A combined shutout? Kids at the bottom of the lineup piling up hits? Outstanding. #RaiseIt 🏴‍☠️

7-0 Buccos, the kind of lead that I express no opinion about whatsoever

is that good?

Konnor Griffin hitting .276 in the majors, two years out of high school 😎👍

Nice work by Carmen Mlodzinski, who certainly looks more rotation-worthy right now than Bubba Chandler.

Alex Caruso currently Googling “most horrific things you can say to enrage a French person (with pronunciation)”.

someone recently (i apologize for not remembering who) pointed out Mattson's fastball has a very different movement profile this year than in the past and it's very apparent on his savant page: baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-playe... (less rise, more arm-side movement)

“The centers of power that existed and were the deciders in the past aren’t the same as they were before,” said @jjabbott.bsky.social, who should still be posting on Bluesky. (ok, I added that last part myself)

I think Ken Jennings should run for President someday, but in the meantime I don't mind him subtly inserting woke messaging into our nation's most-watched syndicated program.

Pittsburgh Public Theater lays off staff as merger proceeds with Pittsburgh CLO: Staff members say they were told Tues. their positions have been eliminated and were told to prepare to leave the same day. www.wtae.com/article/pitt...

Looking at some of Pirates RHP Isaac Matton's advanced metrics and he's had a rough year overall Some time down at Triple-A might be just what he needs to get back

Sources: the Pirates are recalling RHP Wilber Dotel and optioning RHP Isaac Mattson. The bullpen has struggled lately, so the Pirates are giving one of their top pitching prospects another shot in the majors.

let's check in on the pirates seas--ah, well, at least brandon lowe will be getting paid and we'll miss him a lot when termarr johnson is terrible next year

Stephen’s got you covered on pertinent Pennsylvania politics just in case you spent your evening watching the Buccos… like an idiot

Bullpen gave up five runs in five innings. Great work everybody.

Cardinals didn’t even have the decency to win it earlier so I could’ve safely watched basketball. Simply rude.

The worst thing that's happening in sports right now is the Cardinals finally taking a rebuild year, truly not trying at all to win, and still being better than the Pirates. Just enraging. Bad things will never happen to them

SPENCER, BABYYYYYYY!!!!!

ONE TIME, OZUNA. PLZ.

just let him on base. please. let him on.

Pirates needed a reCAPTCHA there to support The Password

NFL Draft clock moved to Victory Heights, will display countdown to Pitt Volleyball national championship.

Catena may well have won had his campaign not sent out a mailer saying Bloam was supported by “an extreme left group that advocates for transgender athletes in our sports.” Oh well!

saw the little score on my phone change right before Sisk gave up that home run. siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Velvety smooth, Oneil

Bryan Reynolds?? CLUTCH?!?!

Putting my old Lehman Brothers hat on to read this press release. All those headlines about the finances of the City of Pittsburgh being dire beyond belief? Well, Fitch is out with a new rating this afternoon that says things are AA and quite stable. FYI: www.fitchratings.com/research/us-...

I keep telling you: Bari Weiss is extremely bad at the day to day aspects of her job and it’s embarrassing for everyone involved, especially her the Ellisons wanted a propaganda empire, not a laughingstock

very funny to put a Knicks-Cavs billboard up during The Game Of The Year. you're having the best meal of your life and the waiter walks over to your table and slips you a flyer for the Subway meatball parm footlong

my sympathies to anyone working at an NBC station, but this is all terrific

Pirates fans 🤝 Sabres fans Sean McDonough narrating your nightmare

as someone who covered that Pitt search, I thought this exchange between Jeff Goodman and Dan Hurley on a recent Field of 68 podcast interview was interesting everything I was ever told during that search was Pitt put forth a serious offer but was always playing from behind

It's time for overtime playoff hockey which calls for an iconic Jon Bois tweet

If you requested a mail-in ballot, it's too late to mail it (must arrive by Tuesday in PA), but in Allegheny County, you can bring it to a ballot return site on Monday! In PA you can also bring your ballot packet including the envelopes to the polling place to vote.

Since 2020, "the City of Pittsburgh and a small cluster of outer-ring communities along the I-79 corridor account for virtually all of the region's modest population gains. The remaining 90% of municipalities across the Pittsburgh region are losing population: most slowly, some rapidly."

“The industry is currently taxed at 36%. [Lawmakers] discussed raising that levy to boost state aid to public transit systems, a key sticking point in closed-door talks. However, the industry caught wind and launched a successful lobbying push to kill the measure.”

For those of you who live in Pennsylvania, and for those of you who have friends here, tomorrow is our primary election. I hope it runs smoothly. If anyone has questions or concerns about how to vote, or if you see something screwy or odd, the @padems.org Voter Assistance Hotline is 1-833-PAVOTES.

Your mom and dad love a show called Keebler Ranch and you can’t look it up, there’s no information about it, but 30 million people watch it every week and there’s a line of frozen entrees at Walmart called “Gus Keebler fixins”

They are raising taxes on electric vehicles but not on gasoline vehicles. It’s bad policy during an energy crisis but also during any other time too.

Pirates RHP Jared Jones ran into some trouble in his latest rehab assignment start, while also pitching well overall www.si.com/mlb/pirates/...

probably for the best — Yorke has only played once in the last six games tbh on Friday I wasn’t even certain that he was still on the roster

If you're not watching NBC for Aces-ATL, this is a good time to tune in

one of my (few) complaints about PNC Park is that it’s concourses can’t really handle a big Sunday crowd big crowds of any kind push the limits. but *Sunday* fans in particular — with tons of families lining up for concessions that can’t be easily automated — gum up the works

expectations have fallen from Win The Ballgame to Don’t Get Complete-Game-Shut-Out Again

Apple Watch probably gives us the closest approximation of P00P
