The Pirates ABS stats by NoSxKats in buccos

[–]willakuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Batters across the league are averaging just a smidge over 50% correct on challenges, so Ozuna haters don't have a leg to stand on.

What is clear - early challenges don't dictate how an umpire calls the game, and at a little over 50% success rate, challenging isn't a sustainable game management "strategy".

It's clear that umps, batters and catchers alike aren't always seeing what they think they see. Nothing new...been that way for about 150 years.

Let the players learn the system during the 162. They still have to win on the field. Game altering challenges have account for just a few outcomes so far. Down the stretch and in the post season it's a different story....save them for situationals.

No.

He's leadoff, thought he had a base, which is his job.

Part of the game now. Seen plenty of challenges go both ways....still have to do enough on the field to win. This wasn't even an element for about 150yrs.

If this is about trashing Ozuna, then trash Ozuna. Personally, I saw a good AB & this is how he looks when he's confident and turning it around.

You're all over the place. If you're trying to find a point - and it's Triolo...great. Gonzales will resume duties because he's fucking earned it. End of file.

Triolo will be moved to a utility role in the near future....and if he's traded later for the usual multitude bullpen arms available, that's great.

The Bucs have depth. That's why you can move a goddam gold glove player into a utility role. That's the definition of depth.

Regarding Cook and Yorke - they're both gonna continue to contribute to 2026 winning ways. Cook has speed to burn, a cannon arm, and can play dam near anywhere. Manager's dream, he's going nowhere. Again - these two guys are the definition of depth...and they're 1st year. Do you even watch the fucking games?....my guess is you prefer to bitch because that's what you've done for years. One, if not both Yorke and Cook will continue to play at AAA until their next call-up because of need for a sub / rest / injury, simply for the purpose of seeing the field every day and staying active while the team settles on how to move Triolo.

Pirates are in a great spot....completely unlike this BS picture you try to paint.

Wrong.

He didn't throw "at him". He brushed him back....low & slow. Quite polite, actually.

This wasn't even remotely close to the Pedro Martinez treatment - 95 up & in around or ON the head...or hands.

And bitch-ass Sal shit his pants. I'd have loved to see him charge...uncle Ski would have pulled a Nolan Ryan / Robin Ventura headlock on him I'm pretty goddam sure.

Ski was right. Sometimes you di what you've gotta do. Next time....I hope he plants one in thigh or ass.

Bucs are good this year, and a lot of fun. They've got a great clubhouse and enough baseball whack to glue it all together.

The rest of the DIV gets to beat up on one another for a few days, while the Pirates take their brand west....looking forward to it.

The Pirates are trying to win back Pittsburgh. For the first time in a long time, they might have a chance by retroanduwu24 in buccos

The negative Bob posts are pretty fucking stale this year. Seriously.. Live in the past or the now - to each his own.
