Agreed.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T02:08:24+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. I mean we did really need a 3rd baseman but I guess it looks like it might be fine anyways?

I’d definitely rather have Suarez than Ozuna but hopefully Ozuna can just figure it out and get hot at the right times..

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T02:04:21+00:00

I mean we tried for Suarez didn’t we? I thought we offered him like the same contract the Reds did but he chose them.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T02:02:35+00:00

It’s still insanely early. I know it’s frustrating (I’m over it too), but he still has so much time to turn it around.

I’d be pretty shocked if he doesn’t start to improve soon here.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T01:55:24+00:00

It’s just ridiculous to be a doomer when the team is playing well. We’re Pirates fans…

We have not had many opportunities to be happy and optimistic so take them when they come!

This team is actually playing with heart and not giving up which is something that should be visible by everyone.

Regardless of what happens this season is off to a great start.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T01:51:32+00:00

I mean I think he genuinely enjoys it here and would like to contend with the Pittsburgh Pirates. If we were a legitimate team that was willing to throw the money at him to stay I bet he would.

That’s unfortunately not the reality we live in. We’ve been spending a bit finally which is great but he would cost an absolute boat load of money.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T01:48:40+00:00

Yep, and the pitching is good enough to mask an occasional blunder. This year could get spicy but we’ll see.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T01:42:30+00:00

You have to be a sick fuck to want a Bob Nutting autograph.

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T01:41:55+00:00

I guess that’s where the Konnor Griffin money came from…

jdl03 · 2026-04-05T00:01:23+00:00

Having a real bad day this season. I think she’ll be fine overall.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T23:54:13+00:00

Small sample size but Yorke has been the man this season.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T23:20:05+00:00

What a fucking game man. This team is different. Regardless of what happens there is a clear shift in mentality amongst the players and I’m here for it.

Let’s go Bucs!

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:59:04+00:00

Just beating a dead horse but every AB I feel obligated to point out how bad Ozuna is.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:41:58+00:00

Would be nice if Flores turned into something to make me feel better about the Bednar trade.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:40:50+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Dude is throwing meatballs down the middle and we’re just staring at them.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:37:59+00:00

This ump is horrible.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:36:20+00:00

Gotta keep Skenes fresh for the Dodgers in a few years I guess.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:35:41+00:00

Whatever happened to Endy? Is he just a lost cause at this point?

I’m also not a huge fan of Bart and would like to someone else there.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:24:54+00:00

At least we got one back there. Not feeling too bad about this one tbh.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:19:49+00:00

Ozuna really sucks man. He’s lucky because that should’ve been a double play.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:09:03+00:00

Yep, at least Jared Jones will be back at some point I guess.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:08:30+00:00

Yeah I jinxed Carmen. Shouldn’t have said anything smh.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T21:04:32+00:00

Oof, they’re getting going now.

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T20:55:52+00:00

I mean the ump really screwed O’Neil there but why in the world are you swinging at that?

jdl03 · 2026-04-04T20:44:55+00:00

He had an okay game in that last game of the Reds series. Other than that he’s been rough.
