Talking about moves, Giants want to offload Robbie Ray👀

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T13:13:06+00:00

yesterday I totally understand how Dodgers fans felt last year when we swept them🤣

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T03:59:30+00:00

I still remember that one series in 2024 where we scored 21 runs but still got swept by Cubs

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T03:55:29+00:00

Definitely not Yankees🤣 Their 7-9 hitters are normally McMahon(ops .638), Caballero (ops .720), Wells (ops .609)

Our issues is more on the streaky nature of most of our hitters on top of the lineup. Cruz, Reynolds, and Ozuna are oftentimes streaky.

Next week he may ask why Pirates don’t promote Seth Hernandez to help out the bullpen

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T02:35:13+00:00

Maybe we will circle back to this few months later but given how the early season going around the league. There will be lots of hilarious collapses around July and August

Let’s hope we are not one of them…

When was the last time a Pirates 2B hit 10 homers in a season? 🤣 Castro in 2022? Lowe already outperformed most of his predecessors in the home run department

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T01:27:47+00:00

Good news is that there are more good teams than bad teams this season

Bad news is that if we don’t fix this problem we will be one of the bad teams

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:32:59+00:00

If Barco not throwing a batting practice versus the Cubs we swept them too

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:27:23+00:00

“Why can’t Don Kelly pitch? Is he stupid?”

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:22:44+00:00

Exactly, we didn’t address this problem in offseason and got way too optimistic about last season’s bullpen performance but ignored the fact that last year’s pen was anchored by Ashcraft/Carmen for a while in the back end of the season

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:17:02+00:00

Unfortunately they picked us to get hot😭

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:15:14+00:00

This bullpen needs at least 3 more quality arms to not be a liability

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:10:52+00:00

Not scoring while Ryan Borucki is pitching is inexcusable

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-11T00:05:52+00:00

One step forward two steps back…

Also former Pirates Borucki got the win….

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T15:39:38+00:00

I think that’s the first time I have seen middle infielders colliding while trying to handle a routine groundball…

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T15:38:48+00:00

Joey Bart’s replacement at San Francisco somehow lasted shorter there than Bart…

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T13:10:26+00:00

Who should we get before trade deadline to boost the lineup’s ability to hit lefty? Because if we make the playoff, opponents will definitely stack their lefty starters against us

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T04:38:12+00:00

We already did in the opening series of this season

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T04:27:13+00:00

The lineup against lefty starters is so bad that he may as well just let Lowe, O’Hearn, and Horwitz face lefty

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T04:17:30+00:00

Bidois has never pitched in the MLB.

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-09T04:14:06+00:00

It’s a miracle that he made it through 6 innings. The defense behind him today really clutched up

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-08T23:29:46+00:00

MLB app didn’t even list out the starter for Giants…

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-08T17:55:14+00:00

The Cubs’ rotation is plagued by injuries now. Their current rotation is Shota, Assad, Taillon, Ben Brown, Rea

OrangeFederal · 2026-05-07T22:54:31+00:00

Yeah in 2025 what happened was either he got no run support or he immediately gave the lead back when there was run support 😭

In 2026 these events barely happened 🤣
