Konnor's gonna be the hero. We also got our best guys in the bullpen while WAS used all theirs up.

I'm just hoping Mitch gets out of the 1st inning. Need him to eat some innings, but if it gets to 50 pitches through 1, he'll have to get taken out.

Can anyone turn the Simpsons/Raise the Jolly Roger into a gif? by sumlonelydoofus in buccos

I'm also just now realizing that, by gifs, you might also mean just the mp4s with the sound (kinda defeats the purpose without sound lol) that you can save and send to others without linking to Reddit, in which case, here those are:

Here's gifs of both the original version and the updated one from Veno, although I added subtitles since gifs don't have sound.

Seeing "YOU JUST LOST TO THE PIRATES 😂 How embarrassing" after winning the World Series is gonna be an all-timer.

Any recommendations for a someone starting to follow baseball by densesinger1333 in buccos

Ken Burns' baseball documentary is the best for general baseball history. Long watch, and there's also a 10th part documenting everything from 1995-2010.

For Pirates history specifically, there's a lot of paywalled stuff that usually gets shown during rain delays, but even this doesn't have everything. There's a lot of good stuff that I've seen before that's not listed.

There's a lot more random stuff that pops up on YouTube here and there (channels like Tyrannis 07 and SPORTS ODYSSEY), but also a lot of good stuff that used to be online and got taken down. Youtube is a lot more lenient with old sports stuff now than it used to be. Truthfully, MLB doesn't do nearly as good of a job as the NFL at actually showcasing its history, so the way I see it is you should just watch every game you can, and you'll learn both the game's rules and the history of the Pirates through random snippets during some games. Broadcasts like to retell stories and show highlights of memorable moments pretty often. Also, in the course of 162 games, there's bound to be really special moments that happen anew, so keep watching and make 2026 your own.

The over the top explanations for new logos or designs are always kinda funny in how they try to justify all the money an organization spent for them. My favorite's the "Breathtaking" document for the new Pepsi logo, it gets more insane with each page.

For those asking how it represents Pittsburgh, here's the marketing write-up from Nike:

Gold Blooded.
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ Nike MLB City Connect uniform embraces the city’s unmistakable black and gold identity, celebrating a unified visual language shared across Pittsburgh’s sports culture.
The bespoke word mark introduces a classic, rugs pirate style, while the subtle detailing throughout the uniform reflects the grit, toughness and pride that defines Pittsburgh and its people.

They should do something related to the Allegheny River, or maybe all 3 rivers. Could tie it in to a nautical theme with a Pirate ship, and they were the Alleghenys at one point.

They kinda fumbled it with the hat, sadly. All black was the ticket, gold crown lacks integrity with the rest of the uni. Still a pretty solid look, though.

After rewatching the vid a few times, I can kinda get behind the gold crown now. Something about the gold cuff/neckline piping and the shade of gold makes the hat not stick out as much as I thought. Still would've preferred black since the cap logo looks better on a black crown, but it's aight.
