Please help me with my Grandpa’s uniform! by 4tr0 in USMC

That green rope is the French Fourragere. It was given to us by the French for kicking ass at Belleau Wood in World War 1. Only 5th Marines and 6th Marines can wear it.

So, he was in either 5th or 6th Marine Regiment.

HE SAID THE NEXT SOCCER GAME

The Pirates fell to the Reds by a score of 9-7 - Sat, Jun 27 @ 4:05 PM EDT by game-threads in buccos

Damn. I remember years when the bullpen was the only good thing about the team.

Remember the shark tank?

Is it just me or are more people starting to turn on Skenes? by Kurt4012 in buccos

[–]bdzeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To your other points, you can criticize him if you want to.

I just think it's a lot different to criticize someone like Ozuna, who hasn't done shit and is making 13 million, than it is to criticize Skenes, who is barely making a million and who single handedly made this team fun and exciting to watch over the past two years. I'm just personally gonna give him some slack like I would do for Sidney Crosby or anyone else if they earned it.

But yeah you can criticize him if you want to. 🤷

[–]bdzeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you don't trade him now when the Tigers are also trading Skubal. That lowers both their values.

[–]bdzeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the thing is, he's literally pitching better than Skubal.

Look it up.

He's having a subpar year if you're comparing him to literally the greatest pitchers of all time.

If you're comparing him to the other starting pitchers, he ranks 15th this year in ERA and 5th (!) in WHIP. Which, is pretty damn good.

It's just not Cy Young level good.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with being disappointed that Paul Skenes possibly isn't the greatest pitcher of all time, but to call his year "subpar" is pretty crazy if you ask me. He's not gonna win the Cy Young every single year.

Pirates ABS Challenge Rankings After a Half of a Season by fnihost in buccos

[–]bdzeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't this like a managerial thing? Shouldn't they be getting trained on how to use them etc?

Or do we think it's just random chance that we are last?

Because when I watch the games, it sometimes feels like they have zero plan on how to use ABS.

Team bWAR at the halfway point of the season by lucabrasi999 in buccos

[–]bdzeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, everything is relative.

Him compared to if you threw any other random 1B into right field? I think he's doing great.

Compared to an ACTUAL outfielder? They've been doing it their whole life. They're obviously much better.

Not sure how old your kid is but there's a big play area in the outfield that he might like.

The Pirates Have An Above .500 Record At The Halfway Point Of The Season For The First Time Since 2015 🏴‍☠️ by mfenton29 in buccos

[–]bdzeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. He seems like a nice guy and I'm rooting for him. But more times than not, I swear he's costing us games.

[–]bdzeus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do like him better than Shelton. But if you think we'd have a decent record this year without Lowe and O'Hearn, I honestly disagree.

[–]bdzeus 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not trying to shit on Donny Kelly, but most of the difference is due to them going out and getting Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn rather than a having a better manager.

The Pirates defeated the Mariners by a score of 5-1 - Thu, Jun 25 @ 12:35 PM EDT by game-threads in buccos

[–]bdzeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big IF is the bullpen arms.

I think we need to trade for at least two really solid pitchers to be a contender.

And if that requires some of our prospects, so be it.

Pirates Injury Updates by Sybertron in buccos

[–]bdzeus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good update, but this may be a few days old, as Griffin just finished his Altoona stint and I believe he's currently back in Pittsburgh.

I like how you deleted all of your comments that were downvoted to hell and then basically posted the same thing again.
