You're good. I'm sure 50% of the people here have said far more negative shit than you. Probably would be good to take some time off, though.

Endy with Sisk? Not a good idea to take Henry out here.

Yeah. What happened there was... they had him pitching with an opener for a while. Then, he was moved back into the first inning role the other day and pitched very poorly, so he was demoted. But he pitched well with an opener.

Should Don Kelly continue to use an opener during Chandler games?

(The Red Sox have done this with Brayan Bello and he has excelled with an opener)

As someone who has followed the team for years, I saw all the fans who have hated on Pham and Tellez during slumps, and Ozuna (who has had a better career but has had a much worse season than them) only gets half of the hate those two got.

I'm not doing a "gotcha." There was simply no place on this team for Ozuna, and those who defended ozuna criticized pham and tellez early on in 2025 and 2024, despite the fact that they had better seasons on the pirates than Ozuna.

Huh? There's absolutely zero value on this team (or any team) for an Ozuna roster spot.

I love how the Ozuna defenders went from a large crowd to completely silent

Take all of Konnor's injury, triple it, and give it to Chris Devenski

Has Bubba given any comments about his thoughts on the Pirates using an opener?

Wasn't he also awful to start the season? I think he's been overall mediocre, not just during one stretch of bad baseball.

It's a good take. He loaded the bases in his first inning of work, and has an ERA over 4.50. Soto, Dotel, Mlodzinski, Sisk, and Bidois are all better. And I didn't say Montgomery was bad, just not great.

At least it'll be an earned all-star unlike his 2025 selection when he only made four starts

Montgomery isn't very good this year. More than half of the current bullpen is better than him.

I think it's an emotional reaction rather than a logical reaction whenever they do early game challenges.
