The worst baseball I’ve ever seen.

Pirates get Canario, a 24yr old outfielder in a cash deal from the Mets. Supposedly a good bat with power.

They’re currently losing 4/0. It’s the 5th game of the season and already using a bullpen game. What a disaster. I guess they’re wasting some of their starting pitching talent in the minors.

Too early to claim they're intentionally blowing the season?

Seriously?

I'd love them to be good enough to throw a season.

Force the sale.

It looks like Cherrington’s 5yr rebuild plan has failed. At least Huntington got to 3 postseasons. Maybe they’re tanking again but keeping it a secret!!!!!!!

Well, at least they’re bringing up Harrington to pitch tonight. He should have been brought up as soon as Jones went down.

Is Shelton the new Tomlin?

10 new managers were hired in 2020 including Shelton. All have been fired except Shelton. And he has the worst record.

Bednar has been demoted. It was coming. Nice guy, but he lost it.

... Another shitty loss...

Still wanna preach to give our lads the first 15 games, but the
piss-poor play is surely speaking volumes.

Can Shelton last another 10 games?? ...

Nutting should buy them torpedo bats. But you have to make contact for them to work.
Shelton is forced to make fire with wet wood. Cherington is forced to form a championship caliber team with JV money.
Bottom Line Bob no where to be found.
I’ve heard that he’s looking for PNC Park upgrades? Is that true? If so, our city leaders better not give him a dime without team payroll increases.

Frazier is leading off and Pham is batting clean up on Skenes day. Two players that shouldn’t be here. SMH

Home opener again bat the Yanks! The Pirates had 2 chances to draft Aaron Judge in 2013.

Paul Vogel is throwing out the first pitch. I hope he isn’t expected to stay for the entire game as he’s suffered enough in his Russian imprisonment
