2018 Pittsburgh Pirates In-Season Thread

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue May 15, 2018 7:43 pm

Just in case any of you folks were unsure after last week, the White Sox are Bad.

Marte leaves game with discomfort.

Yes they are. Absolute worst team in the league with Baltimore a close second. We are fortunate to get to play them. Should be a couple easy wins.

If only we spent as much as the White Sox and Orioles.

I don't think the Sox are too high on the payroll charts. The Os however are a colossal disaster. Can we haz Machado?

Also, the Pirates are on their way to being 7 games over .500 over a quarter through the season. 10-3 in the division I believe.. to anyone still on the boycott train, this is a fun team to watch, you're missing out.

Alright Ron Cook, that's enough..

Marte and Polanco both getting feisty with the boycotters on the social media.

I mean what's even the message of the boycott now? How dare you field a first place team, management. Jerks.

I imagine 11K for a weeknight game in May isn't like an infrequent happening for this team.

The boycott is just a collection of fair weather fans that wouldn't be going to a meaningless May game anyway. It's just being amplified by the Fan and people like Tim Williams.

I think its more a wave of indifference than any boycott.

Yours truly was in attendance last night. I enjoy a two-thirds empty ballpark because there's less sweaty people around to annoy me. Williams is solid. Frazier had a solid night. Hope Cervelli's hand is okay. White Sox are incredibly terrible.

I'll be there Saturday, got free tickets at work. Unless there is a hint of rain then I'll probably make fun little paper airplanes out of them.

DD, that's true in theory, but they just shutter most of the concessions and create an artificial wait anyway.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Wed May 16, 2018 9:46 am

That is part of the experience dodint...

Postby **dodint** » Wed May 16, 2018 9:47 am

I'm only going because I've never been to a night game at PNC. If it's raining and cold? Yeah, no.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Wed May 16, 2018 9:47 am

I don't mind waiting in line (still wasn't much of one) if it means I can go spread eagle and air the goods out because the 20 seat row has 4 people in it.

Postby **dodint** » Wed May 16, 2018 9:49 am

Oh.

Well, sure. I wouldn't be surprised to find that a group of baseball fans would think a rain delay is some rite of passage that enables you to truly enjoy the game for what it is, or something.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Wed May 16, 2018 9:50 am

Baseball fans are like goalies in hockey...they're weird

It hit him in the arm

Well then I hope his arm, which is connected to his **** hand, is okay.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Wed May 16, 2018 10:05 am

I think either that broke a bone for Cervelli, or it didn't and he'll be fine for this weekend.

Marte's is obviously more problematic, hopefully he didn't tear a muscle in his side or something.
