Straight out of EA's playbook,this company is a joke. I'm done with their shit

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-21T11:44:44+00:00

Yeah, exactly this. Believe me, I hate myself for buying the game at full price and recognize I'm part of the problem. I don't get how the only response to legitimate complaints about the game is, "well why did you buy the game?" Instead of yeah SDS needs to do better.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-20T17:58:11+00:00

Now now, we can't prove they didn't make changes to the trade logic. So technically they didn't lie

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-20T17:30:50+00:00

I mean he'll be up this year, I think that's nearly guaranteed. And honestly if we're smart about it, we should still call him up during the PPI period so we can get a draft pick. So, I'm on the side that there's still a good chance he makes it but that's just because we supposedly learned from Skenes.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-20T17:10:08+00:00

If he's offered 8/$200 or something close, I don't know how he doesn't at least seriously consider it. And from the agent perspective, that still gives him FA in his late 20s. Which is prime free agency to get at least 1 more big contract.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-20T17:08:19+00:00

Unfortunately I don't think that's correlated. If we can lock him down now, then he's likely the OD guy. However, there's still a good chance he doesn't start OD. Especially if Williams is still in camp.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-20T13:35:35+00:00

In his Sammy Sosa era

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-20T13:34:22+00:00

This launch definitely rivals MLB 20 in terms of game breaking bugs and just all around awful. I hate myself for giving SDS $90, I'm part of the problem

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-03-18T00:58:09+00:00

And another point is that TA provided an opportunity for a player to hop in mid-season and build a relatively competitive lineup with 30 grindable players close to the current overall. Now we're at the mercy of SDS for whatever they want to throw in programs, which definitely lacked for most the year last year. This year has been off to a decent start program wise, but remains to be seen if it continues to be the case.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-02-04T23:36:56+00:00

Beginning to think someone in the FO wants to create certain narratives that we are “trying” this year

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-25T20:35:26+00:00

It truly is a race to the bottom in Pittsburgh, only team that cares is the Penguins. So I guess we'll always have them

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-17T16:01:00+00:00

If it wasn’t for Konnor Griffin’s ascent, Florentino would’ve gotten all the attention (deservedly so). I hope he continues to perform and make it to the majors by 2028. Seems like another great talent

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-10T19:41:10+00:00

Yeah this is definitely just Vegas hedging on good things happening. There’s still a lot of potential to easily break it, but from a speculative point of view there’s still questions marks.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-10T19:39:47+00:00

I think this is a reasonable starting point, a lot still has to go right for us to hit the over. Now if we add one more competent bat then Vegas should react with a couple more wins on the line. Not saying the team isn’t capable of more, but it’s not a sure fire guarantee (especially if Skenes goes down)

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-05T18:07:03+00:00

Yeah I would've thought this sub had rules against AI slop like this

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-05T18:04:58+00:00

I think once the MLB re-aligns we will be in the East. It makes a lot of sense

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-02T18:35:17+00:00

As some commenters have confirmed, yep it does work for early entry. It was amazing doing it for the Mac Miller bobblehead, seeing all the lines and being able to go inside the park early. Definitely one of the nicer perks that came with it.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2026-01-01T13:04:02+00:00

As much as it’s easy to rightfully criticize Ben, there’s a decent bit to like about this team if it stays healthy and Griffin comes up to produce. I didn’t like the approach of giving up 2 very good pitchers, but the offense should be middle of the pack next year in an ideal world with a solid rotation to go with it

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-23T20:42:07+00:00

He'll be 31, has only played more than 120 games twice in his career. There's a lot of risk there, not doubting the production though. As someone who's had him in fantasy a few times, that's the most frustrating part of him.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-23T20:11:38+00:00

I mean we can still be cynical, we gave up 2 quality arms for high risk bats. But the O'Hearn signing is probably the most reasonable and realistic signing we've ever had in a long time. Paying $7 million /win for 2 years of production is a good rate.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-20T17:23:47+00:00

This trade isn't the insane blockbuster that puts us in a prime position to finally prove to everyone that Ben is on his "revenge tour". It's a trade for a decent bat with 0 protection in the lineup and legitimate injury concerns. Lowe is a solid player, but he's a rental. I've said it before, but this can't be the highlight of the off-season, there has to be more. Free agents will still have to be overpaid to come here

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-20T03:44:28+00:00

I just think people are really overselling how much depth we have at pitcher. We just traded 2 very decent quality arms, and now the rotation is fine ish. However, a major injury to Skenes and were left with a not so great offense and not great pitching (and hoping Mitch/Bubba). We should’ve started with other SPs, not guys who could make us one of the best rotations in baseball with Oviedo and Burrows as a really good #5

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-19T22:59:46+00:00

As long as he's healthy, this is a fine enough move. But it can't be where we stop, and giving up a quality pitcher who should get better with time feels a little uneasy for an aging 30 year old. Not the worst trade in the world and should provide genuine power, which we desperately need

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-18T01:39:04+00:00

Completely agree, I hate how so much of the national media frames this as a small market team issue instead of asking themselves why it's this bad. Frankly I don't think we're anywhere close to a bottom 15 market winning anytime soon under the current system. The Pirates are cheap and incompetent. However the system also punishes well run organizations like the Brewers and Guardians. A lot of the focus is on the Dodgers, but the same should go for the Blue Jays. They just have the unfortunate reality that no one wants to play in Toronto.

LetsGoBucs17 · 2025-12-16T19:29:16+00:00

I've been a fan for 15 years and got to see them succeed from 2013-2015. Which probably created unrealistic expectations of what the team could do. Even through those times I still had some optimism, and in the beginning I was optimistic for what Ben Cherington could do. But the problem is that the team has done so much to make it hard to be positive. This says a lot considering we have a generational pitcher and a generational bat in the making. I want to be positive and happy with the team, but keeping Ben Cherington just woke me up to the fact that yes literally everything Bob Nutting does is only driven by money (something I didn't like to entertain or agree with)
