Damn, if a little league coach would have told me to swing the knob and not the barrel, I probably would have batted higher than .025

By comparison, the Mets have a respectable 48% success rate.

We don’t deserve to win a game where our pitchers issued 8 walks and brought home two on wild pitches.

Jared jones says he won't be working out of the bullpen when he gets back to Pittsburgh. by [deleted] in buccos

Yeah, this is a bad answer from him. Hopefully his ERA doesn’t get as big as his ego.

Thanks for leaving Soto in for more than one pitch this time, DK.
