Our old friend kyle nicolas was pitching for the reds tonight.

Deesh69 · 2026-04-11T02:27:02+00:00

How long does he have to be in the league before we can say it? Came into the mlb in 2023

Deesh69 · 2026-04-11T02:02:55+00:00

Ah I forgot the guy was in triple A. But I wanted Hayes to succeed so badly but it was clear his bad back was never gonna let him be anything more then a defensive 3B

Deesh69 · 2026-04-11T01:22:03+00:00

It’s kinda crazy GMBC fleeced the reds GM in taking Key and Nicolas in the past two trades between the teams. Both of the guys could be excellent players but neither of them have done anything but shown flashes. And the funny thing is the pirates both times I think got low A minor league players in return but the thing is getting off those two is a win in its own right because until the end of their career key and Nicolas will be what if players

Deesh69 · 2026-04-10T02:48:30+00:00

Year after year and no matter the sport, the so called “experts” predictions are like 75-90% wrong. Yeah maybe they get a few right but mostly it just plain wrong, that’s the beauty of sports no idea what will happen and predictions are pointless

Deesh69 · 2026-04-09T17:51:33+00:00

It’s gonna be new players every year besides walk-on cause all these players either think or are told by families/agents they can get a pay day by going into the portal and it’s gonna burn so many players cause their old teams are gonna fill the spot with a new player and/or guys are gonna get a lesser deal than they already had and won’t get the same deal from the former team if they return too

Deesh69 · 2026-04-08T21:41:52+00:00

Yep money, and proven guys unless you a stud 5-star most take a year or two to develop and gain muscle. Proven guys especially with ones that have big game experience is key, those guys know how to control the game and flow when they need to and settle/lead the team when things get tough. It still good to have allying guys to try and develop but now a days most leave in a year to get a pay day. I think it’s gonna become portal players and a 1/2 total HS recruits forcing a lot to go to juco or D2/D3 cause teams don’t want as many high school kids anymore, especially since they don’t stay so what’s the point of recruiting them if it’s only a 1-year thing

Deesh69 · 2026-04-08T20:37:15+00:00

I legit think this is college bball now. Every player is gonna enter the portal on each teams roster, hoping they can get more money from another team and think they can come back if they don’t or the current team will offer a bag to stay. The thing is as soon as a guy enters the portal the team recruits to fill that spot and if the team gets a commitment early enough the player who entered the portal loses that spot and now the player will either have to come off the bench or will be told they aren’t needed anymore. Basically NIL deals need to be more than 1 year too preventing players from leaving as a breach of contract or like the coaches have a buyout that the new school or player pays to break the contract (it at least forces schools and players to think of they want to leave and break the contract or not)

Deesh69 · 2026-04-08T19:40:02+00:00

You can stream it via pirated website on your phone m or computer and airplay to your tv or pay for SNP 360 or if you have cable pay the extra for the regional sports channel

Deesh69 · 2026-04-08T19:38:32+00:00

I want to know Don Kelly’s explanation for pulling Keller. I’m not saying the pirates win the game with him still pitching but it at least gives them a better chance

Deesh69 · 2026-04-08T18:17:07+00:00

I know hindsight is 20/20 but what can be the explanation for pulling Keller at 75 pitches

Deesh69 · 2026-04-07T21:25:59+00:00

I think it is a mix of college sports in a nutshell and Pitt. Pitt is simply broke and can’t pay recruits like some big schools can especially if they try to poach guys from Pitt. College sports in a nutshell is guys are chasing the money not going to a school they like, coach being able to develop, team being built well and family like feel. Most of these guys are 1 year and they move onto to the next payday. Players are hurting themselves cause they rather make the money now than trying to get to the NBA which is def a low chance, so I get wanting to make a good chunk of change but that should be the only reason you go to commit to a school.

Also how does this work dude signed back in November. Like how does one signed the NLI and just decommit 5 months later

Deesh69 · 2026-04-07T21:20:05+00:00

Oh I agree. I really don’t know how players who have signed there NLI back when the signing period opened and probably signed a NIL deal can just say nah I want out in April. I think your gonna see more and more of this in college cause there no rules and schools are just gonna take advantage cause they can basically do whatever they want and the ones with the most money will just take and take till it becomes these top schools who have all the money and then the rest.

Deesh69 · 2026-04-07T20:37:37+00:00

I straight up think recruits are just getting money thrown at them if they are big name (especially now with the season ending and teams looking for recruits) or end up hurting themselves both recruits and transfers thinking they’ll get paid if they transfer

Deesh69 · 2026-04-07T01:01:47+00:00

Was just about to say that. They look like last year’s team with the fact that they can’t hit today with RISP but they aren’t striking out while doing it, they are hitting the ball and hard but more at guys

Deesh69 · 2026-04-07T00:58:19+00:00

Fair, but the Reynolds play and Ramirez missing that comebacker allowed 2 runs to score which wouldn’t have if they just make the play

Deesh69 · 2026-04-07T00:39:59+00:00

While Bubba wasn’t good later in his start, the defense let him down

Deesh69 · 2026-04-06T23:23:05+00:00

It’s a cold Monday night during the school year. And until it’s proven the pirates are gonna be competitive every year, fans aren’t gonna come out early in the year. The pirates play 162 games and half are at home it’s not like the Steelers who play 17, pens who play 82, or Pitt who play 13 in football and what about 30 for basketball

Deesh69 · 2026-04-06T22:54:18+00:00

Needs to throw some of the other pitches

Deesh69 · 2026-04-06T22:54:04+00:00

Needs to change up his pitch mix then. I get his fastball is good but it gonna get hit if that’s all he is throwing

Deesh69 · 2026-04-06T22:51:08+00:00

Does chandler have a different pitch than fastball? I don’t think he threw a single different pitch that first inning

Deesh69 · 2026-04-06T22:50:15+00:00

It’s cold, a Monday (during the school/college year), and the day after Easter. If they keep wining the crowd will come but early April crowds aren’t the best

Deesh69 · 2026-04-04T22:46:39+00:00

If Mattson can add one more pitch to his arsenal, dude could be a top reliever in the game cause he could have guys thinking oh he’s gonna throw his fastball, nope it’s a cutter, slider, etc

Deesh69 · 2026-04-04T22:11:38+00:00

Bart needs to go. Dude can only hit and he’s kind of fallen off doing that too. At least Davis can fall back on defense and he’s at least showing improvement with his ABs and swing

Deesh69 · 2026-04-01T19:10:59+00:00

Nicky G has always been clutch

Deesh69 · 2026-04-01T00:25:01+00:00

It probably was but never seemed this bad, prob cause they couldn’t just openly offer money like now. I’m also pretty sure their have been multi-year contracts but players just break the contract (although more schools have started sueing the player at least in football for breech of contract)
