It’s funny, the delays likely caused them to miss their window when food halls were the thing. They were like 5 years late to the party

I say it all the time. The Pirates don’t have a spending problem, they have a competence problem.

By being exponentially better at player development and scouting than everyone like they currently are?

I like the idea of a lefty starter in particular. Rather than move Chandler to the pen, I’d give Ashcraft some time off. He’s already surpassed his previous high for IP.

Maybe just me, but I think if they had to win that game, they would have won that game.

Also T on the HOV comes with at least 2 more Northside stops.

For a T extension on the HOV to work you would need significant park and ride and transit oriented development like the Denver rail project along I-25. Big difference is that line doesn’t run down the median.

I think the alternative path for Chandler would’ve been to send him to Indy which has the added benefit of extra team control.

They could have called him an “old school reliever” and given him 3 inning saves where possible. Like today he could’ve gone three innings.

In case you were interested, the Pirates pen leads the league in hit batsman coming into tonight.

I think we’ll see Dotel in the bullpen and if the Pirates are feeling really spicy Justin Meis might get a chance. I would be very surprised doesn’t come down with an “injury”

Would not be surprised if the Pirates make 2-3 more roster moves beyond Yorke before Tuesday.

Position players pitching in blowouts is getting tired. What I’d like to see is Paul Skenes or Bubba Chandler inserted as the DH up 10 runs.

I had a feeling Chandler would struggle at times, but he’s managed to mostly contain the sloppiness and limit the damage. That said, the Pirates won’t hesitate to send him down if Jones arrives while everyone else is healthy to pick up another year of control.

Bubba’s a full year younger and there wasn’t a huge difference between their cups of coffee last year. Bubba also throws harder and that sways people.

He didn’t exactly light the international league up last year. Still walked a batter every other inning and had a 4+ ERA. There is plenty of room for improvement in AAA but the Pirates are one of maybe 5 teams that would even be in the reasonable position to option him in the near future.

I hate how every time the Pirates have a legit team, the NL central suddenly becomes the best division in baseball.

If they were any kind of savvy, they’d have leveraged their notoriety and opened multiple locations in conservative areas.

It’s a home run at 27/30 ballparks. Not this one though.

A good chunk of the problem with the Pirates bullpen has been figuring out individual roles to get to Soto and Santana. The bulk of the rest have been middle relief. I think they’re beginning to figure out who does what. If they could find just one guy to handle bulk, they’d be in great shape.

Seth Hernandez’s line for Single-A Bradenton tonight: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K 61 pitches, 40 strikes, 11 whiffs The nine strikeouts are a new career high. His ERA through four starts is down to 0.53. It might be time to start looking into Greensboro rentals.

They should’ve been forced to draft whoever they called first.
