2024 Pirates Season Thread
I'm still trying to figure out why Shelton pulled Jones yesterday. Did he mention anything in the postgame? I mean, even if pitch count is a thing, 59 is hardly taxed...and he was cruising. Not any hard innings, heat not a factor, cold not a factor. 5 near perfect innings and you're in a 1 run game....

Cruz looks like he's guessing the pitches, and guessing wrong a lot. He's not really identifying anything, or even looking like he is trying...which is the most concerning IMO. He's got immense talent and potential but if you're going to swing at everything like its a 4-seam fastball you aren't goin...

We have a puppy so we are extremely leery about putting those traps out, and I think for carpenters you need to use the liquid traps. Honestly, if they're in the wall, I want to hire someone to take care of it. There's likely already damage that we'll have to deal with. Home ownership + adulting suc...

We used Terminix in Allison Park. Easy to work with, they'd come and go without bothering me. We were working to get carpenter ants out of a retaining wall. Thank you...I think we might have carpenter ants......that just showed up in our kitchen. We've seen them here and there over the years, but n...

Anyone have a recommendation for a pest control service that services the North Hills that they've used/liked?

Respectable split vs the Phils and took a series against the oriels. Cocaine Mitch got 7 innings. I’ll most definitely take it. Why do you call him that? I get that MM from KY was called that. He deserves better. Especially considering he's one of the more calm and soft spoken players on the entire...

Gotta wonder if they did rehearsals in less-than-complete wardrobe or makeup, cos the instant Gardner saw them it was lost. haha :lol: 100% this. You can see Gosling and Day laughing at her reaction almost like a 'i know, right?' at how awesome they look. I also love the fact that Gosling just seem...

That's probably true...Magic Mike XXL with Joe Manganiello didn't release until Jul 1st in 2015.

That is a perfect comparison.You took your dog to the upside down to tinkle.
Although because I was standing in what amounted to a puddle of a front yard, there's no way i could've thrashed Master of Puppets without getting electrocuted.

Had to take the puppy out at about 4:30am. I was like something out of an apocalypse movie. Wind was blowing hard with a kind of misty rain, everything was dark and quiet, except for the neighbors freaking creepy windchimes. Standing in mud and muck. Lucy was on extreme high alert scanning everythin...

Loved the first one. Don't mind musicals. Not completely sold on this one, but at least willing to wait and see. I guess I can kinda see how they could make it work, but if it ends up being the equivalent of 15 dream sequences with a story woven around it I think that might be lame. I dunno.

Grr. That was frustrating. Gem from your SP just gets nuked.
Let's not forget that Bednar was hurt in the spring, so not sure why they keep running him out there. It's pretty obvious that somethin' ain't right.

Chapman has been exactly what everyone hoped we were getting when he signed, but weren't really sure still existed. He didn't just close the door yesterday, he broke the glass insert after slamming it in DET face. If he continues to be lights out, it might be interesting to see how him and Bednar ar...

Yeah, I love me some Dawn Staley. Iowa needed CC to go superhuman for the entire game to have a shot, and she went cold for a few stretches that just killed them. SC never seemed all that threatened once they took over in the second half.
Great team. Even better coach.

I think it can be a combination of both, OP. Analytics drives pitchers toward higher spin rates and higher velocity. But there's a reason for that...high velocity with high spin rate is really, really hard to hit. So I think it's more pitchers are willing to push their arms to the limit to achieve b...

No, but Chapman is a generational closer who seemed to still have it. Without looking, Bednar seems to make 1 run saves interesting...a lot.Is the bloom off Bednars rose?

I read that he wasn't happy with the pitch count limit and went and threw 40 more pitches in the bullpen https://media.tenor.com/6AP9vvlkLnAAAAAM/my-man-my-man-hd.gif I get the innings count to a degree, but it's not like he's a 19 yr old prospect. He threw 122 innings for LSU 2 years ago with 2 co...

I will say I like the way they're doing it. Grinding at bats. Clutch 2 out hits. It's not perfect, but they're finding ways. They are pretty fun to watch right now.

One of my best friends is an undying Pirates optimist. We text daily about this stuff and he's brimming with joy with how the season started. A lot of what I post here is just stuff I pick out of our text conversation (like the 'heart break' line). I hope folks understand that I'm not making fun of...
