Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

I know I will regret it but I'm on the hype train. Just need to muddle along until Ben decides to put the five best starters in the rotation. If they do that in early May they can make the playoffs.

Pirates on pace for 95 losses through 83 games. Can they dig deep, look inside themselves, and find a way to lose 100 games?
They'll give as much playing time as necessary to VanMeter to make that happen.

Last time Colbert picked the Pitt kid and appeased the Yinzers with Conner he turned around and took a long snapper in the 5th round. I can't wait to see what he does this year now that he knows no one in town will complain. He's not who I would have taken. It's fine. Even if it doesn't work, it onl...

NFL

The Browns gave up a lot, but Watson is a franchise QB as long as he is on the field. I don't know the NFL handles civil suits these days, but if he plays all year he is a huge upgrade for them. The Steelers have by far the worst QB in the division at this point. Put another way, would you have thr...

The downside of not having a proper spring training? We were deprived one final chance to talk ourselves into Newman maybe not being that bad.

I think it says more that they're free to go in a bunch of different directions because they have at least short-term answers everywhere but safety.

I was wondering if Ben is sitting there pissed off that these moves are now instead of two years ago. :lol: These moves are only possible because his salary is off the books now. They could have let Juju walk and used that money on a real offensive lineman instead, but they were high on their own f...

Isn't Winston just a slightly better Haskins?
Haskins would need 5,000 throws in a season to throw 30 TDs like Winston did. That is not my endorsement of him, that's just me saying that comparing him to the guy who was possibly the worst QB in 2019 and 2020 is grossly unfair.

Makes absolutely no sense and doubt it's true. Especially with the playoff expansion. Then you got the issue with tech and okie state.

Imo just another rumor that someone is passing as breaking news.

All of the RBs they had on the roster prior to the draft sucked, this isn't a deep class for RBs, and this current brain trust has been unable to find RBs in deep drafts. It's fine.

With all measure of pressure removed, polanco emerges as a triple crown threat, propelling the pirates to the third worst record in baseball.

He'll manage to be injured at the trade deadline, making it impossible to move him.

They can't be worse than last year, can they?
Maybe not record-wise, but they're playing more than twice as many games. What they lack in intensity, they'll make up for in volume.

The Pirates finally decided to hit the plunger, blow things up and start over. NH should have done that 30 seconds after Marte tested positive in 2017, but he lacked balls. Instead he kept the ghost ship coasting along without any real plan or direction, hoping to end up near .500. This would have w...
