2019 Pittsburgh Pirates Season Thread

Look at that. Already proving me right.

42-8.

It's **** magical.

For reference, in 2013, the nationals GCL team set the record with a 49-9 season.

The bullpen coach, Euclidies Rojas, was suspended two games for violating his contract. Cool.

More suspensions than wins since the All Star game.

Came here to let you know that as a pirates apologist the fact that there's no accountability whatsoever for this debacle has officially rendered the franchise unsupportable, even for me.

They should clean house Thursday morning. Connelly on down.

Low payroll doesn't excuse you from dropping pop ups, allowing Alex mcrae to appear in a major league game, allowing men to steal bases uncontested, clubhouse fights, etc.

Bauer to Cinci

Bauer to Cinci

For Puig, who is still in the game tonight. Weird.

Bauer to Cinci
For Puig, who is still in the game should’ve been ejected tonight. Weird.

David Bell needs his ass kicked. Badly.

The bullpen is straightening out with kela and feliz.

Kela with 4 scoreless outings since his return. And he was riding 5 scoreless outings in April before going down

And Feliz is 12.2ip 1.42 in July and his last 5 appearances in June were 6ip 1er

Liriano has only given up runs once in his last 8 outings

Crick 1er over his last 6 outings

And rich rod wow. 23.2ip in June and July: 1 run allowed

Who cares. Also probably best to trade Kela before today's game. Probably Marte, Dickerson, Melky, Bell, Vazquez and Polanco too

They should just own it and do a full rebuild.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Wed Jul 31, 2019 8:50 am

Kela is a real POS for that move last night. I think Bell is freaking lunatic, but JFC, why pour gasoline all over that fire.

Postby **Morkle** » Wed Jul 31, 2019 9:10 am

I'm pretty sure Kela is confirming that he's a total scrub, and did this to get back at the Pirates.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Wed Jul 31, 2019 9:25 am

Rosenthal putting it at 50/50 on Vazquez getting traded.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Wed Jul 31, 2019 9:29 am

He's getting traded. Pirates are going to settle for something less than Lux.

The only thing more pathetic than a baseball benching clearing "brawl" is men's soccer in general

Yeah, I am inclined to agree. There are a lot of things in baseball that are just strangely cringe-inducing. Baseball players, I think in general, are weird dudes.

There are some many things that happen in those 30 seconds that boil my blood. Zero punches land. Ten guys grab one guy. 75% of guys entering the pile are absolutely terrified.

Just once I want to see a baseball fight involving a dude who has a clue what he's doing and end up looking like an in his prime Mike Tyson.
