I realize its only game 11, but when do these garbage vets with no long-term hope and no trade value (dyson, gonzalez) stop getting starts?

Never because Shelton is a Hurdle clone.

He honestly even talks like hurdle in his presser responses. I'm not optimistic that he's qualified for this.

I'd even add that as much as I want to see Tucker play SS I'm thinking a guy of that caliber playing OF is coming from above Shelton

Agreed but his main function right now should be to ensure adequate development of these young guys. Starting 2 journeymen regularly aint it

Putting out young guys every day before they're ready also ain't it, to play devil's advocate

If there is ever a year to play them, this is it. I'm fully onboard not rushing when Minor League is an option but I feel no game action is worse than getting it.

It really is a no win situation. Not to mention the young guys they have aren't even actually good.

Man Huntington really took a dump on the organization and then lit it on fire

Looks like they are on pace to have a record of 12-48 or so? Cool cool cool.

Buccos currently have a blistering league worst .182 winning percentage. If they keep that up (hopefully they don't), that would be the worst win % of the MLB modern era (since 1900) unless the record books would designate these records with an asterix or project them out based on 162 game schedule? Happy Wednesday, go Bucs.

Burdi to the 45 day DL. They’re gonna run out of pitchers in a 60 game season.

South Park’s Randy Dobnak on the mound tonight for the guys who don’t suck.

Polanco batting .059 so far? Nice.

Honestly just looking at the Pirates lineup in the ESPN box score and all of their anemic averages makes you want to puke.

We have three guys over the Mendoza line (and not by much) in the lineup tonight.
