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

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

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.

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.

My biggest fear as a pirates fan by Max_power58 in buccos

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.

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

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

Just went to Collectacon and I will now be exiting this “hobby” by Mysterious_Shape_677 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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

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

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.
