I think this game also falls on the defense. At some point you have to make a play for your guys that might be struggling. They had chances.

I really, really hate this bullpen.

I hate this bullpen.

Has anyone tried a bullpen full of starters before? Maybe it’s worth exploring?

Nothing but fastballs after this and they get out of it.

Imagine that, Henry, they’re just waiting on the non-99 stuff.

Do I pump up Braxton Ashcraft because I have some 1st Bowman autos of his? Yes. But I also have this beaut because I’m a Brax-stan.

You can’t spell “complete game” without Braxton Ashcraft. Ok…that’s not true, BUT then you’d have to turn it over to the bullpen and nobody wants that.

Braxton Ashcraft for DNC Chair (no wait, don’t do that)

Feels too early to make a panic trade for bullpen help, but it also feels like something GMBC might not be able to address in time. They need some miracle like some HS baseball coach who hasn’t thrown since A ball to discover he can now throw 102.

Tommy Pham fightin raaaahnd tha wurrrrrld continues.

Justin Lawrence has to go.

Weird to see the Pirates on the other end of a real Piratesy play.

Rather than call up Jack Suwinski, they traded for Alek Thomas. “Uf CoArSe Th3y'Ll FiX h!mMmMm”.

Star Wars fans love the universe, but not the movies. The universe George Lucas created is so vast with endless possibilities. But the writing in the movies is so bad that all 6 are really tough to watch back, at times. Also, go watch the first lightsaber battle and try to take Vader seriously.

My kid started binge watching The Simpsons and Futurama over the last year. Then he moved on to LOTR and he just finished the George Lucas Star Wars movies. He’s too cool for this generation.

It’s been a few days since 2026 Topps Chrome Black released and the Jacob Wilson/Jack Wilson dual auto hasn’t hit eBay yet. Only card I want.

Can't wait to get my new passport!

Clubhouse ❌ Bouncy House ✅

This game is an encapsulation of this year’s Pirates team. Great starting pitching, a potent offense, and bunch of dumbfuckery in the field.

Greg Brown and Bob Walk are upset that Oneil Cruz is not at 2nd on a pop up that the CF lost in the sky. I’ll give him hell when it’s deserved. He should not be at 2nd.

Clearly Braxton Ashcraft is breaking BlueSky.

New pitcher rankings out

Nick Gonzales is not a professional shortstop. His range is bad, his glove is worse, and his arm is Sunday softball worthy. If this team wants to contend, he’s not your guy.

Great move to pull your starter who’s under 80 pitches.

I’m sitting on a nuke here, right? 15 year old Konnor with his debut date? Move over Elon, there’s a new billionaire in town.

100mph. Oof.

Defense is going to cost this team several wins. They just gave up a run right after a play where Triolo went after a ball he had no chance at, but was fielded by Gonzales, allowing the lead runner to go to 2nd.

“Like a middle infielder” - Bubba Chandler was drafted as a two way player.

Cruz in CF. Mlodzinski on the hill. Bullpen is taxed. Easy skip.

@pirates.com Oneil Cruz today or nah?

Who among us haven’t gotten naked at a Giant Eagle in the middle of the day? Don’t kink shame… www.wpxi.com/news/local/w...

Hey here’s a tool they’ll let you use to see the ball better. Nah, I’ll just fight the sun.

Oneil Cruz is a clown. Put on sunglasses.

The take of “Pirates look better offensively but defensively they’re a mess” sure does seem to be accurate.

Took the wrong guy out, tbh.

More importantly, whoever decided he’s a CF, please also go away.

O’Neil Cruz….go away.

Bryan Reynolds…woof

O’Neil Cruz reminds me so much of Pedro Alvarez. Too many times you want to rip your hair out watching him play. But then he sends a ball to the shadow realm and you forget all about it for a few seconds.

Just how Panama drew it up

The President says there could be attacks on US soil and that “some people will die”. This should be on the front page of every newspaper, news website, and news show in the country.

To pay for this, our Trump-Epstein Tarrif checks go down $5 each time a bomb gets dropped.

Big Arch Review: - Get extra napkins - Lettuce makes it worse - Crispy onions are nice - Couldn’t really taste the sauce - Sauce is fine, though - Double QPC is better - Might be better than a Big Mac - Would get again, sans lettuce Lettuce made the top bun slide all over the place.

Kids, wake up, Konnor Griffin homered again. 408 feet, 107.8 mph off the bat. Came against an 0-1 sweeper from RHP Kyle Leahy.
