a damning indictment of Ben Cherington and everybody involved with constructing this team. Just appalling.
as funny as this is at times. i also just feel so sick to my stomach knowing that so many people are watching this hearing everything trump is saying and thinking yassss <3 he’s so smart <3 we need him <3
I'm pleased to report that the advocacy is coming from inside the nuclear house.
Gabriel Ivory is a nuclear engineering undergrad at @TAMU who just did an internship working on the @WECNuclear eVinci microreactor.
This is the new wave: nuclear advocate-engineers
Just 9 days ago, the Pirates were on the verge of going 56-52 and then they imploded and decided to choke the Astros series sweep away.
Since then they have lost 8 of the last 9 games and are now 56-60. They are on about to be in last place.
Accountability doesn’t exist
