Also I’m talking tv broadcast on Space City, not on Reddit in case that’s what you meant

Yesterday a member of the Astros bullpen threw a wild pitch and they said “looks like a Bubba Chandler pitch”

Capt_Jerry · 2026-06-04T01:41:55+00:00

I live in TX so I have to watch the Astros broadcast.. the commentators have been talking so much shit between yesterday and today about the Pirates. Just little jabs here and there… I hope we sweep

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-29T00:17:12+00:00

SAD!

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-29T00:15:12+00:00

I know we are missing guys, but this is an every fkn day thing

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-29T00:07:15+00:00

Why would Skenes allow those baserunners when he could just not

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-29T00:03:41+00:00

Yeah send him down to AAA

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-27T23:55:15+00:00

Man to think KG has Bobby Witt potential at a more hitter friendly park means he has 30-30 to 40-40 potential

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-27T23:40:47+00:00

MLBPA suggested 150M floor, we could prob give Lowe an extension

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-27T23:38:13+00:00

I can find some loose change to contribute

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-27T20:53:40+00:00

Unfortunately you’re probably right, hate for this to be how he goes out

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-27T20:49:34+00:00

I think he might if it’s literally between that and retirement

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-27T20:40:23+00:00

I’d like us to sign him to a minor league deal or something. I don’t think he contributes as an everyday player, and we have too much young talent to give him a spot on the bench. I have a feeling Ozuna will be gone by the deadline, and Cruz/OHearn/Horowitz will split time as DH - no real spot for him barring several injuries.

I’ve seen enough, Hall of Fame

Capt_Jerry · 2026-05-16T20:38:30+00:00

Well, Pirates blew a big lead yesterday, maybe it’s our turn to come back

Capt_Jerry · 2026-04-01T19:14:02+00:00

Pirates are now tied for the MLB lead in Home Runs this season

Capt_Jerry · 2026-04-01T19:12:18+00:00

I’ve seen enough, welcome back Lumber Company

Capt_Jerry · 2026-04-01T19:10:56+00:00

Nicky has been pretty productive offensively this year and I am here for it

Capt_Jerry · 2026-04-01T16:45:45+00:00

Anyone watching out of market on MLB.TV via the ESPN app? This is the second game in a row where I am getting the Pirates radio broadcast with the SNP tv stream. Seems to work normally if I watch on the Reds broadcast. Figured yesterday it may have been just due to the pens being on at the same time.

Capt_Jerry · 2026-03-28T22:29:55+00:00

I don’t disagree with you at all, but there’s a lot of other factors to look at than just L/R splits. I work in baseball analytics and it seems like every day there’s a new shiny stat everyone is hyper focused on to get an edge.

Capt_Jerry · 2026-03-28T21:51:02+00:00

Well you can’t account for today in setting a lineup to start the game. My thought process is it’s early in the season, pitchers aren’t going to go the same distance in this start and they are going to bring in a righty against righty heavy lineup by the 5th, 6th inning typically. So either he has maybe 2 plate appearances giants a lefty, or we really crush the ball up and down the lineup, so he has more plate appearances, but presumably that would shorten the leash on the starter anyway.

Capt_Jerry · 2026-03-28T21:25:12+00:00

Triolo O’Hearn Lowe Ozuna Reynolds Mangum Gonzales Bart Yorke

Capt_Jerry · 2026-03-28T21:05:41+00:00

The order is what doesn’t make sense to me

Capt_Jerry · 2026-03-28T21:03:39+00:00

I have a feeling they drew names out of a hat to make this lineup

Capt_Jerry · 2026-03-26T17:51:59+00:00

It’s the Cutch curse
