  1. Ben cherington has been here 6 years and he drafted 1 guy ‘skenes’ who’s contributed in that time frame. This guy is the worst GM in pirates history and worse than littlefield. Bob nutting is the biggest clown to ever exist in the city of Pittsburgh and i never wanna see his face ever again or hear from him ever again. Get tf out of this city and leave the city because no one likes you nor respects you at this juncture. If this were the medieval days he would’ve had tomatoes thrown at him daily.

  3. Evergreen at this point but wtf is Bob Walk talking about. Down 3 runs with 1 out in the 9th and you need to take a close pitch on 3-2?? What??

  4. Shouldn’t be surprised that we follow a 10 run bat breakout yesterday with 4 hits and 0 runs today. See yinz for some Skenes starts and Bubba’s debut. I’m out.

  5. Well, it wasn’t their day, but I guess that’s life.

    Sometimes you crank that Soulja Boy, and sometimes that Soulja Boy cranks you.

  6. This is a bad, bad, bad baseball team. There’s nothing else really to say at this point.

  9. Guardians are playing Orioles on TBS tonight – think I’m just going to watch and root for them for rest of this season and probably rest of my life…a small market team that does things right – everything the Buccos aren’t.  

  10. I am one of the more optimistic members of this sub, but that was one of the grossest and least-fun games I’ve watched in a while. Christ.

  12. I’ve always joked that the Pirates were the city’s punishment for the Steelers and Pens’ success.

    Starting to enter “cruel and unusual” territory, though.
