The Pirates will not be above .500 the rest of the season

I think it could be a possibility if they dig themselves into a deep hole in April. That's a tough schedule.

I went to a meeting with Cole dealing...and now back to this...?

That's it, no more meetings.

McCutchen is the Pirates' Jason Heyward. Except he's not that good at defense.

That was straight butt ugly Cutch.

McCutchen wrote a piece for some outlet, i didn't read it all, but what I saw was about wanting to be a Pirate and trying hard this offseason.

Not really being reflected today.

Andrew Samson hasn't been the same since he cut his hair.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 4:55 pm

Guess Cutch is in his mid-April form.

Rivero and Hudson look great.

Way to start out the season strong, shad.

Player's Tribune.. And those are fake / ghost writer. They get interviewed, a writer writes it "As he'd imagine the player would put it", then player signs off on it. (Not that any of this matters)

Strongly debating buying the radio-only MLB.tv stream. Only $19.99 for the year... so not bad, but I'll only use it during work hours / only for Pirate games. Not too many week-day day games.

Anyone ever purchase this before? Ever have any issues with it?
I buy the at-bat app that comes with the radio privileges. I'm assuming you'd get the at-bat access as well if you just buy the radio. Anyway it's nice to listen at the office when there's a day game. Worth the 20 bucks.. You can choose which broadcast you want too if that's something you would like
Thanks, I'll give it a shot

Andddddddddd work blocks it. (I checked if they blocked the site, they don't... once I hit play, it is blocked). Hopefully I get my $ back

dang that sucks

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 6:26 pm

▼Good Points Today:
1) Frazier played like a Gold-Glover in LF at Fenway and hit like he did in Spring Training.

2) Cervelli smoked the ball when he got a barrel on it. Also his OBP remains spectacular.

3) The Bullpen in the 6, 7, and 8 will not be a problem this year.

Cutch 0-4 with three strikeouts. It's just one game but man, that's hardly promising.
