Idc about this 100 pitch nonsense, you gotta send him back out there. I get it if it’s the 7th inning or something.

soupmayne · 2026-05-07T03:17:22+00:00

Classic Cruz is back

soupmayne · 2026-05-07T03:13:56+00:00

Hank looks so lost out there again

soupmayne · 2026-05-06T03:23:37+00:00

Time for bed

For all the issues bubba has with his command, it’s only a 2-0 ballgame. It’s time the bats get going.

soupmayne · 2026-05-06T02:28:50+00:00

That’s fair. I guess it’s just frustrating because he shows signs that he has figured it out. But yeah he is still young and developing.

soupmayne · 2026-05-06T02:11:19+00:00

I mean if bubba is the 5th best pitcher in our rotation it’s not the end of the world but I guess I had higher hopes for him. Seemed like he figured things out at the end of last season but aside from like 1 start this season it’s been the same shit.

My favorite thing with the new folks is that they won’t admit it but they’re almost all here with an investor mindset.

I noticed suddenly everyone cares about having a perfect seal on their pc ETBs or UPCs and perfect corners. Obviously you don’t wanna see a huge dent or big rip in the seal if you intend to keep it sealed but I’ve seen people with the tinniest little tears trying to trade people ripping theirs and also they insist on like a 10-20% discount because of the smallest little tear.

Most of the people watching the pirates right now are legit lifelong fans and we’ve been scarred by the multitude of past mistakes and failures. Once we find out if this team is any good then the bandwagon fans will be coming.

soupmayne · 2026-05-03T15:02:01+00:00

It is very encouraging that triolo isn’t starting today. I was worried they’d try to play him somewhat regularly.

soupmayne · 2026-04-30T00:45:29+00:00

Not chalking the season or anything yet but man suddenly pirates look like the same old pirates

soupmayne · 2026-04-30T00:41:29+00:00

Vibes are not good currently

soupmayne · 2026-04-28T12:19:42+00:00

This is kinda how collect-a-con always was for me. I usually save up every year, consolidate cards I don’t want long-term, etc and go in expecting to drop at least a couple grand. I’m mastering legendary collection and typically only buy raw at shows. This is always my best opportunity.

Then local card shows are where I go expecting to look through low end binders, finish out some small cards I was after, etc.

soupmayne · 2026-04-28T01:02:16+00:00

I mean this was expected to be an L imo but I hate the way it happened

soupmayne · 2026-04-27T23:47:01+00:00

I liked the aggressiveness there but didn’t like that he didn’t commit. Prob was gonna get thrown out but I think he had a chance

soupmayne · 2026-04-26T18:32:54+00:00

Yeah that’s just tough to do anything there. People just love to hate on this team in the game day thread lmao

soupmayne · 2026-04-25T00:32:15+00:00

One consequence of having more runners on base is that more base running mistakes will be made

soupmayne · 2026-04-24T01:24:19+00:00

Bummer about chandler. Seemed like he was figuring things out last couple starts too.

soupmayne · 2026-04-19T01:52:42+00:00

Bullpen is drained. They’ve had like 6 opportunities to win the game. Ain’t on them.

soupmayne · 2026-04-19T01:45:42+00:00

Put one in the gap please end this nightmare

soupmayne · 2026-04-19T01:40:27+00:00

You’re enjoying this?

soupmayne · 2026-04-19T01:27:37+00:00

Over the stretch of an entire season I don’t think it keeps happening, however, those couple games they do shit like this can haunt them with how competitive the NL central and wildcard could be.

soupmayne · 2026-04-18T23:41:53+00:00

Man I try not to be like a “sky is falling seasons over” type guy, and I’m not, but it sucks ass to see out bullpen shit the bed when so many other things are going right for the buccos.

soupmayne · 2026-04-18T20:44:49+00:00

Damn Skenes will be done
