@MarkMaddenX Arm motion. He’s reaching toward 1st base as he breaks his hands instead of reaching toward second. Different from first year+. Result is arm dragging behind the body which affects accuracy.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

@Dejan_Kovacevic But when he does play, he hits 4th or 5th… players need to execute, but these types of managerial issues have plagued the team all year.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

Dear Don Kelly,

Why the absolute hell is Marcell Ozuna hitting anywhere near the top of the lineup, or playing at all?

Pirates Fans

Yohan Ramirez has given up an earned run in 7 of his last 13 games in relief. Brandon Bidois ER in 4 of 8 appearances.
Dennis Santana ER in 4 of last 8.
This is not good.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

This is the worst possible lineup they could put out this year. I don’t care about the result, it sucks.

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

39/162.

Not letting Skenes finish this game is the problem with baseball.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

Steelers suck. Badly need a change in leadership. Why would you go RT with 1st pick? On the flip side… Howie Roseman gets Lemon and Ravens get Ioane. Brutal

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

Konnor Griffin stole 65 bases last year in AA. Why would you not have him running with 1st and 3rd and 0 outs?

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

@Nick_Gordon19 That’s the 3rd loss I directly attribute to his decisions. Maybe 4th

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

A reality of baseball is guys get comfortable knowing where they’ll hit in the lineup day to day. Righty/lefty doesn’t matter. No pitchers go 9 anyway. Build a best lineup and stick with it. Pirates need to get there.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

@victorthigpen24 @Nick_Gordon19 Yeah that’s fair. From the perspective of rounding out the roster, him and Spoon are good to keep and maybe develop. But they’re also have to accept that role.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

Jeff Capel allowing one of the worst 3pt shooting teams in the ACC to attempt well over 30 threes in a game is the epitome of a TERRIBLE coach

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

Allen Greene and needs to spend money to buy out Capel, get a coach who can actually coach and develop guys that don’t need big NIL money. Sure they won’t be as good individually, but the collective will look like a team.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

@ByCraigMeyer Stop comparing McCarthy to Stallings. McCarthy has had success everywhere he’s been. Stallings complained he didn’t have resources to be successful.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

I am not unhappy at all with the McCarthy hire. Did well in GD and DAL. The last two “young DC” hires produced 2 SB’s in 34 years, and the only 2 in the last 46. Maybe that model doesn’t work?? And maybe this is a stopgap and there is a plan for after? Optimistic

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

@treywallace @ChrisDokish When is the @NCAA weak-a** leadership going to do something about this s**t? Happens all the time and nothing is done.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

My enthusiasm for my favorite team @Pitt_MBB is sadly gone. Reset long past! No recruiting class can fix Capel’s lack of a plan, the atmosphere at the Pete is stale, administration wants to fix it by raising ticket prices, and the @OaklandZoo has been a joke for years.

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

How do you fix the Pens not being able to close out games? Unreal

[Nathan Planavsky @nplanavsky]

@oneandonlyturbo Until they bring in the right coach with a real offensive system and tough defense, we’ll never see it again. Doesn’t matter who Capel recruits
